Mr. Guerrini is the lawyer that lawyers hire

Disability ended my 35 year career as an attorney, the last 24 years working for a major, multi-line insurance company. After the LTD insurance company discontinued my LTD benefits, I looked for the best attorney in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area to fight the LTD company for my benefits. I hired Mr. Gue...rrini. His knowledge of disability law (which is highly specialized and complex) is encyclopedic. And, his skills, insights and abilities to maximize my claim, and negotiate the highest possible settlement on my behalf were of the highest caliber. Mr. Guerrini kept me informed of each development throughout the entire process. He also quickly, patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions. And, Mr. Guerrini cared deeply about my concerns and goals. Mr. Guerrini is an excellent attorney and counsellor at law, and I highly recommend him to be your attorney in your fight to receive your rightful benefits from your disability insurance company.

Great attorney

I was at a loss as to what to do when Social Security and my long term insurance denied my disability. I met with Mr. Guerrini and he was so knowledgeable and compassionate, that I knew he was the attorney for me. He was able to get my disability started pretty quickly and that was several years ago.... I would highly recommend him.

The best in Texas

Mr. Guerrini and his entire firm are top notch. I give them my highest recommendation. I researched many firms before selecting this firm. My short term disability had already been turned down after I had done everything I was asked to do, and this was after I was discharged from my job for being ...disabled! Mr. Guerrini listed fully to my history, then laid out his strategy without promising anything while at the same time installing confidence that we had a good chance of winning. As all things of this sort do, it took a long time, but my case was overturned on appeal! I could not believe it. His strategy worked 1, 2, 3. If you have an ERISA case, please contact this firm. My case was one of those that is very difficult to win on appeal, and he pulled it off. I am eternally grateful to him and his team.

Denial of LTD Benefits

After submitting a LTD claim to my disability insurance company, I was immediately declined and didn’t know where to turn. I called a few law firms to no avail, but as luck would have it, I contacted a firm that did not handle individual claims, but highly recommended that I contact Mr. Guerrini. A...s most people who are faced with this predicament, I was worried and scared about my finances because I had read so many online comments about how challenging the appeal process could be, not to mention how the process could take years. As soon as I spoke with Mr. Guerrini, my anxiety levels dropped and I felt a sense of calm. A professional and articulate gentleman, yet soft-spoken and patient, he always took the time to make sure I understood the process. In addition, his Legal Assistant, Judy is a lovely lady who always kept me well-informed of the process and always attentive to respond when I contacted her with questions. In a nutshell, once Bernard and Judy submitted my appeal, the denial of my benefits was overturned within 3 weeks. So, for you folks out there dealing with the denial of disability benefits, look no further … Bernard Guerrini & his legal staff are the absolute best!!!

Help For The Disabled

Mr. Guerrini was the first attorney I called after a large insurance company tried to cheat me out of the disability income I am unquestionably qualified to receive. He answered the phone himself, listened to me, and throughly explained how cases like mine worked, and what I could expect. After that ...first call with him I had a distinct feeling that he was my man. But just to make sure, I described my case to seven other attorneys. Right off the bat, three out of those seven attorneys recommended I call Mr. Guerrini! I don't wish to imply that communicating with a large insurance company is ever an easy process. In fact one time I was actually ready to give up. Luckily, Mrs. Jane Guerrini empathized with me on the phone and tenderly offered that we try just "one more thing." That "one more thing" resulted in a settlement that gives me hope these large insurance companies cannot get away with cheating people out of disability benefits for which they truly quality. At least not if they hire Bernard Guerrini to represent them.
