Disability lawyer recommendations New York

Hi - looking for personal recommendations for attorneys who have successfully handled long term disability insurance claims for clients with MCI/early onset who have had to give up work. Attorneys qualified in New York and practicing in New York City preferred. Many thanks

Hi there , glad to see you made it over here from Young Onset Forum.  It may be helpful to contact the Alzheimer's Assn . 24 Hour Helpline at (800) 272-3900 AND ask to speak to a Care Consultant.  There are no fees for this service. Consultants are highly educated Social Workers who specialize in dementia and family dynamics.  They are great support, have much information and can often assist us with our problem solving.  They may have some contact numbers for attorneys in your area.  Worth a try.

Best wishes,

J.

Quick suggestion.  if the patient has an Alzheimer's diagnosis start the social security disability process.  There is a compassionate allowance that processes  Dementia quickly.   once that is accepted its much easier to do the disability insurance.  Lawyers know this what you want is a lawyer experienced in SS disability .

Not your location as I am in UAE. Work with lawyersuae. (for your convenience here is the link https://www.lawyersuae.com) I have been using them since last summer. They are very upfront and honest, respond promptly to any calls or emails, and are thorough.
