I highly recommend McKennon Law Group. They not only won my case but Robert McKennon, Cory and Debi have been amazingly kind and compassionate during the entire stressful process. When my long term disability insurer abruptly stopped paying me, I was completely stressed and distressed. The insurance rep was uncaring and didn’t convey any understanding of my medical condition, even ignoring my Dr. Once I found McKennon Law Group, I knew I was in the right hands. Everyone made themselves available and took the time to listen and help me get through the stressful process. McKennon got my benefits reinstated and prior benefits paid. They are here for the long haul with me, even after my case was settled, to ensure my insurer doesn’t falter on the payments/settlement.– (S. Gottlieb)

I had a problem with my former employer not paying the full amount of pension benefits that I was promised over many years. McKennon Law Group PC took my case and fought to get me the full amount. Robert McKennon and Joseph Hoff were excellent in handling the overall process including their knowledge and skill, quickly replying to my questions and always keeping me informed on the status of the case. Thanks to them, I’ll be able to retire as I had planned. I was very impressed with their skill and knowledge as well as their prompt responses to my questions and timely communications on the status of the case. I highly recommend the firm for anyone having a problem with getting their ERISA claim or pension paid.– (I. Olsen)

I am so grateful to the attorneys of the McKennon Law Group PC, who represented me diligently and persevered with my claim for life insurance proceeds against the insurance company when it tried to rescind my policy due to some technical errors in the application. They brought the insurance company to the negotiation table by filing a Complaint in Louisiana when the insurance company refused to discuss pre-litigation settlement. After several months of litigation, the insurance reconsidered and engaged in settlement talks. Thanks to the excellent work of McKennon Law Group PC, I was able to get a portion of the insurance proceeds for my grandchildren. Thank you for taking my case and making my life better. – (Donnita B. 2024)

I needed to hire the best ERISA pension attorneys I could find to assist me with collecting my pension benefits that were wrongfully denied me by my prior employer. I found them in McKennon Law Group PC. I can’t express enough how satisfied I am with them, not only with the results they achieved for me but also with how the overall process was handled by my attorneys Robert McKennon and Joseph Hoff.
For years my employer told me that once I retired I would receive a specific pension benefit amount per month. I relied on this information in making financial decisions. After I submitted paperwork to start receiving the pension I was told that the amount had been miscalculated and the actual amount I would receive was less than half of what I was promised. I tried to work things out with the pension plan but got nowhere. That’s when I called McKennon Law Group PC. They got to work quickly and filed a lawsuit and negotiated a very favorable confidential settlement with my employer that included payment of my promised benefits and my attorneys’ fees and costs. Because of that settlement I will be able to retire as I had planned to do. I was very impressed with the skill and knowledge of the firm’s attorneys as well as their prompt responses to my questions and timely communications on the status of the case. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC to anyone who needs an ERISA attorney or is having trouble collecting on a pension benefit. – (S. Olsen 2024)

McKennon Law Group PC stepped in for my lawyer in Texas that had lost my ERISA accidental death and dismemberment case at trial concerning the tragic accidental death of my husband from a fall. The insurer who issued the accidental death insurance policy to my husband denied my claim because it stated that his death was caused in part by pre-existing cardiac issues. McKennon Law Group PC took my case and appealed it to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana. Based on the firm’s excellent reputation, we resolved my accidental death insurance claim dispute to my satisfaction. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC if you need exceptional lawyers with expertise in accidental death insurance! – I.L. 2024

The Attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC Got Me the Long-Term Care Benefits I Desperately Needed!I highly recommend Mckennon Law Group PC to anyone looking for a great bad faith insurance lawyer, especially anyone looking for a highly effective law firm to handle long-term care insurance claims. My long career in law enforcement was cut short in 2001 after I experienced a barometric pressure injury in my left ear which resulted in hearing loss as well as vertigo. I participated in therapy which taught me techniques to manage the dizziness, but I was no longer able to serve as an active-duty law enforcement officer. In 2018 I made a claim for long-term care benefits with my insurer which was approved. The insurance company reimbursed me for my in-home care giver and cleaning service, which was essential because I am on a fixed income. The insurance company abruptly stopped my benefits in April 2021, claiming video surveillance showed I was no longer limited in my ability to move around. I tried appealing the decision with the company on my own but got nowhere. That is when I turned to the talented long-term care and bad faith insurance lawyers at McKennon Law Group PC. Joe Hoff and Bob McKennon wrote a comprehensive and compelling appeal letter to the insurance company which explained why their decision to stop benefits was wrong and why I am still disabled. In less than a month the insurance company reversed its decision and started paying benefits again. Because the insurer had engaged in bad faith by denying his claim, we then pursued the insurer for insurance bad faith. The insurer immediately agreed to settle the bad faith claim by paying our more than the benefits it had paid to me. I cannot thank Joe and Bob enough for their hard work, dedication and great result they obtained for me. Thanks to them, I can continue to afford my in-home caregiver and cleaning service. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC.– (Leonard 2024)

We give our highest recommendation to Robert McKennon, Nicholas West, and the ERISA life insurance lawyers at Mckennon Law Group PC who assisted us with our life insurance claim dispute. Some circumstances became beyond our control to appeal my late mother’s life insurance claim denial. Unfortunately, especially in Los Angeles County, there are only a few attorneys that specialize in ERISA and related policies and even fewer that were willing to take our case. Not only did the McKennon Law Group PC take a chance on us, but they also spent a great deal of time and patience with us to ensure that we had provided all the information available that would help in our case. Undoubtedly, they have one of the best teams of attorneys anywhere to help make a mentally straining process much more efficient and effective. They achieved the best results for us and you can expect that they will do it for others who have life insurance claims disputes with their insurers. – (Roland T. 2024)

McKennon Law Group PC has nothing but my highest praise and appreciation. I cannot recommend them enough. When someone very close to me passed away as part of a violent altercation, my insurance company refused to pay the accidental death benefits under my accidental death & dismemberment insurance policy. They insisted that he was attacking someone when, in fact, he was defending himself against people attempting to steal his motorcycle. McKennon Law Group did not hesitate to help us. They took the case when I thought I would have no hope to get my benefits. They proved me wrong – they thoroughly investigated the crime and developed a theory as to why there was coverage. They sent a thorough demand letter to the insurer. To my utter amazement, they convinced the insurer to pay the entire multi six-figure death benefit under the Policy. We did not even have to sue them because their stellar reputation scared the insurer enough to pay the full benefit. My family and I are eternally grateful for the McKennon Law Group’s assistance. They are extraordinary at what they do. – (Bjorn 2024)

I am truly grateful for the McKennon Law Group PC’s assistance. Through my former work, I have long-term disability insurance with MetLife. I suffer from a myriad of health conditions including Meniere’s Disease, migraines, memory loss, confusion, nausea, mini-blackouts, and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. Because of these conditions, I am unable to work in any capacity. MetLife paid me disability benefits for a year before suddenly terminating my claim. I needed help. I contacted the McKennon Law Group PC who I learned were the best attorneys in California to handle long-term disability insurance claims. I hired them and they appealed and convinced MetLife to reinstate my claim. MetLife agreed to pay me all past-due benefits I was owed and to pay me future disability benefits. They were compassionate, thorough, and true experts. Because of them, I am receiving my benefits again. They have been absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend them enough! – Castellon2024

I am eternally grateful to the McKennon Law Group PC. They convinced my insurer to pay me my long-term disability insurance benefits when I desperately needed them. My disability insurance is with Unum, coverage I obtained the coverage through my work at a college. I oversaw a variety of the college’s programs until I developed numerous cognitive problems and lost the ability to work. When I applied for LTD benefits, Unum denied my claim. I needed help. Not many attorneys are experienced in ERISA disability matters but I was lucky to find the best disability attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC. They are experts in the field. They worked with me throughout the appeals process. After all of the necessary documents were compiled, they wrote a thorough appeal letter explaining how Unum had erred in denying my claim. They convinced Unum to reverse its position and pay my claim, including all past-due benefits and the benefits I am entitled to in the future. I highly recommend them! – Tammy M.

I am so grateful to the attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC for helping me get nearly half a million dollars in accidental death and dismemberment (“AD&D”) benefits. My elderly father fell in his independent living facility in Colorado. He was hospitalized, his condition deteriorated and he passed away. He had two AD&D policies, and I was worried that the insurance companies would deny the claims because the death certificate listed his death as natural even though it was the accidental fall that started the chain of events that led to death. That’s when I contacted McKennon Law Group PC. Their expert accidental death lawyers helped me prepare the paperwork for the claims, assisted in obtaining an amended death certificate and a report from a pathologist which stated that the fall was the underlying cause of death. Minnesota Life quickly paid the claim but the second major insurance company gave me the runaround and ignored me for months. I went back to McKennon Law Group PC, and they wrote a letter to the insurance company laying out why my father’s death was an AD&D case and threatened a lawsuit if the benefits were not paid. The insurance company quickly paid as well. I cannot thank the lawyers at McKennon Law Group PC enough for all of their help and I highly recommend them. – Gary McAdam

I am truly grateful to McKennon Law Group PC and highly recommend them My long-term disability (“LTD”) claim was wrongfully terminated so I researched the best LTD lawyers in the country. This led me to McKennon Law Group PC. Once I submitted my information, I immediately got a call from Mr. Robert McKennon. He sympathetically listened to me and assured me I was in the right place, and he was confident that his law firm could help. Mr. Joe Hoff, who is very kind and thorough, worked on my case with Mr. McKennon. I am very pleased with the outcome. Thank you both so much for the hard work you put into my case. I am truly grateful and I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC. – Victoria

McKennon Law Group PC deserves my highest praise for successfully handling my health insurance claim against Aetna that may save my life!  I have serious medical problems and require surgery.  I have medical insurance through Aetna Life Insurance Company and I made a claim with Aetna to cover my surgery.  Aetna refused to pay for my surgery based on an experimental treatment exclusion saying my surgery was not medically necessary even though their own doctor admitted that I needed the treatment.  I looked for highly experienced health insurance lawyers and found McKennon Law Group PC.  They sued Aetna and the case went to trial in federal court.  The court ruled in my favor!  I cannot thank them enough.  Bob McKennon and Nick West were outstanding.  They were always quick to address my questions and supported me through the process.  They never hesitated to put my health first.  I can now receive the care I need.  I could not have done this without them.  I am eternally grateful for their help. – Eula E.

McKennon Law Group PC was detailed, professional, communicative, and highly effective in winning my ERISA long-term disability case. They won an appeal of my case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and were able to get a very good opinion for ERISA plan participants on this issue of breach of fiduciary duty. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC! – Irina M.

McKennon Law Group PC stuck with me and I was able to collect all of my disability benefits and my attorneys’ fees. I want to thank the talented and committed attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC for sticking with my long-term disability case and obtaining not only the long-term disability benefits I was owed, but also a settlement for my attorneys’ fees. My prior attorney handled the appeals with the insurance company but they were all denied. That’s when I researched the best ERISA disability lawyers to pick up the ball and file a lawsuit. I live in Wisconsin and even though their office is in California, based on their top reviews and obvious experience, I wanted McKennon Law Group PC to be my lawyers. They agreed to take my case. Bob McKennon and his team quickly and expertly filed a complaint in federal court and within months, the insurance company, not willing to continue to fight Bob and his team, agreed to reinstate my disability benefits and paid me the back benefits I was owed and paid my benefits into the future.

However, the insurance company refused to pay my attorneys’ fees. Bob fought hard to have the judge order the company to pay the fees so my benefits wouldn’t be reduced. When the judge unreasonably cut his attorneys’ fees, Bob appealed the judge’s ruling.

We were then required to participate in mediation with the insurance company while on appeal. It was an intense experience, and I was very impressed with Bob’s negotiation skills. He got the company to settle the fees for an amount that means I get to keep all my benefits.

Throughout my over four-year relationship with McKennon Law Group PC, they stuck with me, kept me up to date and timely responded to all my phone calls and emails. I am very impressed with their professionalism and would highly recommend them. – Tammy A.

McKennon Law Group PC got our long-term care insurer to settle in no time at the full amount of benefits they initially denied! I give my highest recommendation to the attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC. I made a claim for long-term care benefits on behalf of my elderly mother to help pay for her in-home caregivers. Her long-term care insurer denied the claim shortly after my mother’s death. I tried appealing the denial but over the course of many months I got nowhere. I had my doubts that a lawsuit would be successful, but Robert McKennon and Joseph Hoff believed in the case and took it on. They were amazing: they crafted a compelling complaint that was filed in federal court and in no time, the insurer reached out to settle the case. I’m amazed at how quickly the case was successfully settled. From my first call with Joseph to getting the sizable settlement check, my case was handled expertly. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication to my case and would recommend them to anyone looking to compel their insurer to pay a disputed claim. – Richard R.

Using McKennon Law Group PC for my long-term disability claim was one of the best things I have ever done Using McKennon Law Group PC for my long-term disability claim was one of the best things I have ever done. Robert McKennon handled my case and never let the Disability Insurance company get away with wrongful termination of my benefits. Robert was like a pit bull when dealing with the insurance company, making sure he was not going to let up. Erik Fritz also helped with my case and did an excellent job. I want to say Thank You to McKennon Law Group PC, because without them I don’t know what I would have done. – Tony B.

I was having a hard time getting a response regarding my son’s life insurance policy. Turns out I was denied the benefits, and I did not know what to do. Shocked and frustrated, I searched the web and called a couple of law firms. McKennon Law Group PC responded right away. After my first chat with them, I felt so much better knowing that they listened and addressed my concerns. That gave me hope. My situation was a little complicated, but they were able to work through the red tape. I am very grateful for the time they spent working on my case and the unforeseen results due to their efforts. Thank you!!! – Kimberly J.

There are no words that can express my gratitude to McKennon Law Group PC for their excellence, expertise, and compassion in getting the denial of my accidental death insurance claim by New York Life insurance company reversed and paid on behalf of my beloved husband who passed last year. From my first phone conversation with Robert McKennon to the multiple contacts with Nicholas West, who informed me every step of the way, I can say I felt I was in great hands and was valued. They gathered pertinent information and designed an outstanding appeal letter that won the appeal of my wrongfully denied accidental death claim. Finding the accidental death insurance experts at McKennon Law Group PC was a blessing from above. I feel like I now have some peace after my husband’s sudden passing. I highly recommend this law firm for anyone who has a denied insurance claims like my accidental death insurance claim. They are the best out there. Thank you McKennon Law Group PC! – (P.T.)

When my husband died in 2020, his life insurance policy I had through my work refused to pay my death benefit claim. I could not believe they would deny it. For a long time I let it go, just being so consumed with grieving and taking care of children. When my mind had some time to clear, the absurdity of their denial of my life insurance claim under my policy and the insurer’s exploitation of my grief really started to bother me. I pursued the matter on my own, to no avail. I live in Western Kentucky and tried to find local ERISA counsel but to no avail. After that I found other people online who had this same experience with Reliance Standard and had success with McKennon Law Group PC. I knew I had found the right lawyers for my case. From my first phone call with Nick at McKennon Law Group I found the firm to be very supportive and professional. They expertly pursued litigation against my insurer and I was able to settle my life insurance claim for quite a bit more than the death benefit they failed to pay me. I feel sure I would not have recovered anything without them. I weould highly recommend this firm if you should find yourself in similar circumstances – (Blackbrn2023)

My LTD claim with Reliance Standard was denied after having received benefits for years and my appeal was subsequently denied, despite there having been no changes to my health. I spent several months fruitlessly searching for an attorney to take my case. I live in North Idaho and there were no ERISA attorneys in my area. Additionally, my benefit was referred to as small which made it an undesirable case for the “standard” attorneys I spoke with. I serendipitously came across the Google ad for McKennon law at the tail end of the window to be able to file a legal claim. I was contacted within 24 hours of submitting the online contact form. I was able to retain McKennon Law and I had hope for the first time since the denial. From the very beginning, the team was responsive, compassionate, understanding, and willing to educate me on the process. I was continually impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication as we worked through the ultimately 30-month process. My case was filed in US District Court for the District of Idaho and the team retained and worked seamlessly with the experts in my district. Even though my benefit was small, the team at McKennon Law recognized that it was huge for my family. They worked diligently on my behalf and ultimately won my case. While I hope to not have to utilize their services again, I would not hesitate to retain them in the future should the need arise. There is simply not a high enough recommendation I could give to McKennon law for the work they have done. – Caryn S.

The McKennon Law Group did a fantastic job handling my complicated Pension Claim. I could not have been happier with the outcome. I was desperate to find legal council and time was running out. I found them by searching “Law Firms that specialize in Erisa Law”. I was so happy to find them and know they worked on a contingency. Nicolas West, the Lawyer assigned to my case was kind, attentive, always returned calls promptly and explained things clearly to me. Robert McKennon was kind, personable and really made me feel like I was important and that my case was valid. As complicated as my case was they handled it with unbelievable detailed precision and knowledge. They protect hard working people who get swept under the rug. My faith in humanity was renewed from their actions. I am forever grateful for them winning my case for me. I highly recommend this firm! – Gale2023

I am so very grateful for the talented ERISA disability attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC for successfully appealing the denial of my short-term disability (“STD”) benefits.I worked in alaboratory which involved repetitive hand movements.I was devastated when I developed tendonitis in my hands which prevented me from doing my job.I went to numerous healthcare providers, but they were unable to treat my condition.I was forced to stop working and applied for STD benefits with Life Insurance Company of North America (“LINA”) but they denied my claim.LINA said the medical records did not support an ongoing functional impairment.That’s when I turned to the ERISA insurance attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC.They sent a lengthy letter to LINA which explained why its denial was not supported by the medical records and the law.My attorneys then pointed out to LINA that it did not respond to their letter in time and LINA promptly reversed its decision.Not only am I now receiving my STD benefits, but I anticipate my claim will transition into long-term disability.I cannot recommend the McKennonLaw Group enough.They are exceptional! If you need to fight an insurance company for your benefits, they’re the team you want on your side. – Colleen A.

I was originally referred to McKennon Law Group PC from another lawyer. They had given me a few other firms to call when I needed help with navigating a Long-Term Disability case after having to leave my job due to medical reasons. My initial consultation was with Joe McMillen, and he was well informed and patient regarding all my questions. I ended up hiring McKennon Law Group on an hourly basis and was awarded Long Term Disability. Then after multiple surgeries, Lincoln Financial denied my disability claim without cause. Knowing that the appeal process could be a very long process especially if it ended up in trial, I called a few other law firms. The attorneys at the other law firms were so abrasive on the phone, it felt like I was just a case, not a person and was bothering them with my questions. Since I had a good result with McKennon Law Group PC the first time, I decided to hire them again for my appeal on a contingency fee basis. The main reason I chose them was due to Joe McMillen. He is personable, very detailed oriented and had very quick response times. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to McKennon Law Group PC! – D.D.

My name is Terrel Thomas and a couple of years ago I lost my wife of 27 years. We had life insurance but because of a “technical mistake” that I had nothing to do with (they said I did not submit evidence of insurability), my insurance company told me that they wouldn’t pay my life insurance claim. Because I’ve heard horror stories about trying to sue large insurance companies and having never sued anyone, I almost decided to let the issue go, but I was so irritated by the way my insurer treated me that I decided to seek legal assistance. I searched around for top-notch life insurance attorneys and I chose Mc Kennon Law Group PC. I’m glad I did! Fortunately, I have no horror stories to tell and in fact Nick and Bob were great and kept me informed every step of the way. In fact, the whole experience was almost pleasant, they did what they needed to do and delivered what they promised to deliver. They got my claim paid in full. I highly recommend them! – Terrel Thomas

I give McKennon Law Group PC the highest possible marks: 5-out-of-5 stars!! To anyone looking to hire an ERISA accidental death and dismemberment benefit lawyer, stop your search. Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen were fantastic! I was devastated when I lost my beloved husband to a premature death. My stress was compounded when my group accidental death insurer, Principal, denied my accidental death claim on the ground that he died from his preexisting heart condition and hypertension, not his car accident. Bob and Joe submitted an excellent, detailed, master appeal that made novel arguments under Seventh Circuit ERISA law (which applied since I live in Illinois). We won. Principal paid the entire policy benefit, nearly six figures! Needless to say, I am extremely grateful for finding this exceptional firm. Thank you for all your assistance. Thank you for believing in the possibility of this very difficult claim and winning it despite the many challenges. You are absolutely awesome! It took a leap of faith for you even to pursue this, especially given all the complex issues! You have been so very professional, plus even the time frame to completion is miraculous! – Joyce G.

