Attorney David Rintoul Rintoul and Our Long Term Disability Denial and Resolution: He is brilliant, professional, and if it is legally possible to win a case he will do it! We did not believe that it was possible to win against a major Connecticut Insurance Company – also the employer of my husb...and who, after honoring the Short Term Disability policy, this Insurance Company denied payment for the Long Term Disability. After the 6 months of receiving the STD checks, the Insurance Company- my husband’s employer - wrote my husband a letter stating “come back to work and we will find something else for you to do, if you are having difficulty keeping up with what is required of you presently” and also “you are NOT eligible for your Long Term Disability “ payment. The Insurance Company’s letter was earth shattering, as it was NOT possible for my husband to return to work at all. We appealed this claim with appropriate information from one of the foremost specialists in the country on my husband’s condition and diagnosis. Yet this insurance company found 2 independent physicians (specialists, they claimed, in his diagnosis) to review the tons of medical records, and confirm the Insurance Companies claim. DENIAL. Both of their independent physicians agreed with the Insurance Company. We felt frustrated and hopeless. It was the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society that gave us the name of Attorney David Rintoul. Attorney Rintoul made time to meet with us without any waiting. His office staff is efficient. David Rintoul reviewed my husband’s medical records and asked us a few questions. From our first meeting we found him to be down to earth yet professional. He thoroughly reviewed the LTD policy. He did not give us any false hope. He told us right away - exactly what we could expect - from him, and from the appeal ahead. He told us what the possible outcomes could be, what the chances were of success, how we might have to proceed to court and litigation, and also what he would charge us for his work. And he certainly did work for us, for quite a reasonable fee. Also during this time period we applied for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSI). My husband was granted his SSI with his first application. Why? Because Attorney David Rintoul referred us to another Attorney, who answered our telephone call immediately, and, on the telephone, kindly gave us advice on how to apply for SSI. This Attorney did not charge us at all. However, being granted SSI did not affect the case for the LTD claim. Attorney David Rintoul’s appeal against this MEGA Insurance Company was also successful. We know this success is all due to Rintoul’s tenacity, expertise, and other attributes he possesses for the positive outcomes, and high quality of his meticulous labor. Although he is a busy person, he always managed to respond to all our questions in a timely manner with patience, understanding, and compassion. He paid careful attention to the timeline and deadlines set by the Insurance Company that was a crucial part of the appeal. He kept us informed about the deadlines, and was on time with sending documents to the Insurance Company. This was critical, as missing deadlines could have prevented our success. But our success depended on the on the work, the insight, and the knowledge of Attorney Rintoul. Truly Rintoul is brilliant! Even though he is not a medical professional he knew exactly what information and additional tests were needed to win the case. He was able to track down and gather information from physicians whom were at times difficult to connect with due to busy schedules. The documents Rintoul provided to the Insurance Company were undeniable- literally. Most impressive and extraordinarily perceptive was a final lengthy letter Rintoul wrote to the Insurance Company. He exposed what the Insurance Com
