How Our Team Helps Our Clients
What Our Clients Say
“Mr. Quiat was very specific about my options, chances of a successful appeal, and the costs of same. We did discuss the possibility of taking the issue to court and costs of such action. My appeal, as directed by Mr. Quiat, with the assistance of professionals at his firm, was successful on the first attempt. There was no need to take the time and incur the costs of a trial.”

The Details Matter
Insurance claims, especially Long Term Disability (LTD) and Long Term Care (LTC) claims, require detail-specific information. Because of this, it’s important to understand what information will be required, including necessary medical and vocational evidence. Together with your attorney, you can avoid making mistakes – before they needlessly derail or delay an otherwise perfectly appropriate claim.
Our clients have suffered from a broad array of disabling injuries and illnesses, such as degenerative disk disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), coronary artery disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Meniere’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, orthopedic impairments, and repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome and back, neck, knee and shoulder problems.
In addition to this, our attorneys have substantial experience working on psychiatric disability claims, representing clients who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other disabling psychiatric diagnoses.