I want to yell it from the rooftops how well Bob McKennon, Joe McMillen, and their team performed for me in my accidental death employee benefit insurance case against Metropolitan Life Insurance Company!

McKennon Law Group PC has been a life saver for me. They have done such an amazing job in handling all aspects of my ERISA short-term and long-term disability insurance benefit claims against The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company. Robert McKennon, Joe McMillen, and McKennon Law Group team, you’re the best! Thank you! Lincoln denied my STD claim stating that my COPD condition did not prevent me from working. Luckily, I found and hired exceptional ERISA disability lawyers. Not only did the McKennon firm appeal and win my STD and LTD benefits five years ago in 2018, but the firm stuck with me ever since (and continues to represent me). Every year or so, Lincoln makes me file additional forms, doctor evidence, and paperwork proving that I am still disabled under the terms of the Plan. My brain doesn’t work anymore. I can’t remember things and words anymore. The McKennon Law Group PC is patient, compassionate, and oversees the work for me each year. Best of all, they do exceptional work. So, Lincoln always reapproves my benefits with the firm’s insightful guidance, strategy, and knowledge. McKennon Law Group PC is the best at what they do, and I highly recommend them for anyone who has been wrongfully denied disability insurance benefits. And for anyone that is getting paid monthly benefits but needs guidance in filing annual proof of their going disability. – Sindy S.

I am very grateful to have hired The McKennon Law Group PC to handle my denied health insurance claim. I was in a motorcycle accident and my medical insurance carrier refused to pay my claim. They insisted that I was not covered under my employer’s group insurance policy even though my employer had deducted premiums from my pay. I was left with unpaid medical bills and needed legal help. My case became particularly complicated because the State of California paid part, but not all, of my medical bills. I found and hired the insurance and ERISA experts at McKennon Law Group PC and we sued the insurer. The insurer repeatedly attempted to have my case dismissed, but McKennon Law Group PC kept fighting very hard for me. In the end, we reached a favorable settlement. All of my medical bills have been paid. The insurer paid my attorneys’ fees and costs. I even received some money in addition to having my bills covered. The entire incident was stressful and unpleasant. In the end, McKennon Law Group PC was wonderful and helped me to resolve all of my legal problems. I am very happy I hired them. – McDonnell K.

To anyone looking to hire an ERISA disability benefit lawyer, look no further. Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen were absolutely fantastic! I could not have been in better hands. I suffer from excruciating abdominal, pelvis, and leg pain from endometriosis and adenomyosis. Often, I can barely get out of bed let alone do my job. I was shocked when my long-term disability insurer denied my claim and appeal (that I submitted on my own). I knew I needed a lawyer. So, I sought out the best ERISA disability lawyers I could find and hired the McKennon Law Group. The McKennon firm stood close by my side throughout this entire ordeal. They consistently gave expert advice, treated me with compassion, and always put out highly skilled work-product. They won my second appeal for me with a brilliant strategy and key evidence that I would have never thought to obtain. Consequently, the insurer put me back on claim and paid my monthly benefits. I was appalled when, later, the insurer decided to terminate my benefits yet again. Fortunately, the McKennon firm was right there for me. After they win your appeal, they continue to represent you. So, when the insurer stopped paying me and claimed that I was not disabled again, the McKennon firm filed a detailed ERISA lawsuit against the insurer in federal court in San Francisco, California. They set up a mediation quickly, and drafted a top-notch, persuasive mediation brief that resulted in a settlement. They were very comforting to me during a stressful mediation. They were persistent and determined. I am truly grateful that the McKennon Law Group did such excellent work for me. Thank you, Bob, Joe, and team! – Colette C.

I have been practicing law for over 40 years. I first met Robert McKennon when we were adversaries in a case that went to arbitration about three years ago. Robert was a very worthy opponent and did an outstanding job for his client and obtained a substantial award for him, much to I and my client’s disappointment. A number of months ago, when I was experiencing a problem arising out of a disability policy and needed legal advice and guidance. I considered all of the hundreds of attorneys I know and immediately thought of Robert and retained he and his firm to represent me. As a long time, practicing attorney, I had many options to choose from, but I had been so impressed with how Robert conducted himself when he was on the other side of a case, and he obtained such a good outcome for his client, that I decided I wanted him in my corner fighting for me. He successfully resolved my issue, without the need for litigation, to my complete satisfaction. He did an outstanding job and is a top attorney. Take it from an experienced attorney- if you need competent, professional legal advice and a strong advocate in your corner, Robert McKennon and his law firm are the right choice. – Erwin S.

Our family is grateful beyond words that, in his search for a disability attorney to defend his case for unwarranted cancellation of his long-term disability, our son came upon the McKennon Law Firm in San Francisco, CA. Our son’s situation was unique in that he had issues in his personal life creating problems with availability, communication, and in providing information to the attorneys on a timely basis. We had provided our contact information to the firm knowing the issues they might face in processing their case without diligent participation from our son. Fortunately, our son agreed to have his dad act as his Power of Attorney should he be absent. From that point on, we were included on every communication from the firm. For this we are appreciative of Bob, Joe, and his dedicated staff. Though we were frustrated with our son’s lack of action, interactions with the firm were kind, professional, respectful, and without judgment of our son. They maintained seamless communication with our son and his dad, acknowledging our son as the plaintiff when he was present. Of tremendous significance to me was the feeling of comfort and security I felt in the hands of this firm from our first contact with them. Their warm presence of care, confidence, and expertise provided great reassurance to me. The brilliance, experience, knowledge, research, polish, and acumen of Bob was evident throughout the process. His detailed knowledge of our son’s case was masterful. Joe, at a side table, was ever ready with precedence, documents, and relevant cases. All of their expertise came through with a very satisfying result through mediation against a challenging defendant. Bob was powerful in delivering the result for our son that was fair and deserved. He was persistent and determined to get it right and he did!
How many times can I express gratitude to MCKENNON LAW FIRM? Never enough. Thank you McKennon Law Firm. – Elizabeth W.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC.  They successfully handled my long-term disability case buyout from my disability insurer, Unum.  Unfortunately, I lost the ability to work.  Unum acknowledged my disability and started paying me my disability benefits.  I was relieved when Unum approached me about a potential “buy out” of my disability policy.  This would entail a onetime lump sum payment of a portion of my benefits under the policy.  Whereas I was happy to receive the buyout offer, I wanted to receive as much money as possible.  I attempted to negotiate for a larger buyout, but I could not convince the insurer to increase its offer.  I contacted the McKennon Law Group.  Their attorneys were wonderful.  They promptly addressed my questions and immediately contacted Unum to renegotiate my disability buyout.  They were able to convince the insurer to increase the value of the buyout.  Their knowledge of the insurance industry and Unum was instrumental in convincing the insurer to increase its offer.  I accepted the buyout and am grateful I contacted this excellent law firm. – Monica T

Thank You For Everything, McKennon Law Group! The only way to win your long-term disability case is to hire McKennon Law Group. I started the LTD process with my employer’s disability administrator on my own and right from the start it was a source of great stress. Imagine going through major health issues and having to fight an insurance company. I knew that I would not get anywhere on my own and that’s when I retained MLG based on their stellar reviews. This was the wisest decision I made. It was a long and difficult process with numerous denials, but Bob McKennon, Cory Salisbury, and Debi Cartee were with me every step of the way. They were consistently responsive and kept me updated on the status of my case. They helped gather numerous records that were being requested, responded to several frivolous denial letters which were simply obvious attempts to not pay, and ultimately secured a settlement.  Cory is one of the most compassionate attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. Bob’s strategic and masterful negotiating skills got us a settlement that was more than double the amount that we expected. I highly recommend MLG if you want the best representation on your side and an extraordinarily impressive outcome! – Anne L.

We have so much gratitude for the McKennon Law Group and definitely would recommend their representation to anyone that desires help in acquiring a fair and just resolution to obtaining Long Term or Short Term Disability. My husband worked for a Fortune 500 company, he never imagined that his company would deny him FT or PT disability. It was disheartening to see his health decline, a once healthy man unable to work, drive, and experiencing cognitive decline. After attempting to provide medical documentation and interviewing with his insurance company, it was apparent he could not do this alone. Nicholas West and Robert McKennon listened to our concerns, they did the research to prove to the insurance that they were wrong, they carefully and meticulously reviewed all records and took the time to hear what we were experiencing. There were many calls where they showed compassion for their client’s wellbeing. We cannot thank McKennon Law enough! – Mandich2022

McKennon Law Group is the best! I am incredibly grateful to Robert McKennon and his attorneys at the McKennon Law Group for how they handled my long-term disability claim. I suffer from a medical condition and lost the ability to work. Through my former employment, I acquired long-term disability insurance. However, to avoid paying me my disability benefits when I lost the ability to work, the insurance company insisted that I had deceived them during the application process. I explained to them that I had truthfully answered all of their questions, but they refused to listen. They attempted to rescind the policy. I live in Florida. When searching for help, I discovered the McKennon Law Group, even though they are based in California. They were more than willing to assist me even though I was living in Florida. Mr. McKennon and his attorneys took on my case and quickly entered into settlement negotiations with the insurance company. Mr. McKennon had a 30-year relationship with one of the in-house attorneys at the insurance company and he has had great experience getting top-dollar disability insurance settlements with this insurer. McKennon Law Group prepared a detailed settlement letter that thoroughly and convincingly argued that the insurer had erred when rescinding the policy. They managed to settle my claim for the majority of my benefits. I am extremely grateful for their help. They have been absolutely wonderful. – V.S.

If you want the best firm to handle denied disability insurance claims, look no further than McKennon Law Group. I experienced a legitimate health issue and my employer’s disability insurer denied my claim multiple times. I decided that I needed to hire true professionals to represent me. A top employment attorney in the area told me that Bob McKennon and his firm were the best in the industry and she could not have been more correct. From the time that I connected with Bob and Joe Hoff, it was clear that they are experts in the field and they could not have been more professional. They analyzed my case, put together a detailed strategy, and filed an extensive appeal on my behalf. Within a couple of days of filing the appeal the insurer reversed its denial and approved my claim. If you need expert advice and a team willing to go to bat for you, look no further than Bob and the McKennon Law Group. – Gary V.

My family is so grateful to this law office they were so understanding and knowing exactly what we needed in my case. When I made that very first call they could hear how frustrated, and exhausted I was with fighting with the insurance company for what I was entitled to. I am so very thankful for all their hard work. Mckennon law office I am forever grateful!!! – Jolicoeur, H.

McKennon Law Group PC is incredible. Robert McKennon and Nicholas West helped me get a long overdue ERISA long-term disability settlement, including interest and attorneys’ fees. This was a complex case and my attempts at appeals had been denied. I am so thankful I chose McKennon Law Group to take on my case. Their attention to detail, ERISA knowledge, and communication with me has been outstanding. They have been extremely supportive of me during this difficult time, and they truly care about their clients. I’m forever grateful to McKennon Law Group PC. – Stone, R.

McKennon Law Group is excellent! Look no further. They are the best disability insurance ERISA lawyers out there. From my first contact with Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen until the case ended, I have been extremely impressed with their work, from the careful attention they took to produce top-notch work, to the patience and compassion they had for me, to the result they obtained. They were able to get my insurer to overturn its denial of my disability claim and get the insurer to fully reinstate my disability benefits and they paid all my attorneys’ fees, costs and interest they owed me. I could not be happier with this excellent law firm. – Jesse T.

I contacted McKennon Law Group at a time when I felt hopeless, helpless, and defeated. I was chronically ill, and my insurer had terminated my long-term disability benefits – without warning – on Christmas Eve. In addition to the emotional insult, this put my family in a desperate financial position. McKennon Law Group thoroughly reviewed my records, understood my circumstances, and wrote an excellent appeal letter to my insurer. The insurer subsequently placed me back on claim and restored my benefits. McKennon Law Group demonstrated professionalism, proficiency, and expertise throughout this process and helped restore my peace of mind so I could continue to pursue treatment for my illness. I am grateful. – Josh K.

I would very highly recommend the McKennon Law Group to anyone who asked. I have been disabled for almost 18 years, suddenly I received a notice from my insurance company that I owed a large amount of money as back pay for an offset. My case was an ERISA case and hired McKennon Law Group to represent me to dispute the claim of back pay. After calling law firms around the country, McKennon Law was the only firm that would take my case. I am in Arizona and the firm is in California, so I was not able to meet with them in person, but still received a level of service that is beyond compare. I was promptly kept up to date throughout the entire process and in a very professional manner by everyone that was involved in the case. At every level, I was thoroughly informed and given explanations in a way that I could understand because I am not an attorney. I understood what was happening in each step and copied on all correspondence and given a chance to read the correspondence and give final approval. If I had questions, they were all answered in a timely manner and the firm made themselves available to discuss any questions over the phone as well. It was obvious to me that the McKennon Law Group worked diligently and did not overlook any detail in their correspondence. The attorneys were all extremely knowledgeable and cared about me on a personal level and wanted to help. Everyone knows that attorneys are expensive, but I have to say that the money was well spent and well worth the cost. If there is a chance your case can be won, McKennon Law Group will find a way. They were very honest about the odds between winning and losing, the firm is not going to take your money when there is no reason to. You can really trust this law firm. – Mike F.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group! Bob McKennon & Andrea Soliz were very meticulous and kind throughout the entire process. They advised me with sound legal advice and consistent professionalism. Bob is a highly regarded and respected lawyer. He also has amicable relationships with opposing council, which allows for a more seamless process. If you choose this law group, you will not be disappointed and will have a clear understanding every step of the way! Many thanks to McKennon Law Group for everything! – K.A.

Bob McKennon and the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group are caring and knowledgeable professional attorneys. They helped me and my family by getting me all my long-term disability benefits after The Hartford Group denied my claim. After I became disabled due to Multiple Sclerosis, I thought that my long-term disability insurance coverage with The Hartford Group, through my work, would cover me financially should I become unable to work. I could not believe that The Hartford Group denied my claim. They insisted that I can work even though my health and abilities have been in a steady decline as I have suffered from Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis for over 20 years. I knew that I needed the help of skilled long-term disability attorneys if I was to get my benefits, so I contacted the McKennon Law Group. They worked with me to prepare an appeal of the denial of my claim. The appeal was expertly done; it was thorough and persuasive. Shortly after submitting the appeal, Hartford overturned my claim denial and thanks to the firm, I am now receiving my benefits. The attorneys at The McKennon Law Group are extraordinary at what they do. I am grateful that I hired them. – Afghani, B.

Robert McKennon, Joe McMillen, and the team at McKennon Law Group PC are phenomenal, highly talented ERISA pension lawyers. They aggressively litigated with my deceased husband’s employer when it refused to pay me his 401(k) proceeds. My legal aid lawyers and the U.S. Department of Labor had been unsuccessful in getting his employer to pay. But the McKennon firm took over and won for me 100% of his 401(k) benefits, with substantial interest. Now they are pursuing the employer for my attorneys’ fees. Their work-product, including their trial brief and several motions, were professional, detailed and highly persuasive. They are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated ERISA pension lawyers. I highly recommend the McKennon firm. – Leslie W.

We had a difficult and challenging Insurance Case. The McKennon Law Group delivered expert case knowledge, combined with a wealth of legal experience, to dispute our issue. The team was responsive, informative, and always polite to work with. They are an excellent and valuable resource. Sincerely, Fernanda Maye

Excellent, highly talented ERISA accidental death lawyers. Robert McKennon, Joe McMillen, and the team at McKennon Law Group PC are not only extremely knowledgeable, professional, detailed, and dedicated ERISA insurance lawyers, they are also compassionate. They litigated my claim quickly, efficiently, and skillfully, and they made me feel comfortable during the personal aspects of an AD&D claim. I highly recommend the McKennon firm. – Wendy B.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC! After being diagnosed with numerous debilitating medical issues, I became unable to perform my job duties as a law library clerk. I filed a short-term and long-term disability claim with my disability insurer, Lincoln Financial, which was denied. I knew that I would not be able to fight the insurance company on my own and that I would need top-notch lawyers helping me. That is when I decided to hire the McKennon Law Group PC. They went to work drafting a detailed appeal letter seeking all past-due disability benefits and helping me gather medical evidence to support my claim. Because of the firm’s hard work and aggressive advocacy, Lincoln Financial reversed its decision and agreed to pay me all of my past-due disability benefits and agreed to pay ongoing future disability benefits. I cannot thank them enough for their excellent work. I am confident that without their help, I could not have achieved this successful outcome. – Amanda A.

I Highly Recommend McKennon Law Group PC. I had a great experience with everyone at McKennon Law Group PC. The attorneys and staff who took on my case were very helpful and professional. My case involved complicated long-term disability insurance issues and they took the time to go over all the related information and legal issues with me to make sure I understood and was aware of everything going on. They were able to get my case resolved in my favor and allow me to move forward from a nightmare situation. If you need the best disability insurance ERISA attorneys for your denied disability claim, I highly recommend them – Florencia I.

Responsive and very talented insurance lawyers. Dedicated to reaching a successful outcome. The attorneys at McKennon Law are highly professional, but always made me feel comfortable—easy to talk to. Highly recommend – Nicole N.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group for their great work on two separate long-term disability claim denials from different disability insurers! For 25 years, I worked as a dentist performing the full array of complex dental procedures and working a full-time schedule 60 hours per week at my own dental practice. Over the years, the job took its toll on my body and I developed severe neck, back, arm and wrist pain. I was forced to sell my dental practice because my pain became too debilitating. I eventually transitioned into doing part-time light dentistry only and I then filed a claim for long-term disability benefits with my three disability insurers. A few months later, two different insurers denied my claims. I knew I needed to find a top rated disability insurance law firm to fight these behemoth companies. They were quickly able to get one of my claims paid, but the other two insurance companies refused to reverse their decisions. As a result, we were forced to file lawsuits against those insurers seeking my full disability benefits. The firm continued to work tirelessly on my behalf and aggressively litigated my cases, and, with trial dates only a few months away, both insurers agreed to pay me large six-figure buy-out settlements covering my past-due and future long-term disability benefits. I am so grateful that I found the McKennon Law Group PC. Without them I would not have been able to reach these very favorable settlements with my three disability insurers. – Dr. H.

What you have done for me is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your work, care, and concern. You have truly saved my life, and I will be forever grateful to you. – Nancy D.

McKennon Law Group hit a grand slam for me by getting me a large seven-figure settlement. If you need help fighting for your disability benefits, I highly recommend them. When my disability benefits were suddenly terminated by my long-term disability insurer after seven years, I knew I needed a top rate law firm to help me get my benefits reinstated. I found the McKennon Law Group PC and they did not disappoint. After a long, hard-fought battle with the insurance company, they were able to achieve an extraordinary settlement for me. They filed a detailed lawsuit against my insurer and in a few months the insurer reversed its decision and paid me all of my past-due benefits owed. Not only that, they pursued my insurance bad faith claim and, after three mediations, they were able to obtain a large seven-figure settlement for me. I am beyond happy that I found them. They did a tremendous job handling my case. – Patrick G.

Thank you McKennon Law Group! You crushed my opponent! Thanks to Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen at McKennon Law Group, I won my disability and life insurance cases. I was up against a behemoth insurance company that I understood was part of my employee benefits package in place to protect me should I become seriously ill. Taken off work by my physicians, I was denied long-term disability benefits designed to pay me after 90 days of my disability. Overwhelmed by massive amounts of paperwork required from me and my physicians, I was certain I was fighting a losing battle. When I hired McKennon Law Group they immediately took the ball from me and ran with it. The firm’s attorneys are pros and they know their end game. They worked efficiently, kept me on track sticking to facts and strict timelines while showing compassion while preparing my case. This law firm attacked my opponent with stealth and won my case. I cannot recommend them highly enough. – Adele L.

