My experience with Attorneys Dell and Schaefer was great. They exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend them. I have referred them many clients and every one has been happy. I would give them Six stars if possible.

When I was in law schooI I had the opportunity to work for Attorneys Dell & Schaefer for two years. Throughout the past ten years that I have been a lawyer I regularly rely on Greg Dell and his lawyers to handle insurance related matters for my clients. Every client that I have referred is very happy with the law firm’s attention to detail and the results they have achieved. I am thankful for the legal skills they taught me and the ability to continue working with them. They are definitely a five star law firm in the field of disability insurance and employee benefits.

I have known Gregory Dell since we attended college together at Washington university in St. Louis. As a financial advisor we have worked together for more than 20 years. Greg is my go to source for anything related to disability insurance. I have referred him numerous clients over the years and they have all been very happy. It is great to be able refer to another business professional and know that they will receive five star service.

Dell & Schaefer did such a marvelous job in handling my Lump Sum Long-term Disability claim, that I have to take my hat off, and give them a standing ovation! Cesar Gavidia, and his assistant Michal were not only very professional, but they handled my case in a very expedient way. Both Cesar and Michal were prompt in returning my calls and answering my questions, which is rare for an attorney. Not only did they obtain the lump sum amount that was promised to me by the insurance company, but they increased the amount by a few thousand dollars. As a man of God, I want to thank God for using Dell & Schaefer to resolve my case, but also for the integrity in which they showed. Thanks to the entire Dell & Schaefer legal team, and may God bless you to have a long and prosperous legal business!

I'm writing this for my wife. We found Dell & Schaefer after searching extensively on the web (my wife is a master researcher). Very few firms will even talk to you until a denial has occurred. We wanted help before that happened. We contacted Dell & Schaefer and were connected with Mr Jessup. There are not enough nice works to say about our interactions with him. Exceptionally helpful at every step. I told my son and daughter-in-law (she is also an attorney) about him and our interactions. They said he is definitely not like the vast majority of attorneys ... and they meant it in an extremely positive way. Thank you Mr Jessup and Dell & Schaefer. A breath of fresh air in a challenging world.

No matter where you are in the country, these lawyers will help you. They could not have been more responsive and they helped my through a difficult time in my life. They obtained full disability benefits for me through the life of the contract.

I would highly recommend Dell & Schaefer to anyone for LTD claims. I had been having a very difficult time with my LTD carrier for over three years and Steve Jessup and his paralegal Vanessa Arriaga relieved the stress and uncertainty about my future. Steve was patient in explaining the process to me and I felt he was "on my side" from the beginning. I am glad I chose Dell & Schaefer to represent me. Thank you Steve and Vanessa.

During my experience with Attorney's Dell & Schaefer, specifically the attorney that handled my case, Alex Palamara, has been an extremely positive one. Whether it was questions or uncertainties I had pertaining to my case, Alex was always available to answer my questions and keep me up to date, and in the loop. At a time in my life when I've been at my lowest, due to my health and financially unable to support my family, Alex and his team was on my side to extract the funds needed from the life insurance company that, I feel, inaccurately closed my policy without due cause.

With obviously no experience in dealing with these life insurance companies in the past, they illegitimately closed my policy several times within a two year period; I was able to appeal their so-called reasoning's they had during this period and have my policy re-opened, being able to keep receiving a monthly check from them, even with the little knowledge/experience I've had. But after that two year period, they sent me a twenty something page termination letter, that included terminology unforeseen by me before and put me at a standstill financially. I had no idea where to turn or what to do, and in response to this obviously well prepared termination letter, that without legal representation I was definitely not seeing any further (expected) compensation from them.

Luckily, I came across Alex and his firm, and very luck to have done so! They have delivered upon the goals in which they originally stated they could complete for me without any hesitation, putting me more at ease...and doing it in a timely fashion (with what you can expect in this sort of legal matter). I would obviously/definitely recommend Alex and his team, and sincerely cannot thank them enough!

I found that during the time my claim was being processed, my attorney (Ms. Alters) and her assistant (Ms. Arriaga) were both very professional, quick to respond, and did not seem pressed for time in a way that let me feel that I was important to them. They were both very straightforward in expressing their thoughts and suggestions as well as helping me understand anything I did not understand. They took the time necessary to explain anything that was confusing to me. I felt as if I knew them personally and appreciated their help very much.
The professionalism, experience, and knowledge are high-level. Those qualities are very important to build my confidence in their representation as well as the outcome of my case.

I have no regrets that I called Dell and Schaefer when I needed to file a claim for my disability. They have taken most of the stress out of the process of filing and maintaining a long term disability claim. I sleep better knowing I have experienced professionals representing me and assisting me with the monthly reports and handling all communications with the insurance company.

I have had such a great experience working with both Rachel Alters and her Paralegal Vanessa. They answered any question I had very quickly. They walked me through every step of appealing my long term disability case. It was a very long process and I was glad to have them there to help me. My denial decision was reversed and they are still answering all my questions. I am so thankful for Rachel and Vanessa because I know I couldn’t have done this without them.I would recommend Attorneys Dell & Schaefer because the attorneys and paralegals are very good at getting all of the information received from doctors and putting together a case which would be very hard for them not to win.

Greg has represented me for 6 years, and he is a no-nonsense attorney who has the ability to keep you focused on the practical matters of the case. We can all get wrapped in the stress of the situation, and I have found Greg to be a very knowledgable and resourceful professional. Highly recommend.

Mr. Symonds was very instrumental in helping me get justice for my insurance company who failed to pay me rightfully for my claim when I got sick and could not work anymore.

Very grateful for his time and work to seek what is right against big insurance companies that take people like myself for advantage.

Without attorneys like Dell & Schaefer insurance companies would completely not be fair or right to those who need the most when they cannot no longer work or suffered with lifelong circumstances that keep them from enjoying a regular good lifestyle.

I am writing to highly recommend Greg Dell & The Law Offices of Dell & Schaefer as disability attorneys. Greg has handled my permanent disability case for over ten years. Along the way, disputes with the insurance Co. were quickly handled by Greg where, in each instance, we always prevailed. Regardless of the pressure to discontinue benefits, Greg assured my uninterrupted flow of benefit checks.

Years ago I had met an attorney from The Law Offices of Dell & Schaefer at a dental meeting and the message (& Biz card) I took away that day became extremely valuable when, much later, I suffered a career-ending injury and had to file for permanent disability benefits.

Even before filing a disability claim, the insured person needs the protection, advice, and power of a good disability attorney. There are potential hidden traps throughout & especially early the claim process. Disability insurance Co.’s look to circumvent their duty to pay. They don’t just write the checks! Dealing with my claim, I often felt my Insurance Co. was taking advantage of me.

