Experienced Long Term Disability Lawyers Fighting For You

Our attorneys have experience in handling all insurance disability matters, with a focus on wrongfully denied long term disability cases in Chesapeake and across the country. We have taken on major insurance companies in Chesapeake, Virginia, and nationwide. Depending on your claim’s stage, we can assist you in filing an administrative appeal or lawsuit against the insurer.
Do not worry that we are not in Chesapeake, VA. We handle long term disability claims nationwide. If a lawsuit becomes necessary, knowing that most claims are governed by a federal regulation called ERISA is essential.
