Stephen Francis Jessup

I consulted with Mr. Jessup, very worried about a loved one's case. He assured me multiple times that we were likely to prevail on our own. While he clearly knew his stuff, Mr. Jessup explained the issues and his opinion very effortlessly and clearly. He was kind and set my mind at ease...and he was ...also right! We will not forget his kindness.

When Mr Jessup got involved in my case against Lincoln, things turned around dramatically! The former attorney had accomplished nothing in well over a year. Once he took over the case, we were settled in less than 3 months. He worked very hard to get the best settlement and seemed genuine and sincer...e in his job and looking out for my best interest. I would definitely recommend him.

Overall, It was a great experience to work with Stephen. He and Michal were very helpful throughout the process. The fee was reasonable and they paid me fast after my case got resolved. I hired another lawyer before him and spent lots of money since it was hourly base. However, I did not get the resu...lt. I did some researches and Stephen was able to accept my as a % based client and get the result done.

I contacted Steve after my LTD provider (Prudential) terminated my coverage. I wasn't sure what to do. My livelihood was more than cut in half. I did a search for law firms that represented clients that had their disability payments terminated. I contacted Steve's firm. He was assigned to the case. ... After speaking with Steve I was confident he was the one to hire to go after the provider. Through the process of data gathering, physician statements, statements from friends and family, Steve put together a presentation that was very solid and the provider resumed the coverage after 8 (eight) months. They also made it retroactive so I received the monies I should have received. In June of 2015 Prudential again terminated my coverage. I received notice of this termination which violated the agreement of all communication about my case to be sent to Steve first. I had to inform Steve of Prudential's action. Needless to say he was not please that they went around him. I went 9 (nine) months this time with Steve compiling additional data from the time between the last termination and this one. The provider conducted surveillance on me in an attempt to "catch me" doing things I can not do. Prudential asked for an extension to their investigation time which Steve granted. Then they asked for even more time after an independent medical exam was ordered by Prudential. As a result of the opinion of the physician and the extensive case Steve and his team built, my benefits were again reinstated. That is twice Steve and his team have confronted Prudential with the facts and beat the attempt to terminate my coverage. If you are looking for an attorney that not only talks the talk but also walks the walk, hire Steve. He will get the job done for you. I am very glad I was able to find and work with Steve. He and his team will do whatever it takes to get you what you deserve.

Since day one I continue to have a very positive experience working with the Dell & Schaefer Law Firm. I am especially grateful to attorney Stephen Jessup who was assigned to my case in early 2010. Steven Jessup and Anneli (Registered Paralegal) are always available and very professional in managing... my case in a timely manner. Steven explained the entire (LTD) process to me from day one when I became disabled and unable to work due to my disabilities and had my case approved very quick working with my LTD carrier. My health has worsened since then with a life threatening disease and several surgeries / conditions later. He always answers all of my questions in a timely manner and always has a positive outcome for me. I feel highly represented & grateful with Steve as my LTD attorney which enables me to take care of my health to the best of my abilities without worries. Steve, I sincerely appreciate all you and Dell & Schaefer have accomplished for me from day one in representing me regarding my case in a very quick and timely manner. I would “most definitely recommend” Attorneys Dell & Schaefer to anyone in dire need of the best in legal representation & counseling in short & long term disability cases.”
