Mr. Quiat was very specific about my options, chances of a successful appeal, and the costs of same. 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.

Mr. Quiat, and his team were able to reinstate my disability benefits discontinued by Aetna Insurance. Mr. Quiat was always available, and responded quickly to any inquiries, questions I had via phone, email or through his team. Very professional, and detailed. I highly recommend Mr. Quiat. I would use his services again!

Mike took the time in our initial meeting to truly understand my situation and what I was up against. He listened to my concerns and never pressured me to make a decision to retain his services. Mike allows for input from you in developing your appeal. He referred me to the appropriate doctors and to an Occupational Therapist for testing in order to document my disability. There was constant communication via email or by telephone. Mike is dependable, he does what he says he is going to do and he follows up on the action steps. He is straightforward with you and realistic about your chances with the appeal and the time frame involved. He has a professional office with a very competent staff including paralegals. Mike is highly experienced in dealing with the major insurance carriers. He is also very personable and he made additional recommendations to me regarding my well-being. He is the No. 1 individual disability in the state. Simply put, he is the best, hands down. I highly recommend him.

As I was facing some of the most difficult times of my life with seemingly no way out, I was most fortunate to meet Michael Quiat. Among other things, I was in search for a long-term disability attorney I felt I could trust, and put my life in their hands. I researched the internet thoroughly and met various LTD attorneys. But it was not until I met Michael Quiat that I began to believe that all was not lost. Mike sat with me, focused fully on my situation. He did not interrupt but listened intently. At the end of my verbal dissertation, he calmly and with the highest level of confidence said, “Everything will be alright. We will work through this together and begin to turn your life around.” At that very moment, I felt as if a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I believed in him because I knew he believed in himself. Michael was by my side as we completed the entire filing process, and continues to be there still should I have any questions or concerns. He makes himself available as if I were his only client, which I am certain I am not. He has been more than just an attorney who has helped me successfully receive my long-term disability. He has been a friend and advocate as well. He has been instrumental in helping me start to take control of my life once again. Though the road ahead may still be long, it brings me great comfort and solace to know that I will not be walking that road alone, but will always have Michael by my side. Thank you Michael for all you have done, and continue to do, for my family and me. A most grateful and satisfied client.

Michael Quiat handled my long-term disability case and did so in a very caring manner. He was a great advocate and always quick to return phone calls. My case was a psychiatric disability case but he never treated me like I was crazy or showed me anything but the utmost respect. At this juncture in my life, I, unfortunately, was dealing with eight or nine different attorneys all on different matters. To put it nicely, I so wish Mike could have handled every single one for me. To put it not so nicely, out of this bunch the only one I can be 100% certain that is not going straight to hell is Mike. And a long overdue thank you for not charging 18% interest on an overdue bill while I was unable to pay it. I did settle up as soon as I could and wish my accountant would take a page out of your book. Folks, the only thing I can say is don’t get used to it. Other attorneys are not cut from the same cloth. I recommend him most highly.
