I have had them for the last 4 years & they have gotten my benefits reinstated at least 5 times when Liberty Mutual cancelled my claim for no reason. I would recommend them highly for long term disability! They made my life a lot less stressful when Liberty refused me over & over. They knew the law & kept my benefits intact! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We appreciate your confidence in Dell & Schaefer.

My D&S experience spanned over 7 years and it was a “Relief”, because dealing with my disability insurance company was nightmarish and D&S instantly relieved me of worry. From the first conversation I had with Greg Dell, and his most competent staff of top Attorney Alex Palamara, Danielle Lauria, and Anneli De’ Cardenas, they removed the fear I had of losing my disability benefit. That fear is one big gorilla. D&S’s staff are approachable. They show compassion. And they cover your back.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about Disability Insurance Attorneys Dell & Schaefer! We are delighted that you loved our services, our dedicated staff will be pleased to learn of your high praise.
Thank you, Greg Dell

Gregory Dell represented me over the past year in a disability claim. He responded quickly to emails and telephone calls, and was very helpful. The outcome was good. If I had to go through the same thing again, I would again choose Gregory Dell to represent me.

You should not send any sensitive or confidential information through this site. Emails sent through this site do not create an attorney-client relationship

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
