Exceptional Disability Insurance Lawyer

Highly specialized law firm that represents doctors, surgeons, dentists and other professionals to help them receive disability insurance benefits. If you need legal assistance for a long-term disability insurance claim, I strongly recommend Bourhis Law Group.

Posted by Lisa | February 15, 2023 | Hired Attorney

Highly recommend!

I came to Bourhis Law Group after jumping through endless hoops with my long-term disability insurance company and getting nowhere. Matt and Ritsa made me feel heard, important, and respected every step of the way. We settled with the insurance company after they couldn't wiggle out of their obliga...tions when faced with attorneys who really know the law. Ann-Marie was also kind and patient at every turn, I never felt like I was interrupting or annoying when asking for something to be explained, again. If you want to be represented by an attorney who cares and knows the law, you need Bourhis Law Group on your side.

Highly Recommend the Bourhis Law Group

I had the pleasure to have Matthew represent me in my disability insurance claim. From my first conversation and throughout the claim process, Matthew was extremely knowledgeable and focused on helping secure my benefits. My unusual case was handled in such a caring and professional manner which ul...timately resulted in a successful and significant financial settlement with my insurance company. I highly recommend Matthew and the Bourhis Law Group to anyone seeking their services.

Honest, compassionate, knowledgeable- A+++

Thanks to the time Matthew spent with me, I feel much more prepared and encouraged to continue fighting my case. When you are trying to locate an attorney to represent you in a challenging case, it can be difficult to locate a compassionate, knowledgeable, responsive firm. It was immediately ap...parent, that Matthew and his paralegal Ann Marie, actually care about people first. I felt heard and seen, and knew I could trust the Bourhis group to provide me with honest, knowledgeable legal advise to steer me in the right direction in a very challenging situation. Thank you, Matthew and Ann Marie for your kind and valuable guidance!!

5 Stars: Competence with Compassion

Matthew treated my initial consultation as if I were already his client in court. It was evident that his compassionate approach helped extract a lot more insights and details about my case. In addition, Matthew has an astute and incisive ability to strategize and organize my case by providing multip...le scenario assessments and relevant recommendations. 100% will work with Matthew again should opportunities arise in the future.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
