Riemer Hess LLC is a New York City-based law firm representing disability insurance claimants nationwide. Our firm focuses exclusively on Individual Disability Insurance (IDI) and Group Long Term Disability (LTD) ERISA claims. We take select long term care (LTC) and life insurance cases.

We assist clients with work exits, initial claims, appeals, ongoing benefit protection, claim terminations, and litigation. Because disability insurance claims often involve complex rules, high financial stakes, and detailed medical evidence, we take a proactive and strategic approach from the start.

Our goal is to help clients understand the process, protect their rights, and make informed decisions at every stage of the claim.

We represent professionals, executives, and high earners whose disability claims often involve complex medical, occupational, and financial issues.

Our clients include physicians, attorneys, executives, financial professionals, consultants, and others whose work depends on focus, judgment, stamina, communication, and consistency.

Riemer Hess is proud to be a Preferred Attorney to the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA). We have handled more than 100 traumatic brain injury long term disability claims and also represent clients with chronic pain, autoimmune illness, psychiatric conditions, neurological disorders, cancer, and other serious medical conditions.

We understand that a disability claim can affect your career, income, and sense of security. Our team provides clear guidance, strong advocacy, and steady support when clients need it most. 

We’re committed to helping clients navigate the disability claims process with confidence and clarity. That includes:

• Providing top quality, innovative legal representation tailored to each client’s unique circumstances;
• Building client relationships based on candor, responsiveness, respect, and trust;
• Monitoring, on a daily basis, relevant legal developments under ERISA and disability insurance law;
• Advancing the rights of people with disabilities through litigation and advocacy efforts; and
• Educating the public by sharing informative content, collaborating with advocacy organizations, writing educational materials, and teaching on topics related to long term disability benefits.
