With a proven high success rate of over 90% in 500+ cases, we at CJ Henry Law Firm guarantee our clients 100% qualified, professional attention to their case.
We cannot guarantee a successful outcome for you or any other future client, but the following list is a small sampling of just a few representative cases that we have handled.

We understand how daunting a disability insurance claim can be when you’re not represented by an ERISA attorney. You’re dealing with conflicting information from the insurance adjuster, you’re constantly filling out forms, and you’re pretty sure that a private investigator is tracking your activity. Then, you get a denial letter. While you may feel like giving up, you have options. An experienced ERISA attorney at CJ Henry Law Firm can help.
Am I Disabled Under ERISA?
Each disability insurance plan has its own definition of disability. Before you can assess your eligibility for either long term or short term disability insurance benefits, you need to review your plan documents. An ERISA attorney can help you obtain and understand the complicated and highly technical information contained in your plan’s summary plan description (SPD) and plan document.
If you’d like to learn about ERISA disability claims and your eligibility, contact CJ Henry Law Firm for a free consultation.
When ERISA covers an insurance plan, the company and its representatives must follow certain policies and procedures. The law also controls the claims and appeals processes.
How Can an Attorney Help You Appeal a Denied Claim?
It’s important to understand that claims under ERISA are handled very differently than other insurance claims (like those involving car crashes). If you disagree with an insurance company’s denial of benefits you must follow a two-step appeal process.
Administrative appeal: the insurance company must review your claim again, assess any additional information you submit, and issue another decision. At this stage, you can submit as much evidence as you want that supports your claim.
Federal lawsuit: after the administrative appeal process is complete, you can file a lawsuit in federal court. However, the judge will not consider any newly-provided evidence that you try to submit. Instead, they will consider whether the insurance company violated certain standards, based on the information in your insurance company case file (sometimes called your “administrative record”).
Both appeals have their own filing deadlines and other requirements as well. An ERISA attorney can make sure that you don’t miss anything that could be detrimental to your appeal.
Because you can’t submit new evidence during a federal court appeal, it’s vital that you get legal assistance early on. Unfortunately, some insurance adjusters discourage disabled workers and their families from consulting with an ERISA attorney. Even if the adjuster or claims representative seems pleasant, they are not on your side. And if you wait too long to speak with an experienced lawyer, you might lose your right to disability insurance benefits.
The sooner you retain an experienced ERISA attorney, the sooner they can start reviewing your claim, stacking your administrative record with supporting evidence and building a comprehensive disability claim strategy for you and your loved ones.
