Our client, like many disabled workers, thought that she would be protected against income loss by the disability insurance she had through her employer. However, the insurance company decided to cut off her long-term disability benefits. When she came to us, our client was quickly running out of money and out of options. Less than a year after our firm was retained we secured for our client a six-figure settlement, including past benefits owing and future disability benefits compensation extending far into the future.

Property Owner secures Injunction against Family Member Claiming Ownership to her Recreational Property

Nurse Settles Constructive Dismissal Case Against Former Employer

Constructive dismissal actions can be challenging for former employees because the employee bears the burden of proving that the employer changed the circumstances of their employment so much that the employee was entitled to quit for good reason. Our client was just such a person.

We often resolve our cases at mediation, long before our clients bear the time and expense of trial. We are firm believers in utilizing Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms to obtain cost-effective results in the shortest time possible.
