Excellent help with my Disability Insurance Claim!

Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. represented me with a disability insurance claim, and I am so thankful I was referred to him. He was excellent! He helped make the process simple and straightforward. He guided me along at each step, making sure that everything was done correctly and effectively. Ultimately, w...e had a positive outcome, and I don't think I could have done it as successfully or easily without him. I HIGHLY recommend him and the firm.

Insurance Claim

Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. represented me with my disability claim against an insurance company. He has a high level of professionalism and I am truly grateful for his help to get my disability claim payments reinstated. If I ever need representation from an attorney Joel would be my first call and I... highly recommend him.

Super pleased

I have been working with this firm for almost 3 years and I am exceptionally pleased with them for the following reasons: 1) They have successfully advocated and represented me every step of the way 2) Explained the process clearly, identified risks and did not overpromise 3) Extremely knowledgabl...e 4) Do not waste my time (and increase my bills). Calls and emails are short, direct and to the point; Sometimes, I also do some "self service" to help lower my bills and they are fine with that 5) Reachable and responsive 6) Professional, courteous and accommodating They were an excellent hire. I'm so glad they were recommended to me

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Joel for a number of years. Like myself, Joel practices Long-Term Disability Insurance Law (among other things). We routinely discuss cases and bounce ideas off of one another. I have found that Joel consistently demonstrates strong insight into the law, excellent judgment, and a thorough understanding of both legal strategy and client needs. He is a dedicated and effective advocate for his clients."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the opportunity to work with Joel Zelkowitz as co-counsel on a challenging ERISA disability case, and together we achieved an excellent result for our client. Joel is thoughtful, strategic, and highly effective in his approach. He understands both the legal framework and the practical realities of disability claims and litigation. I have known Joel for approximately eight years, and throughout that time he has consistently demonstrated professionalism, sound judgment, and strong advocacy skills. He is well respected in the ERISA and individual disability insurance space for good reason. Joel is someone I would confidently work with again and recommend to clients and colleagues alike."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
