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.

Jason and his team are phenomenal. From the very beginning, we were appreciative and impressed with his candor, efficiency, empathy, and expertise. It was a long and grueling journey, and Jason was with us every step of the way. He was extremely familiar with our case and with the medical conditions ...in a way that let us know that our case and our family was a priority. He was confident in his legal strategy, and showed at every contact that he was ready to fight until the decision was a favorable one. We felt well attended and taken seriously. We never felt rushed, dismissed, placated, or ignored. We would absolutely hire and recommend Jason ten times over. Thank you, Jason!

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.

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.
