I have focused my entire legal career on assisting disabled clients obtain their disability benefits. I focus mainly on ERISA (Group) Long Term Disability and Individual Disability Income cases. I have successfully handled claims against all major insurance companies, including, among others: UNUM, Prudential, CIGNA, Hartford, MetLife, Lincoln, Northwestern Mutual, Mass Mutual, Reliance Standard, and Sun Life. I have extensive experience managing disability cases on behalf of my clients at all stages of the claims process from preparing initial applications for benefits to monitoring long-term disability claims once approved; preparing comprehensive administrative appeals on denied claims; and, when necessary, litigating denied appeal. I always strive to get my client's benefits approved quickly and efficiently.

Paul Kampfer from Hiller, PC represents me in connection with my long term disability claim. Paul was a beacon of hope when all seemed hopeless. He sets the bar for what an attorney should be. His calm approach and empathetic demeanor gave me a sense of serenity that I haven't felt in a long time....

Great lawyer for disability application and appeal
I was referred to Scott Riemer by a friend of mine who is an attorney. She was also using this firm for her ERISA disability claim. I had no legal background and I did not know anything about the disability process. I have an unfortunate medical issue which has cut short my career. Mr. Riemer and ...
"Paul is an excellent attorney with deep knowledge of ERISA and disability insurance law, particularly long-term disability claims, appeals, and litigation. Attorneys who practice in this area know how complex these cases can be, and Paul consistently demonstrates a strong understanding of both the legal and medical issues that arise in disability insurance matters. I have always found him to be thoughtful, responsive, and well regarded among others in the field. He works diligently to advocate for his clients and approaches these cases with the level of care and attention they require."
"I heartily endorse and recommend Paul Kampfer and all of the attorneys and staff who work with him at the firm at which he is employed, Riemer & Associates LLC ("R&A"). I initially found R&A through Avvo on behalf of a client of mine who needed assistance with a long-term disability benefits denial. Paul and other R&A personnel 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. He and the R&A team--particularly firm principal Scott Riemer 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."