To successfully claim & receive continuing benefits, it was clear early on that I needed legal representation. I called Dell & Schaefer, spoke with Greg Dell, and immediately understood that this attorney knew exactly what I was going through & that he had the experience and power to represent me, to stand up to the insurance Co., & to assure my uninterrupted benefits. As soon as Greg took over my case, all correspondence from the insurance Co. went straight to him for his handling. No longer were those insurance Co. letters being delivered to where I live, where they would result in distraction & uncertainties in my home.

It’s been a great relief to my family & me to have Greg Dell and the staff at the Law Offices of Dell & Schaefer, on the job, responding, on my behalf, to the insurance Co.’s relentless pressure to reduce or discontinue my benefits. Greg Dell deserves and receives my highest possible recommendation as a disability attorney.

I would like to thank you and your firm for the fantastic job that you did on my disability denial case. From the moment that I first contacted you up to the moment that I received my notice of you winning my appeal your service was beyond exceptional. My case was not an easy one, because I had waited to file an appeal which caused a very limited time frame for your firm to act. Even though your back was up against the wall you never made me feel rushed to deliver paperwork and you always kept me in the loop of how far we were along in the process. Whenever I sent an email I received an instant response. Whenever I called, someone was always available to answer my questions.

After winning my case I sent in my direct deposit info and two days later my first disability check was in my checking account. Everyone that had a hand in my case was a true professional. I cannot stress enough how service like this in today's world is just not heard of anymore.

Attorneys Dell & Schaefer really care for you as a person. You are not just a number at this firm.

If you want peace of mind and the assurance that an Attorney has your back look no further than to Dell & Schaefer. Greg Dell and his team could not have done more in calming my fears to the constant onslaught of forms and questions I received by the insurance company before I employed the services of such a great firm. Greg himself has literally called me late at night to answer questions and take care of me. I cannot thank Dell & Schaefer enough for how they have cared for me. You will never feel alone with this firm. They make you feel that you are number one.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Jay is a true professional and knows how to handle complex disability claims. The service and attention to detail provided by my team allowed me to feel confident that we would successfully appeal my claim. And we did, gaining a reversal of my denial on second appeal. Ongoing claim management is also critical and Sonia has been excellent. Chris K. Chicago, IL

I've worked with the legal profession at large for over 30 years. I've found the elements of an "A-Team" to include not only legal knowledge and prowess, but also traits such as strategic planning, response time, structured information exchange, interpersonal relation skills and personal compassion.
I can say without reservation that I have had a wonderful experience with Mr. Symonds and his capable team at Dell and Schaefer. I've found the advice to be accurate and completely timely. The support staff, particularly Vanessa Arriaga, is also above par as to her prompt and professional service.
Navigating the complexities of the claims process can be intimidating, daunting and outright frightful to say the least. Not only can the materials requested become voluminous, but the entire process can leave a person feeling overwhelmed and somewhat alone....Mr. Symonds, Ms. Arriaga and others in this "A-Team" have alleviated much of the stress and burden of this process due to their compassion, intellect, professionalism and prompt response time....and most importantly; I'm not alone!

From the very first call From Rachel I knew that I was in good hands. She was very informative and up front about all of the aspects of my case. I felt very confident about being represented by Rachel and that she would do all she could to help. She is a great attorney. Her staff and everyone else that I have had contact with at the firm is first-class.

I would recommend the firm because of the professional way I was treated and the outcome of my case thus far.

I had been on long term disability for over 10 years, with Aetna Disability Company. I had 3 heart surgeries in that time and some other pretty serious medical issues. I was very ill, during that time, seeing my physicians regularly and in and out of the hospital. It was very stressful keeping up with the vast amounts of paperwork, Physicians Attending Statements, and communicating full time with the disability company. One time, right before my Open Heart Surgery, they stopped paying my claim for 4 months, for absolutely no reason. I did get that straightened out, eventually, but we were almost homeless, in the process. I decided to consider a buyout, on my disability claim and I wanted to use a large, reputable Attorney’s Firm, to handle this negotiation and contract. I called and talked to an Attorney named Rachel Alters, who worked for Attorneys Dell and Schaefer. They had a very large Attorneys Practice and I was very comfortable using them. She was very professional, but also really compassionate, about everything I had been through. I felt like she would really be someone I could trust. It turned out the gentleman she ended up talking to, from Aetna, was someone she knew from dealing with them in the past. This made everything go so much easier, I think, but either way, Rachel is Wonderful! I would recommend her very highly, to anyone. She has my five star recommendation!

They are also a large Attorney firm and they work with people that have ERISA disability policies, so they know the ends and outs of these types of plans. They also are very prompt in getting right back with you when you contact them, I really appreciate that!

My experience with Dell & Schaefer, the attorney handling my case, Alexander Palamara, and his is paralegal, Sonia, was very positive. They kept me informed, obtain my records for me when needed and truly did work for my best interest. They also had a good sense of humor. Alex was able to reach a goal I had set for him in settling my case. The process is slow but not because of the law firm, that is just the way things are everywhere in adversarial proceedings.

I'm very happy and glad I chose Dell & Schaefer to handle my legal issues.

I am so grateful to Rachel Alters and her staff for helping me with my uncle's claim! She was amazing. This was a very difficult case, because my uncle was mentally disabled. He had failed to immediately make a claim, because he was too disabled to even do the simplest of tasks. As soon as I found out about my uncle's disability policy, I called several attorneys. They were hesitant to work with my uncle, because of the extensive work involved with backdating his claim. I then called Dell and Schaefer and it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. They patched me through to Rachel Alters and the rest is history.

She worked diligently to backdate my uncle's claim and to secure his rights to future disability payments. We still have a long road ahead of us with regards to my uncle's disability, but I am so grateful to her for securing his right to disability payments. We will be able to use this money to make sure that he gets the health care that he needs.

Disability insurance is a complex business. As an attorney myself, I can tell you that when it comes to disability insurance, you really need somebody in your corner to make sure that your rights are protected. There is nobody that I would rather have in my corner than Rachel Alters.

I was in a difficult position after being cut off by my long term disability insurance company. I lived on the west coast and went on the internet to research disability companies. I chose Dell & Schaefer Chartered in Hollywood, Florida after reading through their website and seeing that they were very highly rated.

I immediately contacted them and my case was assigned to Attorney Stephen Jessup, and his Paralegal Sonia Nogueira. I can't express how impressed I was with their speedy response and thoroughness, which eventually resulted in a satisfactory conclusion of my claim.

Throughout the process, they made it very simple to communicate back and forth. The fact that my location was on the opposite side of the country made absolutely no difference. I have many years of law enforcement experience, but Stephen and Sonia always spoke with me in a straight and simple manner without all the verbage used by some attorneys.

I highly recommend using Dell & Schaefer Chartered no matter what part of the country you live. I am very grateful to Stephen and Sonia for all of their help getting my case concluded, and appreciate their personal concern for me as the case progressed. Now I can move on with my life.

