I had a really smooth experience with the law office of Justin Frankel. He and his assistant, Christina ,were consistently responsive to calls and emails, explained things clearly, and handled everything efficiently. They clearly know the disability process, and I felt supported every step of the way. I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing help with disability.

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!

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!

Taking on any insurance company with a claim is a daunting task for anyone. I was fearful that If I decided to file a disability claim on my own I would miss something. This would lead to a denial and the land of "lost" appeals. Having worked in the health care industry I know that the best chance to get a health insurance claim or pre-authorization approved is the very first time. Living in Virginia I was concerned about using an attorney out of state. I found Mr Frankel (Justin) via A Google search. He had almost a perfect 5 star review for very good reasons. From my first phone contact with Christina at Justin s office to the email from Justin stating that my claim was approved I was made to feel very comfortable and almost as if I was their only client. I am sure they are very busy with other clients. Despite this Justin answered phone calls and emails promptly: sometimes at 10 pm and on Saturdays! I told Justin that he is a gem in the murky legal world. This is quite refreshing. If I could give Justin and staff 6 stars I would. The retainer was a great value especially for being a farm onong Island NY!!!

From the very beginning, J. Frankel Law exceeded our expectations. They really listened to us and took their time to fully understand our situation, which meant the world to us during such a difficult time. Their approach was incredibly thorough, and they explained everything so clearly and patiently that I found myself tearing up with gratitude. A special thank you to Christina as well—she was kind, professional, and supportive every step of the way. Having someone like her on the team made the experience that much smoother and more comforting. In a moment when everything felt overwhelming, having people like J. Frankel and Christina in our corner gave us hope and peace of mind. It’s rare to find attorneys who not only know the law inside and out but also lead with empathy and compassion. We’re beyond thankful for their support, and we can confidently say we have no regrets. If you’re in a tough spot and need someone who genuinely cares and will fight for you, look no further than J.

Highly Recommend for Disability I am incredibly grateful to Justin Frankel and his paralegal Christina Panzarella for the outstanding support and expertise they provided throughout my disability insurance process. From the moment I reached out, Justin was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me. They walked me through every step, explained the complex legal details in a way that was easy to understand, and kept me informed at every stage. Justin understands dentistry and how a disability can effect your ability to practice. He also understands and has worked with all of the different insurance companies, and each companies nuances. Thanks to their thorough preparation, strategic approach, and understanding of the system, they were able to successfully win my appeal. I truly felt like I had a strong advocate in my corner, and I can’t imagine going through this process without their guidance.

It’s my privilege to give Mr. Frankel five stars, I would give him more if I could. Going through the process of getting disability through the workplace can be a very strenuous accomplishment. I began a conversation with Justin almost 7-8 years ago and must have talked 8 to 10 times for the next couple of years before I actually made the choice to pursue. After reading, so many articles about what a nightmare and intimidating it was to get your benefits through private insurance I was just afraid to tackle that on my own. Justin walked me through every stage, and committed to me that he would make sure everything worked out and I that didn’t have anything to worry about. I finally got to the point where I was just kidding myself about trying to keep on working and trusted Justin to help me through this process. Probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. It is very intimidating to have to deal with companies and the way they act toward you (by giving you the runaround and putting you on hold, etc.) if you’re not someone that is familiar with the procedure. Another concern I had was the distance between us, I’m old school so I normally like to meet someone face-to-face that’s going to be handling such an important task for me, I am in North Carolina and he is in New York. That ended up not even being a factor. I could call Justin anytime and speak with him, not his office, Justin! If he was not there, I would leave a message, but I didn’t get far from my phone because he would be calling me back almost immediately. I never spoke to anyone during my whole process except for Justin! He was “Jonny on the spot” in every situation! Another thing to consider, “they” know who he is! If he’s working for you, you will get very little to no pushback, as my experience was as smooth as it could have possibly gone. So take it from me, if you don’t want the stress and hassle of dealing with all of the red tape and problems you will run into with insurance companies, call and speak with Justin today! I told him I’m certain he added a few more years to my life, taking all of the stress away from it. I am honored and proud to give him the highest review and consider him a friend after all that we have accomplished together. I’m also not some “bot” in advertising, I’m a real person, if you have any skepticism, I give Justin permission to give you my number and you call me personally for assurance. If you are in the position I was in, I certainly wish you the best of luck in getting what you need. Just know that I am 100% satisfied with Justin Frankel and his service to me!!

