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!

Attorney Michael E. Quiat - Professional, Knowledgeable, Courteous. Truly a man of honor and integrity.

As I was facing some of the most difficult times of my life with seemingly no way out, I was most fortunate to meet Michael Quiat. Among other things, I was in search for a long-term disability attorney I felt I could trust, and put my life in their hands. I researched the internet thoroughly and met... various LTD attorneys. But it was not until I met Michael Quiat that I began to believe that all was not lost. Mike sat with me, focused fully on my situation. He did not interrupt but listened intently. At the end of my verbal dissertation, he calmly and with the highest level of confidence said, "Everything will be alright. We will work through this together and begin to turn your life around." At that very moment, I felt as if a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I believed in him because I knew he believed in himself. Michael was by my side as we completed the entire filing process, and continues to be there still should I have any questions or concerns. He makes himself available as if I were his only client, which I am certain I am not. He has been more than just an attorney who has helped me successfully receive my long-term disability. He has been a friend and advocate as well. He has been instrumental in helping me start to take control of my life once again. Though the road ahead may still be long, it brings me great comfort and solace to know that I will not be walking that road alone, but will always have Michael by my side. Thank you Michael for all you have done, and continue to do, for my family and me. A most grateful and satisfied client.
