About Law Offices of Barbara B. Comerford

Caring and Compassionate Lawyers and Staff

Law Offices of Barbara B. Comerford concentrates its practice in the area of disability law. Since Ms. Comerford began the private practice of law in 1985, she has made it her mission to make every effort to approach her clients' needs with kindness and compassion. Our staff reflects that commitment. Our associates, bilingual paralegals and legal assistants take the time to listen, and to assist clients through the maze of forms, and bureaucracy which can often overwhelm them. And when our clients' legal needs require outside assistance, we refer them to others who may be able to help them. In that sense, we take a holistic approach to the law. We understand that a call to our firm usually reflects months of anguish about whether to retain an attorney to help navigate through the disability process. Contrary to the public perception, most people call a disability lawyer when they simply have no other choice.

While Barbara Comerford began her legal practice in 1985 representing personal injury plaintiffs, as well as disability clients, in the late 1990's, she made a decision to concentrate her practice on assisting disabled clients. Since that time, she has referred all personal injury cases to law firms with vast experience in personal injury matters. However, Ms. Comerford encourages those clients to continue to reach out to her if they have any other legal questions or concerns.

Our firm remains committed to zealously representing clients with disability claims against the Social Security Administration, long term disability insurance companies (ERISA and individual disability income policies) as well as state disability pensions. Ms. Comerford has more than two decades of experience in this field and has earned a reputation for working hard to ensure that her clients are protected, and that their rights are zealously guarded. Please contact our firm for a free consultation. We look forward to helping you!

Matthew Schrieks spent a great deal of time with us at our initial meeting and made a great first impression: compassionate, energetic, detailed, knowledgeable, and eager to help us. Matt took upon the whole process of helping us file for pension disability to alleviate the burden and confusion of doing it our ourselves. Anytime we had questions, he provided immediate guidance and answers. We could not have been more pleased with our experience and outcome of the case.

Handing over my case to Barbara was the best decision. Barbara approached my case in an all-encompassing manner, hiring experts in the field and top doctors. Clients are in the most capable hands with Barbara and her team of attorneys. As an attorney myself, I have been most impressed by Barbara’s broad knowledge of the aspects of disability law and procedure. I always appreciated Barbara’s candor and her devotion to my interests. My disability benefits were reinstated, thanks to Barbara.

I met with many attorneys for my ERISA case with Metlife. They all talked about a very long and expensive process. Matthew Schrieks, of Barbara B Comerford"s Office, presented a much more structured process which could potentially be resolved with in the appeal itself and for a fair price. He and his team (especially Karen Berger) worked diligently, kept me well informed, were upfront and honest, and always compassionate. They resolved my case within days of the appeal process. An amazing team!!

My experience with this law firm has been amazing. After years of illness I felt like I was at the end of the line. Matt Schreiks took over my case after I was thrown around through the system and given the run around. Matt took my case and all the nonsense stopped. Many times I felt like I was talking to a friend and not my lawyer. If you want someone to take over when you get too frustrated, call this firm because I truly believe they care .

I could not have been happier with Jennifer Manger's service as my lawyer. I worked with her for over a year & a half & during that time she did everything she could to make sure I received my SS disability insurance, & after all that time, I was finally approved 2 weeks ago. :) During that time, she was crystal clear on what I could expect, she patiently took & calmed me during my panicked calls because things were taking so long. She is the perfect combination of realistic & hopeful. The best!

I was stunned to learn I would lose my LTD benefits, despite my ongoing disability. This would have been a devastating loss were it not for the compassionate, top-notch representation I received from Matthew Shrieks—working collaboratively with Barbara. Both responded quickly to my calls and questions, keeping me informed. I especially valued Matt’s attention to detail and his passionate, tenacious commitment to winning my case. I am thrilled with the outcome. I could not have asked for more.

She is very informed on disability and spoke to me with compassion - I highly recommend Jennifer Manger.

When I contacted the Barbara Comerford law offices I was fortunate to speak with Jennifer Manger. I had heard that applying for Disability was a frustrating, lengthly and difficult process. Dealing with Jennifer Manger made all I had heard absolutely untrue. Jennifer walked me through every detail, answered all questions and concerns and kept in constant contact throughout the process. Jennifer was attentive, knowledgable and compassionate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