I cannot recommend Justin and Christina enough. I truly do not know how I could have handled this last year without their help. While experiencing a multitude of physical and mental conditions, filing for a disability claim added an enormous layer of stress, which greatly exacerbated my symptoms. Dealing with the insurance company was making my conditions exponentially worse and I felt absolutely helpless, something that I was not used to after having a successful professional career for 15 years. After my initial claim was denied by the insurance company, I searched for a long time to find an attorney who could help me and I am so grateful that I found this firm. Justin and Christina were very responsive to all of my inquiries and were very warm at a time when I really needed support. They took the time to talk to me, helped me collect an exorbitant amount of documents, and were (and continue to be) excellent advocates for me. Thank you both so much for all that you do - you guys are making such a positive difference in your clients’ lives.

When my Long Term Disability Insurance Company terminated my benefits after receiving them for two years, I thought life as I knew it would drastically change, until I found the Law Offices of Justin C. Frankel. Mr. Frankel and Sr. Paralegal, Christina Panzarella, are NOT your stereotypical attorney and paralegal. They were responsive, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. They explained, in detail, the entire process of filing an appeal and managed my expectations with grace. They were accessible to me over the course of 8 months, and frequently checked in on my welfare. Both Mr. Frankel and Christina Panzarella worked many hours to ensure a SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME of my appeal. If you are searching for the most competent duo to fight for your rights, search no further than The Law Offices of Justin C. Frankel, P.C. I am forever grateful for them.

I contacted the Law Office of Justin Frankel through an online search. I was looking for a firm that handled cases with a particular insurance agency and they did. I received a call back in a timely response from the lovely Christina who was very straight forward with the intake process, and properly accessed my case with insightful things she was able to share within her knowledge. This saved me time on having to wait days for a callback with an attorney, or for an answer on whether they could assist with my case. Although I did not retain services with the Law Office of Justin Frankel, Christina's transparency and understanding of my legal situation was greatly appreciated!

I first contacted Justin around 2019 when my MS began to affect my career. I reached out to several lawyers, who were supposed to be experts in MS cases. Justin was the only one willing to meet with me for a free & in- person consultation; the rest wanted me to send ALL my records first. Justin spent a significant amount of time displaying his expertise; explaining the merits/challenges of my case; the required documentation; how his office would assist in the process; and the competitive fee structure and estimated costs. I continued to work, reaching out to him again, in 2021. Once more, he provided a free consultation answering all my questions. When I finally decided to file for STD/LTD in 2023 I chose Justin to represent me. Having worked in the insurance industry for 25+ years, I knew the process would be difficult, and confusing (even to me), and retained him for the STD claim; I wanted the STD to be executed impeccably so that there would be no issues with the LTD claims. Justin and Christina, Senior Paralegal, were, and continue to be, incredibly responsive throughout the entire process (I was approved for LTD but continue to have to battle the insurance company over diagnosis which affects the coverage). The office handles all the paperwork, and outreach to the insurance company, which reduces my stress levels tremendously (an important factor with MS). Christina’s attention to detail is remarkable, and my bar is high as a former project manager and compliance manager. Justin works directly with you, both via email and on phone calls; you are not passed off to an assistant. They are both professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. It is clear they have been doing this for a long time and know how to navigate the process for successful outcomes.

I called Justin as a result of reading his reviews. The legal support I have received from Justin is outstanding and in line with the reviews. He is an expert in his field, is compassionate and makes himself available if you need to talk to him. Christina is very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend this office.

