Madeleine Ann Tabor

Madeleine is truly a godsend . She went above and beyond to get me what I was entitled to from my ex-husbands pension after a 30 year divorce. I’m finding myself.having to reach out to her again after two years due to the death of my ex-husband . They are stopping the monthly payments and actually wa...nt me to return the last payment I want to find out from madeleine if this is correct . If anyone would know it would be her and if that’s the case I’ll have to accept it. Other than that, I would highly recommend Madeleine. She was very patient with me and any question I had she took the time to answer. Love her!!

Madeleine worked for months trying to resolve my benefits situation. Transamerica, Vanguard and Nextstar Media could not get their act together, but Madeleine stayed with it, even going to the Department of Labor to get me what I deserved. I have never been so frustrated and I was happy to have her o...n my side.

After several unsuccessful attempts on my own to start receiving my pension from a major media company that stretched on over a year, I desperately sought help from the Western States Pension Assistance Project. It felt like a David vs. Goliath battle. Fortunately, Madeleine Ann Tabor was assigned to... my case. She immediately began my advocacy by receiving and studying documents I provided verifying my years of vested employment and then wrote a very detailed, impactful letter pointing out that they had already previously stated that I qualified. In a matter of a few weeks, the matter was resolved in my favor. Ms.Tabor is an outstanding lawyer who stays in communication and provides frequent updates on your case. She has also followed up diligently to be sure that all the necessary paperwork has been submitted. She is no nonsense and gets the job done in a very cordial and concerned manner. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for outstanding effective legal representation.

Ms Tabor was a remarkable attorney of knowledge, experience, innovation in her legal representation of my case with the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM). She was a quick study to comprehend the main issue in my case and immediately began case research to address the issues I was having. Her... energy and dedication quickly lead to a successful resolution in my case, Her oral and written communication skills were outstanding to me and the defendant. She encourages suggestions and input to the overall strategy in the case in a manner that builds trust from day one. Her tenacious and positive attitude gave me a feeling of reassurance throughout our case. OPM had miscalculated my pension annuity and made arbitrary deductions to my monthly annuity amounts against their own policies. Her innovative writing style in my Request for Reconsideration and Waiver to OPM brought forward our points of concern through evidence and the use of time line exhibits that left little or no room for any provable rebuttal. Once our case was elevated to OPM Legal Review, we had a final favorable decision in two weeks. You will not be disappointed in this attorney representing you.

I am writing this on behalf of my mother. In March of 2021, my mother’s spouse of 30+ years passed away. He was a retiree of a big motor car company. When she reported his death to his employer, they told her she didn’t qualify for surviving spouse benefits. He took care of her for all of those years..., and she was devastated, to say the least. I began searching and searching for help for my mom and came across the pensionhelp.org. They then directed me to Western States Pension Assistance Project. I was instructed to leave a message and should expect a return call in about six weeks. By then I received a call from Madeleine Tabor, and she was a gift from God. Madeleine was a wealth of knowledge and she advised me of what steps to take to dispute the denial of benefits. She also warned me that the car companies are the worst and to prepare for a long wait. She gave me comfort by saying if we still didn’t get anywhere with them after their investigation, then to feel free to reach out to her again. Her direct phone and email were provided. By August of 2021, my mom received a devastating letter that the benefits were still denied even after all required documents were submitted to them several times over the years. At this point, I reached out to Madeleine again and she was happy to help my mom. It gave me much relief to know that my mom’s case was in good, qualified hands. Madeleine was always quick to respond to all emails and phone calls. All of the supporting documents were given to Madeleine and then she went to work. She then sent a very detailed 3-page letter to them stating all of the facts and basically proved that their decision made no sense. By December of 2021, the company agreed to now pay my mom the surviving benefits that she was entitled to, and they sent one lump sum of retroactive pay and will continue to send a monthly pension payment for the rest of her life. My mother and I will forever be grateful for the outstanding help that Madeleine provided, and that this phenomenal organization helped her with.
