Excellent, dilligent, communicative attorney
I do not know what I would have done without Mr. Toledano's help. He has recouped tens of thousands for me from my insurer. I strongly recommend his services. He is a great lawyer.

Forever grateful that Reagan handled my case!!!
The most important job for an attorney, in my opinion, is to make things happen. Reagan got requests for documents out immediately upon taking my case. He quickly evaluated what took place on my claim prior to the cessation of benefits by The Hartford. I became an injury claim/liability insurance adjuster in 1988, so I thought I understood the claims process. I’ve learned that ERISA cases are different, and thankfully Reagan was there to develop the evidence necessary to win my appeal. I was referred to Reagan by another attorney, who recognized his expertise in this area. I am forever grateful for all the time, energy, and hard-work, that he put into my case. After having suffered without disability income (from a policy I helped pay for), Reagan won my appeal!!! Sherri

Earned My Trust
I didn’t think I would need sn attorney after 10 years on disability but I did. I was out there floating alone and fighting the battle for the wrongful termination of my benefits. I encountered some who wouldn’t look at the case because there wasn’t enough fat on the bone but yet it was my means of survival that was taken from me. I found 3 firms interested in my case. After speaking with them, my choice was clear. Reagan was clearly where I needed to put my faith. He actually reviewed the case before accepting it, he didn’t give me false hope but clearly believed in the case. Today, we prevailed with my claim reinstated. It took a huge toll on my life but to regain some of the financial burden helps. Reagan and Kim were a great team to work with and they earned something very valuable, my trust.

Denial of LTD Claim
Reagan Toledano is an excellent attorney that is very knowledgeable with helping people fight denial of LTD claims. I was one of those denied. I made contact with Reagan. He explained that he could help me fight the denial and that my case was good. He was always receptive to questions and explained in terms I could understand. He won my legitimate claim, and I am so grateful to him. I 100% recommend him if you are in need as I was.

EXCELLENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND COMPETENT ATTORNEY
REAGAN TOLEDANO There could not have been a better attorney I could have chosen in order to get a big part of my life back. Having just gone through two Hurricanes, losing everything, then getting disability, then having it taken away, can be very stressful, and depressing. Mr. Toledano was the name given to me by a local law firm, the best person that could have come into my life. He specializes in disability cases as I understand and he took my appeal, knew exactly how to handle it and my disability was reinstated. I would advise anyone with a disability issue to contact Mr. Toledano. When I called him for the first time, he was even on vacation, but he still wanted to talk, that made me think how professional he was. Best Attorney Ever

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Attorney Toledano. After getting severely ill from a post viral condition, in 2019, I was denied my LTD benefits, twice. I researched an ERISA Attorney and (I was already weary on Lawyers in general) found great reviews on him. I was skeptical, as I live in Massachusetts, which is far from New Orleans, but Reagan made the process super easy. The one thing that I like most about Attorney Toledano, is that we work together as a team. He is super personal and empathic. He got me approved for my LTD benefits and retro-active payments as well. Reagan, is super professional without a big lawyer "ego." We continue to navigate the complexities of the Insurance World, but I couldn't do it with anybody else. Again, I can't reiterate enough how much a fabulous Attorney Reagan Toledano really is.

Hire an experienced professional
We worked with Reagan Toledano after my husband was abruptly terminated from his employee sponsored disability benefits and life insurance continuance benefits. At the time of our first meeting, Reagan was professional, empathetic, and straight forward. His previous experience and knowledge of the law made us comfortable with our decision to contact him. Because of his commitment to the law, my husband's disability and life insurance was reinstated. After my husband's death, he was an amazing guide to help me through the next hurdle, my husband's life insurance benefits. He was available to me in times of stress and uncertainty, thoroughly researched case law and worked long hours for the best outcome possible for me and my family. I am so grateful we chose Reagan Toledano to represent us because the outcome with his help has been life changing for me and my family.

I give my highest recommendation to Mr. Reagan Toledano. From the first communication to the last, he has been the most professional and competent attorney one could want. His is very astute, discerning and wise only exceeded by his integrity. He was able to provide advocacy and compassion to me in a difficult life-changing situation and got the highest settlement possible. I feel that I have also found a friend for life - not just for a pay check. Look no further...