Justin and his team helped me at one of the worst times of my life. My life had been forever altered by a freak accident causing me to have a traumatic brain injury. The TBI ended my career and my ability to be self reliant. I was a high level commercial insurance specialist prior to the accident. I knew how the insurance companies play games with claims but I’d never seen the games they played like with disability. It was humiliating and terrifying. I am dependent upon the disability insurance I paid for 25 years. The disability company tried everything they could to not pay but Justin and his team stepped in and protected me. The process was surprisingly simple. Justin insulated me from having to deal directly with the disability company. He stepped in and took care of everything. As corny as it may sound, Justin stepped in and saved me from losing my benefits and from having to deal with the soulless insurance company. I could finally focus on healing. Justin and his team are professional, clearly knowledgeable, experienced and equally as important, compassionate. Hiring them was one of the best things I have ever done.

As a dentist, I had heard of colleagues falling victim to debilitating pain related to injuries sustained from our profession. I was one of those dentists who thought that would never be the case for me. So when I found that I could no longer operate my private practice as I had due to physical disability, I was unsure of what to expect next in my career or ability to provide for my family. I also had little understanding of the process of filing and navigating a disability claim. I conducted a national search for an attorney that could assist in this process. I selected Justin Frankel and have not regretted that decision since. I have found both he and his senior paralegal, Christina Panzarella to be nothing short of exceptional. What appeared to be an intimidating process at first has proven to be smooth and supported with the help of Mr Frankel and his expertise. I have full confidence in this firm and cannot provide anything but my highest recommendation for what they are able to do. Thank you for everything you have and continue to do on my behalf!

I absolutely could not be happier about the work of Justin Frankel and his team—with an extra tip of the hat to his outstanding Senior Paralegal, Christina Panzarella. Knowing little about law or insurance, I felt completely at sea having to battle an insurance behemoth that had denied my long term disability (due to ME/CFS) claim. It was clear that I would need to have someone in my corner who knew the ropes. At the start, I imagined that I would likely be fobbed off to some assistant to an assistant. Imagine my surprise and delight at speaking directly and repeatedly with Justin and Christina. Their understanding of disability insurance is vast and deep, and their calm, professional manner was very welcome. Despite being experts, they haven’t forgotten how to explain to laypersons the byzantine world that insurance companies inhabit. My wife and I really appreciated how Justin and Christina continually kept in the loop the whole way, providing updates and time lines. Their guidance through this experience was always clear, timely, and, I’m happy to say, effective. I give Justin Frankel and his team my highest recommendation, with no reservations. They are absolutely the best, and I’m so, so glad that I found them. I almost never leave reviews, but it was others having left strong reviews that led me to contact Justin. I wanted to leave my review here for anyone else who is in the position I was in some months ago-- wondering whether to pay for an attorney, and whether to retain Justin Frankel. A resounding YES on both counts.

When initiating my disability claim, I contacted several attorneys. Justin was the only one who had specific knowledge of my not-so-common condition, gave me endless time and attention during a free consultation, and was completely transparent about his fee structure and estimated costs. I engaged him to handle my STD and LTD claims, as I wanted them executed impeccably the first time to avoid any unnecessary appeals processes. Throughout the process, Justin and his Senior Paralegal, Christina, were incredibly responsive to any questions I had, set realistic expectations on potential outcomes and timelines, handled all paperwork and contact with the insurance company, and ultimately got me approved and paid on my initial claims. Most importantly, they were professional, patient, and calming voices when the stress of the disability and the insurance process were overwhelming to me. I highly recommend Justin Frankel.

Long Term Disability cases are very hard to navigate and be successful. One mistake or insufficient appeal can be life changing in a negative way. Justin Frankel and his team have been very pivotal in providing the necessary support with professionalism and sincere concern for my well-being and future. They not only were successful in my initial appeal but successful the second time as well. Their legal representation has restored safety in my future as I try to heal and adjust to my new lifestyle with my disabilities. I am completely impressed with what they have done for me. They are very professional and knowledgeable. If you need legal help with short-term disability and/or long-term disability claims, Justin Frankel and his team are the winning choice. Thank you so much Justin and Christina specifically.

