Mel L. Crawford

Mel is an absolute professional. He helped me navigate a serious change to my health which impacted my ability to work. He helped me understand the benefits available to me and represented me when working with the insurance company. I have no doubt that without Mel's expertise, we would still be sor...ting through the process and requirements to ensure I get the healthcare and benefits I need. Thank you, Mel,!

Mel brings tremendous expertise and knowledge to his work with clients struggling with disability claims. He knows exactly what steps to take when an insurance company denies a claim that clearly should be covered due to medical necessity. He remains calm and supportive throughout the process, and ...brings a positive attitude and good humor to a distressing situation. Mel effectively explained the dense and complex information sent by the insurance company and made specific and helpful suggestions as to how best to respond to correspondence and actions taken by the company, and when and if to take legal action. He also helped me to work with my doctors to ensure that I and they were providing the correct medical information to support my claim. His work on my year-long case resulted in the company deciding to approve my claim after multiple denials. I am so grateful for his help and would recommend Mel to anyone in need of a fantastic disability lawyer.

I hired Mel Crawford in 2021 for my disability case and I’m grateful for the hard work he has put into it. There have been a lot of insurance-related obstacles and I can confidently say that Mel has advised me like no one else throughout a stressful process. Mel is very responsive, and a positive lig...ht each time I feel a new phase in my case is seemingly unfavorable or too challenging. He sheds light on the insurance company’s intent, helps me field questions from my doctors, and keeps all content well organized for me. I have had positive after positive outcome navigating the disability process thanks to Mel. I highly recommend him to help you.

I highly recommend Mel without reservation. Mel was very thorough in his approach; he read through my long term disability policies and guided me on the process. He supported me with my private disability insurance carriers through the completion of forms, written responses and coached me on interact...ions. I was successful in securing long term disability as a result. Mel’s hourly rate is on the high side but he is efficient and his value is worth every penny. Mel is an expert in the field and an upstanding professional.

I went to Mel after my LTD cut off my monthly benefits. Anyone that is currently looking for a disability attorney knows how traumatic and stressful the whole process is. Mel is an exceptionally skilled, competent, and knowledgeable attorney. Following Mel's guidance, and putting my trust in his ab...ilities, he was successful in resolving my situation to my fullest satisfaction. Nothing happens fast in the LTD world. However, Mel's experience instilled a great confidence (knowing that I was doing the right thing, and going down the right path). While nothing is guaranteed in this world, being able to have confidence in anything dealing with LTD is a rare commodity and hard to come by. My family and I couldn't be happier with the way Mel conducted himself, communicated, and ultimately in the result he was able to secure. I only wish that I would have secured his services earlier on so that I could have either avoided the whole appeals process altogether or that I would have seen it coming a mile away so I would have been better prepared to contend with it when it happened. Regardless, I will now continue to retain Mel's services for my ongoing needs. I can't recommend Mel highly enough!!!
