About The Maddox Firm - Long Term Disability and ERISA
The Maddox Firm is a New York City-based law firm dedicated entirely to long term disability and ERISA matters. Located at 30 Wall St in Lower Manhattan, the firm works with individuals whose private disability insurance claims have been denied or terminated, as well as employees fighting for benefits under employer-sponsored group plans governed by ERISA. Their focused practice area means clients work with attorneys who handle these specific disputes every day rather than attorneys who treat disability cases as one of many practice areas. The firm holds a perfect 5-star rating on Yelp based on client reviews, reflecting a consistent record of attentive service. For workers in New York's financial sector and beyond, where employer-provided disability coverage through group plans is common, having a firm that understands both the insurance side and the federal law governing those plans can make a significant difference. The Maddox Firm can be reached at (212) 970-1190 to discuss your situation.

How They Can Help
The Maddox Firm helps clients at every stage of a long term disability or ERISA dispute, from reviewing your policy language and initial denial letter to filing formal administrative appeals and, when necessary, pursuing litigation in federal court. They analyze the specific terms of your disability plan, identify the insurer's stated reasons for denial, and build a factual and legal record designed to counter those arguments. Because ERISA imposes strict procedural deadlines and limits the evidence that can be introduced in court to what was submitted during the administrative process, having legal guidance early in the appeals process is particularly important.
What to Expect
When you contact The Maddox Firm, they will typically start by reviewing your disability policy or plan documents along with any denial correspondence you have received. From there, they assess the strength of your claim, explain the deadlines that apply to your situation, and outline the steps involved in pursuing an appeal or litigation. Clients are kept informed as the firm builds the administrative record, gathers supporting medical documentation, and submits the appeal to the insurer or plan administrator. If the appeal is unsuccessful, the firm can advise on federal court options under ERISA.
Service Area
The Maddox Firm serves clients throughout New York City and the surrounding region from their office in Lower Manhattan.
