Dell & Schaefer Chartered - Weston, FL

We called Dell Disability Lawyers when we had a illness diagnosed in 2022. We had been financially savvy in the early part of our health care careers to get individual disability insurance and two business overhead insurance. When it became apparent we were going to need to file claims on the policies, we immediately retained Mr. Steven Dell. He and his paralegal, Merlin, took our case on and aggressively but kindly dealt with the insurance companies. If you need help, please call Mr. Dell. You will not be disappointed.

I can not express enough sincere compliments and appreciation to Mr. Steven Dell and Merlin Bryon, his legal assistant. Every email and phone call was answered thoroughly and in a punctual manner. With Mr. Dell's expertise, I was able to submit a very in-depth and complete application that left nothing to question. Without Mr. Dell and Merlin's assistance, it would have been an impossible endeavor.

Contacting Dell & Schaefer was one of the best decisions I?ve made since become disabled. Mr. Steven Dell has provided excellent counsel and made navigating the disability process much less overwhelming. He and his firm got my claim approved without hassle. They?ve had my back every step of the way, and they?ve never let me down! I would encourage anyone preparing to activate their disability insurance policies to contact Dell & Schaefer. Don?t go it alone. It?s worth it to have these experts on your side!

Steven Dell and his staff were fantastic. He walked me though every step of the application, gave me spot-on advice, kept all the records and information organized, and kept me up to date at each step. He knows the industry, knows the companies and the people, knows how to present a case properly. Very ethical, was very diligent to verify that my claim was legitimate, then put in lots of attention and effort. I would definitely recommend him and his organization. Do not try to file for disability by yourself!

Greg and his team are my go to lawyers for any of my insurance related issues. The response time is always immediate and the advice is spot on. Thank you for the help.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value After practicing dentistry for 34 years, I was forced to stop working due to a long history of cervical degenerative disc disease and associated complications that impair my ability to practice my profession. When I learned that this was a permanent condition and I would likely never be able to practice again, I contacted Dell & Schaefer to assist me with filing my private disability insurance claim. I wanted the expertise and guidance of an experienced disability attorney from the beginning so that I would not be faced later on with having to undo problems I might have unknowingly created on my own. I was most fortunate to be represented by Mr. Steven Dell, who patiently answered each one of my questions and carefully steered me through every step of the disability claim process. He thoroughly got to know me, the history of my condition, and as my legal professional intermediary with the insurance company, guided me in compiling everything we needed for him to submit the claim for me. When Mr. Dell called to give me the good news that my claim had been successfully awarded and that he would continue to "be there" for me going forward, it was clearly confirmed to me that the key to this successful outcome was my decision, early on, to contact Dell and Schaefer. I would unreservedly and highly recommend Dell and Schaefer for the following reasons: Their professionalism and personal care for me as a client; their extensive knowledge of disability law and experience in successfully dealing with disability insurance carriers; their long track record of successful disability claims outcomes; their availability and prompt responses to my questions as a client; their frank and honest full disclosure with no surprises from the beginning; their commitment to continue representing me as a client even after a successful disability claim award.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness Attorney Steven Dell is an excellent attorney . He is very professional and understood my claim very well. It was truly a blessing to have gotten his services. He is very understanding, compassionate and diligent and very knowledgeable . In addition to him , his paralegal Ms. Merlin Brayan is also an individual who is very prompt , caring and understanding. I would describe them as ? Two professionals extraordinaire ? .

When I was younger and starting my career, a representative from an insurance company recommended a long-term, disability policy should an event (accident/illness) occur that would result in loss of income. I purchased a plan not thinking that in a thousand years I would ever need it. In 2011, I was forced to quit working because of chronic circulatory and pain issues in my lower extremities. I could no longer walk without assistance and was actually bedridden for about one year during convalescence. I had the disability policy with a major insurance carrier and to be honest, I was somewhat apprehensive about initiating a claim because we all know what insurance companies like to do... right? I felt that legal assistance was needed to process my claim. I solicited the opinion of several general practice lawyers, but none were familiar with long-term, disability insurance claims for working professionals. Fortunately, an internet search led me to Dell and Schaefer. I contacted them and Stephen Jessup was assigned to my case. He was very thorough and instructed me on how to process my claim. I had all the pertinent medical documents and had no issues at all with my insurance company. The staff and attorneys at Dell & Schaefer were very helpful and assisted me with the completion of periodic benefit requests. (My insurance carrier required periodic, biannual benefit requests and attending physician statements despite the fact that I was considered permanently disabled.) Stephen and his staff promptly responded to any and all communication requests either via electronic messaging or telephone. My best advice to the young professional just starting his/her career: 1) Purchase disability insurance from a reputable carrier and 2) Use an attorney with experience to help guide you and process the claim. It will result in additional legal fees, but the peace of mind is well worth it. I will always be thankful to the attorneys and staff at Dell and Schaefer for their help and support. They are very client oriented and based on my experience, an ethical firm that will represent you during a time of need and distress.

