Superior Disability Attorneys
I look back on the last 3 years and it’s hard to believe how I am where I am today. I never would have thought it even possible. When I left my job and went on short-term disability I was so distraught I can’t even remember who referred me to Scott Riemer. I only know that without Scott and the team ...

Thank you
Making the decision to leave the workforce due to my disability was one of the hardest decision I have had to make thus far in my life. I was very lucky to find Riemer and Associates to handle my disability claim. My medical issues did not allow me to deal with my disability insurance company....
"I have worked with Scott Riemer on many ERISA disability cases and can attest to his expertise in all areas of ERISA disability law. He has published a book detailing his extensive knowledge in this niche area of law. He is also an incredibly intelligent attorney who is a strong advocate on behalf of all of his clients."
"I fully endorse Scott Riemer. Scott is an industry leader and highly successful attorney in the niche area of ERISA long term disability insurance benefits. He has built a prestigious and well-respected practice that delivers both top notch results and high touch client service. His success is unmatched in the NYC market. Beyond his success, Scott is a genuinely compassionate attorney who goes above and beyond to deliver the best for his clients. His approach is transparent, thorough, and earnest."
"Scott is an innovative, creative lawyer. His team works tirelessly to help their clients get the insurance disability benefits to which they are entitled."
"I heartily endorse and recommend Scott Riemer and all of the attorneys and staff who work with him at his firm, Riemer & Associates LLC ("R&A") (and especially Paul M. Kampfer, Esq., one of the firm's associates). I initially found R&A through Avvo on behalf of a client of mine who needed assistance with a long-term disability benefits denial. R&A, under Scott's expert leadership and direction, worked with me and my client to provide us with a sound strategy for contesting the denial of benefits and a stellar array of arguments that ultimately convinced the insurer involved in the case to reinstate the client's benefits. Scott and his team--and particularly Mr. Kampfer and paralegal Arianna Gonzalez--worked vigilantly with me and the client--even through his hospitalizations--and went above and beyond the call of duty in rendering legal services. The quality of services that were provided and the amazing outcome of this case are goals to which all lawyers should aspire."
