When the disability company terminated my disability benefits, I contacted ERISA Law Center. I found them when I perused Lexus-Nexus and other databases from Orange County Law Library. Thank God such a library exists to raise awareness of legal matters. My case was a bit complex as my employer is a global company and different states were involved with company being headquartered in another state and my work history and ongoing disability involving 2 other states. In addition, I had a workers compensation case going on too. The intake specialist Maria was quick and prompt in arranging a call with Mr. Rosati. File assistant Andrea and Legal assistant Mai were great, who organized and reviewed all the documents collected with the attorneys Mr.Rosati and Ms. Busani. Mr.Rosati thoroughly understood my case even if I was not able to explain my case as I was going through job separation and disability. He has great experience in ERISA law and precisely pinpointed the strengths and weakness of my case. We entered the attorney-client agreement. The Law firm was very professional, kept me in the knowing of each and every minor details as they have a fundamental belief to educate the clients so clients don?t feel they are out of control. The entire staff with core values set by Mr.Rosati and Ms.Busani is very professional, organized, very detail oriented and courteous. Mr.Rosati coordinated with my workers compensation attorney too to ease the knots in the case and make it clear and easy. Finally a complaint was filed with Central dist. Of CA. After sometime, a mediation effort was made and a settlement was reached. The whole process took a year to complete. Thanks to the most professional and efficient services provided by ERISA Law Center. In the end, I am so grateful that I found ERISA Law Center. They stood true to their mission to help and represent people struggling with insurance companies along with the disabilities they are suffering temporarily or otherwise.

Excellent representation from the legal viewpoint. Caring and empathetic from the human viewpoint. I do not believe I could have asked for more, but I am certain that if I had, this firm would have delivered.

After working so hard to keep my much needed disability insurance benefits I was denied further benefits. I did not plan to appeal since I felt I had done everything I could to supply all the necessary information to keep my benefits. I decided to appeal anyway and contacted ERISA Law Center. They did not disappoint. I was amazed how professional and helpful all the staff were throughout the whole process. And my appeal was approved in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend ERISA Law Center to anyone in need of this type of service.

Erisa law center Is extremely organized, professional, timely, Overall, they helped me immensely! They helped me over- turn an appeal I had with a disability company that was giving me a really big problem. The disability company was giving me the runaround despite my written appeal and disagreements with their denials of my appeal. The company was basically denying me benefits and then denying my appeal and my response to the appeal. I was ready to give up, as the company had refused to pay the benefits. When I came to Erisa for help, they were immediately available. They were professional and available and got back to me right away-from the very beginning that I had contact with them. The front staff, the assistants , the legal assistants, and the attorney were all excellent. They all spent time with me on the phone and obtained detailed information about my case. They wrote a professional response to the disability company?s denial of my appeal. Every person in this law firm is professional, polite, organized, empathic, intelligent, and hard-working and it all shows-both in their work with me, as well as the work/correspondence that was given to the disability company. In the end, the company overturned my appeal! I cannot express how grateful I am to Erisa. It was such a weight off of my shoulders. They took care of it in a timely organized and professional manner. I highly recommend them!

?My LTD benefits were terminated after many years of being on claim. Receiving the termination letter from the insurance company was stressful. I haven't worked in several years, and my condition is chronic. Erisa Law Center prepared an appeal for my claim. The insurance company overturned the termination on appeal. Erisa Law Center was professional, helpful, and detailed. I am very grateful for the help they provided me. I highly recommend Erisa Law Center.?

I have been working with this law office and Mr. Robert J. Rosati for over three years and it has been an exceptional experience! The communication from him and all the staff is just outstanding. From the beginning they explained how the long term insurance worked, the timeline, pitfalls, and things to watch for. All were right on target! I'm continuing to receive benefits at this time, and I fell confident that if things change they will be right there to go to battle for me again!

I highly recommend Raquel Busani as an atty (and I'm assuming the whole ERISA firm operates with the same high standards that she and her team put forth for me). Raquel and Maria were so communicative, professional, and understanding throughout my case, which took almost a year to resolve (not because of their work- because the other parties involved were uncooperative). Raquel and Maria went above and beyond their professional commitments, answered all of my questions, and they were even more on top of my case than I was, which was a true blessing. I don't know how I ever would have resolved it without them.

Peace of Mind with The ERISA LAW CENTER ? Priceless! How do you put a price on peace of mind? As a healthcare corporate VP, I excelled at my job and thrived on the long hours and national travel requirements. Insurance contracts were one of many responsibilities. Early on I learned the value of coaching from subject matter experts. Even Tiger Woods still has a coach. When my ability to work came to an abrupt halt, I knew I needed professional expertise and coaching to ensure my disability insurance company honored the contract terms and conditions for payment. I researched long and thorough to find the best in the industry: The ERISA Law Center. I would have lost my disability payments and employer life insurance benefit without The ERISA Law Center. Why? Let?s just say the incentives to pay from an insurance company are not in their interest. It?s not about fairness; it?s about strength in numbers and legal backing. I have that with The ERISA Law Center. If you want peace of mind ? call The ERISA Law Center at (559) 478-4119 today!

I would not have my disability benefits if it were not for Robert Rosati at ERISA Law Center. When I initially filed my claim for disability benefits, I was denied. I tried, on my own to appeal, but to no avail. Trying to deal with my disability insurance company on my own felt like a losing battle. I called ERISA Law Center for help and they immediately took action, and, got my disability benefits awarded. Then, after several years on claim, my disability company alleged that I was able to return to working and revoked my benefits. Again, Robert and ERISA Law Center immediately took action. They submitted an extensive appeal which was denied by the insurance. At that point, Robert gave me all of the options that were available and thoroughly explained everything to me. We decided to move forward with a law suit against my disability insurance company. It was a long process but Robert and his staff at ERISA Law Center were constantly on top of every single detail and my questions and concerns were always answered honestly and completely, even when it was after their working hours or on the weekends. They were always sympathetic and understanding regarding the stress, medical conditions, and financial conditions that people with illnesses and disabilities live with and endure. On my own, there is no way I would have ever been able to deal with my disability insurance company. I am beyond grateful to say that Robert Rosati and ERISA Law Center WON the law suit against my disability insurance company, got my benefits reinstated, and also made sure that I was paid retroactively from the date that they my benefits were stopped. If you are having issues with your disability insurance company, you need Robert Rosati and ERISA Law Center. He and his staff will advocate for you and protect you. His knowledge of ERISA law and track record in dealing with ALL of the disability insurance companies is proven. He reads every single case that is filed against them and goes above and beyond to protect our rights and fights to get what we deserve.

There are professionals who stand above their peers. I believe Bob Rosati to be one such professional. He handled my long term disability case. He is a very honest, highly objective, no nonsense, very knowledgeable lawyer who does his job well . I noticed that he is highly respected by both the judges as well as his opposing lawyers . If you are considering a disability lawyer I would say that you will not go wrong with Bob.

I have to say I was being to lose hope at some point thinking we had no one to turn to until I found Erisa Law Center. Raquel really took her time explaining the process & making sure we completely understood our case & knowing we might not win. The office and everyone were so attentive,sweet,caring & had compassion for our daughters situation. I thank God for them ! We won & now our daughter can live her life feeling complete. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ? Best Regards The Griffith Family

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
