I cannot recommend the Law Office of Justin C. Frankel highly enough. From the very beginning, the team was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me through a difficult disability claim process. They took the time to understand my situation, kept me informed every step of the way, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Their knowledge of disability insurance law and attention to detail gave me confidence during an incredibly stressful time. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I achieved a positive outcome that I could not have accomplished on my own. If you need experienced and compassionate representation for a disability claim, this is the firm to call. Highly recommended!

Sedgwick tried to cut my leave benefits short, but Justin and his assistant Christina helped me file a successful appeal, and we were able to overturn it. Justin's office was easy to work with and communicated well. Highly recommended!

Very pleasant to work with. I felt that Christina was compassionate, understanding, professional and flexible. Super organized. She truly held my hand while I was feeling emotional and overwhelmed with details. When needed, she interacted with me and Justin - with positive results. Communication with the firm was very efficient and to-the-point. I felt that all my questions were answered and I always felt like a valuable client, with both Justin and Christina aware of all details of my case and being on top of the issue. The strategy proposed by Justin in dealing with my disability appeal proved to be effective - we won the case. I feel that the firm’s services are expensive, but the price and fair chances of winning/losing were outlined in advance, and have proven to be justified. The outside experts that Justin picked were credible and professional. There were no hidden or unexpected charges. In fact, even if I had lost, I would have felt that my advocates have done everything possible, and that the money was well-spent. I turned to Mr. Frankel on a business contact’s recommendation, and now can enthusiastically recommend their services.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding — Justin Frankel Delivered a Major Win! I cannot recommend Justin Frankel and his team highly enough. After our long-term disability insurer paid benefits for nearly two years And then abruptly terminated them, we were facing significant financial stress while raising a young family. Justin took on our appeal with professionalism, deep expertise, and relentless determination. Justin understood the nuances of the policy and built a strong, well-documented appeal. He patiently guided us through every step, responded quickly to questions and kept us informed without sugarcoating the challenges. Christina His assistanT was also fantastic — responsive, organized, and always helpful with documents and follow-ups. Justin successfully got the appeal approved. We are now receiving the full reinstatement of benefits we were owed, This victory has been life-changing for our family and has removed an enormous burden. Justin is not just a skilled disability insurance attorney — he is a true advocate who fights hard for his clients. You will not find better representation. Thank you Justin and Christina — we are forever grateful!

Yesterday, I was notified by Attorney Justin Frankel and Christina Panzarella that my Disability Claim has been approved. I must say, it was a great pleasure having representation from the Law Office. Attorney Frankel walked me through each step of the process from the initial consultation to the final decision. His professionalism, integrity and honesty made me feel quite comfortable and secure. I knew I was in the right hands. I can't say enough kind words for Christina. She was there for me in all hours of day, holding my hand through the process. She was reassuring, positive and patient. Attorney Frankel and Christina make a GREAT team. I strongly recommend the Law Office for your Disability Concerns. Frank Curro

My husband and I can't thank Justin and Christina (his paralegal) enough. From the start, Justin was knowledgable, forthright and fair. He explained the issues well and guided us through a process that we would have definitely failed in without his help. Even if our appeal had failed, we would still feel satisfied knowing Justin helped us do everything we could.

Justin and Christina are the best at what they do! The expertise and experience they have in helping to fight the giant insurance corporation and paper pushing medical practitioners gave us back what the insurer had taken away. They gave us realistic time lines and expectations which really helped with our peace of mind and answered so many questions along the way. The thousands of pages of documents would have stopped us if we had been trying to do this alone, but they powered through and supported us when the burden got heavy. We could not be happier with the firm and the outcome!

Justin Frankel and his team are the absolute best in the business. Dealing with a Long Term Disability denial was a heavy burden, but Justin and his paralegal, Christina, were exceptional from day one. They are very personable, maintain excellent communication, and truly understand the immense stress that an appeal can have on a client. Their blueprint clearly outlines the entire process, assists with all the necessary documentation, and includes examples for reference purposes. I always knew exactly where we were in the process, as they provided next steps and set expectations during our regular touch-base calls. They are extremely knowledgeable and strategic, producing an overwhelming appeal that reversed my denial and secured my benefits. I was also very comfortable with their pricing structure, as it was a differentiator compared to other firms and benefited the client, in my opinion. If you need an ERISA disability attorney who will listen to you, provide guidance, shield you from the insurance company, and win, this is the firm to partner with. I will always be grateful for what Justin and his team did for me and my family.

My vision was getting worse. It was due to a pre-existing condition so I assumed disability insurance wasn’t an option. Then one day I learned it was. I knew nothing about long-term disability, ERISA, etc.. I needed help. I spoke to several attorneys. Some local. Some national. Some big firms. Some boutique. What set Justin apart was he never tried to “sell” me or use scare tactics about insurance carriers. He simply answered my questions and said, “When it’s time, let me know.” Two years later, it was time. Justin and his paralegal, Christina, were incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. I still had plenty of questions, often multiple per day, and they always replied quickly, even on weekends. I had two policies with different carriers. One was approved within ten business days, with even more favorable benefits than I realized were included in the policy. The other was approved shortly thereafter. Peace of mind is invaluable, and that’s exactly what Justin and Christina provide. They’re knowledgeable, diligent, and highly responsive, and they genuinely care. They’ll also make you laugh. I can’t recommend them enough.

I am so happy I choose the Law Firm of Justin Frankel. After being denied my Disability Benefits Justin Frankel was not only able to overturn my wrongful denial of my Short-Term disability benefits, but he was also able to successfully assist with the processing of my Long-Term Disability Benefits. Both cases were overturned. I was very impressed by his professionalism & the outstanding work that he did.

The Law Office of Justin Frankel provided outstanding representation for my father’s short-term disability case. After New York Life denied his claim related to Alzheimer’s, Justin successfully overturned the decision and secured the benefits we needed. His paralegal, Christina, was patient, informative, and supportive throughout the process. Their professionalism and dedication made a difficult situation much easier. Highly recommended.

I'm very thankful to Justin and Christina for working so hard to get my disability insurance denial reversed and help me navigate any future roadblocks. Successfully advocating for your insurance benefits is difficult enough when you feel well, but after having my claim denied while disabled, I knew I'd need a lot of help, expertise, and guidance. They were wonderful to work with - responsive, communicative, and proactive - and answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly even when I was at my most neurotic. They even jumped in the week of Thanksgiving to fix a last-minute problem. They also offered a ton of guidance on how I could better document my condition, which proved to be instrumental. I have a lot of trust in them and feel confident they were thinking of my best interests. I'm happy to have them in my corner and can't recommend them enough!
