My employer Disability benefits were managed by a 3rd party insurance company. After getting jerked around for 10 years by the ins. company, they illegally cut off my ERISA controlled benefits, we decided to sue. I was assured that she had the experience with these complex federal laws. She did not. ...Many communication issues, along with lack of expertise and experience. When Judge threatened to toss the suit for extreme failure to continue, she vanished, leaving me alone in a federal level lawsuit. No attorney will take a half-baked botched case. It was do or die for me. I ultimately took it on, and after 4 years pro se against 4 different huge firms, prevailed! Poor communication. Inability to follow court instructions. Poor time management. Inexperienced with federal ERISA benefit laws. ERISA is supposed to protect private employee benefits like pensions, disability, and death of an employee. It's complex, confusing and favors the corporation. Find a SPECIALIST for legal advice. This is 10 years ago, and I can only hope she has decided to avoid ERISA cases.
