"Regardless of my clients’ illness, whether it be degenerative disc disorder, deep vein thrombosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, GERD/IBS-related disorders, chemical sensitivity, Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, pain is usually the barrier to returning to work. As pain does not show up on an x-ray, insurance carriers unfairly attack such claims by questioning my clients’ impaired functionality due to the alleged lack of ‘objective medical evidence.’”
“The other barrier to employment is the unpredictability of my clients’ symptoms. Whether the condition is a pain syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, cardiac related, Meniere’s Disease, HIV/AIDS, bipolar disorder or Major Depression, individuals that suffer from medical issues cannot usually predict when they will be debilitated by their symptoms. When the insurance carriers unfairly point to surveillance video in which they captured my client at the supermarket on one particular day, they fail to recognize that such outing does not reflect consistent functionality on which my client can rely to get through a work week, or the likelihood that my client took several types of medication just to make that outing on that particular day.”

Sleepless Nights
I spent 3 years and many sleepless nights trying to find an attorney to take my long term disability case against a ruthless insurance company. I had to tell my story over and over to probably 12 or more attorneys and I was mad and frustrated. It wasn’t a big case and none of them could be bothered a...

Excellent Attorney
Carrie Feit handled my Short and Long Term Disability from my Employer, when all the other lawyers gave up and didn’t believe in me or want to fight the Insurance Company.
