I hired Justin in 2006 to handle my wife's long term disability claim with her insurance company. Justin assessed the situation and gave us a game plan. He explained everything thoroughly and was a fantastic communicator. Justin was very timely in his work delivery and handled any direct communication with the insurance company. We had a prompt and favorable outcome. I would 100% recommend Justin.

As a dentist, I had heard of colleagues falling victim to debilitating pain related to injuries sustained from our profession. I was one of those dentists who thought that would never be the case for me. So when I found that I could no longer operate my private practice as I had due to physical disability, I was unsure of what to expect next in my career or ability to provide for my family. I also had little understanding of the process of filing and navigating a disability claim. I conducted a national search for an attorney that could assist in this process. I selected Justin Frankel and have not regretted that decision since. I have found both he and his senior paralegal, Christina Panzarella to be nothing short of exceptional. What appeared to be an intimidating process at first has proven to be smooth and supported with the help of Mr Frankel and his expertise. I have full confidence in this firm and cannot provide anything but my highest recommendation for what they are able to do. Thank you for everything you have and continue to do on my behalf!

Those are the best words I can say if someone asked me how my experience was. From the start Justin and his team (shout out to Kristen) understood my frustration but more importantly, they CARED about my plight. They fought hard and long for me and I will be forever in their debt.

As a medical professional for many years, who unfortunately became disabled and had to leave their position, I necessitated an attorney to assist me after my insurance company denied my case, after receiving benefits for 13 yrs. I previously spoke with approximately six law firms but in the end hired Justin. After speaking with him I felt confident in my decision. Justin is easy to talk to and I felt reassured with his background in disability cases, especially CFS/fibromyalgia. I honestly thought I might not ever get through this case, but Justin and his team, including Kristin and Christina, made me feel reassured. They were all professional and supportive throughout the case and were always available when needed. They were successful in reversing the denial and I am very grateful for their assistance. I would highly recommend them and I am happy in the end that I chose them. Thank you Justin, Kristin and Christina.

Highly professional, experts in their field. Justin gave me an outstanding initial consultation. No guarantees, but he explained the merits and risks of my case. Based on his candid assessment, I was able to make a decision to move forward. Justin, Christina and team then did an outstanding job directing me to appropriate medical testing and worked hard to put together an accurate and compelling 223 page appeal. WE WON. My experience with Jason was very different from the last attorney who lost the initial case.

After a successful 27 year career and a severe accident I was unable to continue as a productive employee. Besides the physical and mental medical problems, the emotional suffering had taken a tremendous toll on my entire Family and I. The devastating feeling of a loss of income and then denial of insurance payment felt like nothing we have ever experienced before. My wife researched many Lawyers finding Frankel & Newfield to be the one. While speaking with Justin, I could feel his dedication and confidence in representing me. Justin and his team have been compassionate, responsive, thorough, and readily available. The resulting positive outcome and sense of relief to know my Family will no longer suffer was a direct result of their dedication and hard work. I cannot express enough gratitude. I highly recommend Frankel & Newfield.

After a successful 30 year career, I found myself unable to work due to a chronic medical condition. I was devastated. Besides the physical medical problems, the emotional suffering had taken a tremendous toll on me and my family. I was recommended to Frankel & Newfield, and after speaking with Justin, I finally had the confidence that I would be represented with full support. Justin and his team, Kristin specifically, have been compassionate, responsive, thorough, and readily available at all times. Best of all, within a few months, I received a positive outcome and what I rightfully deserved. I highly recommend Frankel & Newfield.

After experiencing a traumatic injury, I was unable to continue working due to numbness, pain, and lack of strength. Upon submitting my claim to my private disability insurance company and being paid for a few months, the insurance company proceeded to deny my claim and discontinued payment. I was confused, scared, angry and did not know what my rights were or where to turn. After reading Justin Frankel's reviews, I decided to give him a call to discuss my case. Justin was very concise and explained to me my rights and also what a strong case I had. He represented me during my appeal and held my hand with paperwork questions, correspondence, communication, and possibilities of outcome. Even when the insurance company was dragging their feet and requesting everything under the sun to not pay my claim, Justin was able to find a way to have them pay on my claim during this "discovery phase" of the appeal. I will be forever thankful to Mr. Frankel in helping me get the denial reversed. A special shout out to his incredibly efficient Sr. Paralegal Christina. What an incredible team!

I interviewed various firms, not only was Attorney Frankel the most sincere and honest, he was the fairest in cost! Attorney Justin Frankel handled my case with absolute professionalism and in a very expeditious way. He has expert knowledge of how to deal with the complex insurance company policies. He and his team reviewed many hours of medical records and were very resourceful in finding scientific backing for my difficult case. He was able to navigate and untangle the multifaceted requirements from my LTD insurance carrier and successfully won my appeal in record time. He was always very responsive and clear with the information he provided and/or required for my appeal. I am beyond satisfied so I decided to keep his firm on retainer for any future communication with the insurance carrier. Attorney Frankel and his staff, both Kaitlyn and Christina were a delight to work with. They were always quick to respond and compassionate to my situation. It was wonderful to deal with a team that genuinely cared and had a human touch. This firm is rock solid and deserves more than 5 stars!

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all your effort and expertise. From the initial moment of the retainer being signed, I felt a mountain of stress lifted. It’s so unjustly that insurance companies put their clients through stalking, surveillance, and copious measures just to collect on what was promised to us in the initial contract. Will they ever change? How many legal interventions does it take to make insurance entities want to do the right thing? With you and Christina on our side, I was able to sleep at night and proceed forward knowing that I had a right to collect on my benefits. I thank you for the courage and strength that you gave me over the 1 1/2 years that it took to settle. I now have a nest egg to prepare for a potential long term care issue going forward. None of it would have been possible without you.

Justin was a pleasure to work with. I searched online for Long Term Disability lawyers after my claim was denied. I spoke with a few, and ultimately chose Justin and I’m so glad I did. He has been doing this work for years and is knowledgeable about what is required at different insurance companies. I’m used to having to manage service professionals and would call Justin asking if there was anything I could do to help move the process along. However, I’ll never forget him saying: It’s ok, we got this. Trust us. We’ll let you know if we need anything. This was the best advice as I truly didn’t have the capacity to do more. My appeal was approved after 6 months of working with Justin. He even recommended an employment lawyer when that was needed. If you want someone who will go to bat for you and be prompt and professional every step of the way, please work with Justin and Christina (his paralegal who always had a friendly demeanor and warm touch). I’ve never had to hire a Long Term Disability attorney before and would highly recommend them to anyone with the same need.

I practiced and taught dentistry for almost 30 years and never thought I would be looking at disability! When I realized that my back was not going to allow me to continue the profession I had fully dedicated myself to and enjoyed for many years, I was faced with a challenge which I was not prepared to handle. I would not wish this upon anyone who commits to healthcare as I did! I consulted attorney Justin Frankel based upon research and recommendation by my sister. Justin's professionalism, compassion, dedication and knowledge of the field made my difficult and sad journey through disability application process much easier and I am truly grateful. I would highly recommend attorney Justin Frankel and his team and wish them continued success.
