I hired McKennon Law Group PC in March 2018 after my long-term disability insurer wrongfully terminated my LTD benefits.  I searched through multiple attorneys locally where I live in Minnesota, but none of them matched the qualifications or professionalism I saw or received through the McKennon firm.  During my due diligence in looking for the right lawyers, I had called multiple law firms and talked to numerous people.  However, with those other firms I was not permitted to even speak with an attorney regarding my claim.  When I called the McKennon Law Group PC, my call was promptly answered by an attorney.  I felt I was not just another client or statistic for their office.  I was a person whom they would personally work hard for and represent respectfully. 
 
I have Meniere’s disease.  It is a very difficult disease to understand.  After explaining to the McKennon lawyers what had happened with my claim, they immediately began gathering information.  Any time I had a question, the lawyers personally answered my call or email promptly.  Knowing the difficulties of my complex claim, they still took it on.  They stuck through it and dissected my denial with a “fine-tooth comb,” making thorough, well-reasoned, expert legal and factual arguments on appeal.  Their dedication led to the insurer overturning its denial and granting my administrative appeal.  We never had to litigate or file a lawsuit.  I credit that to their thorough attention to detail in contesting the denial and explaining my complex medical records.  I am now back on claim and cannot thank Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen enough.
 
I am from Minnesota.  Don’t let distance deter you.  I never met Robert and Joe face-to-face.  But they were always available by phone and email.  Their hard work, expertise, excellence and dedication to their clients was always evident. Thank you, Robert and Joe, for sticking to my claim and giving me back a bit of peace of mind through this difficult process.

You want them on your team. I had a disability insurance claim and the McKennon Law Group did an excellent job of managing the process, protecting my rights, and explaining everything so I could understand and make good decisions.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group. They were successful in getting my LTD benefits reinstated.

Bob and his team worked miracles for us. My husband’s case was particularly complicated due to his young age and relatively unknown illness, but McKennon Law Group PC never wavered in their commitment to getting his long-term disability insurance payments reinstated. They literally changed our lives for the better. You will not find a more trust-worthy, hard-working, client-centered firm, so do yourself a favor: save precious time and call them. Now.

Following my divorce and losing custody of my two young boys, I suffered from severe depression and daily panic attacks. I just could not concentrate enough to perform my job duties as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. After my group insurer, MetLife, terminated my long-term disability benefits, I set out to find the best, most experienced ERISA disability lawyers that I could. I hired the McKennon Law Group PC. They were exceptional at every step of the litigation process. I give Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen my most stellar review, and I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone with a denied disability insurance claim. They were thoroughly prepared for mediation and filed two top-notch motions on my behalf when the case did not settle. I was really impressed with the quality and amount of work they did. They made the whole process relatively painless for me. Best of all, they were able to recover all my disability benefits for me without ever having to go to trial. My deep gratitude to Bob and Joe for all their help and hard work.

I was unable to continue working due to rheumatoid arthritis. I filed a long-term disability claim with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, but the company invoked the ERISA Plan’s pre-existing condition provision to deny my claim. After hiring the McKennon Law Group, they quickly reviewed the language of my group disability plan, and realized that Guardian misapplied the pre-existing condition provision. The McKennon Law Group sent a letter to Guardian, explaining the company’s error. Eventually, Guardian admitted that it misapplied the provision, reversed its denial decision, reinstated my claim, paid me past-due benefits and I am being paid all current and future benefits owed to me. I am so thankful that I hired a firm with attorneys so knowledgeable in ERISA and insurance issues that they were able to quickly identify Guardian’s error in interpreting its own policy. I cannot thank the Firm enough for its hard work and I recommend the McKennon Law Group to anyone who has an unfair insurance claim denial, especially a wrongful ERISA disability claim denial.

They are "Miracle Workers".

Robert McKennon & Scott Calvert represented my claim for unpaid benefits that was 17 years old.

Other firms said "The Statute of Limitations" makes your claim unenforceable.