If you are a dentist considering claiming disability benefits, don't look any further. Hire Justin Frankle and his team. He will fight for you and ensure you receive the benefits you deserve, even when insurance companies try to deny them. I can't speak highly enough about Mr. Justin Frankle and his team, particularly Christina, his Sr. Paralegal, at his New York-based disability law firm. Three and a half years ago, I found myself in a dire situation when my hand doctor advised me to stop working as a dentist due to bilateral osteoarthritis in the base of my thumbs. Unsure of where to turn, I sought assistance in claiming my disability benefits. From the moment I reached out to Mr. Frankle's office, I was met with professionalism and efficiency. He and his team guided me through every step of the claim process, providing invaluable support and expertise along the way. What truly sets Mr. Frankle apart is his unwavering dedication to his clients. He always made himself available, responding to emails and calls promptly, often within 24 hours. During our initial consultation, Mr. Frankle impressed me with his depth of knowledge and experience in handling disability cases for dentists. He was transparent about the process, answering all my questions with clarity and confidence. It was evident that he had handled many cases like mine before and knew exactly what needed to be done. Moreover, Mr. Frankle's honesty regarding his fees was refreshing. Unlike other attorneys I had consulted with, he was upfront about his pricing, ensuring there were no surprises along the way. I found his fees to be very reasonable, especially considering the high level of service and expertise he provided. Thanks to Mr. Frankle and his team, I was able to navigate the complexities of the disability claims process with ease. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their clients are unmatched. I highly recommend Mr. Justin Frankle to any dentist in need of disability legal assistance.

You will never meet a more dedicated and honest person, he is always available to answer any questions or concerns , he sincerely cares about my case , he continues to go above and beyond even 4 years later .

I would like to take a minute to thank Justin and Christina for all they have done for me and my family and say I highly recommend the Law Office of Justin Frankel for anyone who needs help with their disability claim. I became disabled in 2009 and in 2016 my long term disability insurance company tired to stop my benefits with no warning or cause given. With nowhere to turn and in danger of losing my home I was lucky enough to find Justin Frankel and his paralegal Christina Panzarella who put together an appeal so thorough and indisputable that the insurance company reinstated my benefits in full plus backpay for the time it was taken away without having the case go to trial. They literally saved my life and allowed my family to stay in our home and Christina was there to guide me through the difficult process from beginning to end. I don't know what I would have done without them. I have since retained Justin Frankel as my attorney and all communications between me and the insurance company now go strictly through his office. I trust Justin and Christina to look out for my best interest unconditionally and that is the highest compliment and recommendation I can give. Ralph Ruggiero

He has great attention to detail, communication and works for you to get the best possible outcome. I battled with the LTD insurance company, on my own, for over 6 months only to receive a denial. Mr. Frankel took my case, at a very competitive rate, submitted additional documentation/statements that ultimately won my case. Trust me, you want Justin Frankel to handle your LTD case!

Be prepared to be asked a ton of personal information as well as irrelevant questions. Went to their chat on their website. After explaining my question (which took at least more than 5 minutes), they will have an attorney call you. However an attorney never called. An "intake information" person called and that went on for quite some time. Then I was told that if they think they can help me someone else will call. And all I wanted was to ask a simple question. Information regarding effect of private disability insurance if medicare approves SSDI request. It was a waist of time for me. So my conclusion is -- if its their time, it's important. If it's my time,-- it's not. Never did get the answer. It is obvious this firm - probably like most - have a screening process that allows them to maximize their atty's fees, and their time minimized. Those who have serious concerns can't even get a question answered without them waisting OUR time.

I was cut off unfairly by the insurance company because they just didn't want to pay me anymore. I called several attorneys in MA who stated they weren't interested in taking my case. I was running out of time to file an appeal. I called Frankel & Newfield from NY and received positive support right away. Jason agreed to take my case after a brief conversation and began working immediately to help me. We won my appeal after his timely filing and the firm has been helpful and supportive ever since. Jason is the best attorney and I am grateful daily for his support and expertise. Thanks guys!

