A thorough, bright and caring attorney. Handled a dentist disability claim with exceptional knowledge and skill.

Mr Frankel helped me navigate a challenging professional disability claim. The most significant challenge is that insurance companies enjoy collecting premiums, but find every loophole to avoid a legitimate claim. They are armed with a team of attorneys that are difficult for the average person to ...litigate or even negotiate with. As a health care provider I had the good fortune to hire Mr Frankel to begin the claims process. His knowledge of the process in the health care industry is exceptional. With preplanning he was able to navigate a process that has every opportunity for denial. Most importantly he clearly explains the facts and does not talk in legalese so that you can understand the process. His thoroughness in preparation helps the process be more of a good chess game than a potential nightmare. It was clear that I was dealing with an expert on the matter that was most concerned about the process and not generating a fee. It was a challenging case due to the many details and substantial disability payments the insurance company was responsible for. He was able to get payments started within the month and have payments continue through the challenge process. The integrity and thoroughness of Mr. Frankel made the process more successful and with resulting minimal stress knowing that I hired the right person to challenge the proverbial insurance giant. In my almost 20 year health care career I have had the opportunity to work with and establish relationships with many attorneys. I can confidently say he is one of the best at his craft with exceptional integrity.

Disability Claim

The issue involved a disability claim with a top ten insurer. I attempted to pursue on my own but encountered typical obstruction, frustration, and denial. My health issues were further complicated by their inattentiveness and indifference. Justin and his team took control of the situation and we...re ultimately successful with their outstanding efforts. They meticulously constructed the history and timeline of the claim based upon documentary support. Previous case law was included in the appeal. II would recommend Justin and his organization without any hesitation.

Mr. Frankel is an excellent advocate to assist me with the Disability process.

I was destroyed by multiple medical problems and had no idea where to turn. I came across Justin Frankel and his partner by internet and by local referral. I was immediately pleased with his caring phone calls, emails, and informative instructions on the nature of the laws of disability and in the ...proper ways for me to work with my insurance company. Basically I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of paperwork and detailed and difficult questions and I needed a go between being severely ill and trying to deal with the quagmire of strangely worded questions, and forms. Mr. Frankel and his staff have been consistently open, honest, helpful, and took charge in being my advocate. This process was unbelievably long, complicated, and even with a successful appeal this did not stop the onslaught of forms, refusals, delays, and demands from the insurance company. Mr. Frankel and his staff were absolutely friendly, able, reduced my fears and stress, and took charge in fighting for me . I could not have possibly done this on my own.. My case is straight forward and clearly with multiple medical problems clearly and easily documented in the records and by my own physicians . However repeated delays, and denials were extremely frustrating. I am so amazingly glad I have chosen to work with this firm. I am so pleased to recommend Mr Frankel and his wonderful staff. Thank you so very much.

Disability Benefits

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.