Robert & Scott took their personal time to read my policy and documentation which was more than 50 pages.

They concluded that the insurance company had an obligation to pay those benefits as an exception to the Statute of Limitations.

They attempted to amicably settle with the insurance company and were denied.

They immediately filed a lengthy lawsuit.

Their legal knowledge and determination to represent my best interests resulted in a "miracle settlement", which I am very pleased with.

I live more than 100 miles away from their offices and had no problems working with them over the phone & via E-mail.

You cannot find a better firm to protect you and your families interest than McKennon Law.

I was earning a substantial income as the Assistant Vice President of Corporate Accounts for a global company, but two spine surgeries left me with unrelenting, debilitating low back pain such that I could no longer work. I filed a long-term disability claim with my group insurer who ultimately denied my disability claim. I then set out to find the best lawyers in California to handle my denied insurance claim. On the recommendation of a few co-workers that were extremely satisfied with their work on other ERISA long-term disability insurance cases, I hired the McKennon Law Group PC to aggressively fight my group long-term disability insurer. They did not disappoint. Contacting them was the best decision I could have made. After my ERISA appeal was denied, they filed a lawsuit in federal court against my insurer. Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen’s advice, tenacity, passion, commitment to my case and legal insight were invaluable. I appreciate that they were always available to answer my questions in a timely, thoughtful and skillful manner. Best of all, they were able to settle my case at mediation for a substantial sum without ever having to go to trial. My deep appreciation to Bob and Joe for all their hard work. I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone with a denied disability insurance claim.

I was forced to stop working as a dentist due to pain in my left wrist caused by De Quervain’s tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, which left me incapable of performing basic dental procedures. I filed a long-term disability claim with one of the largest insurers in the United States, which was initially accepted. While I was receiving disability benefits, my insurer conducted surveillance and saw me going to my dental office in order to complete paperwork and supervise my employees. The insurer then wrongfully accused me of working and terminated my disability benefits. I knew I needed to hire the best disability insurance lawyers in California. After lots of research, I found McKennon Law Group PC. Thankfully, McKennon Law Group knew key lawyers in the insurer’s law department and was able to convince my insurer to offer a generous lump sum settlement in exchange for a surrender of my policy so that I would never have to deal with them again. Robert and David did a wonderful job and without their knowledge and the firm’s strong reputation for getting denied insurance claims paid, I would not have been able to recover my badly needed disability benefits. I cannot thank them enough. I strongly recommend them to any policyholder seeking to hold an insurance company responsible for their policy obligations. Bita T.

The most dedicated and professional and experienced lawyers you will ever come across.      They represented me in a life ins case when my daughter was killed in a tragic accident. Her employer and insurer unfairly denied her life ins benefits. I didnt have the heart to fight this because i needed to grieve. Mckennon law group ...Scott Calvert, Stephanie Talaveri and Robert Mckennon were so genuinely compassionate and dedicated to fight the ins company for us.  They are very experienced with ins and you wouldnt be able find another firm that could represent you better than them.

We came to the McKennon Law Group PC after our daughter, only age 21 tragically died in a car accident. Our daughter worked part-time in addition to her full-time course load at college, but we did not know if her part-time work, with summers spent performing full-time work, qualified her for life and accidental death insurance benefits. As beneficiaries of our daughter’s life and accident policy, we filed claims for these insurance benefits through our daughter’s employer-sponsored life insurance ERISA plan. After working with the insurer and her former employer for months, the insurer denied our claims. We were shocked and dismayed and knew we had to find the best life insurance lawyers in California. We did our research and found the McKennon Law Group PC. Bob and Stephanie fought so hard for us, every step of the way. Ultimately, they filed an ERISA lawsuit on our behalf and within a month the insurer and the employer paid 100% of our daughter’s death benefits, with interest and 100% of our attorney’s fees (an amount in the six-figures). This allowed us to keep 100% of the life insurance benefits. McKennon Law Group PC’s lawyers truly cared about our case from beginning to end, providing excellent service all along, and we are so grateful. Thank you so much for bringing us some justice for our daughter.

