For approximately thirty years I have paid long term disability premiums to John Hancock, with Unum serving as its administrator, to protect my family should I ever become disabled. Well I did, and when I filed a long term disability claim, I was surprisingly denied even though I was unable to perform the usual, customary, and necessary duties of my job description. I searched for a disability attorney, finding Mr. Matthew Maddox who provided a completely free consultation, clearly explaining the entire appeals process, in a manner, that as an attorney or not, was informational and easy to understand. His assistant, Samantha Merritt, was extremely helpful, as she continually followed up with me to make sure I was doing well, and providing the information they required for my appeal to be processed. Mind you, this was a significant amount of money, a six-figure recovery which my family desperately needed as a result of my illness. I would 100% recommend that you consult with Mr. Maddox for any long term disability claims that you may have.

At this point while focused on the recovery of my disability an extremely difficult aspect that I was dealing with was trying to gain an understanding and navigate the nuisances of the short and long term disability coverage that I maintained. I needed the expertise of an experienced law firm, and my search had luckily led me to the Maddox firm, who clearly provided their vast knowledge and insight into interpreting my different policies and what was necessary in relation to dealing with several insurance companies. From the start of engaging the Maddox firm for my short and ultimately long-term disability claims, I felt I was in the great hands of the experienced and resourceful team of Arianna Gonzalez and Matthew Maddox. The administrative claims process and dealing directly with several insurance companies is daunting and Matt and Arianna guided me and facilitated the process on my behalf every step of the way. I was able to continually focus on my required health and medical care as the Maddox firm processed all the correct medical documentation and liaised with the insurers on my behalf. The team of Arianna and Matt leant their understanding of the frustration that my disability had bought about and kept me updated throughout. I am grateful to be working with the Maddox firm who was successful in getting my various short and long term claims approved with different insurance companies. For anyone that must deal with the life and career changes that a short or long term disability brings about, I would advise to alleviate yourself of the burden of dealing directly with the insurance companies and use the professional expertise of the Maddox firm. Having disability coverage is part of the equation, however; there are other facets including the proper implementation of filing all the necessary records and corresponding with insurance companies and the claims examiners. From my experience, the Maddox firm illustrates their hard-work, competence, thorough understanding and personal positivity for their clientele. Matt and Arianna are excellent and caring individuals to work with.

Her demeanor and confident assurances immediately put us at ease, and the manner in which she straight away went to work on our case underscored for us that we'd made the right decision in hiring her. I cannot praise Ms. Redling highly enough. She kept in touch with us every step of the way, and made herself available through all available channels should we want to contact her at any time. When we were stressed and no doubt sounded it, Ms. Redling dealt with our questions and concerns with unflagging patience and calming advice. The results she obtained for us were just as exemplary as her professional manner. Within a very short time the hospital dropped their suit against us, forgave the debt, and paid Ms. Redling's fee for us. This, after almost 3 years of us trying to resolve the matter on our own. We could not have asked for a better outcome, nor a better lawyer. I am hard pressed to imagine a happier scenario for us than the one which played out because of Ms. Redling's professional efforts. My wife and I would/will hire her again should we ever need an attorney, and I would advise anyone else who is considering her to do so also.
