Excellent representation and support provided with genuine care

No one ever wants to be disabled - it completely changes your life and also affects the people you love. Living with disability is extremely challenging and stressful which is why having the best legal representation is so important. But ‘the best’ doesn't just mean the ability to provide outstanding legal service; it also means providing that service with genuine care. Dell & Schaefer’s attorney Rachel Alters, along with paralegal Anneli DeCardenas, did everything possible to help get me the benefits I needed and have continued to support me over the last 6 years with skill as well as compassion. I am so incredibly grateful to them both and while I wouldn’t wish disability on anyone, I would absolutely recommend D&S to anyone in need of disability insurance representation.

Greg Dell

The financial stress that comes with living with a disabling condition is significant. Even if you are fortunate to be covered by a private or company disability policy you never feel secure as your disability benefits are not guaranteed regardless of your condition. Greg Dell and his staff greatly understand this and will do everything in their power to protect you. Greg has represented me for the past five years. He is an incredibly diligent attorney. If you find yourself in the same unfortunate situation that I am in, I can’t think of anyone that would be a better advocate then Greg.

Its simple...The Best!!!

Its simple, without them, I would have not only been rejected for LTD from my employer's insurance company (Prudential) but would have lost it numerous time due to their attempts at cancelling coverage They are caring and aggressive professionals who I would recommend to anyone eligible for disability insurance coverage.

I strongly recommend Dell & Schaefer.

I strongly recommend Dell & Schaefer to anyone in need of disability insurance representation. Since the beginning of our relationship, both Steven Jay and Gregory Michael Dell have been attentive to my needs and immediately responsive to my concerns and questions.
I could not be more satisfied and pleased with their service and advice.

Peace of mind

Having Greg Dell as my advocate the past 7 years has given me the invaluable peace of mind that comes with being represented by the best. I am convinced he will go to any length to protect my benefits. During our first conversation in 2012, he spent 15 minutes asking me question after question. I could tell he was building an understanding not only of my case, but of me as a person. Near that time Unum decided to halve my benefits for flimsy reasons. Greg pounced like a lion on prey - quickly and viciously. He immediately returned Unum’s half check making it clear in capital letters (literally) that we would not accept it. His scathing letter demonstrated a thorough knowledge of my case, the law, and even arcane medical coding which proved the number of operations I performed yearly (I am a surgeon). He made it very clear he was prepared to go in front of a judge any time, using such terms as “breach of contract.” Unum reversed its decision in 24 hours, and I have been receiving full benefits ever since. I don’t think there is any question: Unum would rather spend its time and money going after some other benefits recipient than one who has the protective shell Greg Dell provides.

I was very lucky to have found Dell and Schaefer as I suffer from Chronic Cluster headaches. Having been diagnosed with this debilitating illness for over 10 years the headaches themselves have a nick name of the suicide headache the pain is that sever and I multiple attacks per day and they tend to last between 3 to 4 hours each headache I cant even due the simplest of tasks as my brain shuts down totally during the event and is very slow to recover once the event is over. In my case I needed someone I trusted implicitly that knew my situation and could even think for me they have been more then my attorney they are family and they are like having another Dad and Mom. You could not be in better hands at a time in your life that need the best there are no better.

Highly recommended!

Gregory Dell represented me over the past year in a disability claim. He responded quickly to emails and telephone calls, and was very helpful. The outcome was good. If I had to go through the same thing again, I would again choose Gregory Dell to represent me.

I am a retired physician and client 0f Dell & Schaefer, who was having difficulty getting my personal disability insurance company to pay on my disability claim. I retired on 12/31/2007 and by March of 2007, I had been approved for my Social Security Disability al on my own. Mind you it was a little tricky, because I did not fit into the usual 6 categories that SS approves. I then turned my attention to the insurer of my private policy and I was stonewalled. Then came my lucky break, a Dell & Schaefer attorney came to my house. It turns out he has been best friends with my son for many years and someone I had known since he was 11 years old. When I found out what he was doing, I asked him to take a look at my policy and he said, this is what I do all the time, I can take care of this. He certainly did take care of the problem, within 3 weeks, a meeting was arranged and 3 weeks after that I received my first monthly check along with all the checks going back to January. Since then all check were paid promptly. My Dell & Schaefer attorney is awesome as well as his staff, would recommend this group very highly.

Nobody wants to file for disability insurance and I read so many bad stories about disability insurance companies. Working with Greg Dell and Cesar Gavidia at Dell & Schaefer was a very enjoyable experience. They took away all of my anxiety about the claim process and they have handled everything perfectly. Thank you guys!

I would recommend them to anyone

I never thought that I would find a law firm that could understand my particular disability case until I found Dell and Schaefer. I would readily use them again in retrospect, and I was fortunate that we found each other. They went above and beyond, and the lawyers made me feel like I was their most important client. They took charge to assert my rights as a client to my disability insurer to secure my claim. I realize that not all claims work out the way people want, but I at least knew that Dell and Schaefer were doing everything they could for my case.

Don’t try to navigate the system without legal advise

6 years ago I was instructed by my neurosurgeon to quit performing surgery and delivering babies due to a cervical myelopathy and loss of feeling in my right hand. After getting over the shock of a forced retirement at age 59, I was fortunately referred to Greg Dell. He navigated the paperwork for us and fought with the insurance companies to make sure I received what I was due after paying for disability insurance for almost 30 years. After all, the insurance companies will look for any excuse not to pay your claim. In my opinion, his fee is a small price to pay for peace of mind and I can recommend him without hesitation.