In June of 2017, my long-term disability benefits were wrongfully terminated by Cigna.  This was devastating to me as I am truly disabled and had no other source of income.   I knew I needed representation to file an appeal.  Through recommendations from friends and other attorneys I knew, I contacted 6 different ERISA law offices.  Either I was given the run around for weeks/months on end or no response to my request for representation at all. This was a big waste of valuable time since there was a deadline to file an appeal.  By chance, I found the McKennon Law Group through a web search.  I called expecting the same ordeal I had been through so many times prior.  I'm so thrilled that phone call was the exact opposite of my prior experiences.  Mr. McKennon answered that first call I made and took the time to discuss my case right then and there.  I immediately felt relief that I was finally dealing with a highly skilled, attentive attorney.  After I agreed to their terms, the McKennon Law Group hit the ground running since my deadline to appeal was quickly approaching.  If I contacted their office during business hours, there was not a single time I did not receive a same-day response from Mr. McKennon and/or Mr. Rankin.  Their diligence and knowledge led to my benefits termination being reversed.  Being disabled is a huge challenge in and of itself.  Add constant harassment and reprehensible benefit denial from a disability insurance company (that is supposed to help one through such a difficult time) to that mix and you have a complete nightmare on your hands.  I'm so grateful the arduous journey I went through to find representation, ultimately, led me to the McKennon Law Group.  Now, I can finally breathe easily and carry on with recovering.  I can't thank the McKennon Law Group enough for making that possible.

I was so ill and couldn’t even fill out the paper work for my disability claim. The McKennon Law Group was so amazing and supportive. Highly recommended for their expertise, hard work and compassion. They truly help their clients in their greatest time of need.

My experience with Robert McKennon was about a stellar as you could ask for from an attorney. After retaining Robert for my case, I became more and more impressed with his handling of my lawsuit, his knowledge of caselaw and his citations in all of the filings and moreover his reputation with all of the other legal teams involved on the opposite side of our suit and the third parties. To put it frankly, everyone has complementary things to say about Robert and he has a solid reputation as the guy you DO NOT want to go up against. We settled my case for far more than the value of the policy I had in place. When the other side was taking too long to get back to us Robert smacked them with another bill, and they paid every cent. It was a blessing to have Robert on my side.

As the result of a motorcycle crash, I sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that forced me to give up a 25-year international consulting career and drop out of my PhD program. I was left unable to work or return to school, and had a lot of trouble communicating. After three years of unsuccessfully trying to get my disability benefits myself, I had lost everything, I was homeless, I was getting no treatment, and I had no way to support myself. Completely frustrated with everything, I contacted McKennon Law Group and talked with Bob McKennon. Bob patiently explained the process, what they could do for me, and what I could expect. He was very patient, making sure I understood everything. I really liked that they had a long history specializing in this type of claim and was already very familiar with my disability insurance company. Ryan Tikker was assigned my case, and did a fantastic job! Ryan was aggressive in getting results, securing my benefits without litigation in less than a year! Ryan was also very patient dealing with my disability. I have a lot of trouble communicating and understanding, and Ryan took the time to make sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. I certainly recommend McKennon Law Group, and am very happy with everything Bob and Ryan have done. Their success and professionalism are top notch!

Call them today for a more peaceful tomorrow! We couldn't be more pleased. This is a professional, competent, compassionate and aggressive firm that will represent you well.

I am so glad that I called them after my breast cancer diagnosis when I was having difficulty with my disability insurance carrier. Robert, Joe and Debi were all truly fantastic. They are personable and friendly as well which helps a lot when you are dealing with legal issues! McKennon Law Group is truly on your side. Call them today for a more peaceful and comfortable tomorrow!

I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group to anyone having issues with an employer provided LTD insurance plan. There are three things I look for when considering legal representation, knowledge, honesty and communication. My LTD insurance company terminated my claim after having major surgery. I contacted the McKennon Law Group and spoke to Scott Calvert regarding my claim. After speaking with Scott I was convinced this was the firm to handle my claim. The Appeal Letter produced on my behalf was superbly written and the LTD company reversed the decision to deny my claim. My thanks to Scott and everyone at the McKennon Law Group.

