This is how it works

To retain Riemer Hess LLC, these are the steps you need to take:

Step 1: Complimentary Telephone Consultation

First, we'll discuss your situation by phone.  This consultation is completely complimentary.   This is our chance to get to know your concerns, answer your questions, and find out the details of your claim.  To find out how we can help, we’ll ask questions about the nature of your disability, your current work status, your disability insurance coverage, and other pertinent details.  

This consultation will be conducted by our knowledgeable and experienced Relationship Director.  Our Relationship Director will determine whether our firm can meet your needs and goals.  If so, we will schedule a face-to-face meeting to move forward.

Step 2: Come Meet Us

The next step is to come to our office and meet with one of our partners, Scott M. Riemer and Jennifer L. Hess.

Your meeting will last approximately one hour, but is not restricted by time.  Of course, your spouse or significant other is welcome to attend and join our conversation.  If you can’t get to our office, we’ll be happy to conduct the meeting by telephone or videoconference for your convenience. 

During your meeting, the Firm will:

• Conduct an in-depth interview;
• Review your documents;
• Answer all your questions;
• Formulate a personalized plan to protect you;
• Explain the next steps; and
• Propose a fee structure to fit your needs.

The cost of this meeting is a flat fee of $500.

Step 3: Retainer Agreement

Our office will provide you with a retainer agreement after your consultation meeting.  The retainer agreement will detail the scope of our representation and fee structure. 

We offer several different fee arrangements to meet your needs, including flat fees, contingency fees, or a combination of both. We can help you identify which fee arrangement is right for you.

Step 4: Your Team

You will be assigned a team consisting of a paralegal and an attorney.  Your paralegal will be specially trained to implement our proven strategy and answer any questions that you may have along the way.  Your attorney will oversee the execution of your plan and provide legal assistance when necessary.  

In addition to the normal ebbs and flows of your claim, the staff at Riemer Hess meets on a weekly basis to discuss the progress of each claim. At the meeting, the partners will make sure your claim is on the best possible course and decide whether any changes or client input are required. The meetings keep all claims on track and ensure every team member is familiar with the status of your claim.

Step 5:  Plan Execution and Claim Filing

Your staff and attorney will seamlessly execute your plan and file the strongest claim possible.

We will:

• Handle all communications with the insurance company and your employer;
• Gather all necessary documents;
• Develop more supportive evidence;
• Provide guidance to your doctors;
• Help complete all forms;
• Avoid common disability claim traps;
• Document everything;
• Supervise all interviews that the insurance company may request with you.

Step 6:  Access Your Secure Client Portal

As a client of Riemer Hess, you will be assigned a personalized Client Portal.  The Client Portal will give you 24/7 electronic access to review progress and documents on your case.
