Denial Decision Reversed

After months of waiting for my insurance company to make a decision, my long term disability (LTD) claim was denied. I had suffered a medical crisis which left me with a disability and could not understand the insurance company's decision. I was fortunate to find and retain Attorney George Thompson w...ho is a highly skilled, experienced LTD attorney. He was a strong advocated for me. Attorney Thompson knew what critical information needed to be emphasized and he composed a clear, logic tight argument which resulted in the insurance company quickly reversing their denial decision, and approving my long term disability claim. Thank you Attorney Thompson!

A Rare Bright Spot

So... My wife fell ill, which was stressful. She kept getting worse, which was more stressful. Then she needed oxygen and wheelchairs and couldn't work any longer and I had to sell my business and find a new job so I could stay home to care for her and we had doctor's appointments nearly every day an...d she was having seizures and her insurance kept denying that she was ill... Have I mentioned the stress yet? Then we found Mr. Thompson. When I look back at those two or three years when everything was bleak, confusing, scary, frantic, and (dare I say it?) stressful, but honestly, Mr. Thompson stands out as one of the very, very few bright points in our lives at that time. He was able to answer our frantic, barely coherent questions very calmly in language we could understand, he answered our messages and calls quickly, he shielded us from the insurance company so we weren't getting two or three letters a day from them, and was able to help us through one of the most difficult periods in our lives with grace. We finally felt as though we had a true ally in our fight, and that meant the world to us.

Tremendous attorney

Mr Thompson worked very hard for me to gain my insurance disability benefits. Unless you have confronted insurance disability claims , you will be shocked how dishonest and aggressive these companies are. No limit to the scams they do . Mr Thompson did a fine job . He can and will help you as well

Results oriented professional with a human touch

Having George represent me, was a decision that led to positive sustainable results. My insurance company tried to back out of our agreement, and thanks to George, the insurance company had to comply. There is more to George, than just successful legal approaches, he has a genuine human touch. He emp...athizes with the challenges that others face. He makes time for his clients. George's professional presence, empathy for others, willingness to listen, and orientation towards excellence, makes him the absolute first choice in representation.

So happy I chose George Thompson

I hired George Thompson to appeal a denial of my disability benefits. From our first conversation George was kind, helpful, and informative. Throughout my appeal process, George went above and beyond to make sure I was in the loop and kept me posted of any details. He guided me to take all the ri...ght steps to improve my chances of a favorable outcome. In the end, we won my appeal and I was paid all my retroactive benefits in addition to a full reinstatement of my monthly benefits moving forward. I am so happy I went with George over one of the cookie cutter large firms. Not only do you get way more personalized service with George, his prices are way more affordable! All in all, I highly recommend George Thompson, and quite honestly can't say enough good things about him.
