LDT Success Story

Coffman Law got the job done without any hassles and their staff is so helpful and friendly I actually enjoyed calling them!

Short/Long Term Disability

If you are having a bad experience while getting or trying to get disability, seek advice from lawyer specializing in disability. I did my homework and it was clear that Coffman Law is the best out there! He has many cases with a successful outcome and the best thing is that he can litigate your case... as well. I called him, hired him, he set up everything, and he will lay out your options. I chose an option, and had a successful outcome. Don't let insurance companies dictate and deny your benefits. Call Coffman Law!!

Great Attorney to represent you. Highly Recommended!!!

I cannot thank enough Coffman Law for assisting me in getting my benefits when my insurance company continue to deny them over and over even with proof of my of my disability and me submitting to the all my info. Mr. Coffman and his staff are very knowledgeable and are real people with empathy to y...our cause. They each have been through something and know what it is to be denied your rights especially when it comes to disability. They were always in communication with me via phone or email and kept me up to date with everything that was going on with my case. Most importantly their professionalism, expertise and their willingness to fight for you is what is I admire most because they also made me feel like family. I would recommend them to anyone who is being denied their benefits because this firm and their staff will go all out for you in representing you against the insurances that are practicing bad faith against you and your disability. Thank you soo much Coffman Law and may God bless you all!

Best team in Florida!

Coffman Law was the right choice for me,and I strongly believe that they are the only choice for anyone seeking help when dealing with an insurance company regarding Short Term/Long Term disability. I did a lot of research in advance and found Coffman Law to be the clear choice. I highly recommend ...them! After contacting Coffman Law with a very challenging case, Mr Coffman and his team got right to work. I felt that a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Mr Coffman explained each step of the process in detail to me. Every question and phone call I made to Coffman Law was met with courteous and knowledgeable answers in a very timely manor, if not immediately. I felt like the team truly cared about me, and that like I was their only client and top priority at all times. I cannot say enough good things about the entire team. Mr Coffman personally handles all cases....... and he knows his stuff! He is Extremely passionate about winning. Mr Coffman will fight with everything he has to win your case. I have never felt like I was in more capable hands. Thank you to Mr Coffman and the team at Coffman law!

"I endorse this lawyer. Bill Coffman is an excellent attorney. There are not many attorneys who handle ERISA claims. I have referred many clients who need help getting their short term or long term disability benefits. He always returns their calls and answer their questions. He has helped people throughout the entire State of Florida. I would highly recommend Mr. Coffman."
