"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."
"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."