I have had a fantastic experience working with Steven Dell over the last 3 years. He helped me get my group provided DI policy approved immediately. My individual policy was denied and Steven immediately filed suit against the insurance company for breach of contract. We eventually settled the case during mediation. During this time, Steven was available 7 days a week to answer any questions I had. I had access to Steven at all times via email and personal cell phone. I spoke with Steven many times over the weekend and late evenings. I never felt like I was not able to reach him during the 3 years I worked with him. Steven is extremely knowledgeable and was professional at all times. He knew my case like the back of his hand whenever I spoke with him. Most importantly, Steven was compassionate and caring throughout my entire relationship with him. I don't believe there is another lawyer in the country who could have accomplished what Steven Dell was able to do with my case.

When we started this journey in January 2016 with the first Total Knee Replacement, which landed us with Long Term Disability and not returning to a work force at the age of 55. We knew we needed to find an attorney that would represent our needs. Started researching Attorney's online and discovered one that showed no desire to actually help our case. So, through more research and reading reviews we discovered Dell & Schaefer Law Firm. The reviews posted, were concisely what we experienced with Gregory Dell. From the very first email Greg was expeditious in his communication with us, Greg even personally called us in the evening, while on vacation I believe. It is a difficult journey going through SSDI and Long Term Disability Insurance claims with CIGNA and ADVANTAGE 2000, Gregory helped us navigate the entire way while showing empathy for our specific needs. Greg truly embraced the customer service aspect of letting us know we are important to him. Greg and his team supported our slow speed to a decision that would be right for us. We always had clear direction and guidance. Greg and his Team showed great tenacity in achieving the best possible outcome for us. We highly recommend this professional, personable TEAM of ethical attorneys to support you in your needs as well. Thank you Gregory Dell & Team.

Best attorney in the industry!
I have worked with Greg Dell for the past 10 years. He and his team have been excellent in every way! I was forced to retire early from dentistry due to arthritis in my hands. I had no idea how manipulative the disability carrier could be, and ultimately decided to have Greg help me with my claim. He has been diligent in protecting my rights and responds to me immediately when I have a question or concern. I highly recommend him and his company – 5 stars for professionalism, response time, knowledge and commitment to their clients.

This is a wonderful company! I had a professional and personable lawyer and paralegal that were my greatest advocates. I was kept well updated on my case and well advised. Great experience with Dell Schaefer. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Steven Dell made the difference with my claim. He did everything extremely well. His attention to detail was very high. He knew everything about my claim each and every time we spoke. He was caring and considerate with me though one of my hardest times of life. I could feel his sincere compassion. He was easy to talk with. He was always easy to get on the phone and his staff was great. I had a positive outcome on my claim because of Steven Dell. Thank you Steven. You are a true friend and big asset in my corner. S.M. Park City Utah

My experience with Dell and Schaefer especially Jay kantar has been a five star experience in guidance and support for all disability issues highly recommend him and law firm.

At age 52 health problems made my career as an OB/GYN impossible to continue. My doctors told me to stop practicing. I began applying on my own for benefits from my excellent long term disability insurance policies. As the process became more complicated I consulted three local attorneys, none of whom provided any helpful advice. The insurance companies sent me forms to complete, requests for doctors' reports, medical records and business records by the truckload. I began to panic that my financial future could be ruined by a misstep on my part and then contacted Dell and Schaefer. Gregory Dell called me within two hours of submitting my inquiry and demonstrated his excellent knowledge and ability navigating the mess which I found myself. I could not turn over the case to him fast enough. Best decision I ever made. He obtained a better outcome than I had thought possible. Dell and Schaefer has represented me for ten years now and my payments from every insurance company have continued uninterrupted every month. They are all knowledgeable, responsive and pleasant professionals. Make the smart decision from the start. Call Dell and Schaefer.

I am very pleased with the job done by Dell & Schaefer. From start to finish the team that worked with me was very thorough, professional and communicated with me frequently. They really took the time to understand my situation and came up with an effective strategy to win my appeal. I would not hesitate to recommend Dell & Schaefer to anyone needing this type of legal support.

Before I called Dell & Schaefer I called several law firms in my area and to my disappointment, I was unable to find a local attorney who I felt could really help me settle my long-term disability claim. I was at the end of my rope and I did not want to deal with my insurance carrier anymore because of the tactics they used throughout the years after I became sick. I was just about to give up until I discovered a Dell & Schaefer video on YouTube. I was amazed at the information presented because I felt as if they were speaking directly to me. As a result, I contacted the law firm and was able to speak to an attorney the same day.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Stephen Jessup for your professionalism and prompt way of handling my case. It is very hard to find a law firm that will educate clients on all of the logistics that lead up to the final settlement offer. I will recommend your services to anyone who has legal insurance needs in the future. I’m still in shock about my settlement. Your services have far exceeded my expectations in every way. Again, thank you for all you have done for me.

I would also like to thank Ms. Sonia R. Nogueira for your constant reassurance and for always making me feel like I could call you any time and as many times as necessary with questions. Thank you for your kindness.

I would recommend Dell & Schaefer because the attorneys are extremely knowledgeable and professional. When you call their office, they won't lead you down the dark road of the unknown...what they will do is tell you exactly what they can do for you.

Thank you.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Dell & Schaefer. I highly recommend them for anyone that needs professional representation for a disability case.

I began suffering from an illness in 2003, with a subsequent decline in my physician’s income. I began seeing a physician for help when my own self-treatment just wasn’t working. I finally decided to file a disability claim in 2005, but was distrustful of insurance companies. So I found Dell & Schaefer by a medical journal add, and made the call. At the time I felt horrible, and struggled to put together my thoughts, but Greg Dell was reassuring and sent me a folder of on-point literature and I new I had made the right decision. The next steps were all under the long-distance guidance from Greg and various other kind and sharp people at the firm.
The result was swift payment of both my disability and business overhead policies dating back to my initial point of illness. I was thrilled to have monthly payments which allowed me to resume working under partial disability status, which I did until recently when I just could no longer keep it up and took Greg’s timely advice to recently retire. I’m 58 years old and never dreamed this would happen to me but am so thankful of how much help the firm gave me with my Unum insurance carrier for all those years, especially when issues would inevitably come up. Now I am on full disability with regular monthly payments that keep my lifestyle comfortable and greatly decrease my burden of worry. Even more impressive is that Greg and his firm allowed the carrier to be at their best also, and I can’t believe I’m saying that about an insurance company. If you are on the fence about asking for legal help, do not hesitate to make the call that I did. The hourly fees were extremely fair and service was perfect all the way around (for 13 years now). Don’t try to do this on your own because it just won’t go smoothly, if at all.

