No help

Timothy Garvey was extraordinarily great for my auto accident case. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help with their case.

I am so very happy and grateful with the work of Mary Sue Kern. She negotiated my STD and LTD disability with two policies and her advice was invaluable. I am now able to recover with financial peace of mind.

This firm handled my wife’s appeal when her LTD insurance carrier abruptly terminated her benefits. Tim Garvey represented her through the appeal process; he and his team were so helpful in gathering objective and accurate information for the appeal submission. There is no way we could have managed the process without their representation and still won the appeal. This firm is very thorough, organized and responsive.

McDermott Law and my attorney, Tim Garvey receive my highest recommendation.

Mr. Garvey & Mr. McDermott were thorough, detail oriented, realistic, and passionate about their work.

I also interviewed two other firms, but what stood out about McDermott and Mr. Garvey for me was the fact that this is the only type of law they specialize in. At the time I felt, and now have confirmation, they are the experts in Insurance Benefits and ERISA case law.

By the time they started on my case, there was already a tremendous amount of correspondence, information, and context to sift through. Mr. Garvey and the team worked efficiently and collaborated with me to insure all information submitted in the appeal was correct. Most importantly, our appeal was successful, and I’m now receiving LTD benefits and corresponding treatment.

This firm and all of its associates are all things everyone is looking for when hiring representation. They are professional, responsive, thorough, hard working and dogged in their approach to seek justice. I also found their ongoing communication to be excellent. During my case I was assessed by third party professionals who mentioned, without me asking, how highly regarded this firm was. One went so far as to say, "they'd be the ones I'd hire if I had a disability case." I am forever grateful for their work and the successful outcome.

Appealing long term disability was a frustrating tiring challenge. I turned to Mr. McDermott and staff for help. They are honest, through, compassionate, and passionate. Always taking the time to explain, listen, and take action. They worked diligently and were successful in getting my benefits with CIGNA awarded. Very pleased and grateful for their service. I would highly recommend McDermott Law.

If you have an LTD case and have been terminated and need an attorney to look out for you I strongly recommend Shawn, Mary Sue and Shannon! They successfully appealed the termination of my LTD benefits and continued to work with me as the insurance completed their 24 month review to any occupation. The McDermott team are very communicative, caring and always make themselves available to answer your questions and concerns. I am grateful I have them working with me!

Very caring and professional. They helped my wife with her dispute against UNUM.

Tim went above and beyond for us today. So very grateful. Thank you so much, Tim.

Very pleased with the overall service and commitment to the clients needs. They ensured a strong case was presented to ensure my benefits were turned on again, after MetLife had stopped them unjustly. I would definitely recommend them to others.

I have only great things to say about the professionals at McDermott Law Firm. They answer my questions in a timely manner and are always friendly. I don't feel like a number and that personal care is much appreciated. I would certainly refer them to all my friends and family.

My long-term disability insurance cancelled my monthly payments and I needed a lawyer to have them reinstated. McDermott Law, LLC did a great job getting my payments started again. They worked diligently and very professionally in achieving that goal. My husband and I were very pleased. Thank you.

Have you ever heard a lawyer joke? None of them apply here! This law firm exists solely for the purpose of rewriting all of those jokes! From Emily Fourcroy and MarySue Kern to Heather Petitmermet Esq. and Shawn McDermott Esq. you will not find a better group of people to help you in what can be a highly stressful and downright disheartening time of need.

I contacted Heather when I was unjustly denied benefits from a disability insurance carrier. I met with her and came away thoroughly impressed and finally feeling someone was "on my side." Boy, was I right. After months of work with Heather and Emily Heather was "called away" by the birth of a child. Shawn picked up right where Heather left off and went to work. We fought together until the insurance company finally found the error of their ways and my benefit was reinstated. From beginning to end my dealings with everyone were friendly, professional, and empathetic. I strongly recommend the firm with no hesitation.

Please call Shawn, Heather, Emily and MarySue and they WILL help you. They WILL treat you with compassion and respect. Most importantly, they WILL do everything in their power to make a difference for you and your specific situation.

I would like to show everyone my thank you letter to Shawn. He was the most professional lawyer I found and was more than willing to help me with my claim.

Shawn,
I would like to thank you for the consultation meeting with me concerning my MetLife short term disability claim denial letter. Fortunately my long term claim has been approved. I feel that the information you gave me in the consultation and on your web site directly led to me receiving the benefits for long term disability from MetLife. I appreciate the information and newsletters posted on your web site and usually need to look up past articles for solutions to navigate the process of keeping the disability claim open due to the many loop holes placed in my policy. I wish my Employer would have been on your site while choosing the disability group plan I was enrolled in. The information provided on your site could help Employers provide the benefits they intend to provide and paid for without all of the loop holes you describe.

Thank you,
Ty Sangl

Thanks to Shawn McDermott's law firm and Heather Petitmermet’s close attention to my case my lawsuit was won in just six weeks time!

Being disabled is hard enough and then having to worry about money is terrible! I no longer have to worry about making ends meet and have enough money to save for the future.

I spoke to all of the law firms that do disability law in my local area and some nationally to help me with my case. I could tell immediately that Shawn McDermott knew what he was doing more than anyone else. He immediately made me feel confident and comfortable and that if my case was a winning case he could win it and he was right! His entire law firm took care of me during this difficult time and now I have peace of mind.

If you have a disability case against a company, the Law Office of Shawn McDermott's is the one to choose! I am so glad I picked them. I really appreciate what they did for me. Anne Delphia