My highest praise goes to the entire McKennon firm team. In mid-2019, my daughter went through a very difficult mental health emergency, requiring out-of-network service in Los Angeles. This occurred after my layoff, while still under COBRA coverage through my former employer’s benefits plan. After an initial denial from the insurer, a denied internal appeal to them and then a further denial on appeal to the California State Insurance Commission, I learned, nearly too late, that ERISA claims are handled very differently than private health care claims. McKennon Law Group stepped up to the plate and took my case well in hand. They conscientiously and intelligently went through every single bit of my medical file, making themselves completely familiar with every aspect of the file and the situation. The firm kept abreast of shifting judicial decisions. All the while, they handled my concerns and questions with kindness and grace. The result: a very favorable settlement. I heartily recommend the McKennon Law Group to any and all in need of ERISA claim representation. Five stars all around. – John D.

I am incredibly thankful for McKennon Law Group. I was unable to work after being diagnosed with a rare illness that caused ongoing complications as well as debilitating side effects from the treatment. Prudential Insurance Company denied my disability benefits initially and felt overwhelmed by the appeal process. I knew I could not handle this ERISA disability appeal by myself and I needed help from true professionals. When I called the firm to inquire, I spoke to Bob McKennon who explained everything very well and took time to answer my questions. I felt comfortable and hopeful with having them represent me. Amber, called me soon after to start the process. She has been amazing and easy to communicate with. Great news – because of the firm’s hard and excellent work, they overturned my disability benefits denial and that I will start receiving past-due and future benefits owed to me. I couldn’t have found a better firm to represent me. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group. – Jeanne H.

McKennon Law Group PC is very professional and the right legal team for disability claims. From my first call, the communication with Joe McMillen was clear and he really helped me through the whole process. Joe made sure that all the documents we collected were consistent with the appeal as we worked through the case. His attention to detail really made the difference as we received all that we asked for in the claim. My thanks to the whole McKennon team – Don S.

I am grateful to McKennon Law Group for their help in successfully winning my disability appeal and getting my disability reinstated. During the entire process, Joe McMillen, who worked with Robert McKennon, kept in touch to let us know what was going on and answered any queries within a day. I never felt like I didn’t know where we were in the process and what was happening. When Lincoln denied my appeal it was difficult to look at the case as anything but an attack on my personal integrity, so I was grateful to have some distance from the process and be guided by lawyers who clearly understood ERISA and told me what to expect and how I could help. Thank you for your professionalism and guidance throughout this process. I am grateful I chose McKennon Law Group and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who has to go through the same difficult process. – Debbie W.

I could not be happier that I found McKennon Law Group to handle my denied ERISA disability insurance claim!  I worked for a major grocery store and could no longer perform my job duties due to chronic pain syndrome, connective tissue disease, and fibromyalgia.  Lincoln National initially approved my short-term disability benefits, but later denied my claim for long-term disability benefits.  I knew I needed legal help and wanted to find true disability insurance ERISA experts to fight Lincoln. I hired McKennon Law Group. They did an incredible job. After they filed a detailed and very persuasive complaint against Lincoln, in about a month after filing the lawsuit, Lincoln voluntarily reversed its denial of my claim for LTD benefits.  Not only did I begin receiving my monthly disability benefits, Lincoln also agreed to pay me a lump sum for past-due benefits owed and an additional $73,000 for the firm’s attorneys’ fees, costs and prejudgment interest.  They had a provision in our fee agreement that allowed me to keep most of those legal fees!  I am grateful that I hired such excellent insurance denial claims attorneys who are so knowledgeable in ERISA disability insurance issues. They did a wonderful job. – Julie Hodgson

Search no more -McKennon Law Group is outstanding!  Words of praise do not come easy for my husband or me but we feel compelled to tell you about our amazing experience with this law firm.  First of all, they listen to your needs and then their expertise begins.  They research, gather information, and begin what they do best, i.e., they win against big insurance companies!   They are professional, courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and best in their profession.  Their client service is superb.  We can’t say enough about our very positive experience with McKennon Law Group.  This law firm is so worthy of praise and gratitude.  They reversed our long-term disability claim denial and got our insurer to pay our claim in full with a policy buy-out based on the full value of my husband’s disability claim.  They work magic.  We give them a five-star review and the very best and highest recommendation. – Mary and Joseph B.

I give my highest possible recommendation to McKennon Law Group PC: 5-out-of-5 stars!!  To anyone looking to hire an ERISA disability benefit lawyer, look no further.  Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen were absolutely fantastic!  I could not have been in better hands.  I suffer from excruciating abdominal, pelvis and leg pain from endometriosis.  Often, I can barely get out of bed let alone do my job.  I was astounded when Hartford denied my claim and appeal.  I appealed again and provided Hartford with all the evidence I thought they needed.  When Hartford contacted me to respond to opinion reports from their medical doctors (a gynecologist and pain management physician both saying that I was not disabled and did not even have endometriosis), I knew that I needed a lawyer.  The McKennon firm immediately stepped in with a brilliant strategy.  They orchestrated a plan with me and my doctors to marshal strategic evidence that won my second appeal, evidence that I would have never thought to obtain.  I am truly grateful that McKennon Law Group won all my disability benefits for me.  And they did it quickly without me even having to go through a mediation or trial.  Thank you, Bob, Joe and team! – Colette U.

After searching for a highly reputable law firm that handles long-term disability claims, I have come across the McKennon Law Group. After reading all of their excellent reviews and testimonials from their clients, I thought I would give them a call and inquire. When I contacted them, right off my questions were answered and the process was explained in detail from what to expect and the likely outcome. I am very pleased with their work — it is the assistance that I’m looking for! I’m glad that I gave them a try to handle my concerns. I highly recommend this firm to handle your disability claims! – Victor M.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC! After being diagnosed with a debilitating genetic disease, I became unable to perform my job duties as a contracts specialist. I filed a short-term and long-term disability claim with my disability insurer, which was initially approved. However, after paying benefits for only three months, the insurer wrongfully decided that I was no longer disabled from my job. I appealed the decision on my own, but the insurer denied my appeal. That is when I hired the McKennon Law Group PC. Because of the firm’s rock-solid reputation, hard work and aggressive advocacy, my insurer reversed its decision after we filed a lawsuit against them and paid me all of my past-due disability benefits, plus interest, agreed to pay ongoing future disability benefits and agreed to pay my attorneys’ fees and costs which were in the six-figures. I cannot thank McKennon Law Group PC enough for the work they have done on my disability case. Everyone I have spoken to has been so kind and understanding. It’s a huge benefit to my peace of mind that the legal side of things is in good hands and I can focus on managing my disability. I feel confident that with their help, I can face any future claim struggles that the long term disability company might throw my way. – Noelle R.

I cannot thank McKennon Law Group PC enough for very successfully handling the rescission of my life insurance policy along with a great settlement check! I applied for life insurance with a critical illness benefit. After my application was approved, I was diagnosed with cancer and hoped my insurance would help pay for my medical expenses. My family was shocked when the insurance company claimed I lied on my application and attempted to rescind my life insurance policy. I looked for the best life insurance denial attorneys and found the McKennon Law Group. Bob McKennon and Ryan Tikker got the insurance company to put the policy back in force, got the insurance company to pay all past due premiums, and they helped me to receive a sizeable settlement. They were able to accomplish all of this before even having to file a lawsuit. Thank you, Bob and Ryan! I would recommend them to anyone with a life insurance claim denial. – Anna H.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group to handle any denied disability insurance claim anywhere in the country. Bob McKennon and Amber Dufault provided excellent services, and were very committed to my case.
They filed my complaint and within a month, Lincoln decided to pay my claim in full and also pay my future long-term disability benefits, my attorney’s fees and interest. This was a complete victory for me. My experience has been nothing but wonderful with this legal team. – Tamara A.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group. Bob and Nick provided excellent services, and were very committed to my case. My disability benefits were denied. My medical condition was debilitating and continued to worsen. I became disabled with a series of severe physical problems. I initially started to pursue my claim on my own but quickly realized that such an attempt would fail and hired McKennon Law Group. Thanks to Bob and Nick my disability insurance claim was approved. In denying the claim, Sedgwick completely ignored the reports of my doctors and nurses. McKennon Law Group convinced the insurer to reinstate my benefits without resorting to litigation. Their great work turned Sedgwick insurance carrier around and they reinstated my benefits. I am now receiving my benefits and can focus on getting the treatment I need to recover from my disabling conditions. I cannot thank them enough – they are the best! – V.

I would highly recommend Mckennon Law Group PC for any insurance matter. I was pleased & satisfied with the professionalism & service I received. Amber Dufault was awesome, she was always easy to reach & quick to respond either by phone or email to any question I had from beginning to end, highly recommend, 5 stars. – EC C.

I would like to thank Robert McKennon Law Group, for handling my long term disability benefits claim. After working for Kaiser Permanente for over 19 years, I wasn’t able to continue working due to lower back and foot pain. I wanted to continue working until retirement age, but I wasn’t successful. So, I applied for long term disability benefits with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (METLIFE). My claim was denied, so I contacted Robert McKennon Law Group.

Robert McKennon and Joseph McMillion provided excellent services, and was very committed to my case. Both, Robert and Joe took their time to explain to me all of my questions, they responded back to me on every phone call and email.

Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts, now I can get off of this emotional roller coaster. Congratulations, for securing my future! I highly recommend the Robert McKennon Law Group! – Renee M.

McKennon Law Group PC is outstanding. Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen of McKennon Law Group won my long-term disability matter against Hartford, one of the largest insurers in the world. The firm submitted a top-notch ERISA written appeal and worked with my neurologist to refute Hartford’s medical consultant’s opinion. Hartford ultimately agreed to overturn my claim denial. This firm does excellent work and is extremely knowledgeable about ERISA disability law. I am deeply grateful to Bob, Joe and the entire team at McKennon Law Group PC. – Melissa

McKennon Law Group PC is the best. They are wonderful to deal with. The firm represented me when my long-term disability carrier terminated my disability benefits. They did an incredible job. Bob McKennon and Nick West were always willing to work with me and helped me to understand the process. A&er my claim was denied, they sued and aggressively fought my insurer and nally nego)ateda great se*lement for me that resulted in the insurer paying me an excellent se*lement. I could not have done it without them. My husband and I are very grateful we hired the McKennon Law Group PC. I highly recommend them for any disability insurance ma*er and I cannot thank them enough for what they did for me. – Loreta

Great experience working with McKennon Law Group. My case was resolved and I have my full life insurance coverage again! Thank you! – Karen

When you take out insurance you have this idea that you will be OK when the bad stuff happens. Well the bad stuff happened and then we were faced with fighting with the insurance who have a whole lot more experience in the litigation arena. Bob and Ryan took care of everything for us and kept us in the loop the whole way. We ended up settling for far less than they should have paid but we have a small nest egg to help with the ongoing costs. Thank you Bob and Ryan — without you we would have gotten nothing! – Lesley S..

After a problem arose with our pension, we were referred to and very fortunate to find Robert McKennon’s law firm. The McKennon Law Group PC. We can’t thank Mr. Nicholas West and Mr. Robert McKennon enough for the great job that was done over this last year. We had to travel to another state for mediation Mr. McKennon met us there. We settled the matter, our settlement was such that we walked away feeling like we won the case!! We would highly recommend you to anyone. – Larry

The law office was professional and effective in assisting me to obtain my disability coverage for a long term illness. – DR

After years of battling anxiety and depression, my condition got so bad that I was unable to work. I knew I needed to file a disability claim, but I was so ill that I could not even fill out the paperwork to file the claim. So I went searching for the best disability insurance attorneys I could find and that was the McKennon Law Group PC! Bob and Andrea quickly went to work gathering documents for my claim and working with my treating physicians. They submitted a disability claim to my long-term disability insurer, Northwestern Mutual, and within a couple of months, my claim was approved. The attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC were so amazing and supportive throughout this entire process. Not only did they do a wonderful job of handling my case but it allowed me to fully concentrate on battling my ongoing medical challenges. I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC for their expertise, hard work and compassion. They truly help their clients in their greatest time of need. If you are looking for someone to represent you regarding a long-term disability insurance claim and to be the best disability advocates for you, look no further than the McKennon Law Group PC. – Dr. F.

Robert Mc Kennon and his team of attorneys have been great, very professional compassionate and kind. They have treated my case with the utmost care and expedience. They have been hard working and diligent regarding everything in this case. They were constantly in contact with myself and my family who have been helping me with my disability; never once did we reach voicemail or have a question go unanswered.
The McKennon Law Group always kept us informed and we never had to leave our home, living hundreds of miles away. We won our appeal just weeks after filing with the Standard. My case had initially been denied by the Standard in bad faith and on false information and lack of doctor records not requested by the Standard. The McKennon Law Group tackled our claim seriously and with diligence. I highly recommend them to anybody filing against the Standard or any other insurance company. We are so pleased with how the McKennon Law Group handled our case, without their knowledge and expertise or help I would not have been able to focus on my disability and recovery process like I have been able to. They are a wonderful advocate and experts in their field. – Pauline.

Mr. Mckennon was a true hero and came in to fight strongly for my client. I would use his services for any ERISA matter in the future. I strongly recommend his services and his team for any of your legal needs. Mr. Mckennon know the law, down sideways and backwards. Furthermore, he was a defense attorney for 2 decades and knew the way they were going to respond and always beat them to the punch. – Joseph N.

I have had to hire attorneys a number of times in my life. It has not always turned out to be the best experience. One time was near the worst experience of my life. The McKennon Law Group is the best I ever worked with the only one that I had no problems or issues with at all. They were very efficient did what they promised and got me the result I needed. I would highly recommend them. – John

The best law firm to have on your side! – Alexis

My legal problems would not have been resolved to my satisfaction is it weren’t for
McKennon Law Group. I am very appreciative of their efforts in getting my issue closed. Thank you! – Richard

Professional experts with solid cummunication skills. Grateful for the excellent work they did on my behalf! – JT

The attorneys I worked with provided timely response to my calls and emails and explained matters in terms I could understand. Their follow-up on status of the situation was also timely and I could depend on them to keep me “in the loop”. I felt my attorneys sincerely cared about me personally and not just as a client. They worked on my behalf for a successful outcome. I would recommend them without hesitation. – JSG

Provided excellent and expedient service for our family – S. S. M.

If your long term disability carrier has decided to quit paying you, as most do, save some time and frustration and contact Mc Kennon Law Group. These guys KNOW the insurance companies, and are case law experts!!

My case was settled without going to trial, for a VERY satisfactory amount. McKennon Law basically gave us our life back!! – Michael

They Are My Angels of Mercy
Professionals Through An Through
They Truly Took An Interest In My Well Being
I Cant Thank Them Enough – Kevin

The outstanding virtues of this firm is their dedication to justice, expertise and vast experience in the disability insurance sector. I felt Robert Mckennon and Joe McMillen truly cared about me and my case. The Billion dollar insurance company did not make it easy–but these guys dug their heels in and fought hard for me. Joe took numerous calls from me, and had enormous patience throughout my stressful and difficult journey. Robert also spoke to me about the case several times. I couldn’t be more pleased with my outcome. In the end I got justice. I wholeheartedly recommend both of these outstanding attorneys. They are heros! – Justice

Following my divorce and losing custody of my two young boys, I suffered from severe depression and daily panic attacks. I just could not concentrate enough to perform my job duties as a financial advisor. After my group insurer terminated my long-term disability benefits, I set out to find the best, most experienced ERISA disability lawyers that I could. I hired the McKennon Law Group PC. They were exceptional at every step of the litigation process. I give Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen my most stellar review, and I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone with a denied disability insurance claim. They were thoroughly prepared for mediation and filed two top-notch motions on my behalf when the case did not settle. I was really impressed with the quality and amount of work they did. They made the whole process relatively painless for me. Best of all, they were able to recover all my disability benefits for me without ever having to go to trial. My deep gratitude to Bob and Joe for all their help and hard work. – Alexander

I retained McKennon Law Group to handle a short term disability claim that a disability processing company, Sedgwick, tried to deny me. Bob and his group have worked hard to get the wages that are owed to me. – Consumer

Excellent communication through out the process. Truely had my best interests in mind. Stephanie Talavera fought hard for me. She really knew how to answer everything they tried to throw at her, with case laws and her professional experience, beet them each time. Excellent team all around. I received a settlement far more than I expected. Thank you McKennon Team! – Dave W.

Outstanding representation and service from a consummate professional law firm. – Thomas

I was extremely happy with the way my case was handled. They did not let the insurance company stall and push me around. I completely recommend them. – Adrienne T.

Excellent in all areas. Highly recommend. – Sindy

McKennon law firm helped me with my case tremendously. They resolved my long term disability denial benefits without resorting to litigation. Both Robert and Ryan have been very attentive to my challenging situation and I highly recommend their law office to anyone experiencing challenges with their insurance denials or any other problems! – Sergey

They are “Miracle Workers”
Robert McKennon & Scott Calvert represented my claim for unpaid benefits that was 17 years old.
Other firms said “The Statute of Limitations” makes your claim unenforceable.
Robert & Scott took their personal time to read my policy and documentation which was more than 50 pages.
They concluded that the insurance company had an obligation to pay those benefits as an exception to the Statute of Limitations.
They attempted to amicably settle with the insurance company and were denied.
They immediately filed a lengthy lawsuit.
Their legal knowledge and determination to represent my best interests resulted in a “miracle settlement”, which I am very pleased with.
I live more than 100 miles away from their offices and had no problems working with them over the phone & via E-mail.
You cannot find a better firm to protect you and your families interest than McKennon Law. – Randy

From experience: Great lawyers. Fair and competent. A premier firm with lots of experience. Highly recommended. – Ram

Amazing they were very good honest and really did what was in my best interest – Stephanie

This is the most professional, thorough and effective law offices I’ve ever worked with! Thank you! – Nancy D.

After several years fighting for my disability claim with a giant educational institution an agreement for payment was made. Mckennon Law, especially Joe McMillen worked tirelessly to close this chapter. I never once doubted their abilities to do what was in my best interest. – Corine

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group to handle any denied disability insurance claim anywhere in the country. Bob McKennon and Amber Dufault provided excellent services and were very committed to my case.
I live in Wisconsin. In September of 2017 I was approved for LTD through Lincoln Insurance Company. In December 2017 Lincoln encouraged me and provided legal consult to apply for Social Security Disability. I received an approval June of 2018. I was also granted back pay from December 2017 to June of 2018. Much to my surprise I received a denial notice from Lincoln July of 2018, that I know longer met their disability qualifications for benefits. I was truly devastated and felt that my benefits were wrongful terminated.
And this point I didn’t know where to turn: 3 appeals and 3 denials. I had work hard and saved all my life and didn’t expect to “retire” under these circumstances. I searched the internet looking for a reliable nationwide ERISA disability insurance denial legal firm. After reading the firm’s excellent online reviews of my firms I decided to contact McKennon Law Group. My call was immediately answered and after explaining the history of my case the lawyer said he needed to review the information I had provided to Bob and would contact me in the next few days. Much to my surprise I received a call hours later stating they would be happy to take my case even though I lived in Wisconsin.
Within a short time, the McKennon team reached out to me stating they would be representing me. Within a few conversations and emails I realized I did indeed make the right decision. Not only were they very professional and knowledgeable, they were also kind and caring. They filed my complaint and within a month, Lincoln decided to pay my claim in full and also pay my future long-term disability benefits, my attorney’s fees and interest. This was a complete victory for me. My experience has been nothing but wonderful with this legal team. As stated earlier in my testimonial I would highly recommend this team. – Tammy A.

My insurance company Met Life went from everything is “sweetness and light” to a surprise “case review period” two months after I spent yet another week in the hospital from my permanent disability. They quickly went from friendly and supportive to hiring an “independent doctor” to review my case who, of course, found I was able to return to my usual occupation. In addition, their doctor created arbitrary restrictions, based solely on reviewing my documentation and not examining me. The insurance company then denied my case, and even my own doctor’s letters would not get them to reconsider, so I was in a real “David vs. Goliath” situation and clearly out of my depth. Fortunately, I was able to find the McKennon Law Group. Their attorneys immediately made me feel confident that I not only had a solid case, but I felt like I had a true partner who was as invested in my case as I was. Joe McMillen who handled the matter along with Robert McKennon, was not only confident and expert at what he did, but also sympathetic and understanding of my needs, and would keep me on task when my focus waned. Their service was excellent, and they returned phone calls and emails promptly, explained what was happening, and worked with me to form a strategy to win my appeal and restore my benefits. It was a long journey with many challenges, but in the end, we successfully won the appeal and restored my benefits. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone going up against a private disability company at any stage of your case. You need an advocate who can fight for your rights as successfully as the McKennon Law Group does. – Neil P.