After being "on-claim" for 2 years with my long term disability carrier I was notified that my claim had been terminated and that they no longer considered me disabled. After contemplating appealing the claim myself ( and wasting about 2 months of the precious 6 month window to appeal) I turned to Dell & Schaefer. Attorney Cesar Gavidia represented me and masterfully had my benefits restored in quick order and back pay awarded. At that point I felt betrayed and misled by my disability carrier and somewhat by my previous employer. I shared my sentiments with attorney Gavidia. We discussed a variety of options and chose a strategy to pursue a separation agreement that would prove amicable to all parties. After several rounds of tactful negotiation, attorney Gavidia provided me with a proposal that met my needs. I would strongly recommend Dell and Schaefer and particularly attorney Gavidia and his supporting staff for those in need of expert representation in the field of disability law and claims. I would personally choose them again if the need arose.

From day one, my dealings with both Jay Symonds and Sonia Nogueira were extremely professional. This claim was very important to me and I always felt that it was as important to your firm. Every question or concern was answered quickly. Most importantly, my claim was approved and I'm sure working with Jay and Sonia helped make that happen.

I contacted Dell & Schaefer after a thorough search for the best disability insurance attorney. There are so many out there and it's tough to know which ones will actually be there to help you. What really sealed the deal for me as I was doing this research was the fact that Dell & Schaefer shared a lot of important information freely online via Video and it was the final piece that made me pick up the phone and call them. I was directed to Alex and he gladly spent time with me (free of charge of course) to discuss my case and to give me advice.

I didn't sign up with Dell & Schaefer right away and over the period of months I called and talked to Alex on several occassions.

In my case, we weren't looking for a settlement, I was really being harassed by A***A with constant Physician Forms (monthly), hoping my doctor would get tired of filling them out and change or make a mistake on the forms so that they could cut me off from my benefits, which they did on several occassions.

My doctors stuck with me though and despite having clear cut medical reasons for my disability, the harrasment went on for years. The stress and anxiety of just dealing with them took it's toll on me physically and I knew I couldn't keep going through this.

Luckily, Dell and Schaefer can also handle all corrrespondance with the insurance company you happen to be dealing with and I knew if I didn't have to deal with this portion, it would take a huge weight off my shoulders so that's what I did.

The moment that A***A had to start dealing with my attorney Alex, forms were only issued every 6 to 12 months, and more importantly, the pressure of making sure that only the appropriate information was being answered was all taken care of by Alex and his team.

I can't tell you how much this meant to not only me, but to my wife who had to sit idly by watching how this stress of all this and my injury was draining me of life.

At one point, A***A stopped sending my payments and of course Alex and his team got right on it and sent letters to them to rectify the issue, and in short order the issues was corrected and the check was in the mail.

After about a year or so, I receive a call from Alex on my birthday and he proceeds to tell me that A***A wants to settle my claim. I was shocked because as I stated in the beginning, we weren't trying to get a settlement out of A***A, I was just looking for relief from the constant harrasment of phone calls and physicians statements 1 to 2 times a month.

Needless to say, this changed our entire life and if it weren't for Dell & Schaefer and Alex's team, this would have never happened the way that it did.

Not only is Alex and his team, complete professionals in everything they do, they really do care about their clients and go above and beyond to help you in any way that they can.

We can't thank them enough for their help and for being there when no one else seemed to care or knew how to help us. We will be forever grateful for everything you guys have done to help us through this most difficult time of our lives.

God Bless you all for what you do,

Michael

BTW, Danielle who is part of Alex's team is such a huge part of this team and I know without her help things would not have gone as smoothly as they did. I want to give a special thanks to her for all her hard work and dedication, it really is appreciated. Also, Anneli handled everything with regards to handling my monthly checks and she deserves a thank you as well. She was always ready to answer questions and to let me know when my checks were to arrive. Thank you both for everything that you handled for me, it really means a lot

27yrs. of practice, now disabled and unable to, I called Dell & Schaefer. Having Atty. Steven Dell represent me was invaluable. He and his team were professional, thorough, understanding and easy to work with. Giving me confidence and peace of mind, got me through one of the most difficult times in my life. If you have a question or need help about disability call Dell & Schaefer.

Dell and Schaefer is a law firm that provides outstanding service to their clients. In 2014 after almost 2 years of being totally disabled after numerous lung surgeries and a diagnosis of end stage lung disease, Mutual of Omaha told me I could go back to work and they would be denying my claim going forward. Being unable to work and afraid of how I was going to support my family, I searched online for help. I contacted them from their website and that same day I was contacted by an attorney to discuss my situation. The attorney, Rachel Alters, was very knowledgeable and more important to me at that time, she was kind. She helped put my mind at ease that she would do all she could to rectify my situation. When her and her wonderful support staff were done, I had an almost 200 page appeal in place and within 3 weeks of filing it with Mutual of Omaha the denial was overturned and I received a check, back paid to the first day of denial. In 2017 I became aware that part of my disability policy included a waiver of premium clause for my life insurance premiums. Again, Rachel Alters and her team took over and within 2 months I received a refund of all my life insurance premiums paid by me since 2013 and all premiums going forward were waived. Being disabled is difficult enough without having to deal with an insurance company. Having the Dell and Schaefer team, especially Rachel Alters and Katherine Bordes behind me makes dealing with my severe heath issues much easier.. I HIGHLY recommend them!!

Finding a reliable law firm is a big decision. You won't be disappointed. Dell and Schaefer has and continues to be a lifesaver in ensuring reciept of my disability benefits. Reliable, prompt, compassionate and reasonable representation. Do yourself a favor secure representation, well worth it. Can't thank them enough for fighting for me. You won't feel alone and this firm will level the playing field against the insurance company. They handled everything and are there for every step and question. There web site is a wealth of information and their experience is worth it. Read, inform yourself than CALL !

Just had an excellent experience with this firm. Alex and Vanessa, who handled my case, returned phone calls and email questions promptly. Not once did I feel dismissed or brushed aside. Even when I panicked about my case they never made me feel foolish and instead they reassured me and were understanding. They always treated me with respect. Very happy that I found Dell & Schaefer.

I had an excellent experience with Greg Dell. He is a talented, knowledgeable, experienced, and professional attorney who stayed on top of my issue & got it resolved very quickly. Calls & emails were returned almost immediately. I highly recommend this law firm, they are definitely committed to providing a high level of service to their clients!!
5 STARS all the way!!

Dell & Schaefer treated my disability case with the utmost skill and got the result as promissed.

I'm a physician who became disabled by a sudden and unexpected medical condition. I was desperate and bewildered by all the complications and paperwork necessary to process my claim.
Finally I met Gregory Dell and it was like the sun coming out after a storm!.
Everybody at the firm took immediate care of my case. Mr. Dell and his assistant Anneli secured my benefits and handled every aspect and detail in a perfect manner, and they continue to do the same to this day.
The firm have exceeded my expectations by a long margin and I recommend them with no reservations to anyone who is in this situation.