Greg Dell and his team stepped in after a major disability insurance company denied my claim - I was suffering from a major organ failure. The insurance company claimed I was "fine" to return to work. Turns out, two years after my initial claim I needed a major organ transplant. Without Dell & Schaefer the insurance company would've denied my initial claim and I would've been without income pre and post transplant. These guys know the games/tactics the disability insurers use and are experts at defending your rights under your disability insurance plan.

Jay Symonds and team are simply awesome. They helped us through a very difficult negotiation and continued demands for information from our insurance company and helped us attain the best outcome for our family. We plan to keep Jay on retainer until the insurance company is no longer part of the conversation!

I can not say enough good things about Cesar Gavidia, Esq. and his Paralegal, Vanessa Arriaga and the tremendous work they have done to collect on my disability claim against CIGNA. Without them taking the risk of accepting my case against CIGNA, I would NEVER have seen another payment on my claim once CIGNA arbitrarily denied. Cesar totally understands the games that some of these disability insurers play to avoid paying valid claims in the hope that the claimant just goes away after getting beat up by the Insurer. But they offer another choice. Cesar and his team took on all the risk and did all the work of appealing my claim denial in a game that is rigged for the Insurer. Having a top notch attorney in your corner removes all the stress that takes an added toll on your health and for that peace of mind, they more than earn their fees. I can't say enough...

Mr Symonds provided my husband with the knowledge he needed to pursue his disability claim. He was with him through the entire process. His team is quick to respond to any questions or needs that might arise.

DENIED STD & LTD In February 2017, I had an accident that caused me to be unable to work. I was employed with the largest teachers union in the United States at the time. I filed for Short-term disability (STD) through my employer sponsored program, operated by Cigna. I was approved for the STD. On May 5, 2017, when my STD was about to transition to Long-term disability (LTD), Cigna abruptly stopped my STD and closed my file. When I reached out to Cigna to inquire about my file, they said a letter will be coming in the mail. The letter didn?t come until May 27 and the reason for denial and closing my file was completely false. Cigna claimed that on April 27, my doctor said I was able to work. There were 2 problems with this: a) I never saw my doctor on April 27 and b) my doctor never sent them anything that was remotely close to what Cigna claimed. My doctor provided a letter for Cigna as well as for my employer. Cigna sent a response to my letter stating that they reviewed the letter and documentation and still made a decision to uphold their original denial. My employer treated me even worse (keep in mind this is the largest Teachers Union in the US). We have a union for employees and in the contract, employees are given up to 2 years Leave Without Pay (LWOP). Well, my LWOP request for the 2 years was denied and my union did not even file an appeal. The emails from my own Union was absolutely devastating. Can you believe that the President and Grievance Chair sent me an email telling me to apply for unemployment...well every reasonably knowledgable person knows that you have to be wiling and able to work when you apply for unemployment! I was disciplined for not being able to work and ultimately terminated on July 20, 2018 after 14 years with this Teachers Union. I couldn?t believe this was happening. The stress was overwhelming and even more debilitating. I researched with the help of family and no attorney that we spoke with fully understood what I was facing except for Dell & Schaefer attorney?s. I had a ton of questions and they patiently and thoroughly explained every step in the process. First of all, they are straight to the point and no BS. They never gave me false hope but given that the denial was based on false information, and having an independent doctor review my medical file, they felt pretty confident that they will get my denied case overturned and approved. They also explained (before I signed the contract) that any STD/LTD funds collected (present & future) will be subject to 33.33% fee. To me, this was minimal given the nightmare I was living. On November 2, 2018, Dell & Schaefer were able to get both my STD as well as my LTD denials overturned and I received funds dating back to the date of denial. My employment was also reinstated. Now, I don?t ever have to deal with Cigna again as they have to communicate directly with my attorney for as long as I?m receiving LTD. Knowing that I have Dell & Schaefer, helps give me peace of mind and I have absolutely no regrets nor complaints! Advice to anyone who has been denied Short-term disability or Long-term disability, don?t wait to act. ERISA Laws, which govern STD and LTD, are so complicated that you will not be able to fight these large company?s alone. ERISA is not state regulated so the only way to get through ERISA is to have your claim case go to the courts or have a knowledgable attorney work with the insurance company to get your denied claim overturned. Give Dell & Schaefer a call because time is of the essence!

