For EIRSA Disability Claims - Bartolic Law is the one you want at the table with you.
Michael Bartolic and Chesslyn Litke were truly instrumental during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I had been hospitalized, forced onto medical leave from work, and deeply worried about my financial and personal future. From the very beginning, Michael and the entire team acted swiftly ...
"Michael Bartolic is my "go to" referral for ERISA issues and anything related to employee benefits. He is a great lawyer and an even better guy. Absolutely top notch attorney."
"Michael is a widely respected, zealous advocate on behalf of individuals who have wrongfully had their disability benefits terminated or denied. He is knowledgeable, active in a number of professional organizations devoted to the development of employee benefits law, and creatively develops strategies to help his clients prevail on their claim. He is also an excellent professional colleague who has always been a valuable resource to me."
"Michael and I recently joined our practices but before that I knew him by his reputation and his excellent work product in the ERISA legal community. MIchael is a zealous advocate and he's in this line of work because he genuinely wants to help people find financial security through employee benefits."