When I reached out to Dell and Schaefer, I was extremely scared. My insurance company had just closed my case without notice. The moment I spoke to Rachel Alters I knew she was going to fight for me. Rachel and her team were very supportive through the process. They were always available for me, to answer questions or just to talk through my case. I always feel they are battling hard for me and my family each day. I want to thank Rachel, Danielle and everyone else who worked hard for me.

I had an excellent experience working with the team at Dell & Schaefer!

Ms Rachel Alters & her assistant Sonia Nogueira kept me updated on the status of my appeal on a regular basis & provided same day responses to my email inquiries, often calling to explain certain details that may have been too overwhelming otherwise. They were respectful, professional & extremely patient with me. Rachel was very clear & confident in our conversations & effective in communications with my physicians during the course of documenting my condition.

My case involved a 10-year disability income stream that was suddenly & unexpectedly terminated. The financial situation it created & future uncertainty left me very stressed, so having such an experienced professional representing me was a huge comfort. I am very pleased & grateful that Ms Alters won my appeal. I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted!

I found Dell & Schaefer online after unsuccessful attempts to find a local attorney that was familiar with ERISA disability plans & qualified to get terminated benefits reinstated. My situation was unique in the fact that I had already been receiving LTD benefits for almost 10 years, but was suddenly being told by the insurance company that my diagnosis no longer qualified for coverage.

When I found the Dell & Schaefer site I watched a few videos, read a few articles & KNEW that if anyone had a chance at getting my LTD benefits back, it was them. I called a number on the website & the person who answered "got it" & understood that my sudden termination of benefits deserved a second look. They made some notes, took my name & number. I was amazed to find a missed call & voice mail received from Rachel Alters that day / evening. She tells you what you need to hear, even if it is not necessarily what you want to hear at the time.

Rachel is direct, knowledgeable & compassionate. In my case, there was very sensitive material in my medical files, however it did not feel awkward for Rachel & her assistant Sonia (Nogueira) to have that information. They did not judge my neurological limitations or exasperated stress level. They took all of my concerns seriously & did not condescend...

And most importantly of all, WE WON!

Thank you

After working with another attorney whom I believe did not work hard enough for me, losing twice to the insurance company, I found a top attorney at Dell & Schaefer. From the beginning, I felt more comfortable. My questions were answered, I was kept in the loop step by step, and I was very pleased with the outcome. This is a very professional firm with high quality attorneys that are very knowledgeable in their field.

I turned to Dell & Schaefer during a very difficult time in my life. I had been denied by my long term disability insurance despite having had being declared medically disabled by my doctor. I was at a total loss as to what to do and where to turn. From the first phone call I made from an intake person to the final steps with my attorney Alex was amazing. They provided me with a beacon of hope, and incredible amounts of information. They explained everything, held my hand when it needed to be held and fought for me every step of the way. My insurance turned out to be horrible despite having paid into it for 20years, and Alex fought and won a settlement for me despite their inhumane policies.
Every staff member at Dell & Schaefer was kind and supportive. I could not ask for a better and more positive experience even if I had not gotten a settlement. If I ever need an attorney again, I would never hesitate to contact Dell & Schaefer and recommend them to everyone who needs an attorney!

As with anyone who finds themselves empty handed and lost as it becomes apparent long term disability is their only means for income and support for their family, the web searches become unbelievably daunting on what firm could properly represent you and your case. It was extremely important to me I found a firm who had not only won against my private LTD policy, but had also won cases concerning my disease and the extraordinary challenges that accompany it. Dell & Schaefer fit those requirements on paper, and only affirmed through the roof they were the law firm for me. They are some of the most compassionate individuals I could have ever had the chance to work with, and from day 1 to the end, 14 months later they always treated me, just as me. I wasn't a disability case, or a chronically ill patient, but someone who should feel and be empowered to fight for what I am rightfully owed. Their experience fighting cases shows, and I never once questioned hiring an attorney versus fighting the appeals myself. I would recommend Dell & Schaefer without hesitation to anyone I know.

I would recommend Attorneys Dell & Schaefer because of their breadth of cases won, and for differing workers comp issues, and disabilities. There is very little if anything this law firm can't handle, and if they couldn't, I know they would be the first to be honest and refer someone to the absolute best. The entire staff is extremely professionalism and extraordinarily responsive. All of that you can find in time at another firm, but you can't find how Attorneys Dell & Schaefer makes you feel, like the person you were before disability, and through disability - we are so much more than the sum of our claim, and every day the staff rests their hat to keep that character instilled in all they do.

I've been working with Mr. Dell for over 10 years. One of the best law firms I've ever dealt with. Honest.. Smart and knows how to give good advice.

I can’t Thank Rachel and her helpful Legal assistant Machal , my disability case was stopped by the Insurance company on Veterans Day 2016 so at that point I was in a state of Panic, Christmas Time and rent due with no Money, Stupid me did each level of administrative appeal and no matter how much medical proof I submitted, in turn Cigna kept playing Games and saying that if I submit an updated MRI, My case would spin around. Finally in January I said no more games and I called Dell and Schaefer, Instantly I was on the Phone with Rachel Alters and gave her the details, from that moment I was more relaxed, One big help was I scanned and emailed the case, that saved 3 extra weeks in the mail, Anyone reading this and is sick and tired of getting Letters from the Disability Company with mandatory office notes, Please call Dell and Schaffer and ask for Rachel, it shows with her attention to detail and concern for her clients. My advice to future clients Please keep as much paper work as possible, that definitely is a help with the attorneys, the Ball rolls faster if they have what's needed.

I contacted D&S regarding my claim with Liberty Mutual. I was out on disability for 11 years and was helped to get back on claim. It was nice to have their guidance helping me all the way especially when Liberty did not send all records and delayed the date. Everyone responded quickly and we got the claim resolved on the first round. Thank you!

After developing a debilitating disorder which left me unable to perform my duties as a dentist I had to begin the process of filing a disability insurance claim with three different disability insurance companies. I managed to secure two of the policies on my own but the group policy I had with Sunlife kept giving me the run around refusing to pay out. I soon realized I needed to find a disability attorney and that the insurance companies did not have my best interests.
After talking with a few different firms I decided to go with Dell and Schaefer. From the start the secretaries, record keeping, and Attorney Greg Dell worked diligently on my case and within a few weeks we got a letter that the claim would be paid. I soon realized that this was one of the best decisions I had ever made.
Since hiring Attorney Dell almost 5 years ago things have run very smooth. He is thorough and very good at getting things accomplished in a professional and timely manner. He is a pleasure to speak to and always makes time for his clients. The staff has been very helpful and always willing to answer any questions.
When companies want to meet with me, Attorney Dell takes care of setting it up and makes sure that I always have some form of representation whether via phone or in person. I only have good things to say about this firm. They allowed my family and I to not have to worry about financial stress while going through this difficult time in our lives.
Thank you Greg, Anneli, Carolyn, and the rest of the team for being there for us. They are the best at what they do!