I used Rachel Alters and her staff to win a long term disability claim. It was quite difficult for me to lose the benefit, and they were so helpful in getting all the paperwork done, arranging what had to be done and even moral support. They have also been quite helpful afterwards, doing additional work and answering questions and still handling the annual reports. Yes, it is a bit to pay, but in the end it was so worth it to have won and the ongoing support. I have had friends who cheaped out and lost everything!

Jay Symonds is amazing. I can not express how happy I was with what Jay and Sonia Nogueira did for me during my case. They got me the best outcome and I highly recommend Dell and Schaefer if you need and want attorneys who are going to fight for your rights.

I am convinced that without the very professional help of the folks at Dell and Schaefer, I would still be fighting with the insurance company rather than having it settled.

I have been a client of Dell & Schaefer for several years and they have basically taken so much stress off me. Jay Symonds was incredibly knowledgeable and put my husband and I at ease the first time we spoke. Jay and Sonia, his paralegal, have been so responsive to any question I have had and their advice and expertise has been so helpful. I highly recommend Dell & Schaefer.

Alex and team are terrific. They ALWAYS respond immediately to inquiries, and are truly invested in their client and their best results. Even though their office is many states away from me, their success never fails on my behalf -- as distance is no object. I can rest easy knowing that these professionals have my back to protect me from the wily tactics of insurance companies.

Attorney Jay Symonds and Paralegal Sonia Nogueira were instrumental in providing me with peace of mind during my illness and the lowest points of my life. If you are struggling with your health, you know that it is immensely difficult to live day-to-day life, let alone worry about paperwork and finances. Jay accepted my case and quite literally saved me. Both Jay and Sonia are consummate professionals. They are capable and competent, always moving the process along efficiently. I hold them in high regard as they are also patient, personable, and kind human beings -- such a necessity when one is dealing with disability. I cannot recommend Jay and Sonia, as well as Dell & Schaefer enough.

Attorney Jay Symonds and Paralegal Sonia Nogueira have always been very courteous, professional and attentive. It is pleasing to have such a knowledgeable and experienced team/firm manage my claim.

This law firm has been great from the beginning to now. They always keep me informed and up to date. There?s no way that I could?ve navigated through my ordeal without them. I am forever grateful for them and I highly recommend them!

When Prudential stopped my disability payments, I didn't know what to do. I contacted Alex and he started working on my disability right away. He and Sonia always respond quickly to emails or calls. He was able to get my disability reinstated and handles all of the correspondences. I highly recommend Alex and company if you have a disability insurance issue.

My experience(s) with Mr. Symonds and his assistant, Sonia have been nothing short of astounding. I've been with them since late 2017, and after applying for benefits in Spring of 2018 their diligence in all aspects of the application process was constantly reassuring. Ultimately, because of their expertise I won my case in the Fall of 2018. I really have to commend them for their responsiveness to my calls and emails as I almost always received a reply within an hour or two. I will continue to rely upon their services for many years to come as they work hard to keep my benefits ongoing.

I can't begin to describe the wonderful service I've received from Alex Palamara, Sonia, and the rest of the team! I was denied my ERISA LTD claim, despite the fact that I was very ill. In my pursuit of a good law firm to represent me for my appeal, I began corresponding with Alex. He stood out from the beginning as being more knowledgeabe and responsive than the other lawyers contacted, and was the obvious choice to best represent me. The entire team was extremely helpful and encouraging from the start and answered all of my questions and requests right away. They did all the coordination with my doctors and put together a stellar, rock solid appeal (I was truly impressed) and I was awarded my claim. They continue to work directly with my insurance company and doctors to ensure my coverage continues seamlessly with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. Because of their dedication, I am able to rest and focus on my health and recovery, and they take care of the insurance company's correspondence and requests. I highly recommend this firm/team and am extremely grateful for everything.

Excellent law firm. Constant communications and delivered the result I wanted in a quicker time frame than I expected.

