The Maddox Firm LLC - Long Term Disability / ERISA

I am incredibly grateful to Matthew Maddox and Arianna Gonzalez at The Maddox Firm for their outstanding support in securing my long-term disability benefits from The Hartford. The process was complex, especially with the pre-existing condition limitations in my policy, but their team handled everything seamlessly.

They took care of all communication with The Hartford, gathered and submitted my medical records, and completed all the required paperwork. Their knowledge of the claims process and commitment to my case gave me confidence every step of the way.

Thanks to their expertise and persistence, my claim was approved, giving me the much needed financial security. Their ongoing support has been invaluable and because of their exceptional work and results, we’ve decided to retain The Maddox Firm for continued claim management to ensure my benefits remain secure, so I can focus on my health.

I wholeheartedly recommend The Maddox Firm to anyone dealing with a disability claim—their dedication, knowledge, and relentless advocacy truly set them apart. Having them in your corner can make all the difference!

The Maddox Firm was extremely valuable in securing my disability benefit from my former employee. They are knowledgable of disability law and will assume responsibility for navigating the employer and insurance company! I highly recommend the Maddox firm! Thank you. Barbara

I would highly recommend The Maddox Firm for managing your long term disability claim or appeal.

My partner recently became disabled with Long Covid. Matt and Ari at The Maddox Firm were some of the first people whom we felt truly listened, cared, and believed my partner’s diagnosis. Throughout the process of my partner’s long term disability claim with his insurance company (Lincoln), Matt and Ari provided such thoughtful and empathetic expertise and guidance, advocating for us at every possibility, and providing recommendations for strengthening our claim that we felt provided the strongest, clearest evidence for the impact this disability has had on my and my partner’s lives.

We also appreciated that they have a strong, supportive, and kind network of experienced doctors that they can work closely with throughout the process. And they went out of their way to meet an early deadline to help my partner navigate the end of his approved leave, and put us in touch with fantastic and supportive lawyers for employment and SSDI.

Because of their expertise, dedication, and advocacy, we ultimately won my partner’s appeal. The decision came back extremely quickly—which I attribute to the irrefutable evidence Matt and Ari expertly presented. We could not have navigated all the paperwork and policies without them, and both my partner and I feel endlessly grateful to have been able to find and work with such empathetic experts who were always there to help lead us through the most difficult times. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend the Maddox Firm for anyone dealing with an ERISA disability claim. Matt and Ari went above and beyond to guide my partner and I through a challenging process, handling our questions and concerns with patience and empathy. Over the better part of a year, they persistently worked on my long term disability claim and appeal, connecting me with experts to strengthen my case, and communicating with my employer. With their knowledge, guidance, and dedication, my appeal became so comprehensive that it was ultimately approved almost immediately after it was filed. If you’re looking for a lawyer that will truly make your case a priority, the Maddox Firm is a great choice

I had a horrible accident in June 2021 that led to me becoming permanently disabled. My long term disability insurance company, the Standard, initially started paying monthly amounts to me. However, after a couple of years, they stopped and claimed I could return to work. I hired Matthew Maddox and his firm to represent me in the appeal process. He did a wonderful job; I could not have asked for more. He was very compassionate to my condition. At the same time, he was meticulous and thorough collecting information about my disability from my doctors and former colleagues. About two weeks after the appeal submission, the Standard completed a review of my case and restored my benefits! I recommend the Maddox Firm to represent everyone that has been wrongfully denied long term disability insurance benefits!

Dear Matt and Ari,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your assistance in securing my short-term and long term disability benefits from MetLife. Your expertise, dedication, and support have been invaluable during this challenging time.

From our initial consultation to the successful resolution of my claim, you demonstrated a deep understanding of the intricacies of disability law and provided clear guidance at every step. Your attention to detail and prompt communication helped to alleviate my concerns and navigate the complexities of the claims process.

The approval of my short-term and long term disability benefits have provided me with the financial support necessary to focus on my health and treatment without the added stress of financial uncertainty. I truly appreciate your hard work and commitment to my case.

Once again, thank you for your exceptional service and unwavering support. I am grateful to have had you as my advocate and would not hesitate to recommend your services to others in need.

Warmest wishes,

The Maddox Law Firm is hands down the best long-term disability law firm in the universe. It's the only one I've ever worked with, but it's the only one I would ever work with or recommend. I was referred to Maddox by a different employment lawyer, and I want to send the referring lawyer roses. But I want to send Matthew, Arianna, and Edna full vacation packages to the destination of their choosing. These three angels who make up the Maddox Law Firm (as far as I know) saved my life, saved my home, and saved my family. My thanks cannot be overstated. What's more, the whole experience has been humane, kind, and clear, and as fast as possible. Tears of gratitude have poured from my face more than twice in the few months I have worked with them. There is so much fear and confusion when you're in the position of needing disability benefits approved. Maddox knows that, so not only did they handle my long-term disability case, they replaced my fear with safety, and confusion with clarity. They know exactly what they are doing. I know this review is rambling, and I could write about how great Maddox is for another four paragraphs, but I'll wrap it up here:

If you need to apply for or appeal disability (long-term disability insurance or short-term disability insurance), don't do it yourself, stop shopping for lawyers, and stop reading this review—it's a waste of crucial time. Contact Matthew, Arianna, and Edna; your overwhelm will vanish, and you'll be rocketed toward the solution you need in what I know, first-hand, is the most difficult time of your life.

How do I start my review of the Maddox Firm, maybe it’s with saying “Thank You” for helping me out with my Short Term and Long Term Disability claims when I felt I was at my lowest!!!

I contracted COVID and was impacted by Long Haul symptoms related to cognition requiring me to go on STD from work.

My STD Insurance Company denied my claim after several weeks and after a quick panic I was referred to Matt by a coworker and hired him and his outstanding assist Ari.

Within several weeks of hiring them, a check from the STD Insurance Company was deposited into my account for the 2.5 months of missing pay due to the denial/appeal.

For Long Term Disability, Matt knew who to send me to for testing that specializes in cognitive impairment issues. I had a check from the insurance company for LTD before I had even heard I was approved via mail.

Matt is an outstanding attorney who I will definitely be retaining and Ari will hold your hand through the whole process!!!

Thanks again to both of you!!!

Matt Maddox and Ari Gonzalez are two of the best legal professionals I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I have known both of them for years, and they have been instrumental in handling my long-term disability claim. They are very erudite in all facets of LTD claims, work quickly and efficiently, answer all questions and do their best to keep the claim experience as stress-free as possible. If you need assistance with your LTD claim, your search should start and end with The Maddox Firm.

The law firm of Mr Maddox and Adrianna Gonzalez is reliable and trustworthy. Since my first phone call with them, I had the pleasure of speaking to Miss Adrianna Gonzalez, who listened to me with great attention and provided me with sincere responses.

Adrianna was able to address my concerns and calm down my anxieties until I had a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Maddox. During that meeting, he had already read my policy for long-term disability and provided me with different scenarios that could happen with the insurance company. I was impressed by his level of preparation and expertise in the matter.

The meeting took place at his office on Wall Street in New York Manhattan, and even though he was mainly in the shadows, he would interject from his experience to lead it back to the policy. After the meeting, I felt like it was a breeze, but I knew it would not have happened if Mr. Maddox hadn't been there.

He is a great person who is a knowledgeable attorney with experience in long-term disability. It's not easy to find one in the first place, and if you do, I can guarantee they are not Mr. Maddox. And you can tell that he knows what he is doing. In conclusion, I strongly recommend Mr Maddox if you need an excellent, prepared attorney. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

Thank you