I just want to take a moment to tell you of the very positive experience I have had with Gregory Dell and his handling of my disability case. I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Mr. Dell every step of the way. Throughout my case he has always been very quick to respond, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours and was always patient in explaining the status and developments in my case.

After my claim was denied I was at a standstill. Not knowing what to do next, I happened upon Dell & Schaefer on an Internet search...skeptically I investigated and did due diligence. After initial contact, I firmly realized it was in my best interest to have Dell & Schaefer represent me. Throughout the appeal process, my emails were answered, my phone calls were returned and there was no such thing as a stupid question. It was a complicated case and my confidence was positive throughout the appeal experience. After several months I was put back on claim and there is no question I could not have done this without Dell & Schaefer's excellent and fair representation.

Clear and concise explanations of procedures. Attention to details ( that I have no clue about...) Level of expertise is exceptional.

Rachel always kept me informed about my chances of getting LTD with my MS. She understood my claim, answered any questions and represented me at any meetings I had with MetLife so I felt comfortable and at ease. Sonia was also on top of my claim and was the person I corresponded with and she was clear and understandable.

I got Dell & Schaefer involved right from the beginning so my experience didn’t have the issues that I read others went through.

I recommend Dell & Schaefer to anyone who is going thru the disability process.

For those reading these reviews I came across greg thru another attorney located in N.Y. I am a healthcare professional for over 35 years who has undergone many procedures both orthopedic and vascular in nature and was on disability, finding myself suddenly dropped in 6/2019 by unum my disability carrier and one that I deem not only horrible and apathetic , its only motives are to make its investor's happy, regardless of it's patients medical conditions to whom they serve. I called Gregory and spoke to his assistant vanessa first , who was not only cordial and professional but showed nothing but empathy till this day. Greg took my case after my initial appeal was denied which I did , and it was quickly overturned by Greg's astute understanding of the law and backed by my treating physicians. Greg has been such a savior in many more ways then I can communicate, and anyone needing the service of a LTD atty I would say , dont waste your time on other attorney interviews because greg is your guy...In closing, I can use anyone , but greg is not only good in what he does, he is empathetic, returns calls immediately and truly cares about his clients. LAST WORD!! Use GREG DELL

I first retained Steven Dell in 2017 for help with an insurance claim; without going in to too much detail we all know the reason we need to hire an experienced law firm and words can not express my gratitude to this firm.

From the beginning, Steven relieved the stress and uncertainty about my future. Steven was so patient in explaining the process to me and I am a very impatient person...

We all know the insurance company does everything to make your life miserable but Steven and his team set my mind at ease explaining everything; I was always kept in the loop of how far we were along in the process and all the next steps. Whenever I sent an email I received a response that day-usually within an hour.

Towards the end I got to meet his son Greg who helped with my claim. Both worked together so hard and was fun to watch a father/son combination that was so dedicated to helping me-my life has been forever changed in a positive way because of this firm.

From the bottom of my heart I can't thank this firm enough for all they have done for me and highly highly recommend them to anyone who needs help with their insurance claim. Thank you again Dell and Schaefer!

I am pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Mr. Steven Dell for his assistance with the disability process. He has been extremely helpful and very knowledgeable throughout my claim. His experience is invaluable and he was readily available. I am glad I chose him to help me.

I have worked with Greg Dell and his law firm for more than 20 years. I have always received great service and anything I need is taken care of right away. I have referred many friends and family members to the firm.

Dell guided me through the MetLife long-term disability process for my private insurance. Dell was extremely knowledgeable and made sure everything worked out. I got the correct ruling from MetLife. Highly recommend him!

I retained Dell and Shaefer’s law firm for my long term disability case management over 12 months ago.
I am usually not one to write reviews on attorneys ; as my experiences in the past .. although not many .. have not been great.

However, I truly cannot say enough good things about their firm. I am going through one of the most difficult mental and medical times of my life. I have received nothing but kindness, compassion and prompt responses to any questions or concerns I ever have about my case. Gregory Dell one of the owners has written me himself after hours to answer my questions and to reassure me on various aspects of my case. I honestly don’t know any other attorney who takes the time to do that.
His entire staff , his paralegals , my other attorney on his team are all so incredibly helpful.

I recommend their services to anyone who needs help navigating the incredibly difficult world on long term disability insurance claims. I never thought I would need to use my policy or have the medical issues I am currently dealing with. However, I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to have such a wonderful team of attorneys and staff helping me every step of the way.
They have amazing testimonials on their site and I can tell you from my experience .. they are all true. I am truly grateful for their service.

I am pleased to say Daniel Villalobos and his Legal Assistant Renee were a great team to work with. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. I would definitely recommend Dell & Schaefer.

As a Personal Injury lawyer I use experts all the time. Based on my personal experience, I can easily say that Steven Dell is one of the best experts I have ever employed. He is extremely knowledgeable and employs an exceptional staff. I rarely say this but in this case it is true, Dell & Schaefer exceeded my expectations. I would unequivocally recommend them to any professional with a disability insurance claim or question.

Gregory Dell and his wonderful staff provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to every detail of my disability claim. Any call or concern was answered very promptly and I highly recommend law firm of Dell and Schaefer for all of your disability claim needs

Thank you for your help. The advice I received was exactly what I was looking for. I feel confident having you as my go to law firm.

I have been extremely impressed working with Steven Dell on my disability claim. He has been completely professional throughout the entire process. I first realized this in our initial contact when he very clearly reviewed what information he would require from me and how he might be able to help in the process. This was confirmed during a follow up call after he had reviewed the copious documents I had forwarded. He had assimilated my complicated medical history and had a strong understanding of the cogent issues. He has been forthright in his advice which has been very effective. It has been very reassuring to me to have a competent and caring professional in my court to help assure my rights in this matter. I can recommend Steven Dell without reservation for legal advice regarding a disability claim

I have been extremely impressed with the Law Firm of Dell & Schaefer.

I submitted a form online and was contacted immediately by Mr. Jay Symonds. I explained my disability and the issues I was experiencing with my Long Term Disability Insurance and Mr. Symonds immediately confirmed why Dell & Schaefer was the perfect choice for me.

I explained my situation and what I had experienced with LTD and Mr. Symonds immediately shared with me what he could do for me and for the first time in months, I felt at ease with what I was going through.

Mr. Symonds immediately contacted the insurance company and was able to achieve in 1 day what I hadn’t been able to achieve in Months!!

To say that Mr Symonds was my guardian angel would be an understatement. His knowledge and expertise enabled me to focus on the treatment that I needed.