Whenever involved in a dispute with a life insurance company, it is essential to retain a professional and exceptional law firm who has years of experience in this complicated area of litigation. The McKennon Law Group provides exactly that. They will fight for YOU! From the beginning, Joe McMillen and Bob McKennon worked day and night (while producing flawless work) to help me win my bad faith case against an insurer who wrongfully denied my benefits. Their unique perspective and strategy (as they've practiced on both the plaintiff and defendant side) kept me well prepared for any tactics the life insurance company tried to throw at me. Bob and Joe understood every minute detail of ERISA and Life Insurance law which payed countless dividends throughout the process. They are also just great people. On top of that, their transparency was outstanding. I exchanged emails with the two of them almost every day, and not once did I have any doubt in my mind in terms of what was going on in my case or how it was being handled. In the end, Bob and Joe helped me recover ALL the benefits due under the policy, plus attorney fees and emotional distress damages through mediation. We didn’t even have to go to court! I could not have asked for a better outcome. I give the McKennon Law Group my highest recommendation. Truly an outstanding firm.

I was having an extremely hard time getting my disability benefits, so I contacted the McKennon Law Group for help. My case was different, as my benefit was not governed by ERISA. Robert McKennon and Stephanie Talavera filed a lawsuit on my behalf, alleging insurance bad faith, and the defendant tried to dismiss my claims. The McKennon Law Group did not let that happen.  They vigorously defended our position, and it was truly amazing to see their knowledge and experience at work. As a result, the McKennon Law Group negotiated a settlement for me, for far more than I would have expected and far more than my contract benefits due.  A law firm that I would recommend to my family, friends and anyone looking!!!

McKennon Law Group PC rocks! I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who needs assistance with an impossible insurance company that simply will not listen to the facts. I had been through multiple reconsiderations, appeals, and thought that I would never be able to get the benefits rightfully owing to me. Alas, Mr. McKennon and Mr. McMillen were amazing. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. I was billed only for what we agreed upon – no surprise extra add-ons. And the most important thing was that they were looking out for my best interest and GOT ME THE ENTIRE BENEFITS THAT WE WERE GOING FOR! OUTSTANDING JOB! I cannot say enough what an excellent, professional job McKennon Law Group PC did on my case. Definitely check them out!!

I had a long-term disability insurance claim that the McKennon Law Group PC handled superbly. It is really hard to understand all the “ins and outs” of disability claims. Robert McKennon, Joe McMillen and their staff were there for me answering all of my questions about my case and ERISA laws because I cannot understand things like I used to because of my disability. Eventually, after my long-term disability insurer denied my claim, the firm filed litigation and the insurer decided to pay the full value of my claim as a lump sum in addition to paying my attorney’s fees! I am so grateful to them and just very happy that they were there for me. I cannot express enough how much their kindness and understanding meant to me. Stephanie R.

I cannot say enough good things about the McKennon law group.I was referred to the McKennon Law group by a friend who had excellent results from this group.After trying to deal with the insurance companies on my own, I was pleased to get the help from my good friends and I took their advice.I got results within a month and had to do nothing once they took over my case.They are responsible,professional and results oriented.

The McKinnon Law Group (MLG) are a team of professionals who are wholeheartedly dedicated to provide legal expertise ensuring their client's rights are protected. From personal experience, I would highly recommend MLG on the basis they were extremely competent and responsive supporting my case - initially denied by my employer's insurance carrier and then overturned in my favor - once MLG engaged in efforts to support my case.

Incredibly rude on the phone. Secritary doesn't seem to know any thing. Hung up on me. Unable to answer basic questions about the buisnises feild of expertise.

This is a great firm that keeps you up to date on what is happening on your case. They listened to me and my concerns and explained the process so I understood what I was entitled to.