I hired the McKennon Law Group PC after my claim for accidental death benefits based on the tragic death of a loved one was denied. Robert and his team were very professional and handled this issue very quickly. They went to work right away contacting the insurance company on my behalf and were able to negotiate a great settlement amount on a very difficult case. I would highly recommend them for any insurance issues you have. – Jennifer H.

I thought I would lose my case until I left my old law firm for McKennon Law Group PC. My insurer denied my disability insurance claim on the basis of paperwork review and one examination by a doctor they were paying. They dragged their feet and even pretended not to have received an essential fax. Things got easier when I started working with the attorneys at McKennon Law Group. They know the disability claims field inside out, including the MOs of each insurance company. The firm argues each case convincingly, on the basis of real analysis of the evidence, they don’t go in for the Pro-forma approach used by other lawyers. Their service was excellent and they return phone calls and emails promptly, explain what’s going, and are very sensitive when discussing medical matters. Throughout the process, I felt that the firm cared about me. Thanks to Nick West and Bob McKennon, I am now financially secure in spite of the loss of my career to disability. – Joy E.

I would highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC for any insurance matter. I was pleased & satisfied with the professionalism & service I received. Amber Dufault was awesome, she was always easy to reach & quick to respond either by phone or email to any question I had from beginning to end, highly recommend, 5 stars. – Maria

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC especially Nick West and Bob McKennon. They helped me immensely were professional, kind and caring. The financial hardship that comes with a disabling condition is significant. I developed a wide variety of different medical conditions including back problems. When I could no longer work, I applied for disability benefits. Sedgwick insurance company initially paid me however they suddenly terminated my benefits even though my condition was deteriorating. I contacted the McKennon Law Group PC for help. My medical conditions became debilitating and continued to worsen. Thanks to Bob and Nick my LTD disability claim was approved. I now can focus on treating my health condition. Thanks to their amazing work, my benefits were reinstated. I cannot thank them enough! – Vicki

I would like to highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC. I was a computer security specialist and I developed debilitating back problems that caused difficulty walking, carrying objects and using my dominant hand. I also suffer from severe back pain. I had a short-term disability policy through my employment. When I eventually reached the point where I could work no longer, I filed a short-term disability claim. My employer agreed to pay my claim at first but later they told me that I had to return to work. I knew I needed a top ERISA disability attorney to help me with my claim. The McKennon Law Group PC has done a great job for me and I am glad I hired them. They first helped me with my ERISA appeal. When my appeal was denied, they sued my employer and convinced them to pay me all of the benefits owed to me under the short-term disability plan. My employer did not even bother to file an answer to the Complaint. They just agreed to pay me the maximum benefits I was permitted to receive under the plan. I can easily recommend them to anyone else with a disability claim. – Jim Z.

McKennon Law Group PC is the go-to firm to handle disability ERISA insurance claims. I was an OR nurse for many years. While assisting a surgeon in the OR, I hit my head. In an instant, my entire world changed and, initially, I did not even realize it. Within a couple of days, I had passed out, developed severe nausea, dizziness, and migraines. I could not work. I had long-term disability insurance through my work. The insurer even agreed to pay me my benefits. Then, two years later, they suddenly said my disability was not physical in nature even though it all started with me hitting my head! They denied my claim under a 2-year limitation for mental health conditions. I needed help from excellent attorneys and so I hired McKennon Law Group PC even though I am in South Carolina. I am eternally grateful I chose to hire them. Bob McKennon and Nick West were wonderful. They filed a lawsuit against my insurance company. When I had to move across the country due to my financial situation, they managed to arrange for me to appear at a mediation via video so that I would not need to travel, something I could not afford. Ultimately, Bob and Nick helped me through the litigation and mediation process. I could not have made it without them. After a grueling all-day mediation that ran into the night, we settled my claim. I cannot overemphasize just how great of a job they did for me. I cannot recommend them and thank them enough. – Loreta P.

My experience with McKennon Law Group PC has been amazing, outstanding. I was unable to find an attorney to take my bad faith disability case. Most lawyers I spoke to would only take a Social Security disability matter. My brother-in-law, a prominent New York lawyer, recommended McKennon Law Group PC to me. I called on a Sunday and Joe McMillen called me back. From that point on, I have been thoroughly impressed with every aspect of their work, from the careful attention they took to produce high-quality work-product, to the patience and compassion they had for me. Joe has handheld me through every process. Having brain fog and being on pain meds, I had trouble prioritizing and getting information to him, but patiently he broke it up into easy pieces so I could get him the info. necessary for my case. Bob McKennon and Joe settled my case for a very nice settlement far exceeding the policy’s full value, so I can go on with my life and be able to care for myself. I will be forever grateful. – Charley S.

My overall experience with McKennon Law Group PC: Excellent! The Best! I suffer from excruciating chronic low back pain, multiple herniated discs, and pinched nerves that cause me shooting pain down to my legs and feet. I have had seven surgeries on my feet, knees, and shoulders. I was unable to work and thus filed a long-term disability insurance claim with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, an employee benefit offered through my employer Kaiser Permanente. I became deeply troubled when MetLife quickly denied my disability claim. I appealed the denial by myself and lost. I was depressed. How could I, as a sick and disabled employee, fight this gigantic company for my employee benefits? I turned to the best disability insurance lawyers I could find, Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen of McKennon Law Group PC. They did not disappoint. They aggressively, skillfully and compassionately represented me in my ERISA long-term disability matter at every step of the process. They prepared an excellent Complaint, detailed mediation brief, a motion for summary adjudication (which they won), and two motions to augment the trial record (which they also won). They flew to San Francisco for an out-of-town mediation with me, and when MetLife refused to settle for a reasonable amount, they went to an ERISA trial and won convincingly. Bob and Joe provided outstanding service and obtained all my disability benefits for me, plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Needless to say, I highly recommend them. – Renee M.

After a problem arose with our pension, we were referred to and very fortunate to find Robert McKennon’s law firm, the McKennon Law Group, PC. Nicholas West, an associate with the firm, was assigned the case to work with Mr. McKennon. We can’t thank Mr. West enough for the great job he did over the last year. Mr. West kept us informed of everything that was going on with the case and answered any questions we had. We had to travel to another state for a mediation. Mr. McKennon met us there. We settled the matter, and our settlement was such that we walked away feeling like we had won the case!! Thank you again Mr. McKennon and Mr. West for a job well done! We would highly recommend you to anyone. – Larry A.

At 61, I never expected to experience diabetic neuropathy, congestive heart failure or a torn rotator cuff all in the same period. The heart failure forced me to bed rest and inactivity from my well rewarded bank employment. My disability approved, and I was under doctor’s care when after 7 months the long term disability benefits stopped. I searched online at the library for legal help and surprisingly during my search the McKennon Law Group popped up on the monitor. How prophetic because I’m in FL and the firm is in CA! Attorney Bob McKennon reviewed my situation and was aware of how the insurance companies act in bad faith. He agreed to take my case and I endured the loss of health coverage and the need for treatment to relocate for it but, it was all worth it as in time the insurer agreed to settle out of court. My assessment as a Paralegal by education tells me McKennon Law Group handled my case formidably and methodically to a successful outcome. I am happy I contacted the firm despite being out of their area and State. Their legal expertise knows no boundaries. – W. Cooper (FL/NY)

I am so happy I found McKennon Law Group! I live in New York and after my life insurance policy was wrongfully cancelled, I researched and looked for the best life insurance law firm I could find in the country. After my research, I hired McKennon Law Group even though they are in California because I had confidence in their ability given their excellent reputation and long list of success stories. They did a great job.They filed an ERISA lawsuit to force the insurer to reinstate my life insurance policy. The insurer immediately capitulated and reinstated my policy and they even recovered 100% of my attorneys’ fees. It was a total and complete victory! When I called the firm, the lawyers were very easy to talk with. McKennon Law Group is an asset to anyone who is being treated unfairly by their insurance company.I highly recommend this law firm to anyone with assurance that they will do an excellent job with any type of denied insurance claim. – Karen H.

When I developed a major issue with a denial of a long-term disability claim with a very large disability insurer, multiple colleagues and lawyer acquaintances recommended the McKennon Law Group PC. I did my homework and decided they were the best disability insurance firm I could find and I hired them. They immediately stepped in and very quickly the insurer changed their tune and agreed to a mediation. I obtained a lump sum buy-out settlement with the disability insurer agreeing with my interpretation of the benefits as McKennon Law Group advocated on my behalf. Concerns I had after the settlement were skillfully handled by the firm. Robert McKennon’s excellent reputation with this major insurer made them rethink their usual tactics and come to a fair settlement. I particularly want to thank Andrea Soliz, Mr. McKennon’s associate attorney, for her outstanding work and superior and comforting communication skills. The process was extremely stressful and my financial future was at stake but in the end I am very thankful and satisfied with the result and with the firm’s very fine work. – Dr. K.M.

I retained the McKennon Law Group for an ERISA matter relating to an insurance claim. The team at McKennon made a quick, up front assessment of my case and concluded that we had a good chance of a successful outcome. The team at McKennon was thorough, easy to work with, answered my questions with concern and completeness. They subsequently created a brief that was sufficiently convincing so as to avoid lengthy and protracted litigation. In the end, I’m pleased to be able to report that under the guidance and direction of the McKennon team we were awarded the full extent of our claim! An outstanding result from an outstanding firm! – Bonin

McKennon Law Group PC is outstanding.  Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen of McKennon Law Group won my long-term disability matter against Hartford, one of the largest insurers in the world.  The firm submitted a top-notch ERISA written appeal and worked with my neurologist to refute Hartford’s medical consultant’s opinion.  Hartford ultimately agreed to overturn my claim denial.  This firm does excellent work and is extremely knowledgeable about ERISA disability law.  I am deeply grateful to Bob, Joe and the entire team at McKennon Law Group PC.  – Lilyan K.

I cannot recommend McKennon Law Group enough. They are the to-go to firm to handle ERISA and denied disability insurance claims. I worked for a multinational corporation for over 30 years when I was involved in an automobile accident that left me disabled and unable to continue working. Sedgwick, the disability third-party claims administrator, initially approved and paid my disability benefits for over two years. However, it suddenly changed its position and denied my disability claim. I decided I needed the best law firm I could find to fight Sedgwick and hired the McKennon Law Group. They did an incredible job. They drafted a detailed and very persuasive appeal letter and convinced Sedgwick to reinstate my benefits without even going to court! They have agreed to pay all past-due benefits owed to me and to pay my future benefits owed to me. I am grateful that I hired such excellent insurance denial claims attorneys who are so knowledgeable in ERISA and insurance issues. They did a wonderful job. – Craig G.

When you apply for insurance you have the idea that you will be covered if and when something bad happens. Well, something bad happened and our life insurance company rescinded our life insurance policies alleging we made misstatements on the insurance application. We were faced with fighting the insurer with no idea where to begin. Thankfully, I found Bob and Ryan with the McKennon Law Group. Bob and Ryan took care of everything for us and kept us in the loop the whole way. They spent massive amounts of time representing our interests and aggressively fighting our insurer. We ultimately settled the case and we now have a nest egg to help with my husband’s ongoing costs and treatments. Thank you, Bob and Ryan—without you we would have gotten nothing! We very much appreciate the excellent job you did for us and we would recommend you to anyone who needs aggressive and experienced insurance lawyers. – Lesley S.

After being diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and receiving a liver transplant, I could no longer work at my job as Vice President of Real Estate and Facilities for a large mortgage company. I filed a long-term disability claim with my disability insurer, Aetna, which was approved and paid for two years. After two years, Aetna terminated my claim because it wrongfully decided that my liver condition was caused by alcohol abuse. The policy contained a two-year limit on benefits for disabilities primarily caused by alcohol abuse. I knew in order to fight this decision I needed to have aggressive, highly experienced ERISA disability attorneys on my side. Luckily, I was able to partner with the McKennon Law Group PC. Because of the firm’s aggressive advocacy, Aetna reversed its decision shortly after the lawsuit was filed and paid me all of my past-due disability benefits. They were also able to convince the judge to award me significant attorneys’ fees, costs and interest on the past-due benefits. I am beyond thankful to them for the excellent work they did handling my case. They helped guide me through a very stressful ordeal and always took the time to answer my questions and address all of my concerns. If you have a denied disability insurance claim and are looking for exceptional representation, I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC.

After years of battling anxiety and depression, my condition got so bad that I was unable to work. I knew I needed to file a disability claim, but I was so ill that I could not even fill out the paperwork to file the claim. So I went searching for the best disability insurance attorneys I could find and that was the McKennon Law Group PC! Bob and Andrea quickly went to work gathering documents for my claim and working with my treating physicians. They submitted a disability claim to my long-term disability insurer, Northwestern Mutual, and within a couple of months, my claim was approved. The attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC were so amazing and supportive throughout this entire process. Not only did they do a wonderful job of handling my case but it allowed me to fully concentrate on battling my ongoing medical challenges. I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC for their expertise, hard work and compassion. They truly help their clients in their greatest time of need. If you are looking for someone to represent you regarding a long-term disability insurance claim and to be the best disability advocates for you, look no further than the McKennon Law Group PC. – Dr. F.

I could no longer perform my occupation as a Specialty physician, which I had practiced for 35 years, because of a medical condition. When my long-term disability insurer denied my claim and detailed appeals, I knew I needed aggressive, exceptional disability lawyers. I looked for disability insurance attorneys where I lived but, unfortunately, several law firms rejected my case citing that it presented too many challenges. Some attorneys told me that my bad faith claim was barred by the statute of limitations. I felt fortunate when Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen of McKennon Law Group PC decided to take my case. They aggressively refuted the insurer’s statute of limitations (and other) defenses which the other attorneys had mistakenly said could not be done. They ultimately won a large, six-figure settlement of my long-term disability case at mediation despite its challenges. This is an exceptional firm, the best in the insurance bad faith disability law arena. My deep gratitude to Bob, Joe and the staff at McKennon Law Group PC. – Dr. Paul S.

I suffer from excruciating chronic low back pain following two spine surgeries, right shoulder impingement, degenerative arthritis in both my hands and wrists, and insomnia from my pain. I was unable to work and thus filed a long-term disability insurance claim. I became deeply troubled when my long-term disability insurer quickly denied my disability claim. I turned to the best disability insurance lawyers I could find, Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen of McKennon Law Group PC. They did not disappoint. They aggressively and skillfully represented me in my ERISA long-term disability matter at every step of the process. They collected evidence for and prepared a top-notch appeal. After my long-term disability insurer denied my appeal, they filed an ERISA lawsuit in federal court that convincingly detailed why my insurer was wrong and must pay my long-term disability benefits. That resulted in my insurer quickly settling my case. I did not even have to wait for a trial or worry about this any further. My deep appreciation to Bob and Joe for all their great work. I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone who has a denied insurance claim, especially a denied disability insurance claim. – Alex H.

Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen of McKennon Law Group PC won my long-term disability case against a large educational institution and its third-party insurance claims administrator. They filed a motion to dismiss but Bob and Joe soundly defeated the motion, forcing them to mediate. The firm submitted top-notch briefs to defeat the motion and at mediation. The defendants ultimately agreed to pay a large settlement. They held my hand every step of the way. This is an outstanding firm extremely knowledgeable about ERISA disability law. My deep appreciation to Bob, Joe and the entire team at McKennon Law Group PC. – Corine S.

For 25 years, I worked as a dentist performing the full array of complex dental procedures and working a full-time schedule 60 hours per week at my own dental practice. Over the years, the job took its toll on my body and I developed severe neck, back, arm and wrist pain. I was forced to sell my dental practice because my pain became too debilitating. I eventually transitioned into doing part-time light dentistry only and I then filed a claim for long-term disability benefits with my disability insurer. A few months later, the insurance company denied my claim. I knew that I could not fight the insurance company on my own so that is when I decided to hire the best disability law firm I could find which was the McKennon Law Group PC. The attorneys worked tirelessly on my behalf and submitted various letters to the insurance company advocating for the reversal of the denial decision. I knew my case was complicated because of the fact that I continued working after my disability date but McKennon Law Group PC did an excellent job of maneuvering through this issue and getting my claim paid. Since the firm has a very strong reputation with my insurer, they were interested in a mediation to avoid a lawsuit. The insurer reversed its decision and agreed to pay a high six-figure lump sum buy-out settlement covering all of my past-due and future long-term disability benefits. I am so grateful that I found the McKennon Law Group PC. Without them I would not have been able to recover the disability benefits to which I was entitled. I could not have been happier with the results they obtained for me. If you are looking for a law firm that will represent your best interests and be the best advocate for you, I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC. – H. Z.

I taught children for the United States Navy. After the birth of my third child, I developed a severe infection. I also started suffering from horrific pain in my leg and crippling postpartum depression. Through my work, I was covered by a group short-term and long-term disability policy. I filed a claim for both short-term and long-term disability benefits. The insurer paid my benefits while I recovered from the infection, they refused to pay disability benefits while I attempted to address my leg pain and depression. When they denied my appeal, I knew I needed help so I looked for the best disability insurance lawyers I could find, and I found the McKennon Law Group PC. I am eternally grateful I hired them. They quickly started working on my case. They sued the insurer for refusing to pay me my benefits even though I clearly could not work with children. My case was legally difficult, but that did not deter them. Bob and Nicholas always took the time to answer my numerous questions. Everyone at McKennon Law Group PC helped me through the process and, after a mediation, we settled my case for far more than I had thought possible. Everyone at the McKennon Law Group PC was wonderful. I am grateful I found them and cannot recommend them enough. If you have a denied disability insurance claim, you should hire them as I believe they are the best disability attorneys around. – Anna C.

My story of long-term disability starts like many others. The first two years were fairly reasonable. But suddenly, at month 25, everything changed. Suddenly, in the insurer’s opinion, I was able to go back to work. I decided to handle the first appeal with the carrier on my own. No surprise, it was rapidly rejected. After dragging my feet for a while, I contacted Robert McKennon of McKennon Law Group PC. He responded to my inquiry online VERY quickly. Robert patiently explained the process to me, reviewed my case and agreed to represent me. I did McKennon no favor by waiting so long to contact them, but they never flinched and met the insurer’s appeal deadline. McKennon’s response was stunning, but the insurer still denied the appeal. I should add here that all correspondence from the McKennon Law Group PC is customized for the client. I assure you that McKennon Law Group PC is NOT a “cut and paste” organization. Their knowledge of case law is incredible. My case was headed up by Joe McMillen. Throughout the entire process, Joe always kept me informed and in the loop. He is and was always reachable, and I never once got voicemail or had a question go unanswered. We ended up having to file a lawsuit. I didn’t think there was any way we would get to where we needed to be. Joe, however, was very deliberate and cool under pressure. To my amazement, we were able to resolve my case for what I was expecting!! I am still in a bit of disbelief. My wife and I are so grateful to the entire team at McKennon Law Group PC. We had forgotten what it was to live, and not just exist. After struggling for two years, worrying every day and night about the next mortgage payment, we now see the light at the end of the tunnel and KNOW it is not a freight train. Our heartfelt thanks to Bob, Joe and the entire team at McKennon Law Group PC. You have truly given us our lives back. – Mike O.

