“A year ago McDermott Law came at the recommendation of my wife’s disability lawyer and I am ever thankful he did. The team, from start to finish, made me feel like they had my best interest at heart. Their inclusive nature kept me informed while their diligence left me hopeful. When I first spoke with Shawn McDermott, he didn’t sugar coat my situation. He thoroughly explained the process and what we were up against. They did their homework well and when documents were submitted, I could really see the work that was put into my case. Because my results ended on a positive note, I know that I am probably biased but I truly believe their efforts changed the direction my life was heading. I couldn’t be more thankful.” — Garth R.

“I’ve had Shawn McDermott on my side for 10 years
I had Mr. McDermott handle my LTD case for me starting in 2012. At time I was devastated but Shawn and his staff pulled me through and won my case against a nasty insurance carrier. The carrier eventually bought out my claim after 10 years but Shawn never failed me and was there every step of the way. I will always recommend McDermott Law. ” — Peter (Review from Avvo)

“Hi Shawn,
I just received the February benefit check and was pleasantly surprised…. It’s a reaffirmation of the faith I placed in your firm and your people. Top of the line all the way through. I can’t thank you all enough, really, I can’t. You and your firm have been courteous, professional, and, dare I say it, downright friendly through the whole process. I cannot ever hope to have found a more responsive bunch of people. You had better watch it before you give lawyers a good name.
Thank you again. My wife, Barbara, asked that I send her thanks along as well as we were presented with a high priced prescription for her today and this will cover it! Yeah!” — Randy T.
“I HIGHLY recommend Mr. McDermott and his team. I am disabled and my LTD company was trying everything to drop me from their coverage. I believe Mr. McDermott and his team saved me. He was upfront about his experience with the insurance company I was fighting and had even finished a case (successfully) for an individual with the same rare condition I have and the same insurance company I was fighting! He set my expectations realistically by explaining his past experience with this insurance company. I was worried that they would need a lot of involvement from me but they are a well oiled machine. He, the junior attorney and paralegal diligently kept me apprised of everything going on and answered every question I could possibly think of. He is remarkable. He handily won my case and did it with excellent economy of my money. Highly knowledgeable, expedient, experts in ERISA law, outstanding quality of work, excellent use of time/money, kind and always available to the client–these are just a few of his outstanding qualities. During one of the worst experiences of my life, he took control of everything and allowed me to focus on healing while eviscerating the opposing case. A good lawyer is like the lost city of Atlantis. You’ve heard of it, but doubtful you’d ever find it. Shawn McDermott is that lawyer and winning never felt so good.” — Carolyn