I have been dealing with a disabling illness for years, and came across Jason via an online search when my disability benefits were unexpectedly dropped. Jason set very clear expectations for us from the very beginning, and was easily accessible, open and honest throughout our entire experience. Christina was a pleasure to work with as well. They even extended personal support through a devastating family loss that we had during the disability appeal process. They did such a fantastic job, that I have continued my relationship with them as I continue to deal with this illness. I couldn't be happier with that decision, and would not hesitate to recommend Jason and his team to anyone seeking these services.

I have been a client of Frankel & Newfield for over 18 years. Jason Newfield is the most caring, professional attorney I have ever known. Places the clients interest first. Very knowledgeable. Always available for a question or situation. When Jason represents you, rest assured you are being representative by the best.

Justin and his team including Christina are outstanding.  The insurance companies make it difficult for the disabled, however, they are no match for Justin and his experienced team.  My case was extremely difficult and I personally had lost hope but Justin kept me positive.  He stacked my case with medical evidence, scientific backup and vocational expert support.  I am very fortunate that I found his firm, Justin cares about the individual and not only did he win my case but he negotiated a very beneficial deal on my behalf.  He is an amazing, experienced attorney that will do everything possible to win your case, don’t hesitate and make sure he is on your side!

I cannot overstate how supportive and helpful Jason and Christine have been. Their expertise has allowed me to focus on my health and attempt to optimize my treatments. Everything is personal and very hurtful. It is hard to believe the insurance company and your long time employer would be so unfeeling. Being disabled and ill and attempting to navigate the disability insurance nightmare claims, denials and appeals process is a recipe for failure. Do yourself a favor, get a great knowledgeable advocate to make sure you are fairly treated: Frankel & Newfield.

Dealing with a private disability insurance claim can be a difficult and laborious process. Even in its simplest form, the process is adversarial and one needs top notch representation. Jason Newfield and his staff, Kristin, provide just such legal services. My medical condition had deteriorated over a number of years to the point where a disability claim was inevitable. One files a claim and initially you get some support from the insurance company claim staff, but inevitably you hit the wall. The claim will be denied for any number of reasons. You have plenty of medical evidence, but the insurance company overwhelms you. This is why you need the excellent legal guidance Jason can provide. Jason is extremely knowledgeable in private disability insurance, knows the participants very well and has plenty of experience. He knows the routine, what to expect from the disability claim staff, and how to steer the process to the best possible conclusion. He took charge of my case, managing the interface with the insurance company and the submission of the appeal. It’s fair to say he knew what would happen at each juncture, and had a tactical response ready if he did not like the result. Jason is also all business, efficient with his and your time. Legal calls are focused, to the point and short. It’s what you want from your lawyer for disability insurance representation. Jason and Kristin turned a disability denied situation to an approval for Long Term Disability. Nothing changed, all the facts and medical support were the same, but, with Jason’s representation, my claim was approved. Outstanding results.

When my long term disability was suddenly cancelled, I needed an expert law firm to help get the benefits back. Frankel & Newfield’s web site was the most informative by far, so I called them, and hired them, and I have never regretted doing so. The partners and employees were very competent, professional, and really experienced in these matters. They knew exactly what to do and did it well. I won my case thanks to the firm. No matter how challenging it is to be physically disabled I can always count on this law firm to keep my benefits coming, year after year. I have recommended Frankel & Newfield to several people I knew already. I would unhesitatingly recommend them to everyone who needs this type of help. I can’t say enough good things about these good people!

Justin helped me quite a bit this past year. I was dealing with insurance companies that seemingly wanted to refuse my disability claims, due to Parkinson's Disease, after paying their premiums for years, on time, and never questioning increases in their rates. He worked with them and dealt with their nonsense and did, in fact, get them to pay. Justin is a top notch, personable lawyer. He worked hard for me. I would recommend him wholeheartedly, without reservation, if you need help with similar matters.