In April 2016, I was diagnosed with leukemia and suffered serious complications related to my cancer treatments. Due to my medical condition I was no longer able to perform my job as Director of a major automotive manufacturer. I filed a claim for long-term disability benefits with my employer’s long-term disability insurer, Greater Georgia Life, which was approved. However, to my dismay, after receiving benefits for 2 years they were discontinued because they claimed that my medical condition no longer prevented me from working in my prior or any other occupation. I knew in order to appeal this decision I could not do it alone. I needed to hire the best disability advocates I could find and was fortunate enough to partner with the McKennon Law Group PC. On my behalf, they submitted a comprehensive appeal to the insurer explaining all of the medical facts supporting this appeal and also the mistakes/errors they had made in evaluating my case and, in a few months, the insurer overturned its claim denial, agreed to pay all of my past-due long-term disability benefits and future disability benefits. I am so pleased that I found the McKennon Law Group PC. Not only did they do a wonderful job of handling my case but it allowed me to fully concentrate on battling my ongoing medical challenges. The attorneys are professional, responsive and I was extremely impressed with the quality of their work. Without their knowledge and help, I would not have been able to recover the disability benefits to which I was entitled. I cannot thank them enough. If you are looking for someone to represent your best interests and be the best advocate for you, I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC. – Thomas M.

On April 24, 2018, my husband died due to an interaction between various medicines and some alcohol. Through his work, my husband was covered by an accidental death and dismemberment policy governed by ERISA. Prudential, the insurer, refused to pay the benefits. Prudential denied the accidental death claim on the basis that his death was not an accident covered by the policy. I decided to hire the best accidental death insurance law firm in California, the McKennon Law Group PC. They did an incredible job. They quickly drafted a persuasive appeal letter and convinced Prudential to immediately pay me the benefits under the accidental death policy without even going to court! I am eternally grateful that I hired such excellent insurance denial claims attorneys who are so knowledgeable in ERISA and insurance issues. They did a wonderful job and I cannot recommend the McKennon Law Group PC enough. – Monica R.

I hired the McKennon Law Group PC to help with my long-term disability insurance claim and they did not disappoint. After a car accident, I was forced to stop working due to severe chronic back and neck pain and debilitating migraines. My claim for long-term disability benefits was initially approved. However, to my dismay, my long-term disability insurer terminated my benefits after paying them for over 3 years because they claimed I could work in a different occupation. I appealed that decision but my insurer upheld the denial. That is when I looked for and found the best disability attorneys in California, the McKennon Law Group PC. They filed a detailed lawsuit against my insurer and in a few months the insurer reversed its decision and paid me a six-figure settlement covering all of my disability benefits and my attorneys’ fees. I am very happy that I found the McKennon Law Group PC. They did a tremendous job handling my case and I was extremely impressed with the quality of their work. The attorneys are very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. If you need help fighting for your disability benefits, I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC. – Frank N.

While in the prime of my sports medicine career, I suffered a career-ending and life altering neurological event from a vaccine injury. Following a settlement from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), my long-term disability company attempted to undercut my family’s long-term financial stability. They threatened to take an offset against my settlement, despite the NVICP already subtracting an offset for long-term disability payments from my settlement. How did I choose McKennon Law Group PC? First of all, I interviewed 5 disability insurance law firms on the West Coast, many who resisted my attempts to interview them, most who did not allow me to speak to a managing partner, and some even tried to pressure me into hiring them without my own personal vetting process. So, when I called McKennon Law Group PC and was immediately put through to lead attorney and founding shareholder, Robert McKennon, I was duly impressed. Personable, professional, and an excellent listener. His communication skills and previous experience working for, and litigating against, my long-term disability insurance company, made it an easy decision to hire McKennon Law Group PC to represent me. As we proceeded in my case, Joe McMillen became my main point of contact, partnering with Robert McKennon to work on my behalf. Both Robert and Joe treated me as if my case was their only case, and we developed a respectful and transparent alliance to work toward fighting my long-term disability insurance company. My long-term disability insurance company eventually withdrew their request for an offset. I am eternally grateful for the representation that I received from McKennon Law Group PC. I would highly recommend anyone needing their professional assistance to strongly consider this firm. I give them a five-star rating! – John T.

I consider myself very lucky to have found McKennon Law Group PC when I did. They saved my financial life! In December 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Metastatic Breast Cancer. I was in complete shock. Being a physician myself I understood the vulnerability of life and the devastation that comes with a serious medical diagnosis, but I was not prepared to handle my own diagnosis. My emotional, physical and financial journey since has been long and complicated. In very quick succession I had chemotherapy, a hospitalization for fungal sepsis and surgery to remove the cancer and reconstruct my chest and underwent 33 intensive radiation treatments to my chest and surrounding lymph nodes. I was physically weak and emotionally distressed. I also had to run my own medical practice, pay my bills and financially survive. Though initially I received monthly payments from my disability insurance company, after a period of time, they stopped. Over the course of a year, McKennon Law Group PC legally fought the insurance carrier on my behalf. There were many twists and turns along the way. I learned about the importance of “Choice of Law” in contracts! Ultimately, they were able to successfully settle my case. I don’t know what I would have done without them. Robert, Joseph and Debi were there throughout to support and guide and help me through this stressful process. Especially Joseph who did a lot of work on my case. In the end, I am at peace and have great comfort with handling my financial present and future. I am forever indebted to them. I knew on my first phone call they were the law firm to help me. I trust that you will as well. Peace and comfort awaits! – Alexis M.

As a Human Resources executive, I fully understood how insurance companies work from an employer perspective. After several months of battling the insurance company on my own, I knew I required more expertise. I was assigned Joe McMillen, but Robert McKennon was also involved with my case from the beginning. So, I actually received the expertise from two top attorneys throughout my appeal process. When I received a copy of my appeal letter, I was astounded and realized this was not something I could have drafted on my own. Joe called me late on a Friday night to inform me that my denial was overturned, and I was not only eligible on a go forward basis, but I would receive a lump sum payment for the retro benefits from when I was denied. Further, I know that I have the McKennon Group representing me for the duration of my long-term disability eligibility, which means I don’t have to deal with the insurance company directly. I will forever be grateful to Joe and Robert and highly recommend The McKennon Law Group PC. – T.S.W.

I hired McKennon Law Group PC in March 2018 after my long-term disability insurer wrongfully terminated my LTD benefits. I searched through multiple attorneys locally where I live in Minnesota, but none of them matched the qualifications or professionalism I saw or received through the McKennon firm. During my due diligence in looking for the right lawyers, I had called multiple law firms and talked to numerous people. However, with those other firms I was not permitted to even speak with an attorney regarding my claim. When I called the McKennon Law Group PC, my call was promptly answered by an attorney. I felt I was not just another client or statistic for their office. I was a person whom they would personally work hard for and represent respectfully. I have Meniere’s disease. It is a very difficult disease to understand. After explaining to the McKennon lawyers what had happened with my claim, they immediately began gathering information. Any time I had a question, the lawyers personally answered my call or email promptly. Knowing the difficulties of my complex claim, they still took it on. They stuck through it and dissected my denial with a “fine-tooth comb,” making thorough, well-reasoned, expert legal and factual arguments on appeal. Their dedication led to the insurer overturning its denial and granting my administrative appeal. We never had to litigate or file a lawsuit. I credit that to their thorough attention to detail in contesting the denial and explaining my complex medical records. I am now back on claim and cannot thank Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen enough. I am from Minnesota. Don’t let distance deter you. I never met Robert and Joe face-to-face. But they were always available by phone and email. Their hard work, expertise, excellence and dedication to their clients was always evident. Thank you, Robert and Joe, for sticking to my claim and giving me back a bit of peace of mind through this difficult process. – Jennifer H.

I give my highest recommendation of McKennon Law Group PC for long-term disability insurance claim denials. I used to work for a company that manufactures and installs elevators. Through my work, I obtained long term disability insurance. Unfortunately, I suffered a severe stroke that left me unable to work. I filed my long-term disability claim with Hartford but it denied my disability claim. I hired the McKennon Law Group PC, PC and they handled my claim with great expertise and they drafted a thorough and persuasive appeal letter which convinced Hartford to reinstate my benefits. After the extraordinary job they did with my appeal and top notch service, I would recommend them to anyone fighting their insurance company’s denial of benefits. They were always prompt and professional. They did everything I could have asked of them. I made the right choice in hiring them to fight for me. – Al S.

The McKennon Law Group PC handled negotiations on my disability lump settlement. Even though I lived in a different city a few hours away, communication was quick, clear, and professional. Emails and phone calls were promptly answered. They handled all interaction with the insurance company. Their negotiations resulted in a 28% increase over what was initially offered. Their fees were reasonable and much lower than another firm with whom I spoke. I highly recommend this group if you need help negotiating a buyout – don’t take an initial offer! – Andrew L.

I filed a claim for short-term disability insurance benefits with Lincoln National Life but they denied my claim stating that my COPD condition did not prevent me from working as a Business Administrator. Luckily, I found the McKennon Law Group PC. Robert McKennon and David Rankin helped me obtain additional information to support my claim for disability benefits and they sent a very strong and detailed appeal letter explaining my disability, citing important ERISA legal opinions and demanding Lincoln pay the disability benefits I was owed. After receiving the appeal letter, Lincoln agreed to pay all of my disability benefits. McKennon Law Group PC also helped me apply for long-term disability benefits, which I expect to get paid very soon. McKennon Law Group PC is the best at what they do and I highly recommend them for anyone who has been wrongfully denied disability insurance benefits. – Sindy S.

This testimonial is to praise the excellence of McKennon Law Group PC. Around November 2015, I stopped working because of severe back pain. I have undergone numerous treatments, but I am still in constant pain. Through my job, I was covered by a disability insurance policy that provided long-term disability benefits. Initially, my insurer agreed to pay me. However, the insurer later terminated my benefits. I knew I was going to need the very best disability insurance attorneys if I was going to get my insurer to pay me. After meeting the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC, I was convinced that I had found the right firm. They drafted a letter to the insurer explaining why it was wrong to terminate my benefits. The letter was thorough and persuasive. Based on Bob McKennon’s excellent reputation with this insurer, Bob convinced the insurer to mediate the dispute before we even initiated a law suit. Throughout the process, Bob, Nick, and the people at McKennon Law Group PC kept me well informed and provided me with sound advice in how to proceed. The insurer agreed to buyout my policy with a six-figure settlement that included bad faith damages and attorney’s fees. I am extremely grateful that I chose the McKennon Law Group PC to help me and I would highly recommend them for any insurance company claim denial. – Nicole L.

This testimonial is to offer my highest recommendation for the McKennon Law Group PC. In July 2016, I was involved in a severe car accident. I was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and a cervical strain. As a result of my injuries, my doctors determined I was totally disabled. I had previously obtained a disability policy through Lloyd’s of London. I hired McKennon Law Group PC to help navigate my disability claim and obtain my rightful disability benefits. With their considerable and expert help, Lloyd’s decided to pay my initial disability benefits in full. My policy has a two-part payout policy—the second and final part is still under review and I will be following up with my testimonial upon completion of the case, hopefully very soon. I would not have come this far without McKennon Law Group PC backing me with their knowledge of the law. McKennon Law Group PC has extensive experience in dealing with insurance companies and know the best strategies to get them to pay disability insurance benefits to people like me. This law firm really stands behind their clients and fights for them to get their benefits paid. All the attorneys I interacted with were professional, responsive and full of integrity. Thank you for your help and refreshing professionalism. I feel blessed I found the McKennon Law Group PC. – Katarina G.

This testimonial is to tout the excellence of McKennon Law Group PC. Around June 2015, I contracted shingles and underwent emergency brain surgery. After my illness and surgery, I still suffered from severe pain. My doctors determined that my condition was permanent. Through my job, I was covered by a disability insurance policy under ERISA that provided long-term disability benefits. Initially, my insurer agreed to pay me benefits. However, the insurer later terminated my benefits. I knew I would need the help of the best disability attorneys I could find if I was going to get the insurance company to reinstate my benefits. After talking with the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC, I knew I had found the right firm. They appealed my denial of benefits and explained to the insurance company all the mistakes it had made. Not only were they thorough and persuasive in their arguments, but they also always kept me well informed of my case’s progress. The insurer reinstated my benefits, paying all past-due benefits and all of my future benefits. I am so very grateful that I chose the McKennon Law Group PC to help me. They provided excellent service and convinced the insurance company to pay me the money to which I was entitled. – Elsa V.

Following my divorce and losing custody of my two young boys, I suffered from severe depression and daily panic attacks. I just could not concentrate enough to perform my job duties as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. After my group insurer, MetLife, terminated my long-term disability benefits, I set out to find the best, most experienced ERISA disability lawyers that I could. I hired the McKennon Law Group PC. They were exceptional at every step of the litigation process. I give Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen my most stellar review, and I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone with a denied disability insurance claim. They were thoroughly prepared for mediation and filed two top-notch motions on my behalf when the case did not settle. I was really impressed with the quality and amount of work they did. They made the whole process relatively painless for me. Best of all, they were able to recover all my disability benefits for me without ever having to go to trial. My deep gratitude to Bob and Joe for all their help and hard work. – Alexander S.

While the official name of the law firm is McKennon Law Group PC, I prefer to call them the “Miracle Workers.” I approached Robert McKennon and Scott Calvert with a very complicated problem. When my long-term disability claim ended in 2017, I realized that I might have been underpaid for 17 years. I contacted other law firms, but was repeatedly told that “the statute of limitations makes your claim unenforceable.” Robert and Scott actually took the time to read my policy and related documents, and concluded that I was indeed underpaid all those years, and that the disability insurance company had an obligation to pay those benefits regardless of the passage of time. They attempted to amicably settle with the insurance company, but when the company refused to make me whole, the McKennon Law Group PC immediately filed a detailed complaint to initiate a bad faith lawsuit. Their legal knowledge and determination to represent my best interests resulted in a “miracle settlement” that paid all of the benefits owed with interest; a settlement with which I am very pleased. I live more than 100 miles away from their office and had no problems working with them over the telephone and via email. You will not find a better firm to protect you and your family’s interest than the McKennon Law Group PC. – Randy R.

I was earning a substantial income as the Assistant Vice President of Corporate Accounts for a global company, but two spine surgeries left me with unrelenting, debilitating low back pain such that I could no longer work. I filed a long-term disability claim with my group insurer who ultimately denied my disability claim. I then set out to find the best lawyers in California to handle my denied insurance claim. On the recommendation of a few co-workers that were extremely satisfied with their work on other ERISA long-term disability insurance cases, I hired the McKennon Law Group PC to aggressively fight my group long-term disability insurer. They did not disappoint. Contacting them was the best decision I could have made. After my ERISA appeal was denied, they filed a lawsuit in federal court against my insurer. Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen’s advice, tenacity, passion, commitment to my case and legal insight were invaluable. I appreciate that they were always available to answer my questions in a timely, thoughtful and skillful manner. Best of all, they were able to settle my case at mediation for a substantial sum without ever having to go to trial. My deep appreciation to Bob and Joe for all their hard work. I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone with a denied disability insurance claim. – Steve T.

In March 2016, I was unable to continue working as the Executive Director of a laser eye center due to rheumatoid arthritis. I filed a long-term disability claim with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, but the company invoked the ERISA Plan’s pre-existing condition provision to deny my claim. After hiring the McKennon Law Group PC, they quickly reviewed the language of my group disability plan, and realized that Guardian misapplied the pre-existing condition provision. The McKennon Law Group PC sent a letter to Guardian, explaining the company’s error. Eventually, Guardian admitted that it misapplied the provision, reversed its denial decision, reinstated my claim, paid me past-due benefits and I am being paid all current and future benefits owed to me. I am so thankful that I hired a firm with attorneys so knowledgeable in ERISA and insurance issues that they were able to quickly identify Guardian’s error in interpreting its own policy. I cannot thank the Firm enough for its hard work and I recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone who has an unfair insurance claim denial, especially a wrongful ERISA disability claim denial. – Jennifer N.

I would like to provide my highest recommendation for McKennon Law Group PC. Robert McKennon and the attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC worked as staunch advocates for my case. They walked us through every step of the process and provided us with an abundance of information, which gave us the confidence we needed to recover our life insurance benefits and file a bad faith claim which we also recovered on. They do not settle for a “satisfactory” result, these attorneys continue to sacrifice their personal time and hours to make sure their clients get the BEST result. They are true masters of their craft when it comes to life insurance law. However, it is not only their expansive knowledge and experience that sets them apart- Bob and his group of attorneys are exceptional people. After sitting in a 10 hour mediation with Bob and Joe McMillian, I truly felt their warmth and their drive to protect and bring justice to those who have been wronged. They made us feel fully comfortable in a (mediation) setting that can in other circumstances be intimidating. They are the types of attorneys that you work with and continue to have a friendship with even after the case is over. Almost six months following the conclusion of our case and I am still so proud to say I worked with the best in the business, the McKennon Law Group PC. I am eternally grateful for the work done for us by McKennon Law Group PC and the opportunity to have directly experienced how the finest operates. – N.M.

After receiving the initial approval of my long-term disability claim from my insurance company, Liberty Mutual, I thought everything was “good to go.” However, two months later, I received a claim denial letter indicating the company decided that I was no longer entitled to disability benefits. I recognize that it is very hard to take on an insurance company, so I began to search for a law firm that could help me pursue my ERISA claim. A Social Security Disability law firm referred me to the McKennon Law Group PC, telling me that the Firm was “highly recommended” and would be perfect for my needs given their vast experience with disability insurance claim cases and overall success rate. They were right! The McKennon Law Group PC went to work right away, taking over my appeal and aggressively advocating for my disability insurance benefits. Within five months, we received a letter from Liberty Mutual stating that they were reversing the denial decision and informing me that I would once again begin receiving my monthly LTD benefits. I am very pleased with the McKennon Law Group PC and how they handled my case! I highly recommend them. – Gary O.

After working as an aerospace engineer for over thirty years, I was forced to stop working due to chronic back pain. I filed a long-term disability claim under my disability insurance policy with Aetna Life Insurance Company. I provided Aetna with “credible, sufficient, and persuasive” (the Judge’s own words) medical documents supporting my disability, and yet the company refused to approve my long-term disability claim. I hired the best disability insurance law firm I could find, McKennon Law Group PC, to assist me, but despite a compelling appeal letter prepared by Bob McKennon and Scott Calvert, Aetna refused to reverse its claim decision, forcing us to file a lawsuit under ERISA because I obtained my disability policy through my employer. Bob and Scott provided top notch service, regularly kept me updated on the status of my case, and answered all of my questions along the way. At mediation, I was offered a modest settlement, but knowing that Bob and Scott were very experienced ERISA attorneys who believed in my case, who were not afraid to go to trial, and who spoke with candor while citing other specific case wins, they gave me the confidence to go to trial. At trial, the McKennon Law Group PC fiercely advocated on my behalf and convinced federal Judge Andrew Guilford that I was truly disabled and Aetna’s claim decision was wrong. I won my case and I was awarded all of the past due benefits owed, and was placed back on claim. Hiring the McKennon Law Group PC was one of the smartest decisions I ever made. I highly recommend them to anyone with a denied insurance claim. Remember – you are the only one who truly knows the pain you are suffering, and these insurance companies bank on the fact that many people just don’t have the endurance to stand up to their bullying. Bob and Scott (et al.) are in it with you and will treat you with the respect you deserve and provide candor and help with what you need to do to “weather the storm” and prevail. – Brian W.

I was forced to stop working as a dentist due to pain in my left wrist caused by De Quervain’s tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, which left me incapable of performing basic dental procedures. I filed a long-term disability claim with one of the largest insurers in the United States, which was initially accepted. While I was receiving disability benefits, my insurer conducted surveillance and saw me going to my dental office in order to complete paperwork and supervise my employees. The insurer then wrongfully accused me of working and terminated my disability benefits. I knew I needed to hire the best disability insurance lawyers in California. After lots of research, I found McKennon Law Group PC. Thankfully, McKennon Law Group PC knew key lawyers in the insurer’s law department and was able to convince my insurer to offer a generous lump sum settlement in exchange for a surrender of my policy so that I would never have to deal with them again. Robert and David did a wonderful job and without their knowledge and the firm’s strong reputation for getting denied insurance claims paid, I would not have been able to recover my badly needed disability benefits. I cannot thank them enough. I strongly recommend them to any policyholder seeking to hold an insurance company responsible for their policy obligations. –– Bita T.