His staff was always very friendly and my questions were always answered in a timely manner.

Throughout this journey, Mr. Symonds and his staff have become like family to me with their support and compassion.

Mr. Symonds and Sonia Nogueira have shown empathy, respect and concern for my medical condition.

It was refreshing to see my team of Legal Experts take immediate action when the Insurance Company continued to try and bypass the process.

I could not have found a better team to represent me and I will always be thankful for their knowledge and expertise.

I have nothing but tremendous respect for the office staff employed at the firm of Dell & Schaefer. Sonia always ensured my calls and emails were returned in a timely manner and were always available to answer any questions I might have. When you receive an answer to your questions on a weekend, you know you have made the right choice!!

I was a police officer for over 14 years with the same agency. I was hurt on duty and suffered career-ending injuries. I applied for long term disability and was approved but after two years I was denied based on the verbiage in the policy. My family was without any income coming in and I couldn't believe I was in this situation. I came across a video online with Gregory Dell and Stephen Jessup speaking about this very issue. I called Dell & Schaefer and they immediately started working on my case. Steven Jessup worked on my appeal letter and within six weeks of submitting the appeal letter the denial was reversed. Every team member that I had contact with was so helpful and so professional. Gregory Dell and Stephen Jessup treated me with civility and respect like I've never experienced. I have a bad habit of thinking of questions late at night or on the weekends. When I thought of a question I would send it in an email and I would always get a response within the hour no matter the time or day. I thank God for guiding me to Dell & Schaefer and I thank Dell & Schaefer for their knowledge and experience.

Discovering you are disabled and no longer able to do a job you love or do any work at all is quite traumatic. During this confusing time, it is invaluable to have someone navigate the path towards receiving your disability benefits. Greg Dell of Dell and Schaefer provided me with this much needed assistance. His experience was obvious in his approach to putting together the claim and the questions he asked about my job and medical issues. My emails were answered promptly and telephone conferences made it feel as if I had hired an attorney from my city rather than a few states away. Had I handled the claim personally or through a less experienced attorney, I am confident the outcome would not have been as positive. In the course of my professional career, there are few individuals I could recommend as strongly as I do Greg Dell of Dell and Schaefer. He will expertly guide you through the disability claim process.

My experience is as such, I suffer from a variety of mental health issues the biggest being severe PTSD. When I had lost all hope the Good Lord guided my to Dell n Schaefer. My assigned Lawyer, Stephen Jessup, was the most understanding and compassionate human being I had come across sense my breakdown. He not only guided me legally but his kind words and understanding helped me spiritually as well. His co-worker Sonia was a heaven send as well. Her kind words and prompt responses were amazing. Both Stephen and Sonia will never understand how blessed I am that they came in to my life at my darkest hour. Their work ethic and rigorous efforts towards my case gave me not only a win but it gave me Justice and at the end of the day that's all I wanted. I went in to this case with legal counsel and I left this with great friends. I was always informed, spoken to with the utmost respect and sincere compassion. If you are reading this review and are suffering from mental health issues as severe as mine you will understand completely when I say not only did they win my case but they saved my life.

God bless you all at the Dell and Schaefer family. You have not only given me Justice but you have also given me hope!

Thank you

They were send still are here for me in dealing with Unum Disability. I have complete faith in them and their ability to get me a buyout offer.

Greg Dell and his legal team first represented me in 2003. Since that time Greg has always been there for me and the level of service he provides is always

I would recommend Attorneys Dell & Schaefer to anyone without reservation. I was a dentist for 25 years and became physically unable to care for my patients. I had three different policies through two disability companies. They fought paying me at every turn though I had paid premiums for 20 years. Greg Dell professionally countered every move they made to get out of paying. I am glad to say I now receive my full benefits from two of the policies and won a lawsuit for a lump sum on the third. If you require help fighting an insurance company, you could not be in more competent hands.

Gregory Dell has represented me for over ten years now, and he has been an Absolute Godsend!!! True to his original promise, he has gone above and beyond from the beginning to fight for me and protect me from insurance company approval delays and potential harassment, in order to get me the maximum disability benefits to which I am entitled....Stress and worry-free!!! Now I can focus on my health, and I have the security of knowing that I will be financially taken care of during this very challenging time... It’s MIRACULOUS!!! Greg was recommended to me by his peers as the “The Foremost Disability Attorney in the Country”, which is TRUE to this day.. Why? Because he is not only a Brilliant expert in his field, but he truly CARES about his clients, and he has a Heart for the unexpected health and lifestyle challenges they are facing. That is HUGE! When I relocated to another state, I was so impressed when Greg personally researched and found the Absolute Best Primary Physician for me - also new to the area - who now has become the most highly sought-after Doc within the local medical community. He is Top in his field , he truly Cares, and he takes a Personal Interest in the welfare of his patients.... An exact MIRROR of Greg! You can rest assured that Greg and his highly-professional, compassionate staff will assist you every step of the way as they service your claim over the long-haul with excellence and integrity, to ensure that you will receive the full benefits you deserve - efficiently, seamlessly and on time! They are a Joy to work with and have given me the Peace of Mind of knowing that my financial future is secure...Thank You so much, Greg AND Anneli! I am So Grateful
and You are So AWESOME!!!

I've been a client for about 2 years, if I could give this firm 10 stars I would! I am working with Cesar and Michal. Yes, they won my case. Yes, they are 100% knowledgeable, capable, efficient and organized. My experience has been so much more than a transactional relationship. They treat you like family, and truly have your best interest at heart. The genuine care and compassion I received was completely unexpected when I first became a client. I didn't realize attorneys were so kind. This level of service has remained for the past 2 years. Any question or concern I have had, each person takes the time to explain everything until I feel comfortable. Being a person with disabilities and needing extra attention in certain areas does not stop them from exhibiting patience with me. I never feel rushed or feel like my issues are not valid. To me, having someone on my side I can trust and who's heart is in the right place is important. Don't hesitate, hire this firm today, you won't regret it!

CIGNA LTD
Represented by Stephen Jessup.
He is a consummate professional. Responsive, punctual, knowledgable!
It was a pleasure dealing with him.
I got the result I was looking for. THANK YOU!

I'll never forget how powerless I felt when I called my disability insurance company (that I had been paying premiums to for years) to inform them that I would be filing a disability claim, and heard the person on the other end of the phone say "We're not here as a substitute for employment!". At that moment I knew that I would probably need a lawyer at some point, and unfortunately I was not wrong.

