M. Katherine Sullivan

I had a contentious situation trying to get a major national insurance company to pay benefits on short & long term disability policies which I had paid premiums on for years. I received a referral to Ms Sullivan from a relative. Once brought up to speed on my situation she "took the bull by the ...horns" and within a few weeks I received the funds for several back months of benefits. The insurance company continued to stop benefits without prior notice a couple more times over a 3 year period, this despite fact SSDI accepted my first application for disability benefits early on. Atty Sullivan "nudged" them again and again to keep my benefits flowing. As I approached the time limit on the benefit period, the insurer again stopped paying me over a year before the scheduled expiration. Atty Sullivan carefully reviewed my options and we ended up filing suit in a federal court on alleged multiple counts of action. After about 4 months she negotiated a final settlement which pleased me very much. I found Atty Sullivan to be very easy to deal with. She spoke in language I understood, never "over promised" on potential results and "held my hand" when needed as events arose and responded promptly to email & phone messages. I also found her fee schedule to be very fair without some of the added fees and expenses added by law firms. So yes, I had to pay an attorney to get the benefits I was entitled to but it was a small price to pay in the end. Unfortunately there are still major insurance companies that feel they can take your money and ignore you when you file for the benefits. A very sad state of affairs. Lastly, there were many issues that cropped up during the 3+ years Atty Sullivan helped me. I found her breadth of knowledge on soo many issues to be incredible. This review may seem to be a bit over the top, but it reflects my actual personal experience. I am a retired financial executive so I spent thousands of hours over 40 years working with attorneys and she just stands out as one of the best. I whole heartedly endorse Atty Sullivan and believe you will not find any better, by almost any measurement criteria.

I can’t help but feel gratitude for the years of preparation Kate put forth to ensure a successful outcome for my case. Her persistence in showcasing the truth of the case and the time it took to research many of the wrongdoings was astounding. I will forever be appreciative of her professional gui...dance, support and amazing execution. She was always available despite her busy schedule and helped me feel secure about the case regardless of all the challenges and uncertainties I simultaneously had with my health. I know I couldn’t have done it without her! I am forever grateful that I choose Kate and she was willing to take on my case. She is certainly the best in her field!

Kate is an awesome attorney. My disability case continued on for over 3 years. During that time, Kate always kept me informed during each step in the process. She was professionally aggressive with opposing counsel, filing motions and advocating on my behalf. Her briefs addressed all their claims; ne...ver failing to address each issue that they presented. When I was discouraged or concerned, she would take the time to address my concerns and answer my questions. In the end, the judge found in my favor and ultimately a settlement was reached. Although filing a claim offers no guarantee of winning, My situation dictated that I try. I firmly believe that it was Kate's knowledge and expertise that led to the outcome and settlement we received. I have the utmost respect for her and her firm, Rosenfeld, Rafik and Sullivan.

Kate Sullivan recently represented me in a legal matter. I cannot speak highly enough of her for her professionalism and top notch representation. She always communicated with me to advise me on the status of my case and never failed to respond to any inquiry I may have had. I will certainly recom...mend her and her firm to my family or friends who may need representation in the future.
