Great experience with Attorneys Dell & Schaefer. I first hired Greg Dell to help with a claim against an insurance company 16 years ago. The outcome of my case was excellent and I have referred many friends and family to the law firm. Great service and very responsive on everything I have ever needed.

My D&S experience spanned over 7 years and it was in one word “Relief”. A fantastic relief. Why relief? Because dealing with my disability insurance company was nightmarish and D&S instantly relieved me of all the worry. From the very first conversation I had with Greg Dell, on a Sunday I believe, thru his help, he and his most competent team including sttorney Alex Palamara, and staff members Danielle Lauria, and Anneli De-Cardenas, they all helped in removing the proverbial 800 pound gorilla off my shoulders. Greg and Alex spent an initial, and draining, 3 hours listening in via long distance speaker phone while an expert insurance investigator grilled me on an in-home interview. I have to admit, before phoning Greg Dell, I was terrified.......capital T Terrified. This was after they had filmed me on two separate occasions months earlier. The Private Eye (PI) even followed me thru Walmart, cameras on!! Folks, they were trying to catch me doing something-anything outside the limits of my disability. They don’t want to pay you!! That's the bottom line. My D&S attorneys told me from the start, be honest when you talk to the insurance company people on that interview. I did and from that interview and beyond, D&S handled everything regarding my policy. I was able to sleep at night knowing I had expert representation. Everything from my disability company went through my D&S attorney and their staff. This was a huge burden, relieved! I "highly" recommend D&S because I know there are legitimately disabled people, like me, who haven’t a clue on how to deal with an insurance company, with expert investigators at their disposal, looking for ways NOT to pay. D&S represent. They know this business. They provide expert counsel. Watch the Greg Dell situational videos available online at YouTube. Just Google “Greg Dell Attorney videos YouTube”, and they’ll pop up. Good info and you’ll get a calming feeling watching Greg Dell operate. He’s a true professional at what he does. D&S attorneys and staff will not only act as your disability attorneys, but they also empathize with you, with their clients. They show compassion. They’re accessible. They’re very reasonable in their fees. Trust me, they were worth every penny. I recommend D&S, so that others in the same boat as I was can feel relaxed and know that the entire D&S organization has your back and will go to battle for you when necessary. D&S were absolutely wonderful, ALL very approachable, and all true friends for life.

Our go to Firm for client referrals in the area of disability insurance.

I have known Gregory Dell since we attended college together at Washington university in St. Louis. As a financial advisor we have worked together for more than 20 years. Greg is my go to source for anything related to disability insurance. I have referred him numerous clients over the years and they have all been very happy. It is great to be able refer to another business professional and know that they will receive five star service.

I am writing to highly recommend Greg Dell & The Law Offices of Dell & Schaefer as disability attorneys. Greg has handled my permanent disability case for over ten years. Along the way, disputes with the insurance Co. were quickly handled by Greg where, in each instance, we always prevailed. Regardless of the pressure to discontinue benefits, Greg assured my uninterrupted flow of benefit checks. Years ago I had met an attorney from The Law Offices of Dell & Schaefer at a dental meeting and the message (& Biz card) I took away that day became extremely valuable when, much later, I suffered a career-ending injury and had to file for permanent disability benefits. Even before filing a disability claim, the insured person needs the protection, advice, and power of a good disability attorney. There are potential hidden traps throughout & especially early the claim process. Disability insurance Co.’s look to circumvent their duty to pay. They don’t just write the checks! Dealing with my claim, I often felt my Insurance Co. was taking advantage of me. To successfully claim & receive continuing benefits, it was clear early on that I needed legal representation. I called Dell & Schaefer, spoke with Greg Dell, and immediately understood that this attorney knew exactly what I was going through & that he had the experience and power to represent me, to stand up to the insurance Co., & to assure my uninterrupted benefits. As soon as Greg took over my case, all correspondence from the insurance Co. went straight to him for his handling. No longer were those insurance Co. letters being delivered to where I live, where they would result in distraction & uncertainties in my home. It’s been a great relief to my family & me to have Greg Dell and the staff at the Law Offices of Dell & Schaefer, on the job, responding, on my behalf, to the insurance Co.’s relentless pressure to reduce or discontinue my benefits. Greg Dell deserves and receives my highest possible recommendation as a disability attorney.

From the very first call From Rachel I knew that I was in good hands. She was very informative and up front about all of the aspects of my case. I felt very confident about being represented by Rachel and that she would do all she could to help. She is a great attorney. Her staff and everyone else that I have had contact with at the firm is first-class. I would recommend the firm because of the professional way I was treated and the outcome of my case thus far.

9 years ago when I had to apply for disability benefits from my private disability policy the insurance company ignored my inquiries until Dell and Schaefer represented me and I have received the benefits without interruption til my policy expired at age 65. I have appreciated not having to deal directly with the insurance company and having attorney Greg Dell and assistant Danielle Lauria handle all communications which included monthly progress reports. I thank them for their efforts on my behalf and highly recommend them to all those in need of disability benefits.

Dell & Schaefer did such a marvelous job in handling my Lump Sum Long-term Disability claim, that I have to take my hat off, and give them a standing ovation! Cesar Gavidia, and his assistant Michal were not only very professional, but they handled my case in a very expedient way. Both Cesar and Michal were prompt in returning my calls and answering my questions, which is rare for an attorney. Not only did they obtain the lump sum amount that was promised to me by the insurance company, but they increased the amount by a few thousand dollars. As a man of God, I want to thank God for using Dell & Schaefer to resolve my case, but also for the integrity in which they showed. Thanks to the entire Dell & Schaefer legal team, and may God bless you to have a long and prosperous legal business!

I'm writing this for my wife. We found Dell & Schaefer after searching extensively on the web (my wife is a master researcher). Very few firms will even talk to you until a denial has occurred. We wanted help before that happened. We contacted Dell & Schaefer and were connected with Mr Jessup. There are not enough nice works to say about our interactions with him. Exceptionally helpful at every step. I told my son and daughter-in-law (she is also an attorney) about him and our interactions. They said he is definitely not like the vast majority of attorneys ... and they meant it in an extremely positive way. Thank you Mr Jessup and Dell & Schaefer. A breath of fresh air in a challenging world.

No matter where you are in the country, these lawyers will help you. They could not have been more responsive and they helped my through a difficult time in my life. They obtained full disability benefits for me through the life of the contract.

Greg has represented me for 6 years, and he is a no-nonsense attorney who has the ability to keep you focused on the practical matters of the case. We can all get wrapped in the stress of the situation, and I have found Greg to be a very knowledgable and resourceful professional. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Dell & Schaefer to anyone for LTD claims. I had been having a very difficult time with my LTD carrier for over three years and Steve Jessup and his paralegal Vanessa Arriaga relieved the stress and uncertainty about my future. Steve was patient in explaining the process to me and I felt he was "on my side" from the beginning. I am glad I chose Dell & Schaefer to represent me. Thank you Steve and Vanessa.
