I was a new resident in the state of NY and suddenly found myself dealing with a debilitating illness and eventual career derailment. I wasn't getting anywhere with my employer's Short-term and Long-term disability claim process and had no source of income to maintain my livelihood and was in danger ...of losing our dream home. My health condition was very poor and found it extremely difficult to keep up with Dr.'s diagnostics, office notes, lab results and the subsequent barrage of insurance claims forms and bureaucracy. I realized that I needed an experienced attorney to deal with my type of illness (Chronic EBV), and could manage to a successful disability claim. When I researched Frankel & Newfield's website, I was impressed by their clients' testimonials. It was like reading my own story. Also, I learned of Mr. Frankel's Ethics award voted on by his peers and felt reassured that I was dealing with a top professional in the legal field. I was able to work out a contingency agreement for F &N to map out a process and execute a successful short-term and long-term disability claim with my former employer and their insurance carrier. Having them on my side made all the difference in the world and they were always available and responsive to my questions and concerns as we went through the claims process. I would most definitely recommended Mr. Frankel and his organization. They are true professionals and I gladly give them my strongest endorsement for people who find themselves in a health crisis that totally turns their world upside down. They can get you right-side up.