2021 was a really tough year between Covid and my long term disability company denying my benefits. I was lucky to find attorney Gregory Dell via a google search and I was able to speak with him immediately. Since that initial call he did everything he said would and the outcome of my claim was exactly as he predicted. Thank you again for the great service and help with my claim.

Wonderful in a confusing situation to have someone representing you who is straight forward,honest and no BS. He made a horrible situation easy to navigate. Sonia &Jay we are readily available and truly got me out of a desperate situation. So grateful to them

I have worked with Greg Dell and his law firm many times over the past ten years. As a psychologist that treats many patients with disability claims, all of my clients have always been very satisfied with the legal help they receive.

I wanted to thank you for taking a chance on my husband's case when no one else would. I knew it would be an uphill battle, but I'm pleased with the outcome. As I said, it's like found money. I really do appreciate everything that Mr. Alex Palamara and Vanessa did during this process.

Dell & Schaefer is the firm you need by your side when dealing with insurance companies in your time of need. Years of dealing with insurance companies as an accountant couldn?t prepare me for the battle I would face when I needed to file a disability claim. Dell & Schaefer brought the legal expertise needed to ensure the insurance company honored their end of the policy.

I believe it is imperative to have an attorney specialized in disability insurance when filing a disability claim. An attorney who has experience in this particular area of the law is the best solution to avoiding a misunderstanding between the claimant and the insurance representative. He can validate the claimant?s concerns and represent it to the insurance company clearly and concisely thus avoiding the possibility of a wrongly denied claim. I fully recommend Mr. Alex Palamara of the law firm Dell & Schaefer. This firm has been in existence for many years. That alone speaks loudly of their abilities. Mr. Palamara has years of experience and knowledge in this field. He is very kind, patient and understanding with his clients. I did not fully trust my abilities to convey my disability when I had to leave my profession. I was very concerned that I would misrepresent myself to my insurance company, have my claim denied and thus be in a terrible situation. Mr. Palamara and his staff were very assuring. He reviewed my situation, looked at my records and clearly and calmly advised me of what to expect. He and his office prepared my case and presented it to my insurance company with such accuracy and timeliness, that the insurance representative, at a meeting, volunteered a complement to him and his office. That spoke volumes to me as to Mr. Palamara?s abilities. So if you are planning to file a disability claim, please do not do it by yourself if you have any doubts. Hire a competent attorney, well versed in this nefarious field. For my money, I highly recommend the law office of Dell & Schaefer and suggest you ask for Mr. Alex Palamara.

Steven Dell has been a lifesaver for us and I highly recommend using him. I do not know what we would ever do without him. Mr. Dell?s staff is also fantastic! Mr Dell is a terrific Disability Lawyer. One of the best, if not the best! Mr. Dell will fight for you and get you what you deserve.

Worst decision ever made to have this law firm represent my case. Took months to file my appeal and I had to keep asking about it. I don't feel like the office really cared about me and my case. Been out of work year and a half on unpaid leave and about to lose my apt. Now the lawyers dont even want to fight my case in court. Metlife is basically getting away with not covering me. Havent done any treatment or therapy bc cant afford it and lost my medical insurance. They owe me like $100k and when I really need my disability to cover me I get no help. The lawyers should care about you and fight for ypur case in court. How is it fair that no one cares about the client suffering and relying on the lawyer to fight for your rights to get better. I have a traumatic brain injury and need treatment and therapy. Im sorry but Im so unhappy and feel I should have been treated better. Is it you aren't making enough money off my case and you u dont care about my welfare. The whole system has failed me (lawyers, medical insurance companies and medical sys). I have a child who has special needs who is suffering because my injury and i still can't get better. I expected to be treated better and someone I hire to fight hard for my rights and if the lawyer didn't want to do that then don't take my case. Now I'm getting passed off to some other lawyer like I don't matter. No communication either. I have to keep contacting about my case. I can't recommend this firm if this is how you treat me.

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

I retained Dell and Schaefer 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. 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.

After much research and asking those in the legal profession Dell and Schaefer seemed to be the top choice. I reached out and Alex Palamara was the attorney assigned to my case. All I can say is the experience was outstanding Both Alex and his Paralegal, Danielle Lauria were excellent to work with. They were very kind, concerned, understanding of my frustrations and treated me with the utmost respect. In the end we won our case and I believe it was solely due to their experience and knowledge of not only the laws but the insurance companies as a whole. I would highly recommend them and am very grateful for the help they afforded to me.

