Re: Professional Liability Insurance
DC does not have any reporting requirement for legal malpractice insurance, so the only way to find out is to ask or to assert a claim. If the lawyer is also licensed in VA, the Va. State Bar (www.vsb.org) requires reporting of coverage, although I don't think they require the policy limits to be disclosed.
