I am very impressed with Justin and his assistant Christina. They were professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, confident and thorough. It was so easy to get in touch with them. I never had to wait to get questions answered. Justin was brilliant. I was facing a situation of having to appeal for l...ong term disability benefits from an insurance company I had a policy with as part of my benefit package from work. Long story short, It was obvious that they would deny me no matter what because it seems they have a corrupt law backing them called the ERISA act. This act makes it very easy for them to not honor the claim. I had multiple doctors saying I wasn't able to work and I can rarely even leave my house anymore from pain. Luckily I found Justin. I have never had such an advocate. He understands chronic pain. I'm a RN, and I kid you not, He understood the effect it had on my life better than any doctor I have talked too. He was worth every penny. His appeal just completely out gunned anything they had for reasons to deny the claim. It was thorough and legit and an honest and accurate depiction of not only my health, but there dishonest practices. You can tell this is not his first rodeo. He is confident in such matters as mine. He definitely kept them honest. I found that if you try and appeal yourself you will be quickly denied and kicked to the curb. Justin was the great equalizer. He didn't didn't let that happen. What a burden lifted off my chest. I'm truly suffering, but to be able to now pay my bills and afford to receive medical treatment changed my life. Hopefully I can find a solution and be able to work again one day. I would recommend him to anyone who is being denied long term disability benefits. He and his staff are second to none. Thank you once again Justin for being my gifted advocate. And thank you Christina for assisting me through the process. I couldn't have done it with out you.

When my LTD payments were terminated, I didn't know what would happen to me, or to my house, car, etc. Right away I began searching for an appropriate attorney in this very specialized area of law. Justin's web site was the most outstanding one out there, with lots of helpful info - it really sho...wed his firm was exactly what I needed. After talking to Justin on the phone twice, I hired him right away. I never regretted it for one minute. Justin and his staff, particularly his paralegal Kathleen were top notch, not only in knowledge but in helping me through the long appeals process. They made the process easy for me, and I can't thank them enough. We won! The documents Justin and Kathleen wrote were very complete, incredibly well written, and have I said we won! If you have a LTD case of any kind I would highly recommend Frankel and Newfield. I can't say enough good things about the firm. I would certainly send my family members and friends to Justin if they needed this very special type of legal advice!

Justin Frankel and his team represented me exceptionally and exceedingly well on my LTD case. He and his team go the extra mile with their legal experience to navigate through the pitfalls and mazes of LTD claims and appeals. He is caring, considerate and a good person. His breath of experience w...as most helpful. Justin’s fact gathering, documentation and representation helped me tremendously. Not to use him or use another attorney would have been my mistake. While the insurance company tried to find loop holes to disqualify my claim, Justin successfully found merit in my claim. Without him and his team the insurance company would have beaten me down more along with my disability. In my search he was referenced by other attorneys who said they would use him if needed. Enough said!

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.
