The Maddox Firm - New York, NY

How do I start my review of the Maddox Firm, maybe it?s with saying ?Thank You? for helping me out with my Short Term and Long Term Disability claims when I felt I was at my lowest!!! I contracted COVID and was impacted by Long Haul symptoms related to cognition requiring me to go on STD from work. My STD Insurance Company denied my claim after several weeks and after a quick panic I was referred to Matt by a coworker and hiring him and his outstanding assist Ari. Within several weeks of hiring them, a check from the STD Insurance Company was deposited into my account for the 2.5 months of missing pay due to the denial/appeal. For Long Term Disability, Matt knew who to send me to for testing that specializes in cognitive impairment issues. I had a check from the insurance company for LTD before I had even heard I was approved via mail. Matt is an outstanding attorney who I will definitely be retaining and Ari will hold your hand through the whole process!!! Thanks again to both of you!!!

The law firm of Mr. Maddox and Adriana Gonzalez is a dependable and trustworthy service provider. Since my initial interaction with them, I had the pleasure of conversing with Miss Adriana Gonzalez, who patiently listened to my concerns and provided me with sincere and relevant responses. Adriana was able to address my anxieties and calm me down until I had an in-person meeting with Mr. Maddox. During the meeting, Mr. Maddox demonstrated his high level of preparation and expertise in the matter by providing me with different scenarios that could arise with the insurance company. The meeting took place at his office located at Wall Street in New York Manhattan, where he skillfully interjected from his experience, leading the discussion back to the policy. After the meeting, I felt like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders, and it was all thanks to Mr. Maddox's knowledge and professionalism. He is an exceptional attorney with experience in long-term disability, which is not an easy thing to come by. He knows what he is doing, which is evident from his level of preparation and the way he handled my case. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Mr. Maddox to anyone in need of an excellent and proficient attorney. It is worth noting that one gets what they pay for, and with Mr. Maddox, you can expect nothing but the best.

Following a deadly auto accident where I was among 40 victims, long term disability became a necessity. Insured by one of the largest carriers (Guardian Berkshire), the complexity of complying with the insurance company?s scrutiny, despite deep medical evidence, seemed to intensify constantly. Besides being a disheartening experience (on top of navigating the realities of a disabling medical dynamic) the company?s aggressive behaviors made ongoing employment efforts, let alone any measure of confidentiality, almost impossible. Matthew has been unflinching in his command of the law, facilitation and coordination with physicians and in calmly interacting with the carrier to protect me, but mostly, to maintain a constructive relationship with the carrier. While he is well equipped to navigate contentious interactions and litigate on my behalf, his default is to avoid the stress and cost of these paths (unlike so many other attorneys who lead with bluster and aggression- which is generally not constructive). Matthew and his team are responsive, thoughtful, collaborative, respectful, but directive when appropriate. I value their partnership- so much so that without hesitation (and at my, not his invitation) requested to follow Matthew from a large national disability firm to The Maddox Firm.

Matt and Ari have been a lifesaver for me in achieving and maintaining my long-term disability benefits with The Hartford. Having seen what's involved, I can't imagine having gone through the process myself. They knew how to best advocate for my claim, seeking the necessary tests and documentation, and coordinating between the LTD carrier and my doctors. Most importantly, I feel that Matt and Ari genuinely care about me and how their work is helpful to my health.
