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.

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.
