Plan Your Disability Leave

You may already feel it. Your symptoms are making it harder to keep up with the demands of your job.

At the same time, stepping away from work is a major decision. The timing, medical support, and documentation can all affect your disability claim.

We help you evaluate your options, prepare for leave, and move forward with a clear plan.

Start Your Disability Leave

Once you decide to stop working, the process can feel uncertain.

You may be wondering what to say to your employer, how to document your last day of work, and how your short term and long term disability benefits fit together.

We guide you through each step so your leave is handled properly and your disability claim starts on the right foundation.

Start Your Leave the Right Way

File a Strong Disability Claim

At this stage, everything depends on how your claim is presented.

It is not enough to show that you have a medical condition. Your claim must explain how your symptoms, restrictions, and limitations prevent you from performing the duties of your occupation.

We help develop a clear, well-supported LTD claim that aligns your medical evidence, occupational demands, and policy terms.

Protect Your Long Term Disability Benefits

After your benefits are approved, the insurer may continue to review your claim.

Ongoing requests for medical records, forms, interviews, surveillance, or updated occupational information can create uncertainty.

We help you respond strategically, maintain consistent support, and protect your ongoing monthly benefits.

Appeal a Denied Claim

A denial can feel overwhelming, especially after everything you have already put into your claim.

But an appeal is also your opportunity to strengthen the claim record before the insurer makes its final decision.

We identify the reasons for denial, gather additional medical and vocational support, and prepare a comprehensive ERISA LTD appeal or disability insurance appeal.

Litigation and Mediation

If your claim cannot be resolved through the appeal process, litigation or mediation may be necessary.

We have extensive experience litigating ERISA and individual disability insurance cases, including complex claims involving professionals, executives, and high-value benefits.  Our litigation practice is centered in Manhattan, with substantial experience in the Southern District of New York and the ability to handle matters nationwide. 

We prepare your case carefully, evaluate settlement opportunities, and advocate for you at every stage.
