Fighting the insurance giants? This is your attorney.

When choosing an attorney, one is literally putting one’s life in their hands. There is so much at stake and I was lucky enough to find the best attorney on the first go around. There are two main character traits that any potential client is looking for in an attorney, integrity and dedication. ... John definitely is all that, but he is also bright, experienced, engaging, and will defend his clients with honesty and hard work But what sets him apart is that he is as good of a person as he is an attorney. His skill and hard work is surpassed only by his modesty and kindness. My case entailed taking on one of the big insurance companies that have their own agenda for rejecting legitimate claims. After a life altering eye trauma ended my career, Unum was on track to terminate my benefits. I did not know where to turn. I believe divine providence led me to John. Immediately I felt connected and reassured knowing my case was in the hands of someone who was experienced and confident. When Unum requested an IME John walked me through what to expect. He found and matched expert for Unum’s “expert,” going toe to toe refuting Unum’s claims. He effectively critiqued their hired “professional.” Essentially, he went to court on paper, producing a 191 page case file. Due to his skill and legal expertise we prevailed and circumvented the expensive trial process. It was one of the most emotional moments of my life, and I will never forget receiving the phone call from John informing me that we had won the appeal. His insight of the law makes him not just an attorney, to me he is a hero. I feel blessed to have had him as my counselor. I highly recommend John Conway for representation in any matter concerning disability insurance. I could not have asked for better representation during a very difficult time in my life. His knowledge, expertise and compassion make him the ONLY choice. Deborah Schneider

Expert in his field, we chose the best

We were very fortunate to find JJ Conway to handle our very complicated pension appeal case. From the first conference to the final positive outcome we found JJ to respond quickly, kept us up to date, and gave clear advice to help with decisions going forward. He is a very friendly and caring indiv...idual, and puts forth a professional demeanor at all times. In addition, JJ is very patient, which in our case proved to be the key that resulted in a positive outcome. Financially our case was very small, but he made the decision to take on the case knowing our only option would be expert assistance in unraveling the complications. We were very satisfied with communication, outcome, and were impressed with how thorough JJ and his staff were in handling this case. Without hesitation, we would recommend this law firm.
