I was denied my disability pension and feeling very overwhelmed and confused by the insurance companies dismissive attitude and what felt like was a complete brush off of my compounded medical conditions. I contacted McDermott Law and they helped me through the entire process and we won on the first appeal. I was incredibly relieved as I couldn’t understand how I was denied in the first place. I can’t thank them enough.