Greg Dell and his assistant Anneli have been extremely responsive and helpful, not only our initial consultations, but in follow-ups 1 and 2 years later with the insurance company to ensure that they comply with their agreements (which they did), as well as a separate and only slightly-related inquiry about our health insurance. I always hear back from them very quickly, which is rare and greatly appreciated.

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 and 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

Rachel Alters and her paralegal, Sonia R. Nogueira, made dealing with the insurance companies almost like a walk in the park! They kept me informed whenever the ins companies needed something and we worked out the most efficient means of getting it done. What made working with Ms. Alters and Sonia a dream was their ability to make me feel that I was a SPECIAL client of theirs - and I am well aware that I was not. But seriously, when working with Sonia when trying to get the correct Social Security disability award info to Lincoln she never once made it seem that it was a bothersome inconvenience to her. She was just great at all times and Ms. Alters, and Dell & Schaefer, should be very proud to have her on board.

I would recommend Dell & Schaefer - Ms. Alters and Sonia to anyone needed to find a resolution to their situation. I found them to be compassionate and fair. I was recommended to Dell & Schaefer via another attorney. I was not sure of what the process would require of me at the time. I was hesitant to follow through because of my disruption in communicating skills and the frustration of dealing with the insurance company on my own. Ms. Alters and Sonia Nogueira are so very understanding and companionate though working diligently to resolve my issue. I felt as if they had my best interest at heart. I appreciated the continual communication and explaining of the process and where it could possibly go. I would highly recommend this firm, Ms. Alters and her team to anyone who feels they have done all they could do, because as I found there was a lot more that this talented firm accomplished.

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.

The best decision I ever made about my disability claim! After 27+ yrs. of practice I was now faced with what is one of the most difficult and life-changing situations of my life. As a professional myself, their expertise, knowledge, and professionalism are unsurpassed. When something like this happens there's nothing better than having the best attorneys in the business working for you and watching your back.

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!

My experience has been outstanding. Every aspect of my experience has been perfect. From the moment I contacted Dell and Schaefer and made that first telephone call, I felt confident that I chose the right firm. Dell and Schaefer is the Best.I hope more businesses aspire to be like Dell and Schaefer

Dont get bullied by your disability insurance company. Dell and Schaefer got me back on claim and I coukdnt not have done it with their expertise.

I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff and I was very satisfied with my settlement.

Nobody wants to file for disability insurance and I read so many bad stories about disability insurance companies. Working with Greg Dell and Cesar Gavidia at Dell & Schaefer was a very enjoyable experience. They took away all of my anxiety about the claim process and they have handled everything perfectly. Thank you guys!

Greg Dell has been my attorney for more than 15 years and I could not have handled my long term disability insurance claim without him. The disability company is constantly asking for things and the law firm does a great job at managing the entire claim and keeping me calm!!! When my claim was denied I hired Dell & Schaefer and they were able to get my benefits reinstated. Greg and his team continue to handle my claim and I am thankful for that.

If you want peace of mind and the assurance that a Dell & Schaefer Attorney has your back. 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.

My experience with Dell & Schaefer was really good. I submitted an online request on their website and attorney Gregory Dell responded immediately. He listened to my issues and from that day on he did everything he said he would do. It was important to me that he always responded to all my calls and completed things for me in the time frame promised. I am thankful that I had Greg as a lawyer and I would not hesitate to work with again if ever needed.

After working for AT&T for 30 plus years my neck pain became unbearable. I tried to file for disability benefits on my own and I was denied. I wish I had hired Greg Dell before I was disabled. Once Greg took over my claim he spent several months to prepare a great Appeal. Within 45 days of the appeal being submitted, the disability company reversed their denial and my long term disability benefits were approved. WIthout Greg my benefits would never have been approved. I am happy to recommend Attorneys Dell & Schaefer.

I've been with Dell & Schaefer since 2011. Once all the initial loads of paperwork and interviews were completed, Mr. Steven Dell has been an excellent advocate. He and his assistant, Merlin, are extremely quick with all communication, and they will fight for your rights no matter how many blockades these callous parasitic insurance companies throw at you.

