"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.
