"Janice" came to Riemer Hess suffering from cervical and lumbar degeneration status post multiple fusions.  She was hardly functional and in desperate need of assistance.  Janice had been receiving benefits for nearly 2 years. 

 However, upon transition to the “any occupation” phase of her claim, she was found to no longer be eligible for disability benefits and her benefits were cut off.  Realizing she was in need of an appeal for both her LTD benefits and Life Insurance (as her waiver of premium benefits were also denied simultaneously), Janice confidently retained Riemer Hess.

“Lynn,” a lively 43 year old sales manager at an upscale clothing boutique, struggled with the combined disabling effects of both Crohn’s Disease and Interstitial Cystitis. Eventually, she had to stop working. On the recommendation of a satisfied former Riemer Hess client, Lynn contacted us to help her file for disability benefits under her employer’s disability insurance plan.

“Mary,” a 57 year old vice president of computer applications at a major company, was stricken with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) at the height of her career. MSA is a devastating neurodegenerative disease marked by a combination of symptoms affecting movement, blood pressure and other bodily functions.

“Jerry,” a 53 year old self-proclaimed workaholic, was a senior executive at a Fortune 500 corporation. As a result of his constant fatigue and shortness of breath, he no longer had the stamina for the twelve hour days and international travel required of his job. Jerry and his employment attorney contacted our Long Term Disability NY Lawyer for help with Jerry’s disability application.

“George” was a 42 year old comptroller at an investment bank. He completed and filed his own application for benefits with the insurance company. When the insurance company requested that George attend an interview with one of its field representatives, George sought legal help and was referred to Riemer Hess by another attorney.
