I consulted with Mr. Jessup, very worried about a loved one's case. He assured me multiple times that we were likely to prevail on our own. While he clearly knew his stuff, Mr. Jessup explained the issues and his opinion very effortlessly and clearly. He was kind and set my mind at ease...and he was also right! We will not forget his kindness.

My case isn't resolved yet, but I feel I can rate Mr. Steve Jessup based on his performance as my attorney thus far. He is an intelligent, competent attorney in the area of disability and benefits laws. I like that he's honest and aggressive in managing my case. No other attorneys I consulted showed a fraction of his passion and work ethic. He promptly returns messages and communicates with me regularly. His legal and practical advice has been sound. His staff is also courteous, prompt and professional. I am grateful to have retained him for my case and feel that if anyone can win my case it's him. Even if I don't ultimately win, I feel as though he will have tried his best and that he has my back in the fight. Doubt you will find a better attorney than Steve Jessup.

When Mr Jessup got involved in my case against Lincoln, things turned around dramatically! The former attorney had accomplished nothing in well over a year. Once he took over the case, we were settled in less than 3 months. He worked very hard to get the best settlement and seemed genuine and sincere in his job and looking out for my best interest. I would definitely recommend him.

Overall, It was a great experience to work with Stephen. He and Michal were very helpful throughout the process. The fee was reasonable and they paid me fast after my case got resolved. I hired another lawyer before him and spent lots of money since it was hourly base. However, I did not get the result. I did some researches and Stephen was able to accept my as a % based client and get the result done.

I must say, words can’t express my inner-feelings for the fabulous job that Dell & Schaefer firm have done for me. I was so impress with the outline of my disability appeal, it was totally organized. Dell & Schaefer, keep me abreast with the entire proceedings. To have a attorney that has your interest at heart is a phenomenal thing. Dell & Schaefer, was referred to me by a friend. It was a true blessing. I would return a favor, by referring Dell & Schaefer, to anyone that needs a attorney. Thank You, Dell & Schaefer and Stephen Jessup, for being there in my time of need.

Since day one I continue to have a very positive experience working with the Dell & Schaefer Law Firm. I am especially grateful to attorney Stephen Jessup who was assigned to my case in early 2010. Steven Jessup and Anneli (Registered Paralegal) are always available and very professional in managing my case in a timely manner. Steven explained the entire (LTD) process to me from day one when I became disabled and unable to work due to my disabilities and had my case approved very quick working with my LTD carrier. My health has worsened since then with a life threatening disease and several surgeries / conditions later. He always answers all of my questions in a timely manner and always has a positive outcome for me. I feel highly represented & grateful with Steve as my LTD attorney which enables me to take care of my health to the best of my abilities without worries. Steve, I sincerely appreciate all you and Dell & Schaefer have accomplished for me from day one in representing me regarding my case in a very quick and timely manner. I would “most definitely recommend” Attorneys Dell & Schaefer to anyone in dire need of the best in legal representation & counseling in short & long term disability cases.”

I contacted Steve after my LTD provider (Prudential) terminated my coverage. I wasn't sure what to do. My livelihood was more than cut in half. I did a search for law firms that represented clients that had their disability payments terminated. I contacted Steve's firm. He was assigned to the case. After speaking with Steve I was confident he was the one to hire to go after the provider. Through the process of data gathering, physician statements, statements from friends and family, Steve put together a presentation that was very solid and the provider resumed the coverage after 8 (eight) months. They also made it retroactive so I received the monies I should have received. In June of 2015 Prudential again terminated my coverage. I received notice of this termination which violated the agreement of all communication about my case to be sent to Steve first. I had to inform Steve of Prudential's action. Needless to say he was not please that they went around him. I went 9 (nine) months this time with Steve compiling additional data from the time between the last termination and this one. The provider conducted surveillance on me in an attempt to "catch me" doing things I can not do. Prudential asked for an extension to their investigation time which Steve granted. Then they asked for even more time after an independent medical exam was ordered by Prudential. As a result of the opinion of the physician and the extensive case Steve and his team built, my benefits were again reinstated. That is twice Steve and his team have confronted Prudential with the facts and beat the attempt to terminate my coverage. If you are looking for an attorney that not only talks the talk but also walks the walk, hire Steve. He will get the job done for you. I am very glad I was able to find and work with Steve. He and his team will do whatever it takes to get you what you deserve.

I have been a client of Stephen Jessup since early last year and have to say he’s an amazing attorney whose direct approach and attention to detail are second to none. My case presents a difficult challenge in that we have to manage my LTD policy, workers compensation, and SSDI all together. Attorney Jessup has been able to guide me through all the intricacies of all three and has gone out of his way to do so, even in dealing with workers compensation and SSDI, although he is not required to do so. He doesn’t embellish or overstate what he can do for you. I have never had an email go unanswered or an attorney conference call cancelled. His compassion and understanding about your situation and condition are genuine. He listens to all your concerns and never will respond with empty rhetoric or lip service. And let’s not forget Anneli De Cardenas, who is definitely a big part of Dell and Schaefer. She has been terrific to deal with and has been very empathetic regarding my case. Dealing with the insurance company by yourself is not only stressful but also not recommended; since Dell and Schaefer have started managing my LTD policy, I have felt a tremendous sense of relief because they are always on the ball and I trust that they are handling it effectively. I have the utmost gratitude to Stephen Jessup and Dell and Schafer for everything they have done for my case.

I am happy to share my positive experience of being represented by the firm of Dell and Schaefer for my disability claim. When I first called for a consultation I was immediately put through to Stephen Jessup who was so professional and took his time to explain the Disability law to me. Thereafter I retained the firm and Mr. Jessup began to represent me. I have nothing but praise for him and his staff. They have made this legal process so much easier for me and have taken my worrying away from me and handled everything. They keep me informed of all that is happening with my case and promptly respond to my emails and calls to answer my questions. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm as they are highly knowledgeable on the law and are very professional.

I was referred to Dell & Schaefer thru a network group of top clinicians who gave them a very positive recommendation. I was not disappointed. Dell and Schaefer’s organization, confidence and direction proved invaluable during a very frustrating and emotional period. We were fortunate to get them onboard at onset of my medical problems, and their help was pivotal as the demands of my illness and the claims procedure became very challenging. I can’t say enough positive things about Stephen Jessup and the many valuable members of their team. They possess unique knowledge and experience critical for success in this field, and demonstrate a sincere commitment to success for their client. These are highly skilled professionals who provided outstanding guidance and personal support through the processing and management of my professional disability insurance claim.

My experience with Dell & Schaefer and Attorney Stephen Jessup was absolutely stress free. Everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. They made sure that everything was communicated and explained to me and they collected all the paper work necessary to process my appeal. I am very thankful that Dell & Schaefer was referred to me and I am grateful for their expertise.
