Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.If we could, we would give McDermott Law firm infinite stars. I called close to 20 law offices trying to get help with our situation. When we finally contacted McDermott law, we were not only listened to, but validated and given sound advice. Shawn and his entire team, Ben, Madelyn, Lisa, and Jacob have been lifesavers for our family through a long and arduous process. Their skill, experience, care, and committment helped us to obtain the best possible outcome. We truly are grateful and can't recommend them highly enough!
I will be forever grateful I was referred to this firm. Shawn, MarySue and Lisa all were very professional, caring, and really took the time to listen. They were there every step of the way getting my ERISA benefits reinstated and through all the annual recertifications. Thank you! Later when my husband became disabled they were successful in his case too! We couldn’t have found a better law firm to represent us!
Having worked as an RN in the healthcare industry for over 40 years, I knew I needed an experienced law team in my court when going up against a big insurance company for my health related claim. Mr McDermott and his team were in my corner the whole way to a favorable outcome. The are always easy to reach and prompt to respond to my questions. FIVE STARS!
Shawn and Lisa were amazing from my first call to them throughout the entire process. I felt fully prepared for the entire process, understood all the potential ways things could go sideways, and gameplans if they did. In the end my claims process was successful and straightforward...in large part because of their guidance and hard work. They were true partners with me in this process and helped me a scary transitional step in my life less anxiety provoking. I'm so grateful for their guidance, advice and hard work on my claims.
I am very happy with the service provided to me by McDermott Law. I had been receiving disability pay from CIGNA for 16 years. When they terminated my pay, I just knew there had to be a mistake. They had always been good to deal with and seemed to actually care. Boy was I wrong! I tried to appeal their decision on my own and failed. Almost lost entirely because I didn't know what I was doing. McDermott Law took over for me and gave me confidence all the way through and settled my case.
If it was not for the team at McDermott Law I would not know what I would have done. They are all awesome, quick to solve a problem and on the ball. My paralegal was always available for questions and so was my attorney. I got my issues solved quickly and professionally I can recommend them highly. ,
Appealing long term disability was a frustrating tiring challenge. I turned to Mr. McDermott and staff for help. Mary Susan Kern represented my case. She is honest, through, compassionate, and passionate. Always taking the time to explain, listen, and take action. She worked diligently and was successful in getting my benefits with CIGNA awarded. Very pleased and grateful for her service. I would highly recommend Mary Susan Kern at McDermott Law, LLC.
Shawn and his staff are very knowledgeable in the area of long term disability. I could not be happier with the way they handled my case. I would highly recommend this firm for anyone who needs help after their long term carrier has denied their claim.
I was injured (TBI-head injury) in an auto accident and I am not able to work. I had applied for short term disability with PERA and the company that does their reviews, UNUM, had denied me benefits. Mr. McDermott was very compassionate, efficient and he listened to my needs. I am glad I found someone that could help me in dealing with these companies who notoriously deny people of their benefits. I was pleased with the outcome and I am thankful for Mr. McDermott's assistance on this matter.
My disabilities are extensive and rare. As a part of my disability, I also struggle to relay my thoughts and/or understand situations and conversation making me a tough client to have, or so I thought. I didn't think I'd be able to find an attorney who would be willing to take the extensive amount of extra time and personal care I require. Shawn proved himself to be gentle, caring and kind and truly went to great lengths for my case. I cannot overstate my gratitude. THANK YOU SHAWN
