Disability Expertise

I found Jason Newfield through an internet search for disability lawyers after my initial claim was denied. I spoke to a few disability attorney's but he seemed the most knowledgeable and hands-on (working the case directly versus passing on to junior counsel). He was very thoughtful and professional... and most importantly, was able to successfully resolve the claim. I would highly recommend him for disability issues if you have a similar need.

Outstanding job

Jason Newfield did an outstanding job with my case. I have multiple comorbidities that prevent me from doing my job. I am treated by multiple physicians. In addition I had an array of diagnostic procedures, treatments and surgery. What Jason did was he assisted me in the process of pulling the entire... case together. To be honest I could not have done this without Jason’s compassionate and efficient assistance. I am forever grateful for his help! I highly recommend Jason Newfield and his very caring staff for anyone who is going through a disability case.

Reinstatement of Disability Benefits

As a result of my disability claim with Cigna being terminated I needed to file an appeal to get it restored. After some research on which firm would best handle this case, I emailed Frankel and Newfield, P. C. With a brief description of my case. Within minutes of sending the email I received a c...all from Jason Newfield. Mr. Newfield was able to answer all my questions and informed me I had a very strong case. As a result of our very informative and cordial call, I decided to hire Mr. Newfield’s firm to file the appeal. Mr. Newfield and his Senior Paralegal “Christina Murray” were amazing dealing with Cigna. They took complete charge of my case and walked me through everything from start to finish and the end result was full restoration of my benefits. I highly recommend their firm!

Hands down, best attorney that has ever represented me

Attorney Newfield is a highly dedicated and committed attorney. His professionalism and strong knowledge in the areas of disability insurance claims, were key in the successful handling of my disability claim, were others had failed. Attorney Newfield, is second to none! He was extremely down to eart...h friendly, courteous and responsive to my disability claim needs. One thing about attorney Newfield that makes him stand out from other attorneys, is the fact that attorney Newfield calls you himself on a regular basis giving you case updates. I found this to be refreshing and amazing that he takes time out of his busy day to keep you informed. Attorney Jason Adam Newfield not only puts his client’s interests first, but also gives you a unique and personal service which is unheard for the most part from my experience. Attorney Newfield is an amazing attorney. It is without hesitation that I give Mr Newfield an A+ rating. I cannot thank him enough for the result he obtained in such a short amount of time on my claim!!.

The Best Disability Lawyer in the country!

If you are forced with filing a disability claim, take my advice and call Jason Newfield before you even file the claim. The insurance company is not on your side and Jason's knowledge, experience and commitment will result in a more favorable outcome. I unfortunately learned this lesson the hard w...ay and it caused unnecessary stress for myself and my family. I am grateful to have had another professional recommend Jason Newfield as he was able to resolve my case in a fair, reasonable and timely manner. I have the upmost confidence and respect for Jason Newfield as he exemplifies the term "super lawyer." I would give him 5 STARS and a PERFECT 10 score!

Litigation lawyer | Jul 24

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Jason and I have opposed each other in several litigations involving claims for disability insurance benefits under individual and group policies. Relatively speaking, there are few lawyers who practice in this "niche" area. Jason's significant experience was evident in each matter as he was well-versed in the applicable law and thoroughly familiar with the details of his client's claim. He was always well-prepared and persistent in trying to advance his client's interests."
