This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very honest and self-less in helping me

I contacted Jose when he worked for another firm a couple years ago. He understood the dire and time sensitive situation I was in. He was honest and up front with me that taking my case on such short notice, while he would do his best, he cannot commit as many resources as he would like given the sho...rt turn around time and the other cases on his plate. Having said that, he said he would take my case, but just wanted me to be aware that he might not be able to do the job 100% like he would normally do. But he also referred me to another disability lawyer in case I wanted someone who could dedicate more time to my case. Ultimately, I chose to go with the other lawyer he referred me to because I wanted a lawyer who could dedicate his full attention to my case. And I successfully won my disability appeal. So it is clear that Jose had no ego in referring me to another very good lawyer. I really appreciated Jose's honesty and up front nature. And the amount of time he spent helping me even though he got nothing out of it. If Jose says he can take your case, you can be assured he will dedicate the proper amount of attention unless he tells you otherwise.

Based on the outcome, I would make the same referral again! Im very glad things worked out so well for you, and was happy to help. The most important thing is that the client wins!

Great Help at a Difficult Time!

Reviewing policies these days is too difficult and could be really costly, so we were referred to Joe-- and he was great. It really helped to understand where we are and what we need to do.

Very Impressed With Disability Consult

I am 53 and have suffered back issues and surgeries for 24 years. I am at the point in life where I can't take much more day to day pain. In researching about long term disability I realized this is not a "game" the average person should play alone. Honestly I did not want to spend money as I have sp...ent thousands on medical bills this year alone. Mr. Caballe made me feel comfortable from the start of the conversation. It was encouraged that my wife participate and he included her throughout the conversation. He pointed out so many areas that I never would have thought about or considered regarding the process of filing and collection LTD. How Social Security most likely will become part of the process and the fact that I do not have to totally stop living to be considered disabled, and ways to handle that. He also told me that I most likely will have additional questions after our meeting and to feel free to call or email him and he will respond. This single outreach says to me that it is about the client and not just the money. He treated us the way both my wife and I treat people. If I need to move forward with a disability claim, I only have one phone call to make and that is comforting.

Recent review of a disability claim

Jose spent time with me recently going over details of a DI claim with the insurance company sponsored by my employer. Very thorough with the review and offered candid advice about how to structure conversations and correspondence with the insurance company. Would definitely recommend Jose for clie...nts in search of ideas to navigate a DI claim.

Request for information from Jose Caballe on Aetna-LTD claim

Mr Caballe has provided valuable assistance and insights to me on a long-term disability claim I have with Aetna Insurance. I have discussed with him on two occasions (Mar'14 & Apr'15) some issues I faced with the insurance benefits manager and my physician. Mr Caballe gave me excellent information o...n the process and was very generous with his time and expertise. I would strongly recommend him for counsel on disability matters. He is very personable and knowledgable.
