Stephen Francis Jessup

I must say, words can’t express my inner-feelings for the fabulous job that Dell & Schaefer firm have done for me. I was so impress with the outline of my disability appeal, it was totally organized. Dell & Schaefer, keep me abreast with the entire proceedings. To have a attorney that has your intere...st at heart is a phenomenal thing. Dell & Schaefer, was referred to me by a friend. It was a true blessing. I would return a favor, by referring Dell & Schaefer, to anyone that needs a attorney. Thank You, Dell & Schaefer and Stephen Jessup, for being there in my time of need.

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.

My experience with Dell & Schaefer and Attorney Stephen Jessup was absolutely stress free. Everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. They made sure that everything was communicated and explained to me and they collected all the paper work necessary to process my appeal. I am ver...y thankful that Dell & Schaefer was referred to me and I am grateful for their expertise.

I have been a client of Stephen Jessup since early last year and have to say he’s an amazing attorney whose direct approach and attention to detail are second to none. My case presents a difficult challenge in that we have to manage my LTD policy, workers compensation, and SSDI all together. Attorney... Jessup has been able to guide me through all the intricacies of all three and has gone out of his way to do so, even in dealing with workers compensation and SSDI, although he is not required to do so. He doesn’t embellish or overstate what he can do for you. I have never had an email go unanswered or an attorney conference call cancelled. His compassion and understanding about your situation and condition are genuine. He listens to all your concerns and never will respond with empty rhetoric or lip service. And let’s not forget Anneli De Cardenas, who is definitely a big part of Dell and Schaefer. She has been terrific to deal with and has been very empathetic regarding my case. Dealing with the insurance company by yourself is not only stressful but also not recommended; since Dell and Schaefer have started managing my LTD policy, I have felt a tremendous sense of relief because they are always on the ball and I trust that they are handling it effectively. I have the utmost gratitude to Stephen Jessup and Dell and Schafer for everything they have done for my case.

I was referred to Dell & Schaefer thru a network group of top clinicians who gave them a very positive recommendation. I was not disappointed. Dell and Schaefer’s organization, confidence and direction proved invaluable during a very frustrating and emotional period. We were fortunate to get them onb...oard at onset of my medical problems, and their help was pivotal as the demands of my illness and the claims procedure became very challenging. I can’t say enough positive things about Stephen Jessup and the many valuable members of their team. They possess unique knowledge and experience critical for success in this field, and demonstrate a sincere commitment to success for their client. These are highly skilled professionals who provided outstanding guidance and personal support through the processing and management of my professional disability insurance claim.