I owe my livelihood, future ability to provide for myself and peace of mind to Reagan Toledano.
Mr. Toledano took my case when I came to him as a 20 something year old, having been denied LTD by my employer's insurer. When I came to Reagan I was unable to work, in my 20s, with a very complex, rarely known or diagnosed illness. I didn’t fully understand at the time just how grately the cards were stacked against me and my case. I now have a better understanding that with a very unknown complex illness and being in my 20s the likelihood of winning my appeal and being awarded disability benefits was slim and almost impossible. Nevertheless, Mr. Toledano took a chance, and took my case, working tirelessly for nearly a year to get me the benefits I deserved. Mr. Toledano is extremely knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to National disability insurers and ERISA claims,with a demonstrated and proven track record in knowing which issues to target to produce a favorable outcome for claimants. He was very knowledgeable in knowing what specific medical information would prove most vital to my case during the appeals process. He advised on what information strengthened my case the most and provided detailed instructions and assistance on exactly how to acquire such documentation from family, friends, employers and physicians. Mr. Toledano presented issues that were most important and pertinent to my case, more so than I had even considered and he knew how to navigate the administrative side of filing and appealing a disability claim. Reagan was ultimately successful in presenting my case and appeal to Metlife. Mr. Toledano and staff partnered with me and treated me with such kindness and respect, always returning phone calls in a timely manner, even calling some evenings after hours to answer my questions and assist with documentation, and quickly replying to email, providing thorough detailed information for any and all questions I had. I’d recommend Willeford & Toledano to anyone struggling with obtaining Long Term Disability benefits or with an ERISA claim. More specifically,I’d recommend Reagan Toledano and his legal expertise to anyone with a disability claim. There aren’t enough words to explain how vital Reagan’s expertise and knowledge were in the positive outcome for my case and being awarded disability benefits upon appeal with Metlife. I recommend him to anyone who needs a caring, professional and thorough attorney on their side as they navigate their disability claim.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
It took over two long years and prior attorneys, but Reagan won my case! Previous attorneys told me they could help with my “long term disability claim.” Needless to say, all of their promises failed. Reagan wasn’t concerned about going against two of the largest insurance firms in the industry. He explained this was going to be a fight, but felt I was wronged. His knowledge of the disability insurance laws are impressive. Reagan is very articulate and NEVER missed a deadline. He called with updates, and NOT his assistant. He explained the steps and details, so I could understand those. My only regret, is that I didn’t know or use him from the beginning. I highly recommend you give Reagan and his firm a call from the beginning!

Friggin awesome
He is what was best for me and wasnt just chasing the money for himself. He literally saved my life. I've [unfortunally] had to work with quite a few lawyers & have several lawyers as family friends. Without a doubt he stands in a class on his own. I studied before I chose a lawyer. I live in indiana & chose him from way down there. It was best decision I've made since picking steak for dinner. He stays in touch with you, correlates a game plan with you, and generally knows his stuff in a field many lawyers are scared to even broach. Hes been in the field and knows the judges whom work these cases. He is the Michael Jordan of his field. How many times can you say you know a lawyer with a heart? No matter where you live, hire him if you need a lawyer for his field. What else can I say about a man who is a certifiable bad a##? Just "Thank you. I dont think you'll know how much you've helped and truly saved my life. I hope to genuinely stay in touch and try to get your assistance on matters in the future in which you may help. Thank you thank you thank you BROTHER!"

Mr. Taledano was the best attorney that I have ever had the privilege to have worked with. He treated me like a person and was always informed about my case. He was honest and fought for me when most would have just given up. If you want someone who is honest and will fight for you then Mr. Taledano is the attorney for you.

Happy
I highly recommend Reagan Toledano. I had to file a disability claim, a benefit provided by my employer. Before I received the first denial letter, I consulted with an attorney who didn’t return phone calls and seemed not to be interested, so I made the mistake of trying to fight the insurance company myself. They kept blowing me off and after receiving the final denial letter I didn’t think any attorney would accept the challenge of cleaning up my mess. But being determined, I contacted Mr. Toledano. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. After years of difficult times, I felt comfort after our first conversation. It was very obvious he knew what he was doing. He accepted my case, quickly moved it through despite the pandemic, and I am very happy with the results. I give him 5 stars.
