Joel Zelkowitz

We were extremely pleased with the counsel provided by Joel Zelkowitz, of the firm Uscher, Quiat, Uscher, & Russo. Joel was immediately responsive to our inquiries, knowledgeable about insurance issues, and generous with his time. Unlike other attorneys that we interviewed before him, Joel was focus...ed on a positive outcome for us versus a lucrative engagement for his firm. His professional approach and sound recommendations reassured us as we tackled our complex insurance matters. We would use Joel’s services again without hesitation and highly recommend him to others.

Fantastic Firm with Exceptional Results

I have been a client of Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo and specifically Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. since the summer of 2017 when I injured my hand and the firm was referred to me by the providers of my disability insurance. Never did I think I would need an attorney for my straight forward injury and cl...aim... I was wrong. Thankfully my path was gratefully blessed with Mr. Joel Zelkowitz from the very beginning. He has handled everything with getting my disability insurance policy activated without issue and has done so with me being many states away. Joel quickly and diligently handles any matters that arise and deals with them directly. Mr. Zelkowitz always takes time to explain to me the importance of each and every thing that he does for my case. He truly is my advocate. He is NEVER too busy for me and has always made extra time for me during my more "stressed" times. I appreciate Joel is never shy about asking for other's opinions in his firm as well. Mr. Zelkowitz not only handled the initial matters with the insurance company, but he has since dealt with an appeal on my behalf to get my claim reinstated after the company stopped paying. I honestly cannot imagine having to deal with paperwork on my own. I would not be receiving my disability payments if it were not for Mr. Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. and his continued hard work, motivation and outstanding skills. Thank you!

Recommendation of Michael Quiat

Mike took the time in our initial meeting to truly understand my situation and what I was up against. He listened to my concerns and never pressured me to make a decision to retain his services. Mike allows for input from you in developing your appeal. He referred me to the appropriate doctors and to... an Occupational Therapist for testing in order to document my disability. There was constant communication via e-mail or by telephone. Mike is dependable, he does what he says he is going to do and he follows up on the action steps. He is straight forward with you and realistic about your chances with the appeal and the time frame involved. He has a professional office with a very competent staff including paralegals. Mike is highly experienced in dealing with the major insurance carriers. He is also very personable and he made additional recommendations to me regarding my well being. He is the number 1 individual disability in the state. Simply put, he is the best, hands down. I highly recommend him.
