I have a policy for Long-Term Health Care Benefits with a major company that I took out 15 years ago. This past year when I filed a claim they approved some of the claims but denied others. I hired George Thompson to review my policy and he filed an appeal indicating that the benefits they denied are clearly covered by my policy. Upon further review by the company, they approved the claims they had denied earlier. Because of George Thompson’s efficiency and knowledge of the insurance industry the additional cost to me was minimal

George Thompson was a great lawyer for me in helping my get back on my LTD insurance. I wasn’t getting much, and most lawyers wouldn’t even consider helping me because it wasn’t “worth it” for them, but my meager income is vital for my family. Not only did George represent me for a reasonable price, he helped me get the tests I needed to prove that I was still disabled…three times! That’s right, on three separate occasions I was kicked off of my LTD insurance…the first, because they seemingly kick off everyone after a year or two and see if they can win an appeal; the second, because an incompetent assistant to my specialist incorrectly filled out the forms from the insurance company; and the third time, because my company tried to kick me off because they thought I could work enough even though they knew I couldn’t work FT. George was successful with all 3 claims, and he communicated with me well throughout the process.

George helped me with getting back my long term insurance from a job that just completely shut me out after I had to go in disability for good. As they told me that I was well enough to return to work. George not only took on my case but had followed through and won he continued to make sure I was taken care of. When I had been hospitalized for a couple of months on and off he not only got an extension on filing the appeal but he drove to my home on New Years day to interview me and do a small video! He was able to get the insurance to pay me back pay,l, as well as continuing coverage until I’m 65!! We are so grateful for his service! Thank you always George!

We hired Attorney Thompson to represent an elderly parent with an issue involving a long-term care insurance policy. Attorney Thompson was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and skilled in navigating us to an excellent solution. He was very responsive, too. If he was being graded, he would get an A+.

Mr. Thompson came highly recommended to us and he lived up to his reputation and then some. He listened to our issue with a long-term care insurance policy and recommended an effective solution to stop the game-playing and get the benefits under the policy. One letter later and the problem was resolved! He knows the law and he is fast, efficient and results-oriented. I highly recommend George Thompson.

This is written in gratitude to Attorney George Thompson. I am the court appointed guardian of my 45-year-old son who suffered a traumatic brain injury caused by a motorcycle accident. When the insurance company providing my adult son’s long-term disability benefits decided that he was no longer disabled I was stunned. The insurance company’s decision was completely at odds with my son’s ongoing cognitive and physical deficits diagnosed by licensed therapists and a neuropsychologist. Not surprisingly, a Social Security Administration review, conducted after the insurance company’s termination decision, concluded that my adult son in fact has a continuing disability. Being an attorney, I thought the insurance company’s ill-conceived decision would not be difficult to refute. I quickly learned that this area of the law is fraught with technical landmines and beyond my ability. I, also, learned that very few attorneys have the experience to navigate this esoteric area of the law. It was exceedingly difficult to obtain a referral for an attorney experienced in appealing terminations of long-term disability benefits. I was beginning to feel very discouraged and fearful that my son’s benefits would never be reinstated. Then I spoke with Attorney George Thompson. He understood the severity of my son’s injuries and the ramifications of the insurance company’s arbitrary denial of benefits. I will never forget the sense of relief I felt after my first conversation with Attorney Thompson. In the years since my son’s accident, I have found very few, even within the medical community, who understand the unique manifestations of a brain injury. Attorney Thompson has a keen knowledge and empathy of how a traumatic brain injury can subtly manifest itself. Given my son’s diagnoses and Social Security Administration’s decision, I knew we had grounds for a legitimate appeal. I also knew that there was no guarantee of a successful outcome. What I did know was that my son’s appeal was in good hands with Attorney Thompson. When we received notice that Attorney Thompson had won my son’s appeal, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. My son’s benefits will be reinstated and he will receive retroactive payments. Most importantly Attorney Thompson’s win required the insurance company to acknowledge that my son continues to be disabled. Attorney Thompson’s work demonstrates the best of the legal profession. He is held in greatest esteem by our family.

After months of waiting for my insurance company to make a decision, my long term disability (LTD) claim was denied. I had suffered a medical crisis which left me with a disability and could not understand the insurance company’s decision. I was fortunate to find and retain Attorney George Thompson who is a highly skilled, experienced LTD attorney. He was a strong advocated for me. Attorney Thompson knew what critical information needed to be emphasized and he composed a clear, logic tight argument which resulted in the insurance company quickly reversing their denial decision, and approving my long term disability claim. Thank you Attorney Thompson!

So… My wife fell ill, which was stressful. She kept getting worse, which was more stressful. Then she needed oxygen and wheelchairs and couldn’t work any longer and I had to sell my business and find a new job so I could stay home to care for her and we had doctor’s appointments nearly every day and she was having seizures and her insurance kept denying that she was ill… Have I mentioned the stress yet? Then we found Mr. Thompson. When I look back at those two or three years when everything was bleak, confusing, scary, frantic, and (dare I say it?) stressful, but honestly, Mr. Thompson stands out as one of the very, very few bright points in our lives at that time. He was able to answer our frantic, barely coherent questions very calmly in language we could understand, he answered our messages and calls quickly, he shielded us from the insurance company so we weren’t getting two or three letters a day from them, and was able to help us through one of the most difficult periods in our lives with grace. We finally felt as though we had a true ally in our fight, and that meant the world to us.
