How do you select a lawyer for an appeal?
I recently had an ERISA LTD claim denied. I believe I have a good case for appeal.
I’ve spoken to 4 ERISA lawyers about my case and they all seem very competent. They all seem to be familiar with my particular diagnoses/disabilities and say they have successfully fought my particular insurer for these disabilities and won.
They all seem like nice people that I could work with and who know the field.
A couple have said they are ready to take me on as a client based on my denial letter. Another said that they would need to see my entire claim file before deciding to go take me on but in general seemed positive about the prospects based on my denial letter.
What things should I be looking for as I screen attorneys?
No attorney is going to say they’re inexperienced or that they’re too swamped to give my case attention… but I don’t want to discover that mid-way through the appeal process.
