Amazing representation!

I just finished reading the ERISA appeal you did for my husband. My chest was hurting as I read through every page, taking in all of the case law being used to justify the incorrect and unfair denial of his claim. It brought back how I felt each time I thought that I was helping, but really harming..., my husband's claim by appealing myself. If we had not attended a seminar in March recommended by the doctors at Loyola for Stroke and Brain Injury patients, I would be in a world of bewilderment. Plus the fact that an attorney at that seminar recommended Ben Glass to us. This is why your firm exists because of people like us who have no clue. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Wonderfully Responsive and Sagacious Attorney

Seeking urgent advice to help my daughter, who is no longer able to work and must file a disability claim, I was referred to Ben Glass Law and am fortunate to have had two consultations with Ben -- the first via telephone, and the second in person. Ben is an extraordinary man. At a loss how to pr...oceed, I first called his office after 5:00 PM on a Friday evening, and to my amazement he phoned me back that very night, even as he was packing for a spring-break family trip, to provide initial advice that prepared us to take some critical first steps. Talk about first impressions! Some weeks later, calling again for further guidance, my daughter and I were given an appointment a couple of days later, and spent over an hour with Ben, who provided us with insights across a range of issues -- from keeping a daily diary of symptoms and telling the disability insurers a detailed, honest story to maintaining one's own collection of medical records and ensuring the demonstration of accurate diagnoses. Many of these points are crucial to developing a case, but not at all obvious to laymen like us. Ben also walked us through the steps of applying for short-term and long-term disability and the options of engaging an attorney or proceeding on our own, including the risks, benefits, and costs involved. Still at an early stage in the process, we are so much better prepared for having Ben's advice, and so grateful for his knowledge, understanding, and decency. We have also found Sharon and the other members of his team to be engaging, helpful, and highly professional. This is a small, nimble, power-packed, and remarkably responsive law office -- I couldn't recommend them more highly!

So easy to talk with, so helpful

Ben was able to get back my daughter's LTD. The company had become difficult to talk with once they decided to stop it, but he succeeded. Since then, we have been able to talk with him if we have a question. Now he is helping with a tax firm which doesn't want to pay on their accuracy guarantee.

AMAZING

Mr. Glass has been a tremendous help with all of our LTD issues and concerns. He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure that you have all of the information and guidance you need. Above all, he makes you feel like family with his kindness and concern and is extremely ethical and profession...al in everything that he does for us. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Glass to anyone that has any LTD concerns. Lisa

Consultation for Field Visit – LTD – One Step Further …. !

After numerous attempts to confirm if I needed to have legal representation for a Field Visit for my Long Term Disability Claim and not getting anywhere with the Insurance Company – I called Ben Glass Law for help. The staff and Mr. Glass were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful on how to procee...d with my dilemma. My consultation and Field Visit took place at the office of Ben Glass Law. I am so thankful that my meeting with Mr. Glass prepared me for the Field Visit and I was able to get through this step in my Long Term Disability Claim. This was very difficult for me but Mr. Glass made me feel very comfortable and was very easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Ben Glass and his Law Firm !
