The Details Matter
Insurance claims, especially Long Term Disability (LTD), and Long Term Care (LTC) claims require detail-specific information. Because of this, it’s important to understand what information will be required, including necessary medical and vocational evidence. Mistakes can be avoided together — before they needlessly derail or delay an otherwise perfectly appropriate claim.
We have clients suffering from a broad array of disabling injuries and illnesses such as degenerative disc disease, multiple sclerosis Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), coronary artery disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Meniere’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, orthopedic impairments, repetitive stress injuries (RSI) such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back, neck, knee, and shoulder problems.
In addition to this, our office has substantial expertise working on psychiatric disability claims, representing clients who are suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other psychiatric disability diagnoses.

Testimonials
“Words from our five-star reviews. We have over 50, five-star reviews on Google.”
We did discuss the possibility of taking the issue to court and costs of such action. My appeal, as directed by Mr. Quiat, with the assistance of professionals at his firm, was successful on the first attempt. There was no need to take the time and incur the costs of a trial. “
They consistently provided me with erroneous and conflicting information. After becoming frustrated, I decide to contact Attorney Michael Quiat for consultation. He provided me with very sound advise for my situation. The issue with the insurance company was resolved within two weeks of receiving consultation. “
Mr. Quiat took the time in our initial meeting to listen and understand my situation. He and Mr. Zelkowitz are very thorough and always responsive to questions and concerns. They are dependable, extremely experienced, diligent, detailed oriented and very professional.
Needless to say, they successfully represented me with my claim. I have tremendous confidence in their abilities and highly recommend Mr. Quiat, Mr, Zelkowitz and the entire team at Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo. “
