Dedicated and Knowledgable

I contacted Eric after reading the amazing reviews here. Eric listened to our story, took on our case, and won. Very knowledgable about life insurance. He was easy to communicate with, whether it was emails, phone calls, or texts. Also, he was very professional and genuine. Highly recommend Eric Dinn...ocenzo!

Excellent Representation

I hired Mr. Eric Dinnocenzo after reading the good reviews on AVVO. He did not disappoint. He provided excellent representation in my LTD case. Mr. Dinnocenzo was professional, experienced, and attentive despite the obstacles we faced during the case. He was realistic and was always available to expl...ain things in layman’s terms. I was pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate in giving Mr. Dinnocenzo a great recommendation.

Professionalism & creativity every step of the way!

I hired Eric Dinnocenzo because of his great success and experience in life insurance and long-term disability matters. I especially needed his expertise to handle my long-term disability claim after the insurance company denied my claim, after two years. Every time the insurance company tried to m...aneuver, Eric was already ahead of the game; he thought outside the box and shook them up. Eric could predict their moves and with his thorough, knowledgeable (case law) and creative writing skills, he could circumvent Goliath, on every turn. We had an uphill battle against the "arbitrary & capricious" ruling found in most, if not all, long term disability policies. Eric could convince the Judge that we were entitled to depositions and records of the insurance companies adjusters and physicians; unheard of. Thereafter, Eric could convince the insurance company that an early resolution was in the best interest of all; we avoided heavy trial costs, in a corporate favorable Federal Court. He believed in me and fought vigorously; nothing came easy. I admire his professionalism, patience and good nature. He handled my case exclusively; I did not have to deal with any associates. Finding an attorney to handle long-term disability and life insurance matters is difficult, as it is a specialized field; finding an attorney that can fight an insurance company, when all the cards are stacked against you, is another. Mr. Dinnocenzo also litigates personal injury matters, in the same fashion. I highly recommend Eric Dinnocenzo for any case.

Very good experience, excellent attorney

Eric took on our housing discrimination case and handled it beautifully. The case was resolved quickly and efficiently and our settlement definitely exceeded our expectations. I tried to stop negotiations at one point because I thought we should consider a lower offer but he felt we should be better... compensated and advised us to hang on. It all worked out really well for us. Do not hesitate to hire Eric, he's very smart and well prepared.
