Jason Adam Newfield

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 is a great attorney. I'm a physician and he helped me navigate the muddy waters of disability claims. I had own-occupational disability insurance. My family's financial security was at risk from my disease and he was able to get me approved on my claim. After about the first five minutes of... our first phone call, I new he would be my guy. He took me step by step through the claims process. How to organize your medical records, request certain forms from doctors, and how to draft an own occupation job description. It's important for other's to know, since you are filing with giant insurance companies, Jason can represent you even if you are far away from him. Remember, it may cost some $ to hire an attorney, but you have a ton more to loose if your sick, can't work and can't get the resources that are owed to you, I will continue to work with him and have zero reservations of recommending him to anyone.

Jason Newfield is an experienced lawyer who will fight for you, when you can not. When my medical evidence was staring my insurance company right in the face, they still declined my case. I am so fortunate that I chose Jason Newfield to represent me. He won. He knows the details of a policy, and ...explains them in easy to understand terms. He has guided me from the difficult process of having a claim finally approved, through the years of stinging inquiries following approval from my insurance company and all the way through a life changing settlement offer. During the time of my claim I needed to be protected from my insurance company, these companies put profits before people. I can not say for sure that having Jason watch over me was a factor in my insurance company offering a lump sum settlement, but I would not be surprised. Jason not only secured the offer, but had my insurance company increase their buyout offer by an outstanding percentage, and pay me every dime that my benefit was required to pay me. I was able to take care of my family and now my family has the door of opportunity open to us. Saying Thank You Jason Newfield is just an understatement.

I have the pleasure of writing a 5 STAR positive review for disability benefits attorney Jason Newfield. Jason takes being a professional very seriously and with pride. I am a 61 yo dentist who has a broken shoulder from a ski accident in 2012. Its been a slowly degenerating problem since then and... although I had been reluctant to start a claim, and the hassles that go with it, I felt entitled to the benefits so pursued a claim in 2015. About 18 months ago I was referred to Jason by the insurance agent who sold me the policy 30 years ago. My insurance company, Mass Casualty, threw as many obstacles at this claim as they could. Jason predicted how they would react after every communication and advised me of my options along the way. He led me step by step. He also has a very good understanding of accounting which I realized is necessary as tax returns and profit and loss statements need to be analyzed. Most importantly he wasn't hesitant to make knowledgeable recommendations reflecting my desires. He answered questions I didn't think about. Jason's has a no nonsense approach. He is friendly but doesn't waste legal fee time with "chit chat" as he likes to get right to the point and his billing is surprisingly accurate........ Last month my claim was settled. I was ready to accept the second offer but Jason advised to hold out and in 2 days I was given a third offer and an additional 15%. It's hard to judge what reasonable and fair compensation is for a partial disability but I got more than what I thought I might. I've never written a review before on social media and I deal with a lot of professionals. When I left Jason's office with the claim check I shook his hand and said how unusual it is for me to be satisfied with professional services. I have high expectations. Thanks Jason for compelling me to want to write this review.

I was referred to Jason Newfield after having my LTD claim rejected by my insurance company. After careful consideration, I hired Mr. Newfield to handle my appeal for a very reasonable flat fee. I refer to the fee as reasonable after seeing what his team drafted for my insurance company. He put toget...her the most comprehensive package I could have hoped for with a very methodical yet personal process. We were successful due to his due diligence and he continues to manage my insurance company with ongoing success. I would also note that hiring an attorney can be overwhelming, however, my experience with Jason Newfield has been very positive. I find him to be forthcoming, fair, honest, and hardworking. I would be happy to be a reference for this attorney.
