William Sydney Coffman Jr.

I had been denied by my employer's Short Term Disability insurer (Cigna) for coverage and my appeal was denied as well. This was due to the rare nature of my disability. Instead of focusing on my health and trying to find a way to get better, I was spending way too much time and effort doing work for..., and fighting with, the insurance company. Mr. Coffman and his team were a lifesaver. His knowledge and guidance were exactly what we needed. He and his staff took the time to explain things I didn't understand and really took charge. They were very empathetic and did a fantastic job dealing with the insurance company and fighting for me. They were very proactive as well in anticipating things that the insurance company might do or ask for. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and team to work with. They were able to get the STD and LTD benefits for me that we needed. We are so happy and grateful to Mr. Coffman and his team for their hard work, compassion, and professionalism. Should my disability condition not improve prior to my LTD benefits running out, we will certainly go back to Coffman Law to try and get an extension.

After being denied benefits owed to me, and other attorneys that promised to help, but did not, I was fortunate enough to find Mr. Coffman and his wonderful staff. Mr. Coffman, David, Denae, and Tiffany worked long and hard to fight my battles for me. Extremely knowledgeable, and competent, they trea...ted me like family and went over and above for me. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend this firm.

I had my LTD Benefits denied two previous times before I hired Coffman Law so I knew I had to have the best on my last Appeal to a Large Disability Insurance Co. Coffman Law Cares & were recommended to me by one of the most reputable firm in Jax., FL. They handled my case with empathy, provided a tea...m of specialists in the Disability Processes, ensured any critical medical documentation was prepared & supporting documents were obtained. Since Coffman Law has been representing clients who have been denied benefits for many years, with a impressive success rate, the commercial Disability Carriers recognize their name & are aware of their outstanding reputation. They were successful in my case, my benefits were reinstated & my backpay was paid promptly. I highly recommend Attorney Coffman & his entire staff at Coffman Law!

Coffman Law was OUTSTANDING! It was a true pleasure to deal with such a professional staff. I have had worked with another law firm that never returned phone calls and asked me to send them paperwork. Coffman law did all the leg work and just kept me informed. Mr. Coffman spoke with me and went o...ver my options and how he would handle this case and what to expect. He handled my case in a timely manner and the end result was what he said he it would be. I am so thankful for Mr. Coffman and his staff, they are truly a great law firm!

Handled ERISA matter against a major LTD Insurer. We decided to settle over the difficult law which I was a little upset by, but think was the right decision. I missed some deadline, and think law favors insurers over the insured. He was knowledgable in a field that I hear not many attys will ...handle. Insurance company took advantage of my statement of appeal being verbal. Put yours in writing! The only reason he didnt get 5 stars all the way is he missed my mentioning that I had them email me a rejection letter (as I was in disbelief after they long before told me that I should be approved from the start... this was 8 months later when they were supposed to respond quickly yet had 6 months to respond. Before realizing there was a hard date of reciept (as they never sent a certified letter) he was confident we would win full value. So was surprised later when he went over fine details and saw. In all reality, I only mentioned it one second in much conversation so only a little disappointed, and it was early on when other details were the focus. I still like him and was glad he told me the options at that point, a d was honest that win or loss may well depend on what judge would be assigned due to the technicality. So, it didnt go perfectly, but I would have gotten nothing without him, and would have felt taken advantage of by insurance more fully than in they end where I got a sixth of total possible value (2 yrs backpay which equaled about 1 yrs full salary) -after- the portion that went to pay atty. it became an issue of date of reciept and I waited a few too many days before I worked up the courage to call a lawyer. He said there was a chance we coule win anyways due to my disabilites making me gullible and it being in a close timeframe and this or that, but I was broke and while tempted to gamble, it was important to not risk loosing at that time.