After speaking with various lawyers who I did not feel were committed enough or experienced enough with private disability cases, I finally found Dell and Schaefer. I had a conference with their lawyers who demonstrated their acumen and took the time to understand the particulars of my case. Once I contracted with them they immediately got to work to make sure my disability payments continued while my case was being appealed. They were always available, and made me feel like their most important client and my case was their most important case. I felt like they were with me every step of the way, and allowed me the luxury of knowing that there was someone looking out for my rights and would fight until my case was won (they did). I recommend Dell and Schaefer to anyone who needs a law firm experienced in handling personal disability cases. They will make sure your voice is heard and your rights are asserted.

I have worked with Dell & Schaefer on many cases and their attorneys are all very knowledgeable and passionate about fighting for their clients. I highly recommend them.

As an attorney, I can confidently say that Dell and Schaefer handled my disability claims knowledgeably and professionally. And, they successfully obtained the best possible results.
Stephen Jessup, Esq. and his team were responsive and proactive throughout the entire process.
The firm has well-established working relationships with insurance companies, that enable them
to work most effectively for their clients.
Their legal fees and costs are reasonably priced. Based on my experience with Mr. Jessup and the firm, I would highly recommend the them for disability insurance claims.

From the beginning to the end...we were treated with dignity and respect. The Attorney and his paralegal were always courteous and professional. Their responses and consultations were always well thought out and they were always considerate and sensitive of our time and circumstances. I would recommend anyone who has had difficulty in obtaining unresolved issues, related to applications or processes, with Long-Term Disability claims to contact the staff of Dell & Schaefer. We have been extremely pleased with the outcome and resolution of our case. Their efforts have been top notch and second to none. Thanks again for All your help and concern managing my case. Many Thanks and blessings to You and Yours!
Their professionalism and candid discussions eased my mind as we went through this process. Being sick and going through this with them helped me through a very difficult time. Their actions and speech were very caring towards us. They are very helpful in walking us through what has been such a stressful time.

Represented by Stephen Jessup, we were battling a disability claim. I have no doubt that this company will work hard to get the best outcome. Their support and follow through is exemplary and other disability insurance companies should follow their customer support strategy. I am very confident in Stephen recommendations because he is very candid and does not shade the topic.

Look, I did my research before choosing Dell & Schaefer and everyone should do their due diligence in finding a good disability insurance company. I can only tell about you my experience and I have no doubt that after reviewing this company and comparing others you will be inclined to choose Dell & Schaefer. I recommend them.

Great experience. Knowledgeable. Caring, Compassionate. Excellent attorneys.

The best decision I ever made about my disability claim! During what is a very, very difficult and life changing situation there's nothing better than having the best attorneys in the business working for you and watching your back.

They provided a great service to me!!!

I was made redundant by my ex-employer in October 2018, six days after I sent them a sick note when they discovered I had Multiple Sclerosis. I'm a US and Irish citizen but unfortunately I live in the state of Georgia which is an at-will state. Stephen Jessup at Disability Attorneys took my case. Initially, I was charged a retainer fee and Stephen believed I had a case. He was excellent to deal with and was very knowledgable about my case. He convinced me to send my original sick note on to him and this became the 'date' of the initiation of my illness. It's now April 2019 and I have LTD. It's been a 'long road' but Stephen was with me every step of the way. I didn't believe Stephen initially but now I'm convinced with my LTD award letter in front of me!
Kathy his assistant scanned and emailed me important information from my LTD insurer. As I had returned back to Ireland throughout this whole episode, this was very useful to me. Having got LTD now, I'm relieved which has made dealing with my MS more tolerable.
It's my first time dealing with a US attorney and may I say it's been excellent.

Having Greg Dell as my advocate the past 7 years has given me the invaluable peace of mind that comes with being represented by the best. I am convinced he will go to any length to protect my benefits. During our first conversation in 2012, he spent 15 minutes asking me question after question. I could tell he was building an understanding not only of my case, but of me as a person. Near that time Unum decided to halve my benefits for flimsy reasons. Greg pounced like a lion on prey - quickly and viciously. He immediately returned Unum’s half check making it clear in capital letters (literally) that we would not accept it. His scathing letter demonstrated a thorough knowledge of my case, the law, and even arcane medical coding which proved the number of operations I performed yearly (I am a surgeon). He made it very clear he was prepared to go in front of a judge any time, using such terms as “breach of contract.” Unum reversed its decision in 24 hours, and I have been receiving full benefits ever since. I don’t think there is any question: Unum would rather spend its time and money going after some other benefits recipient than one who has the protective shell Greg Dell provides.

I have used this firm and they provide excellent legal advice and they got me a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Would definately recommend them and use them again.

My D&S experience spanned over 7 years and it was in one word “Relief”. A fantastic relief. Why relief? Because dealing with my disability insurance company was nightmarish and D&S instantly relieved me of all the worry.

From the very first conversation I had with Greg Dell, on a Sunday I believe, thru his help, he and his most competent team including sttorney Alex Palamara, and staff members Danielle Lauria, and Anneli De-Cardenas, they all helped in removing the proverbial 800 pound gorilla off my shoulders. Greg and Alex spent an initial, and draining, 3 hours listening in via long distance speaker phone while an expert insurance investigator grilled me on an in-home interview. I have to admit, before phoning Greg Dell, I was terrified.......capital T Terrified. This was after they had filmed me on two separate occasions months earlier. The Private Eye (PI) even followed me thru Walmart, cameras on!!

Folks, they were trying to catch me doing something-anything outside the limits of my disability. They don’t want to pay you!! That's the bottom line. My D&S attorneys told me from the start, be honest when you talk to the insurance company people on that interview. I did and from that interview and beyond, D&S handled everything regarding my policy. I was able to sleep at night knowing I had expert representation. Everything from my disability company went through my D&S attorney and their staff. This was a huge burden, relieved!

I "highly" recommend D&S because I know there are legitimately disabled people, like me, who haven’t a clue on how to deal with an insurance company, with expert investigators at their disposal, looking for ways NOT to pay. D&S represent. They know this business. They provide expert counsel. Watch the Greg Dell situational videos available online at YouTube. Just Google “Greg Dell Attorney videos YouTube”, and they’ll pop up. Good info and you’ll get a calming feeling watching Greg Dell operate. He’s a true professional at what he does.

D&S attorneys and staff will not only act as your disability attorneys, but they also empathize with you, with their clients. They show compassion. They’re accessible. They’re very reasonable in their fees. Trust me, they were worth every penny.

I recommend D&S, so that others in the same boat as I was can feel relaxed and know that the entire D&S organization has your back and will go to battle for you when necessary.

D&S were absolutely wonderful, ALL very approachable, and all true friends for life.

Our go to Firm for client referrals in the area of disability insurance.

The outcome of my case was excellent and I have referred many friends and family to the law firm. Great service and very responsive on everything I have ever needed.

As an attorney I have worked with Greg Dell and his law firm on many disability insurance claims over the past 15 years. All of the clients I have referred have always been very happy with the legal services and the results obtained. Dell and Schaefer is my go to disability insurance law firm.
