Jason Adam Newfield

I have worked with Jason Newfield for nearly two decades, and he has been extremely professional, thoughtful, serious, and empathic throughout. When my extended illness was imminently reaching the crisis stage after years of struggling at my job, I consulted with Jason about the disability process, a...nd he gave me tremendous help and advice in preparing the necessary documentation for my case, understanding my policy, and preparing myself realistically for the challenges involved. His deep experience about all aspects of a case like mine was a tremendous asset. When I was finally unable to continue working, Jason was incredibly prompt and compassionate and immediately responsive in helping me navigate my declaration of disability, and dealing with my employer and insurer. And in the decades since, he has been invaluable in, as his website says, “holding insurance companies to their promises”, through multiple periodic reviews. My life literally might have been very different if I had not been referred to Jason.

As a physician practicing for 30 years who loved my job it was very difficult for me to acknowledge I could no longer safely practice medicine and file for disability. I interviewed 4 disability attorneys as I did not feel equipped to handle this on my own. I chose Jason over the others because of ...his confidence and forthright manner. He was also very kind and understanding of my difficulties with the loss of my professional identity. I cannot emphasize how much I feel that I could not have done this without him. There were some issues with my claim that he easily helped me navigate ultimately leading to a successful claim. I had multiple physicians involved, more than one medical issue and a changing work/financial situation that he knew exactly how to manage. I highly recommend Jason. He has changed my life for the better. I am so impressed with him and grateful that he and I will be staying in touch.

I met Jason Newfield several years ago when my health changed and I needed to find legal representation in order to handle my disability claim. From the beginning I knew I had come to the right place. Jason and his entire legal team made me and my wife feel extremely comfortable and very confident in... their ability to guide us through this difficult and complex process in a warm and caring manner. My disability claim was successful thanks to Jason Newfield. There is no way I could have navigated through this process successfully on my own. Even more impressive is the fact that he and his team are there for me any time I have a question about my situation or whenever I need advice. I highly and without reservation recommend Jason Newfield and his fantastic team.

It became apparent that I was going to need legal representation when I was suddenly dropped from my company disability policy. I have been struggling with a chronic illness for years which has left me with physical and cognitive impairments. I found Jason online, and after an hour initial consultat...ion (which he didn’t charge for) we knew we had found the right lawyer. Jason is bold, straightforward, aggressive and an excellent resource for what is needed to file a proper appeal. Jason (and Christina) are both also very kind, and were flexible when we experienced the sudden loss of a family member. Jason and Christina got my disability reinstated , and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them both. I would strongly recommend Jason for anyone facing a similar situation -fantastic lawyer and also a great person.!

If you have had the terrible misfortune of being disabled by CFS/ME (and any of the co-occurring conditions - fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's, small cell fiber neuropathy, dysautonomia, etc.) you need to retain Jason. These conditions are sadly still viewed by many as "yuppie flu" type, subjective non-illn...esses. I can attest that they are nothing but. I was diagnosed with (eventually ALL of) these conditions. Prior to my diagnoses I owned my own law firm and worked up to 10-12 hours a day as a corporate insurance lawyer. The extreme pain, cognitive difficulties, severe fatigue and post-exertional malaise made it impossible for me work anymore. I felt like I was losing everything - my career, my income and my firm. I had a private disability insurance policy that denied coverage on every possible ground it could assert. Jason and his paralegal, Christina Murray, addressed every basis of denial, guided me as to the best way to document my disability, and worked with all of my doctors and my former law partner to overturn the insurance company's denial. They discredited the insurance company's "expert" physician, and found a true independent expert who successfully provided support for my case at a level I could afford. Jason and Christina successfully worked together in effectuating an internal reversal of my denial of benefits, in relatively short order, much to my immeasurable relief and gratitude. This means they convinced the insurance company to overturn its own prior decision! Jason and Christina were also responsive, available and consistently on top of my case. They were empathetic, and understood when I felt too ill to get something back to them in a timely fashion, or failed to return their call. However, what allowed me to stay grounded and hopeful during an incredibly stressful, difficult time in my life (in addition to the fact that I always was completely confident in their work and strategy), was that they believed me and in me. Anyone who suffers from the conditions that I do know this alone is priceless and necessary.