Mr Dell and staff have been the consummate professionals with my injury and claim. Their expertise was invaluable in my successful outcome. I am so thankful to have them in my corner with every step to guide me through this challenging process. I am certain that if I did not have their assistance, my outcome would have been in doubt and definitely delayed. I would not hesitate to recommend them as they have proven themselves over the months. Mr Dell knows the intricacies of the disability process/policies and I cannot thank him enough.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value When faced with a life altering health issue, it is hard enough to deal with the situation, much less the daunting task of filing a disability claim. If you are a small business owner as I was, this entire exercise has to happen while you are finding an individual to buy your business, which for me happened at the height of the initial pandemic shutdown. The disability claim process involves producing literally hundreds of pages of documentation, running the gamut from business records for multiple past years, medical evaluations, and many other things you wouldn't anticipate on your own. Steven Dell and his Legal Assistant Merlin Bryan were nothing short of ALL-STARS!!! I can't imagine having attempted to navigate those stormy waters without them. They are extremely compassionate, friendly and responsive. Quite clearly, this firm is the best in the business. If you are facing an abrupt end to your career, at the height of your earnings, you need a friend to lead you through these dark waters. Steven Dell and Merlin are those friends.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness Attorneys Dell & Schaefer Chartered Provided excellent service and follow up with my case. They were professional, responsive and very knowledgeable.

Very professional and responsive firm. No question this is the best disability insurance legal firm in the nation. I cannot say enough about the quality and professionalism of this company, especially Steven Dell. You will never have to worry about a form being submitted-their quality control practices are the best. Can't go wrong choosing them.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I was very pleased with the services provided by Attorney Stephen Jessup. My long term disability was cut off suddenly and I couldn?t have dealt with the insurance company on my own. The firm is extremely professional and I highly recommend them. I received a settlement that helped me to move forward with my life.

Dealing with Unum and MetLife was extremely stressful and always a battle until I hired attorney Gregory Dell to take over my claim. Thank you for your help and I highly recommend you. I especially appreciated your practical approach and calming nature every time that I would get frustrated or upset.

Dell & Schaefer Law Firm is an excellent law firm for dealing with disability companies. I would highly recommend Mr. Symonds and his firm to anyone who needs assistance with disability claims with insurance companies.

This firm does exceptional work. My claim was approved on the initial application with one of the most notoriously difficult insurance carriers in the business. I'm 100% sure that this was due to my attorney Steven Dell. He was meticulous in shepparding me through the process making sure everything was done with precision and done correctly. My anxiety thought this process was through the roof and Mr. Dell was always there to reassure me and peal me of the ceiling if needed.

Every time I thought ...? I wonder what our status is?? I received an update, he provided great communication with awesome engagement.

Very satisfied! Highly recommend to anyone that has disability insurance problems. Great law firm!

5/5 STARS for Dell & Schaefer. I am very grateful. Steven Dell and the staff helped me through a very difficult period in my life. I am a physician and take care of people in very difficult situations 24/7. When I get that level of care and expertise back I am deeply deeply appreciative. They facilitated a difficult process, made it relatively easy, and obtained a successful outcome. Thank you

Words can only scratch the surface regarding my experience working with Dell and Schaefer. It's a very emotional experience making the decision to utilize disability insurance. The unknowns were/are scary. From the very first phone call, the support staff was/are very professional and reassuring. I have been working with Attorney Steven Dell for approximately 10 years. He is confident, reassuring, listens to and addresses all my concern, and is extremely diligent in understanding my specific policies for how they impact me. It is very reassuring that Steven handles and deals with the insurance company on my behalf. Attorney Dell's team, and specifically Merlin, Attorney Dell's assistant, is simply fantastic. Her professionalism and attention to detail have made all my communications with the office seamless. Simply put, my experience with Dell and Schaefer made the emotional roller coaster experience of my neck surgery seem like a walk in the park. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, to both Attorney Steven Dell and to Merlin for how you have helped me over these past 10 years. Diligence, Reassurance, Professionalism at every step, Confidence, Results With 10 year?s experience with working with Dell and Schaefer, taking that step to call Attorney Dell and Schaefer was one of the best professional and personal decisions I have ever made.

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.

With 10 years experience with working with Dell and Schaefer, taking that step to call Attorney Dell and Schaefer was one of the best professional and personal decisions I have ever made. Words can only scratch the surface regarding my experience working with Dell and Schaefer. It's a very emotional experience making the decision to utilize disability insurance. The unknowns were/are scary. From the very first phone call, the support staff was/are very professional and reassuring. I have been working with Attorney Steven Dell for approximately 10 years. He is confident, reassuring, listens to and addresses all my concern, and is extremely dilligent in understanding my specific policies for how they impact me.

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.
