Thank you Ed. Ed is professional and knowledgeable. He responded quickly to any questions and was very calming in this messy situation, especially this year. I'm very glad he was our lawyer and would recommend him highly.

Best practice in all of New York.

I first contacted Jason when it became apparent my multiple sclerosis symptoms were progressing too rapidly to continue a full-time career. He gave me lots of great advice and we were planning to file the paperwork for a partial disability claim. Days before completing the paperwork, however, I had an acute exacerbation significantly affecting my mobility and the claim became "total and complete" disability. MS can be challenging and many people I know have their claims rejected the first round. One of my policies was an ERISA policy and needed a Social Security application. ALL of my claims were approved FIRST round! (Granted, I had to do my part, but Jason certainly did his!) It has been over 6 years and he continues to help manage my insurers and what information they are entitled to and what isn't relevant. I even tried starting a small business (didn't succeed), but he helped guide me through different scenarios and how they might affect my claim. Though this illness has given me many challenges, one thing I haven't had to worry about is my disability insurance payments. I'm glad to have Jason as my advocate!

Having an issue re: my mother and her broker's potential failings, I contacted their firm and was promptly put through directly to Robert V. He was patient, accommodating and asked all the right questions to guide me through the process of delineating the issue(s) at hand. He knowledge of statutes was not by any means limited to NY, as he understood various specifics about other states and, of course, federally. Robert was also able to shed light on additional angles of our potential case that I had previously not thought of. Most importantly, Robert represented that he was committed to helping us MORE than just flat-out vying to represent us. He gave us legitimate, fair, and honest feedback and advice. If we do pursue further action, there is no doubt that we will retain him. Strong recommendation because of their insight and stand-up character. Thank you.

Jason is a great attorney. I'm a physician and he helped me navigate the muddy waters of disability claims. I had own-occupational disability insurance. My family's financial security was at risk from my disease and he was able to get me approved on my claim. After about the first five minutes of our first phone call, I new he would be my guy. He took me step by step through the claims process. How to organize your medical records, request certain forms from doctors, and how to draft an own occupation job description. It's important for other's to know, since you are filing with giant insurance companies, Jason can represent you even if you are far away from him. Remember, it may cost some $ to hire an attorney, but you have a ton more to loose if your sick, can't work and can't get the resources that are owed to you, I will continue to work with him and have zero reservations of recommending him to anyone.

Having spent most of my life in Show Business and also having grown up around and dabbled in my family’s business of Real Estate, I’ve certainly had my share of dealings with attorneys. I’ve gone back and forth with Entertainment attorneys, engaged with Copywrite attorneys, and sometimes even battled with Buyer’s and Seller’s attorneys during real estate transactions. Some of these folks were up to par, some of them absolutely dismal. Harvey Fox, however, is simply the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. To give you a bit of background, Harvey represented me with the sale of my home in East Hampton during the Covid 19 pandemic. Selling a home under the usual duress is stressful enough, but selling during a global pandemic when “under the gun” to get things lined up for new surveys and a new Certificate of Occupancy is like trying to thread a needle with your eyes closed. Harvey was with me every step of the way during this incredibly stressful time answering every question and assuaging every fear. That he is a brilliant attorney goes without saying, but Harvey Fox goes much further than that. Harvey thinks “out of the box”. There was never a second during this extremely difficult sale that I had one iota of doubt that Harvey “had my back”. He is a gem of a man, an extraordinarily talented lawyer, and a caring human being. This combination is golden when seeking the very best representation and I can’t recommend Harvey Fox highly enough. He will always be my “go to” attorney and, when we’ve found a way out of this pandemic, I am very much looking forward to thanking him in person.

I found Jason Newfield through an internet search for disability lawyers after my initial claim was denied. I spoke to a few disability attorney's but he seemed the most knowledgeable and hands-on (working the case directly versus passing on to junior counsel). He was very thoughtful and professional and most importantly, was able to successfully resolve the claim. I would highly recommend him for disability issues if you have a similar need.

Jason Newfield, Esq., is a very knowledgeable, professional, and kind lawyer. He is thorough, helpful, and responsive. He is quick in returning e-mails and prompt with paperwork. He shows perseverance and helped me greatly. I highly recommend him.