I was forced to stop working at my job as a manager with a large banking institution because my vision problems and anxiety caused me to experience headaches and prevented me from being able to read financial documents and interact with clients. After approving my claim for short-term disability benefits, Prudential Insurance Company of America denied my claim for long-term disability benefits. I looked for and found the best disability insurance lawyers in California: The McKennon Law Group PC. They filed a lawsuit against Prudential, and after over a year of litigating against Prudential and after trial briefing, with Robert. McKennon and David Rankin aggressively fighting to secure my disability benefits, the court issued a judgment in my favor. This win will allow me to collect all of my attorney’s fees and costs, which will allow me to keep 100% of my long-term disability benefits. Mr. McKennon and Mr. Rankin were always there for me when I needed them. I give my highest recommendation of McKennon Law Group PC to anyone that has a denied claim for life, health or disability benefits from their insurance company. – Elizabeth B.

I hired McKennon Law Group PC after my disability insurer denied my disability insurance claim. They did a great job. They were always quick to reply with any questions or concerns I had. The return time was within the day. They explained everything very clearly and were confident that I had a valid claim. The McKennon Law Group PC worked very closely with me until the case was settled. I have been working on this case for two years. When I called McKennon Law Group PC, the lawyers were very easy to talk with. This law firm settled the case quickly and effectively for the full amount of my disability insurance benefits and all of my attorney’s fees, allowing me to keep all of my disability benefits. This McKennon Law Group PC is an asset to anyone who has a disability case. I will highly recommend this Law Group to anyone with assurance that McKennon Law Group PC will do an excellent job with any type of denied insurance claim, especially a disability claim.
– Jan H.

The most dedicated and professional and experienced lawyers you will ever come across. They represented me in a life insurance case when my daughter was killed in a tragic accident. Her employer and insurer unfairly denied her life insurance benefits. I didn’t have the heart to fight this because i needed to grieve. McKennon Law Group PC …Scott Calvert, Stephanie Talaveri and Robert Mckennon were so genuinely compassionate and dedicated to fight the insurance company for us. They are very experienced with insurance and you wouldn’t be able find another firm that could represent you better than them. – Santy L.

I am very thankful to the McKennon Law Group for helping me with my long-term care insurance policy issue. I am 79 years old and had a potential risk of losing part of my insurance coverage in California, but Bob McKennon and Nicholas West made sure I was fully protected. I’ve worked with a few attorneys in my life, but never encountered a law firm that is as professional as Mckennon Law Group, from my first consultation phone call, all the way to the desired resolution and closure on a case. I worked with Nicholas primarily and his communication style was one of being supportive, patient, and detailed with me, while at the same time being concise and conscious of my time and the firm’s fees. For someone at my age on a fixed budget, those qualities are very much appreciated. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group to anyone in need of the quality legal services they offer. – Alberta K.

We came to the McKennon Law Group PC after our daughter, only age 21, tragically died in a car accident. Our daughter worked part-time in addition to her full-time course load at college, but we did not know if her part-time work, with summers spent performing full-time work, qualified her for life and accidental death insurance benefits. As beneficiaries of our daughter’s life and accident policy, we filed claims for these insurance benefits through our daughter’s employer-sponsored life insurance ERISA plan. After working with the insurer and her former employer for months, the insurer denied our claims. We were shocked and dismayed and knew we had to find the best life insurance lawyers in California. We did our research and found the McKennon Law Group PC. Bob and Stephanie fought so hard for us, every step of the way. Ultimately, they filed an ERISA lawsuit on our behalf and within a month the insurer and the employer paid 100% of our daughter’s death benefits, with interest and 100% of our attorney’s fees (an amount in the six-figures). This allowed us to keep 100% of the life insurance benefits. McKennon Law Group PC’s lawyers truly cared about our case from beginning to end, providing excellent service all along, and we are so grateful. Thank you so much for bringing us some justice for our daughter. – Dominque B.

After researching a number of attorneys who specialize in disability insurance claims, some using very high pressure sales tactics, I settled on McKennon Law Group PC. I was very happy with my decision. The Firm’s attorneys are very knowledgeable and responded quickly to all inquiries. I had the Firm review my disability applications for two policies I had in place and they helped instruct me on how to complete the forms, and then gave me comments on my application and the doctor’s form I submitted, which we changed. Since the benefits at stake were substantial to my future, having the McKennon Law Group PC assist me with the application process was very beneficial, especially since my research showed that one of the insurance companies is known for denying claims. Both of my claims were approved. – Tom K, CPA

In June of 2017, my long-term disability benefits were wrongfully terminated by Cigna. This was devastating to me as I am truly disabled and had no other source of income. I knew I needed representation to file an appeal. Through recommendations from friends and other attorneys I knew, I contacted 6 different ERISA law offices. Either I was given the run around for weeks/months on end or no response to my request for representation at all. This was a big waste of valuable time since there was a deadline to file an appeal. By chance, I found the McKennon Law Group PC through an web search. I called expecting the same ordeal I had been through so many times prior. I’m so thrilled that phone call was the exact opposite of my prior experiences. Mr. McKennon answered that first call I made and took the time to discuss my case right then and there. I immediately felt relief that I was finally dealing with a highly skilled, attentive attorney. After I agreed to their terms, the McKennon Law Group PC hit the ground running since my deadline to appeal was quickly approaching. If I contacted their office during business hours, there was not a single time I did not receive a same-day response from Mr. McKennon and/or Mr. Rankin. Their diligence and knowledge led to my benefits termination being reversed. Being disabled is a huge challenge in and of itself. Add constant harassment and reprehensible benefit denial from a disability insurance company (that is supposed to help one through such a difficult time) to that mix and you have a complete nightmare on your hands. I’m so grateful the arduous journey I went through to find representation, ultimately, led me to the McKennon Law Group PC. Now, I can finally breathe easily and carry on with recovering. I can’t thank the McKennon Law Group PC enough for making that possible. – Kristen Q.

If your long-term disability claim was denied, I highly recommend that you hire the McKennon Law Group PC to fight your insurer’s disability insurance claim denial. After CIGNA suddenly denied my disability claim, I began looking for an attorney to help with my ERISA appeal. I knew I had to hire the right attorneys if I hoped to have my claim paid. I wanted to hire expert attorneys who were knowledgeable, honest, aggressive and had great communication skills. After calling the McKennon Law Group PC, I knew they met all of my criteria. Bob McKennon and Scott Calvert did not disappoint, and hiring them was a great decision. The ERISA appeal letter they prepared on my behalf was superbly written and convinced CIGNA to reverse its denial decision, pay my claim in full and pay it into the future. I did not even have to file a lawsuit or go to court. If you need help fighting for your disability insurance benefits, I cannot recommend the McKennon Law Group PC strongly enough. – Kevin B.

An agent took advantage of my youth and inexperience to lure me into purchasing a very expensive universal life insurance policy as an “investment” that promised large returns. I found out that his primary purpose was to gain a large commission. I had been paying premiums for years before I found out that the agent’s actions were improper. By then, I could barely afford the monthly premium payments, which were the same amount as my rent! Once I found the McKennon Law Group PC, I knew I had found a great firm. Robert McKennon and Stephanie Talavera handled my case professionally, efficiently, and quickly managed to reach an excellent resolution that met my needs. At all times, Bob and Stephanie explained my options, the benefits and risks of each, and gave me the time to fully consider which path was the right. McKennon Law Group PC delivers what they promise. I strongly recommend them because of their professionalism, willingness to listen, and ability to deliver results. Thank you McKennon Law Group PC for all of your help and support! – Anastasia Z.

Whenever involved in a dispute with a life insurance company, it is essential to retain a professional and exceptional law firm who has years of experience in this complicated area of litigation. The McKennon Law Group PC provides exactly that. They will fight for YOU! From the beginning, Joe McMillen and Bob McKennon worked day and night (while producing flawless work) to help me win my bad faith case against an insurer who wrongfully denied my benefits. Their unique perspective and strategy (as they’ve practiced on both the plaintiff and defendant side) kept me well prepared for any tactics the life insurance company tried to throw at me. Bob and Joe understood every minute detail of ERISA and Life Insurance law which payed countless dividends throughout the process. They are also just great people. On top of that, their transparency was outstanding. I exchanged emails with the two of them almost every day, and not once did I have any doubt in my mind in terms of what was going on in my case or how it was being handled. In the end, Bob and Joe helped me recover ALL the benefits due under the policy, plus attorney fees and emotional distress damages through mediation. We didn’t even have to go to court! I could not have asked for a better outcome. I give the McKennon Law Group PC my highest recommendation. Truly an outstanding firm. – Austin M.

I became disabled early in my medical career. Once I could no longer practice as an invasive cardiologist, I applied for long-term disability benefits through my employer’s disability insurance plan. The insurer approved the claim, but incorrectly determined the date of my disability and my pre-disability income. This incorrect determination resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars of reduced benefits. I had seen several attorneys and appealed the insurer’s decision several times, with no success. After being told the McKennon Law Group PC attorneys were the best in the business, I travelled across the country to meet with Mr. Robert McKennon. I immediately decided to hire the Firm. Mr. McKennon and Ms. Stephanie Talavera handled my case professionally, ethically with transparency and were awesome throughout. I am fairly certain that the Firm’s reputation and expertise were behind my success, as they distilled this complex matter to simple terms that everyone could follow, even the insurer. In sum, they did not disappoint. My policy was complicated, the record was extensive, and time was running out. Taking all of this in stride, the Firm developed a strategy for success. Bob and Stephanie provided a detailed and thorough analysis via a demand letter directly to the insurer. The insurer reviewed the letter, commented on the quality work product and the Firm’s highly respected reputation, and agreed to pay (100%) of my missing benefits, with interest and attorney’s fees (an amount in the mid-six figures). After years of fighting for benefits, the correct date of disability was finally acknowledged by the insurer, which helped me with future disability benefits. I could not be happier with the work of the McKennon Law Group PC! – Ravineer R. M.D.

McKennon Law Group PC sets an example that other lawyers should follow. Bob McKennon and Stephanie Talavera handled my case quickly and always kept me informed. It did not matter how seemingly insignificant an update was; they still sent it my way. Not once did I feel like I had to harass them to get information on my case. They worked well beyond business hours to get my case settled and with excellent results. They always advised me on what I should do, but always made it clear that it was my decision alone. They never gave me false hopes or blindly told me that we would win. They always informed me of everything that could happen, and I appreciate that. I was not in the country when they handled my case, but they went out of their way to use readily different methods of communication, so as to keep me informed. Stephanie and Bob treated me like a friend and a client throughout this process. You are in good hands with McKennon Law Group PC and I would recommend them any day! – Judy S.

In 2015 my husband enrolled in two supplemental insurance policies with AFLAC. One was for cancer and the other was a short term disability policy. In 2016 my husband began treatment for leukemia. We submitted our claim and all requested documents and after eight months of review the claims were denied. After consideration of our options we contacted McKennon Law Group PC. Robert McKennon and his team were very beneficial in helping us and reached a settlement for us. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs assistance in claiming insurance benefits due them. I cannot thank McKennon Law Group PC enough for the work they did and providing a favorable outcome. Thank you!
– Chad S.

McKennon Law Group PC rocks! I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who needs assistance with an impossible insurance company that simply will not listen to the facts. I had been through multiple reconsiderations, appeals, and thought that I would never be able to get the benefits rightfully owing to me. Alas, Mr. McKennon and Mr. McMillen were amazing. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. I was billed only for what we agreed upon – no surprise extra add-ons. And the most important thing was that they were looking out for my best interest and GOT ME THE ENTIRE BENEFITS THAT WE WERE GOING FOR! OUTSTANDING JOB! I cannot say enough what an excellent, professional job McKennon Law Group PC did on my case. Definitely check them out!! – Dr. Stephen B.

My disability greatly affects my control of behaviors. I have been in and out of hospitals for many years. In 2014, I took up new employment with a company that offered short-term disability supplemental benefits. About a year in, I was again hospitalized. However, the STD company provider declined my claim. I spent months of back and forth trying to get them to pay my claim but hey continued to deny it. So, I contacted the McKennon Law Group PC. I spoke with Robert McKennon and he said we had a great chance with my case. Robert told me my claim did not fall under ERISA protection since the STD supplemental provider was a payroll benefit and this was good for me because I could sue for bad faith. Robert and his team never skipped a beat. He decided to go after them with a bad faith claim and they didn’t hold back! They fought extremely hard for me. When I thought it may be over, McKennon Law Group PC got them again and again. It was truly amazing. I worked a lot with one team member Stephanie Talavera. She was so professional, and her work was amazing! Robert and his team were able to negotiate a settlement for far more than just my disability benefits. Absolutely phenomenal! I would recommend them to anyone. – Dave W.

In mid-2016 I started suffering from debilitating chronic fatigue and could not go to the job I loved. I filed the application for disability and was devastated when it was denied. I had five doctors agreeing that this was my disability. I turned to McKennon Law Group PC for the appeal as I felt the paperwork for an appeal was overwhelming, and that at this point I would not receive my legitimate disability claim without the assistance of a lawyer. I cannot say enough positive words to express my appreciation. My appeal was denied and McKennon Law Group PC worked diligently both on the appeal and preparation for my hearing at which evidence was presented. I believe they provided such a credible presentation and written information for the hearing that my appeal was overturned after the hearing. The attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC were always available to talk with me and responded quickly to phone calls and e-mails. I am so grateful to Robert McKennon, Joe McMillen, and staff for all of their hard work, skill, knowledge and compassion. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC for anyone who needs legal assistance with an insurance claim that is denied. – Debbie R.

Robert McKennon and Stephanie Talavera of the McKennon Law Group PC provided a thorough examination of my case regarding LTD and AD&D. The separate issues had been previously denied twice by my major insurance carrier. They identified flaws, made compelling arguments, cited case law and filed two lawsuits. The suits were combined as one and were quickly and amicably settled at mediation. I am a Senior VP at one of the largest wealth management firms and I could not have chosen a better group. – Mike F.

After 12 years of receiving long-term disability insurance benefits from Prudential, while in the hospital, I received a telephone call notifying me that my claim was being denied. Prudential’s denial decision came completely without warning, and was devastating as my insurance benefits are my only source of income. Then, a friend highly recommended McKennon Law Group PC. I called and was put straight through to an attorney, who listened to everything I said with compassion. Within two days I had the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC fighting my battle for me. It was a huge relief to know that I would not have to fight Prudential alone. The McKennon Law Group PC immediately got to work on my behalf, working with my doctors to support my claim.When I saw the letter the McKennon Law Group PC prepared to appeal my claim denial, I was so impressed. It was clear that the Firm really knows how to handle ERISA disability appeals. After reading the letter, I just couldn’t see us losing the appeal – and we didn’t! We won, and Prudential paid my claim, including all past-due benefits and future benefits due to me. Hiring McKennon Law Group PC was life-altering, allowing me to once again afford to pay my rent and the medication I need. If you need help with a disability insurance claim, call the McKennon Law Group PC. If you’re looking for peace of mind, these attorneys are true professionals who care for your well-being. – Kevin K.

In 2014, I started suffering from debilitating depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I could no longer perform the job I loved as a business relationship manager for one of the nation’s largest banks. I was devastated when my group long-term disability insurer denied my claim and appeal, leaving me with no income to support myself. Not knowing what to do, I turned to the McKennon Law Group PC. They are experts in ERISA disability law. Hiring them was the best decision I made. Their advice, counsel and intricate knowledge of ERISA law were invaluable. They skillfully negotiated a fantastic settlement for me. Not only that, they made me feel like a very important client. I am so grateful to Bob McKennon and Joe McMillen for all their work, dedication and empathy. I can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone with a denied claim for disability benefits. – Dora M.

I had a long-term disability insurance claim that the McKennon Law Group PC handled superbly. It is really hard to understand all the “ins and outs” of disability claims. Robert McKennon, Joe McMillen and their staff were there for me answering all of my questions about my case and ERISA laws because I cannot understand things like I used to because of my disability. Eventually, after my long-term disability insurer denied my claim, the firm filed litigation and the insurer decided to pay the full value of my claim as a lump sum in addition to paying my attorney’s fees! I am so grateful to them and just very happy that they were there for me. I cannot express enough how much their kindness and understanding meant to me. – Stephanie R.

In early 2016, after suffering for many years with autoimmune complications that caused severe pain, I was forced to stop working, and was put on long term disability. As a professional engineer who always kept excellent insurance, I was shocked to learn that my long-term disability insurer denied my benefits. I immediately gathered all of my medical records, and initiated the appeal process. I had a very solid case with long time physicians backing my claims, as well as substantive medical evidence. However, this was still not enough and my appeal was denied again, with no solid rationale for this decision. I knew I needed help, and I began looking into law firms specializing in this area. After several weeks of careful research, I settled on retaining the McKennon Law Group PC. This was probably the single most important decision I made in the last 20 years my professional career. After a rigorous six month battle with the insurance company, the McKennon Law Group PC was able to reinstate my medical benefits and had a check to me for the full amount due just days after the decision was made. They also ensured that I would receive my future monthly payments for the rest of my life. The firm was very professional every step of the way. Their counseling was spectacular and everything this law firm did was absolutely first class all the way. The McKennon Law Group PC has a stellar reputation for a very good reason. My deepest appreciation goes out to Robert McKennon and Scott Calvert for their tenacity and hard work which without, I would still be unjustly without benefits. Again, my decision to retain the McKennon Law Group PC was the best decision of my professional career. Words alone truly cannot express my gratitude and I would highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone needing a firm specializing in insurance related law. – Jason S

In 2015, after my mother passed away in a nursing home, I found out she had a long-term care insurance policy. I notified her insurer of her death and filed a claim for benefits. Repeated calls to the insurer resulted in disconnected numbers or new representatives who were not familiar with the case. I was getting the “insurance runaround.” After two years, my patience ran out with no hope of getting reimbursed. In April 2017, I contacted the McKennon Law Group PC for assistance. Their advice and counsel was invaluable. In just four months, great news, this matter was resolved and the claim paid in full. They were also able to get me extra money because of the insurer’s bad faith conduct. My deep appreciation to Robert McKennon and Joseph McMillen for all their hard work. Contacting them was the best decision I made. I can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone in similar circumstances. – Richard T. and Merle W

Just ONE accident changed my life forever. I was unable to fully function mentally and physically. I needed special assistance to perform activities of daily living. I stopped working and hired help to get through my daily responsibilities and needs. During this difficult time, I filed a claim under my life insurance policy for accelerated benefits because of my cognitive disability. After filling out all their necessary documentation and getting them all my medical records, they declined my claim.I knew that I needed help to fight for my rights, so I contacted a few law firms looking for the best law firm I could find for my claim. McKennon Law Group PC fit the bill and made me feel like a very important client. Robert McKennon and his associate Stephanie Talavera contacted my insurer and kept me informed of the status of the case and what to expect. They obtained the evidence I needed and wrote a very effective letter to my insurer arguing for my benefits. Within just a few months, I had great results: the insurer paid all of the accelerated benefits they previously denied. I would gladly recommend McKennon Law Group PC to anyone who is looking for an excellent law firm that will quickly get them results they seek. Dealing with insurance companies can be nerve-racking. The McKennon Law Group PC is the best. – Usha R., Ph.D.

Due to extreme back pain, I was forced to stop working as an aerospace engineer. Unfortunately, after initially approving my claim, the insurance company refused to continue paying me the short-term disability benefits I was owed. I hired the McKennon Law Group PC, and they filed an ERISA lawsuit seeking to force the insurer to pay me my disability benefits. About two months after the lawsuit was filed, the disability insurer agreed to pay, not only all the benefits I was owed, but also my attorneys’ fees and costs. This allowed me to keep 100% of the benefits I was owed. The McKennon Law Group PC was able to do in just a few months, what I was unable to do when I appealed the claim on my own. If you need help forcing an insurance company to pay you the disability insurance benefits to which you are rightfully entitled, you should hire the McKennon Law Group PC. I’m glad I did. – Brian W.

My experience with the McKennon Law Group PC was outstanding to say the least. After my mother passed away, her life insurance company decided to deny life insurance benefits. I knew getting the claim paid was going to yield a slim chance, however, the McKennon Law Group PC was by my side the entire way. Their outstanding commitment to me and my family was evident from day one. In the end, Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen were able to put together an outstanding appeal for the life insurance benefits, including hiring the right expert, and helped my family receive 100% of our due benefits when the insurer overturned its claim denial and paid the claim. Their professionalism and expertise is a direct reflection of their longstanding success in this business. I couldn’t have asked for a more helpful group of attorneys to help me during this troubling time. Thank you for everything you have done. – Austin M.

