Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo, P.C. - Hackensack, NJ

I have been a client of Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo and specifically Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. since the summer of 2017 when I injured my hand and the firm was referred to me by the providers of my disability insurance. Never did I think I would need an attorney for my straight forward injury and claim... I was wrong. Thankfully my path was gratefully blessed with Mr. Joel Zelkowitz from the very beginning. He has handled everything with getting my disability insurance policy activated without issue and has done so with me being many states away. Joel quickly and diligently handles any matters that arise and deals with them directly. Mr. Zelkowitz always takes time to explain to me the importance of each and every thing that he does for my case. He truly is my advocate. He is NEVER too busy for me and has always made extra time for me during my more "stressed" times. I appreciate Joel is never shy about asking for other's opinions in his firm as well. Mr. Zelkowitz not only handled the initial matters with the insurance company, but he has since dealt with an appeal on my behalf to get my claim reinstated after the company stopped paying. I honestly cannot imagine having to deal with paperwork on my own. I would not be receiving my disability payments if it were not for Mr. Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. and his continued hard work, motivation and outstanding skills. Thank you!

Joel D. Zelkowitz, Esq. represented me with my disability claim against an insurance company. He has a high level of professionalism and I am truly grateful for his help to get my disability claim payments reinstated. If I ever need representation from an attorney Joel would be my first call and I highly recommend him.

Joel Zelkowitz is an outstanding attorney for anyone dealing with issues related to a disability insurance policy. He promptly responds fo all inquires and provides sounds advice based upon his experience and takes the time to understand one’s particular circumstances. He is highly professional, but also friendly and down-to-earth. I highly recommend him.

It feels pretty scary when you are one on one in the ring with a Big Insurance Company fighting for what is rightfully yours. Mike Quiat and his team in your corner sure does level the playing field. Sports talk aside,MQ is truly a great lawyer! I highly recommend him and his firm.

I was very pleased with the courteous and professional interaction I had with this law firm, and in particular, with Mr. Quiat. He was patient and listened intently as I explained my situation to him. Mr. Quiat was kind and understanding of my needs. He addressed every detail of my concerns. He was patient as he responded in a timely fashion to my inquiries. Judging by the way Mr. Quiat treated me, I would highly recommend him and his colleagues in this firm. Thank you

Saying thank you could never begin to be enough to say to Joel Zelkowitz and the staff for the diligent work and attention to detail that was done in handling my Appeal for my disability benefits from my former employers insurance company. Joel's understanding of my medical situation and his reassurance that everything would be ok, was very comforting and showed that he truly cares about his clients. If there was ever a person/firm that I would recommend, this would be it.

I have been in business 41 years and have dealt with many a law firm both in business and personally. I rarely write reveiws. This experince is one of those exceptions. I recently was in the need of a disablity attorney on a complex issue and was referred to Joel Zelkowitz. My experince was shockingly outstanding! His attention to details, the effort to understand our situation and willingness to take the extra research steps to make sure he was advising us with the best information available before asking us to to sign a representation letter was just unexpected. His command of the law and case studies was very impressive. His integrity and work ethic is a rare commodity in today's world and seldom found in the legal profession. He is the real deal.

I was on long term disability for 14 years due to a cancer diagnosis. During this time, my attorney was Michael Quiat of Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russon. I cannot express how happy I was with his counsel & advice. In addition to being a fine and empathetic attorney, I was most impressed with his knowledge of how insurance companies operate in reviewing and challenging claims and how best to respond. This comes from decades of experience. I don’t think one can do better.

Michael Quiat’s professional acumen, which I’ve found to be of the highest pedigree, has, over the years long course of my client relationship with him, only been exceeded by the sincerity of his concern for my circumstance. My circumstance was one where health issues left me in a dire predicament, and Michael facilitated the only resolution that could have possibly left me with my dignity and a path forward. As an attorney myself, I do not make this statement lightly and I hope it may provide some context for those in need of making a profoundly important assessment concerning the retention of an advocate dealing with a particularly confusing and often counterintuitive area of law. Put simply, Michael Quiat provides expert advocacy in a thoughtful, accessible and responsive manner. I am grateful to have found him in my time of need and I highly recommend him.

I have been working with this firm for almost 3 years and I am exceptionally pleased with them for the following reasons: 1) They have successfully advocated and represented me every step of the way 2) Explained the process clearly, identified risks and did not overpromise 3) Extremely knowledgable 4) Do not waste my time (and increase my bills). Calls and emails are short, direct and to the point; Sometimes, I also do some "self service" to help lower my bills and they are fine with that 5) Reachable and responsive 6) Professional, courteous and accommodating They were an excellent hire. I'm so glad they were recommended to me

We were extremely pleased with the counsel provided by Joel Zelkowitz, of the firm Uscher, Quiat, Uscher, & Russo. Joel was immediately responsive to our inquiries, knowledgeable about insurance issues, and generous with his time. Unlike other attorneys that we interviewed before him, Joel was focused on a positive outcome for us versus a lucrative engagement for his firm. His professional approach and sound recommendations reassured us as we tackled our complex insurance matters. We would use Joel’s services again without hesitation and highly recommend him to others.

I have worked for law firms for over 40 years. When I became disabled, Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo were referred to me by one of the Prosecutors in Monmouth County. Since I have experience working with many different law firms, I didn't know what to expect. I wanted to write a review because Uscher, Quiat were wonderful to work with. Being that this was a very stressful time for me, Mr.Quiat and his associate, Joel, were very patient, understanding and very responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this firm.

Working with Mike Quait and staff was an easy and a pleasant experience. They know what they are doing when it comes to disability law and wading through the hurdles insurance companies place before you.

Mike Quiat is the absolute best lawyer to choose for any disability insurance issues. He's very knowledgeable, sharp, friendly, and responsive to client questions. I highly recommend Mike because I was more than satisfied with his top-notch representation and SUPER results.

Michael Quiat is an exceptional attorney who is professional, ethical, honest and effective. He responds quickly and confidently to questions and concerns. I highly recommend Mr. Quiat as his expertise and knowledge of the law is outstanding.