Justin is a very proactive and skilled advocate. He is always on up to date with the status of case and prompt in responding to any questions and requests. He has thorough expertise in defending the rights of the claimants and a terrific litigator specially when the claims are unjustly denied.

Highly professional, experts in their field. Justin gave me an outstanding initial consultation. No guarantees, but he explained the merits and risks of my case. Based on his candid assessment, I was able to make a decision to move forward. Justin, Christina and team then did an outstanding job directing me to appropriate medical testing and worked hard to put together an accurate and compelling 223 page appeal. WE WON. I consider disability to be a personal matter, hence the new google account.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all your effort and expertise. From the initial moment of the retainer being signed, I felt a mountain of stress lifted. It’s so unjustly that insurance companies put their clients through stalking, surveillance, and copious measures just to collect on what was promised to us in the initial contract. Will they ever change? How many legal interventions does it take to make insurance entities want to do the right thing? With you and Christina on our side, I was able to sleep at night and proceed forward knowing that I had a right to collect on my benefits. I thank you for the courage and strength that you gave me over the 1 1/2 years that it took to settle. I now have a nest egg to prepare for a potential long term care issue going forward. None of it would have been possible without you.

F&N represented me better than I ever could have expected. I had an unusual case and Jason had a strategy from the outset. While waiting for the results from the ins. company, Jason had the foresight to pivot and make modifications to our strategy potentially negating further issues down the road. He was easy to talk to, sensitive to my needs, achieved a positive outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Jason and his firm.

I searched online for Long Term Disability lawyers after my claim was denied. I spoke with a few, and ultimately chose Justin and I’m so glad I did. He has been doing this work for years and is knowledgeable about what is required at different insurance companies. I’m used to having to manage service professionals and would call Justin asking if there was anything I could do to help move the process along. However, I’ll never forget him saying: It’s ok, we got this. Trust us. We’ll let you know if we need anything. This was the best advice as I truly didn’t have the capacity to do more. My appeal was approved after only 6 months of working with Justin. He even recommended an employment lawyer when that was needed. If you want someone who will go to bat for you and be prompt and professional every step of the way, please work with Justin and Christina (his paralegal), who always had a friendly demeanor and warm touch. I would highly recommend them to anyone with the same need.

After working for a utility company for over 20 years I got hurt on the job. I was no longer able to do my job because of a back injury. I ultimately was approved for LTD and then dropped several months later for no good reason. The insurance company tried to trick me into a weak appeal. I called several attorneys across the U.S. and fortunately I found Justin Frankel. Justin and Christina are simply amazing. They calmed my fears and put my mind at ease. We won the appeal. They are honest and dependable. I could not have done this without them. Justin is very matter of fact and Christina is simply amazing to work with. I highly recommend calling them. Their knowledge and experience just can’t be beat. Do not fight these insurance companies alone. Call Justin.

Unlike most lawyers I interviewed, Justin's approach to explain and make sure I understood the process really helped; others didn't give me the time of day and just wanted me to sign a hefty retainer agreement. Justin hung in there with me and resolved my disability issue.

Finding myself to have become unable to continue in my specialty as an Anesthesiologist was frightening and quite unsettling. I quickly did my research and asked friends and colleagues of various professions and got only one answer "Frankel & Newfield". From the initial phone call to schedule an appointment, through the first consultation with Jason Newfield, and receiving the approval of my disability claim from two different insurance companies, Jason and his staff made me feel like I was their most important client. Jason Newfield had the time and patience to walk me through the whole application process, explaining everything in a professional, calm and reassuring voice. I think it is very important to point out that he never gave false hopes, but always gave his well reasoned thoughts and opinions in a clear and easy to understand way. If you or a loved one are faced with the misfortune of becoming disabled, I can recommend Frankel and Newfield without hesitation. Don't make the mistake of going it alone.