I was recently represented by McKennon Law Group PC, specifically Robert McKennon and Joseph McMillen for my disability insurance claim. I had completed original paperwork on my own, appealed original denials by the insurance company and was granted benefits, only to have them cancel me a year later without cause. After my benefits were abruptly cancelled by the insurance company and I tried to get them unsuccessfully reinstated on my own, I knew I needed an attorney. While in my former career I had a lot of experience working with various types of attorneys, I never had experience in the disability arena nor had anyone I personally knew. I researched on my own and am glad I picked McKennon Law Group PC. There are a lot of disability insurance attorneys out there that advertise. However, often they will hand your case off to a junior person after they sign you up, and I did not want that. Robert McKennon and Joseph McMillen were directly leading my case, knowledgeable, prompt and on top of things. I don’t think the insurance company would have come around and reinstated my benefits without them. Being disabled is a life altering event; don’t leave your future and well-being in the hands of amateurs. Hire McKennon Law Group PC. – Allison M.

If you need help with your insurance claim, especially your disability insurance claim, you should hire the McKennon Law Group PC. I suffered from back, neck and shoulder pain that was so severe, I stopped working. After initially approving my long-term disability claim, my insurer abruptly stopped paying my benefits and upheld that decision on appeal. I hired the McKennon Law Group PC, who immediately sued in the insurance company in Federal Court. Shortly thereafter, the firm convinced the insurance company to pay, not only 100% of my benefits, but also my attorneys fees’ and costs. There is no way I could have achieved such a quick and positive result without hiring the McKennon Law Group PC! Their ability to get insurers to pay claims is unmatched. – Sue W.

When I started researching law firms specializing in ERISA disability insurance claims, I came to the realization that not all are as good as advertised. Based on the results the McKennon Law Group PC achieved for me, I am very happy I chose them to represent me in my long term disability case.After initially approving my claim, Liberty Mutual stopped paying my long-term disability claim, asserting that I was capable of returning to work fulltime. In denying my claim, the company ignored the medical records, and instead greatly exaggerated the results of surveillance taken without my knowledge. In basing the decision mostly on the surveillance video, Liberty Mutual failed to account for the pain I experienced after I was recorded sitting in a coffee shop for an hour. The company also failed to properly consider my actual job duties.The appeal letter prepared by the McKennon Law Group PC was very strong and thorough, not only highlighting the supporting evidence in my medical records, but also providing many case citations explaining why the claim decision violated ERISA law. Ultimately, the appeal was successful, and the McKennon Law Group PC was able to get my disability claim reinstated so that Liberty Mutual paid me all past-due benefits and will pay me all future disability benefits.The attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC were not only courteous and knowledgeable, but kept me informed at every step of the way. If your long-term disability insurance claim is denied, I strongly recommend that you hire the McKennon Law Group PC to represent you if you are looking for professionalism, experience and dedication to results. – Galina S.

After my long-term disability insurance claim was denied by one of the nation’s largest insurance carriers, I felt certain that my policy was terminated wrongfully and started to search for a law firm who specialized in disability insurance. Eventually, I was put in touch with the McKennon Law Group PC in Newport Beach. At that point I was extremely discouraged as my deadline to appeal was quickly approaching. Fortunately, the McKennon Law Group PC acted quickly to obtain my file and prepare a very detailed appeal. Unfortunately, the insurer denied my ERISA appeal, and we were forced into litigation. Throughout the process, I found the attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC to be extremely professional and responsive to my phone calls and emails.I learned that not only did Robert McKennon, Scott Calvert the rest of the firm have great experience dealing with ERISA disability claims, but that they have litigated against all of the major insurance companies and their usual counsel. So when it came time to make a decision on how to proceed, the McKennon Law Group PC already had precedent to refer back to, reassured me that things happening were “just part of the process” and that they knew exactly how to proceed. In the end, the McKennon Law Group PC was able to secure a significant settlement that allowed me to obtain almost 100% of the benefits I was owed. Filing a claim can be an arduous process where many times you feel more than defeated by the way you are treated by these big insurance companies. I am happy to say that the McKennon Law Group PC defended me when my LTD claim was wrongfully terminated and was able to help bring some financial security to my family as a result. – Jacob V.

The McKennon Law Group PC is one of the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic law groups I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I enlisted them to represent me in my disability benefits case against one of the largest and recognizable insurance companies in the United States. This insurer had totally disregarded the facts of my health and severity of my physical limitations, and wrongfully terminated my LTD benefits in hopes that I would not pursue a legal remedy. They miscalculated and they were wrong.Through the McKennon Law Group PC’s tireless, informed efforts in ERISA law disability insurance cases, and familiarity with the practices of this particular insurer, we prevailed successfully by reinstating my disability benefits back to the termination date, and reimbursement of 29 months of benefit payments. And to make the outcome even sweeter, the insurer also had to pay my attorneys’ fees! To conclude, I have the utmost confidence, respect, and gratitude for Robert and his team! – Thomas R.

Prior to retaining the McKennon Law Group PC to represent me in my fight for long-term disability benefits, I researched several law firms who offered similar services. As a former analyst in the defense sector, I was trained to take the steps necessary to ensure that I made the best decision regarding my legal representation. That process led me to the McKennon Law Group PC. The McKennon Law Group PC’s strong stance with the insurance carrier made them realize they didn’t have a chance if the case went to court. After refusing to pay my LTD claim for over a year, the insurance company (a Goliath in the industry) overturned its benefits decision in my favor after receiving appeal letters prepared by the McKennon Law Group PC. Overall, my LTD benefits were reinstated, all of my past-due disability benefits were paid, my monthly benefits payments are being paid and my life insurance coverage was reinstated. I’m glad I made the right decision to select the McKennon Law Group PC to represent me with my long-term disability benefits claim. I would highly recommend this law group since they are a true “team of attorneys” who have a thorough knowledge of the law. If you find yourself in a predicament that’s beyond your control, the McKennon Law Group PC will go the extra mile to fight for your legal rights. – Alan L.

After 35 years of ultra-high performance in a very competitive industry, my doctor told me that I was a walking heart attack or stroke waiting to happen. If I didn’t go on disability one or the other was sure to get me. The documentation of my medical team was so strong that State Disability and Social Security Disability Insurance were each approved on the initial application without question. The long-term disability insurance carrier, though, refused to consider the documentation of my medical team and simply denied my application, leaving me to feel like some kind of deadbeat. Then a really good lawyer that I know referred me to the McKennon Law Group PC and everything changed for the better. Robert McKennon and his staff developed a winning strategy for obtaining the long-term disability benefits I deserved. They helped guide me through what could have been a far more intimidating, stressful and frightening experience by providing detailed explanations of each step in the process. Their exceptional expertise led to a quick resolution to my case. I would like to tell you exactly how successful they were in winning a tremendously positive settlement for me, but alas the agreement won’t allow me to do that (the insurance company calls it “Non-Disclosure,” but I think it really is “Please Don’t Embarrass Us”). My gratitude goes to Robert McKennon and the McKennon Law Group PC. Although I hope that I never need your services again, you can be sure that any of my family, friends, or acquaintances who need help will get my sincere and strong recommendation to contact the McKennon Law Group PC! – Kent V.

I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC to help you if your disability insurer has wrongfully denied your claim for disability benefits. After suffering from debilitating chronic low back pain for a number of years, I was forced to stop working after experiencing an exacerbation of my back pain and intense arm, elbow and shoulder pain from regular cane usage. My disability insurer denied my claim for disability benefits claiming I was capable of performing the duties of my job in the usual and customary way. Not only did my insurer ignore the medical evidence of my disability provided by my treating doctors, but they also misconstrued and exaggerated surveillance footage taken of me and they attached my character in an effort to discredit me. McKennon Law Group PC filed a lawsuit against my disability insurer alleging bad faith and breach of contract, and was able to reach an early settlement of my case for an extremely satisfactory six-figure amount. I sincerely believe McKennon Law Group PC provides the best representation in the industry. – Robert K.

As many of the other testimonials stated, I too was in a condition with debilitating back pain that kept me from working. I also had major stomach disorders that in and of themselves were enough to keep me out of work. Of course, over time these conditions lead to another major problem, depression. My insurance company standing was…. Short term pay … No problem. Long term pay … Major problem. Suddenly, the symptoms that kept me out of work and that qualified me for short term disability did not qualify me for long term disability. I saw an ad online posted by McKennon Law Group PC so I decided to give them a call. Right away I received a call from Bob McKennon himself who after taking much time to listen to me, told me that he thought that I had a strong ERISA case. I received an extremely fair settlement by putting back on claim, paying money owed to me, paying me into the future and paying all of my attorney’s fees so I could keep 100% of my benefits! All as the result of McKennon Law Group PC’s excellent work. McKennon Law Group PC was all over the insurer when they would not do something in an agreed time frame from the initial paper work to even the final check. They stayed on them and worked it all out to again, a very fair settlement. I would not have been able to achieve all of this on my own. I believe the insurance companies try to beat a person down to a point where the person gets an “I give up” attitude and does. That was almost me. After going through all of this, my advice would be to give McKennon Law Group PC a call right now. Even if you give up on yourself, call McKennon Law Group PC. I thank God every day that I did. – Paul W.

I am a doctor, but was unable to continue to working full time due a variety of ailments. Luckily, I had a Unum long-term disability policy to help replace the income I was losing each month because I was only able to work a limited number of hours. Or that’s what I thought until Unum denied my claim. Thankfully, I hired the Bob McKennon and the McKennon Law Group PC to help me challenge the decision to deny my disability claim. Once Unum realized that I had the McKennon Law Group PC on my side, they almost immediately changed the claim decision and approved my long-term disability claim. Then, when Unum attempted to underpay me, the McKennon Law Group PC again stepped in to get the matter resolved quickly, and in my favor, allowing me to be paid a higher amount of disability benefits. The attorneys of the McKennon Law Group PC worked hard for me. If your disability insurance claim is denied, and if you are looking for top-notch disability benefits lawyers, I wholeheartedly recommend them. – Tracy K.

I could not have recovered the disability benefits I was entitled to without the help of McKennon Law Group PC. After I became totally disabled due to osteoarthritis in my knees, my disability insurer approved my claim for short- term disability benefits. However, after I filed a claim under my long- term disability policy, my insurer denied my claim. I hired McKennon Law Group PC to handle the denial of my claim through an ERISA appeal. McKennon Law Group PC submitted an excellent appeal letter with my insurer and my insurer overturned the denial. Later, after the “own occupation” in my policy, my insurer denied my claim again stating that I was able to perform “any occupation.” Not only did my insurer ignore the opinion of one of its own reviewing physicians who determined I was totally disabled, it misconstrued and exaggerated surveillance footage it took of me. McKennon Law Group PC filed suit against my insurer and was able to get my insurer to settle my claim for a large lump sum payment that exceeded my expectations. Everyone at McKennon Law Group PC was extremely helpful and professional. I could not have obtained these great results without them. I recommend McKennon Law Group PC to anyone who has been unfairly denied their long-term or short-term disability insurance benefits. They are the best and I have already recommended them to others. – Dennis C.

After developing debilitating back pain, I was unable to continue to work. While my employer provided me with short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, my claims for those benefits were denied. The McKennon Law Group PC not only helped me with my appeal, but also filed two different lawsuits so I could receive the disability benefits I was rightfully due. In both cases, the insurance companies agreed to a very good settlements shortly after the filing of the lawsuit. The settlements allowed me to put these fights behind me. Robert McKennon, Scott Calvert and the rest of the McKennon Law Group PC worked quickly and diligently, and I am grateful for their superb work. – Robert H.

I was forced to stop working due to chronic cluster headaches and chronic fatigue that left me incapable of performing basic tasks of daily living and my job. My long-term disability insurer denied my disability insurance claim after ignoring the severity of conditions by attempting to classify them as migraine headaches and ignoring how my conditions affected my ability to work. Even though my doctors agreed that I was unable to work, my insurer did not believe my subjective complaints and demanded medical proof that I was experiencing extreme pain and fatigue. McKennon Law Group PC filed my ERISA disability lawsuit in Federal Court and they were able to very quickly secure a settlement of my case that paid all of my denied disability benefits and also covered their attorney’s fees. They did an excellent job and without their diligence and their strong reputation as experienced and aggressive attorneys, I wouldn’t have been able to recover my badly needed disability benefits. – Melanie R.

I would like to say thank you to Robert McKennon and Joe McMillen for the wonderful way they handled my life insurance claim. After many attempts to get the life insurer that my husband had through his employer to pay after he passed away, we were denied multiple times. Bob and Joe did not give up. They were so kind, compassionate and considerate of my feelings going through this whole process. They were able to settle the lawsuit without me actually having to go to trial, and the case settled for the full policy benefit and all outstanding interest and attorneys’ fees, which was even more than if I had prevailed on every single issue at trial. Without their great work and kindness, my family and I would not have known what to do at this very difficult time. Insurers should do the right thing in the first place but at least McKennon Law Group PC understands what you’re going through. I couldn’t have done this without them. – Robin B.

I searched far and wide for a law firm that specialized in handling disability benefit claims in the LA area. Many of the firms I encountered seemed gimmicky and unprofessional. When I found McKennon Law Group PC I knew I was onto something good but it wasn’t until they achieved an excellent and unpredictable result in my case that I concluded they are in fact the best in this field.I was unfairly denied Long-Term Disability benefits by my insurer who hired various medical “experts” to do a paper review of my file and arbitrarily say that I was no longer disabled. Even after one of their paid experts seemed to actually substantiate my claim, they followed through with their denial and cut off my benefits. Luckily, I had hired Bob and Scott in anticipation of the denial and they were ready to go with guns blazing to get my benefits reinstated.They referred me to an expert that really helped my case and worked diligently appealing my denial expecting that we would likely go into litigation in order to reverse the decision. Much to my surprise, my insurer actually reversed the decision on appeal and my benefits were reinstated without having to engage in litigation. This was a great result and even though I know this battle is probably not over, I can rest assured knowing that McKennon Law Group PC is on my side and will work hard to protect my benefits in the future. – A.B.

I am writing to commend and to express my gratitude to the McKennon Law Group PC and in particular to attorneys Robert McKennon and David Rankin. Bob shows great compassion as well as promoting a comfortable relationship with his clients. He imparts this because of his skill and his great abilities in which he exudes justifiable confidence. More than that, he and his staff provide a welcoming atmosphere in which he listens well to the issues, analyzes them and explains them thoroughly. He left me with a sense of confidence and comfort and a realistic expectation of what could occur.Getting your disability claim is clearly an adversarial situation which requires patience and guidance. Bob McKennon provides both and frankly allowed me to sleep well at night. It’s hard not to form a friendship relationship with Bob. David as well provided reassurance when it was needed. Both are accessible.Of course the real issue here is getting your claim approved. It requires understanding the process, having to play advantageously by the rules; knowing the big picture, knowing when to move when not to move, when to be patient and when to apply pressure. Bob McKennon is a master of his craft and I believe that he can achieve the best results. Bob is also fair. I feel satisfied and well taken care of. Frankly not the feeling you always get in a lawyers office, but you do here.Again, I highly recommend Robert McKennon and the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone considering challenging a disability claim denial. You’ll be treated fairly and have the benefit of watching these true professionals at their trade. – Dr. R.W.

McKennon Law Group PC was extremely helpful with my disability insurance claim against a disability insurer that refused to honor its insurance contract and pay my disability benefits. I had the pleasure of working with Robert McKennon and Scott Calvert. These are attorneys who not only are extremely knowledgeable in ERISA disability insurance cases, but they truly care for their clients. Every email and every phone call was answered with a full explanation to my questions and concerns. I was kept informed through the complete process. Eventually, we went to trial and the McKennon Law Group PC convinced the judge to award me the disability benefits I was seeking. In addition, they negotiated an award for all of their attorneys’ fees and costs, so I was able to keep 100% of the benefits I was owed. If you are looking for attorneys to help you through a complicated insurance case, I couldn’t give them a better recommendation given the service and kindness I received. – A.T.

I suffered a permanent spine injury due to a work related accident. My group long-term disability insurer originally denied my application for disability benefits even though there was overwhelming medical evidence and over five surgical procedures including epidurals since the accident. I attempted to appeal without legal counsel because my neurosurgeon and workers’ compensation doctors wrote letters explaining my permanent injuries, and I thought the proof was undeniable. However, to my great distress, the long-term disability insurer denied my appeal. I met Robert McKennon when I asked a legal advice question on the AVVO website. Multiple attorneys wrote back and offered the advice to simply consult an attorney. Mr. McKennon was the only attorney that took the time to write back a serious response to my question. I then called Mr. McKennon and scheduled an appointment to discuss my case. The initial attorney to take my call was kind and sympathetic to my situation and immediately set up an in office meeting. I met with Mr. McKennon and I was impressed. He then assigned the case to Joe McMillen and I was very fortunate to have such an excellent attorney like Joe handling my case. He, along with Mr. McKennon, worked tirelessly and aggressively to get me the best possible outcome. McKennon Law Group PC displayed extreme patience and kindness with me during this very stressful time. My long-term disability insurer initially offered a very low figure to settle. We felt it would be best to reject the low offer and go to trial. That was the right thing to do as we were successful in court and the judge also awarded me my legal fees. After losing in court, the long-term disability insurer finally made a “policy buy-out” proposal that was considerably greater than their initial offer, well over a half-million dollars. This could not have happened without Joe McMillen and Robert McKennon. I highly recommend this team to any person who has a difficult ERISA/long-term disability insurance case. Thank you Joe and Robert for being advocates for justice. Sincerely, J.A.

After two appeals that included letters from my minor daughter’s doctors, my health insurance company refused to pay for the medical care she desperately needed. After I was forced to pay for the expensive care out of my own pocket, I hired the McKennon Law Group PC to help me recoup that money. Robert McKennon and Scott Calvert did great work and kept me up-to-date every step of the way. Eventually the case went to trial, and the judge ruled in my favor indicating the insurance company’s previous decision that my daughter’s care was not “medically necessary”, was wrong. I was awarded all of the money I paid for the care, plus interest, plus attorneys’ fees! It was a total victory and a great result that I could never have accomplished without their expertise and dedication to top quality work. I highly recommend that you hire the McKennon Law Group PC if you find yourself in a dispute with your insurance company. Thank you Robert and Scott! – E.T.

I highly recommend hiring McKennon Law Group PC if you are having trouble getting any type of insurance benefits, especially long-term disability benefits, from your insurance company. After injuring my back, I suffered from severe chronic back pain that prevented me from being able to work. Even though my medical records showed I was in severe pain and my doctors agreed that I was unable to work, my insurance company claimed that I wasn’t disabled because I didn’t have enough evidence to prove I was in as much pain as I claimed I was. McKennon Law Group PC was able to convince my insurance company to pay me my insurance benefits without even having to file a lawsuit. Bob, Scott and David were always available when I needed to speak with them, and they always took the time to make sure I understood what was happening. McKennon Law Group PC is the best at what they do and I wouldn’t have been able to recover my insurance benefits without them. – H.G.

Robert McKennon recently resolved a dispute we had with an insurance company regarding long-term disability insurance coverage. I met Bob through a search of experts in the area of disability insurance and after talking with him knew we had the right attorney. In short, my wife had been receiving long-term disability insurance payments for almost thirty years, and the relationship with her insurance company was quite hostile at times. In the Fall of 2015, the company notified my wife that she no longer qualified for disability insurance benefits because her increase in her teacher salary set her over the threshold to receive benefits. This position we did not believe was supported by the policy. Although I am a corporate finance attorney and we wanted to punish the insurance company for its outlandish position, Bob brought a dispassionate view to us, explained that under the law with our type of claim, punitive damages were not available, and resolved the matter by reaching a reasonable settlement with the company without litigation, which obviated any further need to deal with the company. – A.P.

I am so grateful for the great work Robert McKennon and Scott Calvert of the McKennon Law Group PC performed on my behalf. After my father died, Prudential Life Insurance Company of America refused to pay me the life insurance proceeds that I was owed. Before he died, my father received a confusing premium notice for two different policies. Even though he paid the life insurance premium, Prudential lapsed his life insurance policy because he did not pay for the other coverage that he did not want or need. Then, after my father died, Prudential refused to pay me the life insurance benefits I believed I was owed. The McKennon Law Group PC was able to convince Prudential to pay me the life insurance benefits. I could never have accomplished that on my own. I would give McKennon Law Group PC my highest recommendation. – L.P.

