George Mathews Thompson Jr

During the process of filing and being approved for my LTD claim I greatly benefited from George’s expertise, genuine personality, friendly demeanor, and conscientious nature. I felt like George had my back and that his top priority was helping me deal with my disability and get the support I needed.... Having a teammate who possesses his wealth of knowledge, vast amount of experience in the field, professionalism, and terrific interpersonal skills was a godsend. Overall, if you’re looking for the best LTD lawyer around, I highly recommend hiring George Thompson.

George Thompson was a great lawyer for me in helping my get back on my LTD insurance. I wasn't getting much, and most lawyers wouldn't even consider helping me because it wasn't "worth it" for them, but my meager income is vital for my family. Not only did George represent me for a reasonable price,... he helped me get the tests I needed to prove that I was still disabled...three times! That's right, on three separate occasions I was kicked off of my LTD insurance...the first, because they seemingly kick off everyone after a year or two and see if they can win an appeal; the second, because an incompetent assistant to my specialist incorrectly filled out the forms from the insurance company; and the third time, because my company tried to kick me off because they thought I could work enough even though they knew I couldn't work FT. George was successful with all 3 claims, and he communicated with me well throughout the process.

This is written in gratitude to Attorney George Thompson. I am the court appointed guardian of my 45-year-old son who suffered a traumatic brain injury caused by a motorcycle accident. When the insurance company providing my adult son's long-term disability benefits decided that he was no longer disa...bled I was stunned. The insurance company's decision was completely at odds with my son's ongoing cognitive and physical deficits diagnosed by licensed therapists and a neuropsychologist. Not surprisingly, a Social Security Administration review, conducted after the insurance company's termination decision, concluded that my adult son in fact has a continuing disability. Being an attorney, I thought the insurance company's ill-conceived decision would not be difficult to refute. I quickly learned that this area of the law is fraught with technical landmines and beyond my ability. I, also, learned that very few attorneys have the experience to navigate this esoteric area of the law. It was exceedingly difficult to obtain a referral for an attorney experienced in appealing terminations of long-term disability benefits. I was beginning to feel very discouraged and fearful that my son's benefits would never be reinstated. Then I spoke with Attorney George Thompson. He understood the severity of my son's injuries and the ramifications of the insurance company's arbitrary denial of benefits. I will never forget the sense of relief I felt after my first conversation with Attorney Thompson. In the years since my son's accident, I have found very few, even within the medical community, who understand the unique manifestations of a brain injury. Attorney Thompson has a keen knowledge and empathy of how a traumatic brain injury can subtly manifest itself. Given my son's diagnoses and Social Security Administration's decision, I knew we had grounds for a legitimate appeal. I also knew that there was no guarantee of a successful outcome. What I did know was that my son's appeal was in good hands with Attorney Thompson. When we received notice that Attorney Thompson had won my son's appeal, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. My son's benefits will be reinstated and he will receive retroactive payments. Most importantly Attorney Thompson's win required the insurance company to acknowledge that my son continues to be disabled. Attorney Thompson's work demonstrates the best of the legal profession. He is held in greatest esteem by our family.

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!
