McDermott Law, LLC

I would highly recommend McDermott Law firm. There is no way I would be able to navigate the appeal process. Insurance companys are built to deny LTD insurance claims. McDermott staff and layers takes that situational stess away from you. I want to express my heart felt appreciation to the entire firm who worked on my claim!

McDermott Law came at the recommendation of my wife's disability lawyer and I am ever thankful he did. The team, from start to finish, made me feel like they had my best interest at heart. Their inclusive nature kept me informed while their diligence left me hopeful. When I first spoke with Shawn McDermott, he didn't sugar coat my situation. He thoroughly explained the process and what we were up against. They did their homework well and when documents were submitted, I could really see the work that was put into my case. Because my results ended on a positive note, I know that I am probably biased but I truly believe their efforts changed the direction my life was heading. I couldn't be more thankful.

I hired Tim Garvey of McDermott law to handle my disability benefits appeal. When I hired Tim, I had about 20 years of experience as an attorney, 10 of which were spent hiring and supervising other attorneys in multimillion dollar matters for corporate clients. I've worked with some truly exceptional attorneys over the years in a number of different specialty areas. Tim Garvey was the best hire I've ever made, hands-down. He is an exceptional attorney, and somehow was even more thorough with my case than I was - he absorbed the medical records I'd been living with for nearly a year in a few conversations. When he sent me drafts, I couldn't improve them. He missed nothing. The legal arguments were some of the best I'd ever seen. This is a highly specialized area of the law, and even among those specialists, Tim is absolutely superior, a top 1% talent. There is no amount of money I could have spent to get better representation. Most clients like their lawyer when they win, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're good. While Tim did win my case, I made my judgment about him long before that. I hope you never need him, but if you do, I hope you have the good sense to hire him.

Shawn and Lisa were amazing from my first call to them throughout the entire claims process. I felt fully prepared for the entire process, understood all the potential ways things could go sideways, and gameplans if they did. Any time I had questions or concerns about things they always responded promptly. In the end my claims process was successful and straightforward...in large part because of their guidance, expertise and hard work.

I was extremely fortunate to have MarySue represent me on a complex case during one of the most challenging times of my life battling a large life insurance company. She demonstrated deep knowledge of the law involving ERISA and life insurance that enabled us to win my case. MarySue is extremely attentive to detail, organized, and personable. If I could give this firm more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend.