I cannot recommend McKennon Law Group PC, Robert McKennon and his associate, Joe McMillen, highly enough. At age 58 after over 20 years on disability my disability insurance company arbitrarily determined I was no longer disabled – denying my waiver of premium benefits in my life insurance policy based on my long-term disability. This was after a periodic update which clearly showed that my condition was the same or worse than in the past. I was not willing to accept this. I spent nearly a year providing additional input to them proving they were incorrect. I appealed and even filed with two different state insurance agencies. No matter what I did, the insurer would not change its opinion. Out of options, I met with Robert. He explained to me what could be done and how we could proceed. Turning this matter over to Robert and Joe gave me great peace of mind. Unlike other attorneys I have dealt with they were immediately “on the case.” McKennon Law Group PC put together my complaint and it was filed in Federal Court. Within a month of filing I received word that the matter was settled in my favor – the insurer decided to reverse its denial decision, fully pay my claim and pay 100% of my attorney’s fees incurred by the McKennon Law Group PC. This could not have been a better result. I am reminded of a wisdom story where there are three kinds of people – some have a job, some have a career, and just a few are on a mission. I put Robert and Joe of the McKennon Law Group PC in this third category – they are the ones you want on your side. – J.M.

After suffering multiple severe injuries at work which required 12 surgeries, I was finally forced onto disability and upcoming retirement. My employer was great, but because of all of the surgeries, I had run out of workers compensation and my own sick time. I then had to rely on a long term disability insurance plan that I had been paying for decades. From the outset, I was told everything would be okay by my long-term disability insurer. This was a total lie, they never intended to pay me because they knew I was going to be retired. Fed up, I contacted the McKennon Law Group PC and within a few weeks, I was receiving the disability insurance benefits I had paid for. After several more months, Bob and Joe secured a settlement in my case. Bob and Joe did a great job and without them, I would probably have received nothing. – M.Z.

I knew going in that my case was a long shot. I suffered from major depressive disorder, and my insurance policy limited benefits for depression to two years. I contacted the McKennon Law Group PC to confirm what I already feared, but Bob McKennon asked me to send my medical records so he could see the specifics of my condition. After reviewing over 300 pages of medical documentation, Bob found a component of my illness that had not been considered—one that he felt changed my case. The attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC worked with me every step of the way, communicating clearly what they needed from me and my doctors. They were organized and tenacious, and not a detail was overlooked. After the complaint was filed, the insurance company quickly reached out about a settlement. I was in complete disbelief and could not be more pleased with the final settlement. I owe the firm a debt of gratitude for getting me the benefits I deserved. Everyone was helpful and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to my closest friends and family should they ever have the need. – A.Z.

Despite my doctors stating that I was unable to work at my physically demanding job due to high blood pressure and other conditions, my insurance company denied my claim for long-term disability insurance benefits. While I understood that I had a difficult case, the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC fought for me every step of the way and eventually I was able to reach a settlement with the insurance company that I was happy about. I am very grateful to Bob and the rest of the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC for always believing in me and never giving up. Their service and their expertise was incredible. If you need attorneys to help you fight for your disability insurance or other insurance claim benefits, I strongly recommend that you hire the McKennon Law Group PC. – B.L.

I was injured on my job and the same insurer handles my company’s short-term disability insurance plan and long-term disability insurance plan. I had a short fight with the insurer for my short-term disability, but the insurer denied my long-term disability insurance claim. Considering my Workers’ Compensation claim had been accepted, I could not understand why my long-term disability insurance claim had been denied. I was extremely stressed about this and eventually found McKennon Law Group PC and spoke with an attorney. McKennon Law Group PC took my case and within a short time, filed a suit in Federal Court. A few months later, a mediation had been scheduled. A few days before the mediation, I spoke with an attorney, who clearly explained the procedures of the mediation and what McKennon Law Group PC had planned for me. Although we did not settle at the mediation, a few weeks later I did receive a substantial settlement offer that included paying my claim in full including my past-due benefits owed, paying my attorney’s fees, and putting me back on claim. I am now receiving my disability insurance benefits on a monthly basis. I am extremely pleased with the way my case was handled. I would recommend McKennon Law Group PC to anyone who needs to assistance with long-term disability. I am more than pleased with the services I received from Iris, Scott and Bob at McKennon Law Group PC! – S.M.

After becoming disabled, I applied for long-term disability insurance benefits through my employer’s disability insurance carrier. The insurer denied my claim, explaining that it obtained surveillance footage which discredited my reported symptoms and claim. I demanded to see this evidence, and saw that the surveillance footage showed little other than my ability to speak with a neighbor for a few minutes, ride a bike, wipe water spots off my car and perform some minor yard work. It did not take a medical degree to instantly see that these brief activities did not contradict my mental or physical limitations. I appealed the denial, and the insurer again denied my claim. Shortly after, a friend highly recommended McKennon Law Group PC to handle my ERISA long-term disability insurance claim. McKennon Law Group PC filed suit against the insurer and within six months, convinced the insurer to settle my case with a substantial offer to buy out my long-term disability insurance policy. I am very grateful for my friend’s recommendation as McKennon Law Group PC very ably and professionally handled my case. Because they have represented both insurers and now policyholders like me, their experience and knowledge of disability insurance claims is unsurpassed and their contacts with insurers and their lawyers are very valuable to disability insurance claimants like me. I would highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC to anyone needing legal assistance to aggressively fight against their insurance company. – G.S.

Words cannot adequately express how grateful I am to you and for all your hard work, knowledge and professionalism this past year. Bob and the rest of the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC are so very good at what they do! This has probably been the most difficult year of my life. Thanks to you, however, things are getting brighter each day. Bob, I can only hope that there are more people in the world that care as much for their clients well-being as you and your staff do. Should I ever find anyone in need of your services, I will not hesitate to refer them to you. I will forever be indebted to you. – T.H.

A devastating car accident left me with severe back pain, leg and muscle spasms to the point where I was unable to work or live my life like I was able to do before the accident. I applied for short-term and long-term disability insurance benefits. My insurance carrier paid short-term disability benefits for about six months, then terminated my claim and refused to pay long-term disability insurance benefits. Initially, I retained an attorney, but he did not have the time or resources to devote to my case. I was directed to the McKennon Law Group PC. Upon contacting them, it was clear that they had significant experience dealing with ERISA insurance cases such as mine, and had formerly represented some of the largest disability insurance companies in the U.S. I very much valued their experience and approach to litigating my case. McKennon Law Group PC worked closely with me to develop my case and provided regular updates so I always understood what the next step was during the appeal and litigation. Eventually, McKennon Law Group PC convinced the insurer to pay back all my past-due benefits I was owed and to fully reinstate my claim, thus paying me all that I was owed plus interest and my attorneys’ fees. Because McKennon Law Group PC accepted the attorneys’ fees the insurer paid as its compensation, I received and I am still receiving 100% of my disability insurance benefits! This is a true David versus Goliath victory and this could not have been accomplished without the amazing work and diligence of Mr. McKennon and his excellent attorneys. I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone seeking benefits from their disability insurance carrier. – J.H.

Before retaining McKennon Law Group PC to help with my disability claim, I tried to deal with my insurance company on my own for over a year. During this time, the insurance company’s representatives treated me very poorly, with no respect whatsoever. In fact, the representatives did not respond to my inquiries, and blatantly misled me about my eligibility and benefits under my policy. Despite my best efforts to provide the insurance company with all the information they requested, my claim was denied. The representatives at the insurance company told me that it was unfortunate for me but there was nothing I could do about it. This was also untrue, and I found McKennon Law Group PC to handle my case. The attorneys reviewed my case and determined I was eligible for benefits, and should have been receiving benefits for the last two-plus years. Without McKennon Law Group PC, the insurance company would have gotten away with treating me as if I didn’t matter and letting me believe I was not eligible for benefits. McKennon Law Group PC made the insurance company take responsibility, pay me the benefits I deserved and admit that I Did Matter. Recovering on my claim helped alleviate the financial burden I incurred during the time the insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Thank you so much McKennon Law Group PC for fighting for me and treating me with respect. – V.F.

I have spoken to several other attorneys before I had a chance to speak with Bob. After a minute or two I quickly realized that Bob was head and shoulders above everyone else I have already talked to. His experience and professionalism as well as his attitude and overall approach to my case made him the oblivious choice for my representation. For about a year and a half he worked methodically on my case. He communicated openly and extensively at all times. I knew exactly what we were trying to achieve, where we were in the process and how good were our chances to prevail. More importantly – Bob always made it clear that this is my case and it is all about my situation and my future. He always put my interests first and the level of trust we had throughout the entire time was nothing short of remarkable. Together we were able to negotiate what I definitely consider the best settlement I could’ve ever had. I would whole heartedly recommend Bob and his firm to anyone who is looking for a legal representation. – N.E.

Before finding the McKennon Law Group PC, I consulted with at least two other ERISA firms, but the attorneys declined my case, stating recovery would be very difficult or impossible. I called the McKennon Law Group PC where I immediately spoke with an experienced attorney and scheduled a consultation for that same week. During my consultation, Bob spent considerable time evaluating my case, clearly explaining the strengths and weaknesses to me and his strategy for approaching my case. Throughout the process, Bob and his associates were always accessible by telephone or email and provided regular updates regarding my case. Bob’s prior work representing insurance companies gave significant teeth to my case, because he has close relationships with in-house attorneys at the insurance company involved (and other companies), and a clear understanding of the insurance industry. The end result speaks for itself: Bob and his team obtained a six-figure settlement of my case—a case which other attorneys deemed too difficult to bother with. I cannot thank them enough. I recommend the McKennon Law Group PC to anyone who has a denied insurance claim, especially a disability insurance claim like mine. I give them my highest recommendation as they are the best in the industry. – M.P.

In the spring of 2012, my wife of 19 years fell ill and on July 22 of that year, at the age of 43, she succumbed to that illness and passed away. To add insult to injury, I discovered that before her passing, our life insurance had been cancelled just a week earlier. During our marriage, she had always taken care of the household bills, including our life insurance. It turns out, that because of her illness, she was unable to keep up with her duties and I was not aware. I tried contacting the insurance company to explain what had happened and they would have none of it. I was in no position to just “let it go”, so I contacted a lawyer, then another. I was told there was nothing they could do as the policy lapsed due to non-payment. Case closed. Well, not exactly. One of those attorneys highly recommended the McKennon Law Group PC. I spoke to Robert McKennon over the phone and right away, I felt like maybe there was hope as he developed a theory of recovery that the others did not think about. And so we proceeded. I had very little information I could share and even less actual paperwork, as my wife handled everything. After some time had passed, we finally had a mediation scheduled. Try as we might to reach some type of agreement, the defendants appeared not to be interested. Robert told me not to worry, that he had seen this tactic before and he still remained confident. Over the next few months, as depositions were about to occur, defendants approached us to settle the case. Robert and his team expertly and deftly handled the negotiations. Two other law firms turned down a “no win” case and all of a sudden, here I was with a settlement that would not only help me financially, but also help me close a very painful chapter of my life. We actually received a settlement that I was more than comfortable with. My sincerest thanks to Robert McKennon, Scott Calvert, Joe McMillen and the entire law firm for helping me through this difficult time. – S.M.

I purchased a disability policy and life insurance company from Union Central Life Insurance Company. However, based on bad advice that I received from Union Central’s insurance agent, Union Central tried to rescind both the disability policy and life insurance policy when I became disabled. However, after Bob, Scott and the rest of the team aggressively pursued my case, not only did Union Central decide not to rescind my life insurance policy, but we reached a favorable resolution of my long-term disability insurance claim. I am very grateful for the work that the McKennon Law Group PC performed on my behalf and would not hesitate to recommend the firm to my family and friends. – J.I.

Dear Bob: I would like to thank you and your team for the hard work you put into my case even though it was a difficult one. I only wish I had found you earlier. In spite of the challenges with my case, you were able to end what has been a very stressful and difficult challenge in our family by helping us settle the case. Your tenacity and patience with me is appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to thoroughly explain my case to me and assisting me with my settlement, allowing me to move on with my life.For any potential clients, you really cannot go wrong with Bob Mckennon. He is truly one of the best in his field. What I love best about working with him is that he was very calm but firm in his appraisal of my case and above all he is a real Christian man. Thank you again Bob. Our family has finally put Metlife behind us. – Dr. J.O.

I do not know what I would have done had I not found Robert McKennon and the McKennon Law Group PC. Large insurance companies are like bullies, and make it so difficult to work with them. Robert and his staff worked hard for me during my fight for benefits. With their great work, I was able to collect 100% of my disability insurance benefits after my insurer denied my claim. They always kept me apprised of the status of my case and were always available to answer my questions. I am so glad I found the McKennon Law Group PC and would definitely recommend their services to others. – K.R.

I cannot thank you and your staff enough for bringing such a very stressful time for me and my family to a positive conclusion. I can only hope that there are more people in the world that care as much for their clients’ well-being as you do. Your staff was knowledgeable, courteous and extremely patient as I tried to convey information you required while struggling to speak, let alone speaking clearly, as stress exacerbates my symptoms. Should I ever find anyone in need of your services, I will not hesitate to refer them to you. Thank you once again. – L.V.

I have had the pleasure of being represented by Robert McKennon, as well as to work with him as an expert consultant on a large insurance matter. Bob and his associate Scott Calvert are very thorough, competent and intelligent attorneys who do an excellent job for their clients. Their organization and presentation of evidence is excellent, as are their deposition taking skills. I would not hesitate to recommend them. – S.R.

Dear Bob and Company: On behalf of my family, thank you again and again in your expert mediation in settling my mom’s long-term disability insurance dispute. Your assistance and knowledge of the insurance policies help us settle the case that other attorneys would not take on contingency.You’ve literally elevated the financial stress and burden from my hardworking mom’s and our shoulders.We wanted to thank you so much for your help. We are truly grateful for all that you did. You did a great job and we wanted you to know that. Sincerely, – G.K. and Family

Bob, thank you so much for taking my case. I know it was a difficult and challenging one to handle. I can say with certainty, the result you were able to achieve for me changed my life and for that I am so grateful. I would not hesitate one bit to recommend you to anyone involved in a dispute with their carrier. – D.B.

I want to thank McKennon Law Group PC for their excellent legal representation. Things changed quickly once Aetna received word that I hired your law firm to take over my disability claim. Words can’t express how much I appreciate your assistance. To express my thanks to McKennon Law Group PC I thought of the biggest animal in the jungle. I would like to thank you elephant big! Sincerely, – G.K.

I would like to thank Bob McKennon and the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC for helping me fight my insurance company and getting my benefits paid. Despite denial after denial, they got the job done. I would also like to thank Scott Calvert for his excellent communication with me at all times. – M.C.

I am so grateful to Bob McKennon and the attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC for helping me secure long-term disability benefits from my insurer, The Guardian Life Insurance Company. Guardian denied my claim without even evaluating my medical documents, but Bob and his team were able to show Guardian why that decision was incorrect and improper, and convinced Guardian to fully pay my benefits. They were always there for me and provided superb service to me at all times. If you want the best law firm available to stand up to your insurance company, I give McKennon Law Group PC my highest recommendation. – J.I.

The services provided by the McKennon Law Group PC were outstanding. The firm truly cares about their clients and have their best interests at heart. I will proudly recommend your firm to my friends. – F.O.

As a client and a practicing attorney, I have only positive remarks for the McKennon Law Group PC. They are very professional, knowledgeable and aggressive attorneys who clearly put the best interests of their clients first and foremost. I highly recommend McKennon Law Group PC!!! – J.E.

As in-house counsel, it is important for me to have the confidence that I can rely on the McKennon Law Group PC for my litigation needs. They have been extremely successful in not just successfully litigating cases on our behalf but also avoiding litigation whenever possible. I only use the McKennon Law Group PC for my outside counsel litigation needs. – C.E.

I want to thank Bob, Scott and the other attorneys at the McKennon Law Group PC for excellent work getting me my disability benefits from The Standard Life Insurance Company. They did a great job of helping me understand the process and kept me informed every step of the way. I could not have been happier with the results the McKennon Law Group PC obtained for me. If you need an attorney to help you fight your insurance company, their experience (including their former work for insurance companies), expertise, and aggressive advocacy makes this firm the best in the business. – B.H.

I was more than fortunate to have found the McKennon Law Group PC. I desperately did not want to go to court and they settled my case above and beyond my expectations. I did not think that it was possible. The insurance company had already worn me down and I was about to give up. At a time when I was helpless, they developed a plan of action and navigated me through a difficult process. I can’t imagine working with another team of attorneys or their staff. They are professional, emphatic, disarming, determined and unrivaled in their profession. This was proven to me as they anticipated the strategies they needed to take because of their extensive experience and maneuvered the case to a positive outcome. Thank you for all that you did you for me, both financially and personally. It was an emotional process. The combination of the level of sensitivity and professionalism that was shown to me will not be forgotten. I am happy to have put that time of my life in the past and I am grateful to them for their efforts. I would recommend them to anyone who needs to go up against an insurance company with brilliant, astute lawyers on their side. – J.T.

I had been handling my long term disability insurance claim with Aetna Life Insurance Company for two years on my own. However, after two years of paying my benefits, Aetna denied my claim. I was crushed. After I tried to submit requested information, Aetna still refused to reinstate my claim. I had to fight them. I contacted several attorneys, secured their fee schedules and documentation on cases they had been involved with and won. The McKennon Law Group PC was overall the best in my opinion in all categories. Bob often followed up with me before I made my final decision as to which firm to hire, but he did not pressure me. I even asked him at one point if I was running out of time to file. He could have said yes, as I would have never known the truth, but he was honest with me and said, “No you’re fine. Take your time and choose who you think is best.”I ultimately chose McKennon Law Group PC. It was a great choice. They filed my case and before trial and a mediation, Aetna decided to pay my claim in full by paying all back benefits due and are continuing to pay me now!Needless to say I would recommend Bob McKennon and the McKennon Law Group PC law firm and staff to anyone who has had their insurance claim unjustly denied by one of the major insurers. In my opinion, your case can be considered won by Mr. McKennon and his staff. – K.H.

Bob, I cannot thank you and your staff enough for bringing such a very stressful time (regarding the denial of my MetLife disability claim) for me and my family to a positive conclusion: full payment of my disability benefits! I can only hope that there are more people in the world that care as much for their client’s well-being as you do. Your staff was knowledgeable, courteous and extremely patient. Should I ever find anyone in need of your services, I will not hesitate to refer them to you. Thank you once again. – M.G.

We didn’t think there would be light at the end of the tunnel. But with your dedication and hard work, you have created a rainbow. You are like David slinging his stone at Goliath proving that the little guy can indeed go up against a big insurance company. A simple “Thank You” just doesn’t seem enough for heartfelt gratitude we feel for you helping us to get to a much better place. Your professionalism and dedication to your clients is something that is rare in this day in age. Your staff was a constant help providing information and updates on our case. Thank you very much!!! – The J Family

I cannot thank you and your staff enough for bringing such a very stressful time for me and my family to a positive conclusion. I can only hope that there are more people in the world that care as much for their client’s well-being as you do. Your staff was knowledgeable, courteous and extremely patient as I tried to convey information you required while struggling to speak, let alone speak clearly, as stress exacerbates my symptoms. I was treated not only as a client but as a friend. I would and will recommend you and your firm in the future, and again I would like to thank you for all you have done for me. – L.V.

While representing us, Bob and his staff worked with me and my family in the most professional and caring way. I am an attorney myself and have worked with Bob in the past but when I needed a lawyer, I did not give it a second thought when deciding who would be the best person to handle our case against Allstate. And I was right. Bob and his staff are thorough and professional and make the process easy. With their knowledge and experience they obtained a great result for us. I have and will continue to highly recommend Bob and his firm to anyone who needs legal representation especially in the matters dealing with insurance coverage. Bob, thank you very much from all of us for a great job. – S.M. and the M. family
