Excellent LTD Lawyer

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.

Wonderful experience!

George is truly the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. His help when I had no one to turn to was invaluable! Trying to get anyone to go against the Insurance Blob after they stopped paying my long term disability claim was next to impossible. Attorney Thomson's knowledge of the Insurance companie...s tricks helped me through one of the toughest financial times in my life! Thanks for all your help George!

Long-Term Care Benefits

I have a policy for Long-Term Health Care Benefits with a major company that I took out 15 years ago. This past year when I filed a claim they approved some of the claims but denied others. I hired George Thompson to review my policy and he filed an appeal indicating that the benefits they denied a...re clearly covered by my policy. Upon further review by the company, they approved the claims they had denied earlier. Because of George Thompson's efficiency and knowledge of the insurance industry the additional cost to me was minimal

3 Times a success!

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.

George is one of the best lawyers I have seen in a long time…

George helped me with getting back my long term insurance from a job that just completely shut me out after I had to go in disability for good. As they told me that I was well enough to return to work. George not only took on my case but had followed through and won he continued to make sure I was t...aken care of. When I had been hospitalized for a couple of months on and off he not only got an extension on filing the appeal but he drove to my home on New Years day to interview me and do a small video! He was able to get the insurance to pay me back pay,l, as well as continuing coverage until I’m 65!! We are so grateful for his service! Thank you always George! Marilyn M Soper
