Evelyn is a true expert in employee benefits law (including ERISA) and executive compensation. She has been my absolute go-to person for years, when I or my clients have needs in this area. In addition to her high degree of subject matter competence, she is also a very nice person with whom to work .

I hired Jonathan when my Disability benefits were cut off. He reviewed my case and knew exactly what to do. He outlined what needed to be done and was always two steps a head of the insurance company. My benefits were reinstated within 90 days and still today he always has my back. I give this attorn ey the highest rating and you would be a fool not to hire him!

In 2011, my 54-year-old wife was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. As I write this, my wife is preparing to fight this cancer for the third time. Due to the side effects of multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation my wife was in remission but severely disabled. To add insult to injury, just afte r she completed an 8-month clinical trial with a new chemo regime our insurance company terminated my wife’s contracted life and disability benefits. At this point I was so beaten down dealing with our health insurance carrier trying to secure treatment for my wife at Dana Farber and Brigham and Woman’s that there was very little fight left in me. I almost wrote off the life and disability benefits because my main focus was on finding a cure for my wife, since no amount of money could replace her. Then one day, I must have woke up in a bad mood because I called the lawyer who prepared our wills and she informed me that ERISA law was very specialized and she wasn’t qualified to help us prepare an appeal of the insurance companies decision. She gave us the number of another firm, however they also did not deal directly with insurance companies only social security disability. But before I got off the phone, the woman came back and told me {and I can remember her exact words} “ I’ve got the number of just the man you need”, and boy was she right!!! I called Jonathan’s number and explained our situation to his secretary and she said she would transfer me to an attorney. I felt she was turning me over to a junior associate, but was pleasantly surprised when Jonathan picked up my call. I explained our situation and Jonathan informed me that he usually doesn’t handle small cases but my wife’s case intrigued him and he would see what he could do to help us. The majority of our communication was through emails and faxes because phone calls would take up too much of Jonathan’s busy day. So we had to bone up on our computer skills as Jonathan navigated us through the appeals process and handled all communication with the insurance company. During the appeal process my wife had a PET scan and was informed that the cancer had returned. Jonathan was genuinely concerned with my wife’s heath and expressed his best wishes to us on several occasions. Needless to say Jonathan was successful in getting the decision to terminate my wife’s benefits reversed and has restored my faith in fairness and our legal system. I can’t say enough about Jonathan. He is professional, patient, {dealing with a couple inept at emails and faxes}, and very good at what he does. I can honestly say Jonathan went above and beyond to help us, and exceeded all our expectations. Sincerely, J and M

We hired Jonathan Feigenbaum to assist us with an ERISA claim. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and very professional. He always returned my calls and emails promptly and kept us informed every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend him without hesitation!

Jonathan came highly recommended to me by my attorney, who asked if she could turn my file over to him bcz she wanted me to have the best. Our working relationship culminated in a 12-hour mediation, which cemented my already high opinion of him. He was kind & patient with me, and instilled a high lev el of trust as he built a case on my behalf. He successfully navigated the process with me, never condescending or short with me as some lawyers can be. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and he represented me as well as I could possibly have hoped for. I whole-heartedly endorse Jonathan Feigenbaum.

Inspired confidence and talked me through the process so I always knew what the current status was. Jonathan was a rock for me during my ERISA case after my LTD insurance company decided to stop my benefits. The entire process was stressful but I had Jonathan on my side helping me and giving me the confidence that I had chosen the best lawyer. Jonathan always kept me updated and if I sent a email or left a voice mail I would hear back within twenty four hours but usually on the same day. Jonathan always made time to listen to my concerns and he educated me on what was going on in my case. Jonathan was always professional and polite and most if all he listens and responds. Jonathan's experience with ERISA law is second to none! He is simply the best lawyer to represent you as I won my case thanks to Jonathan and thankful I found him to represent me. Thank you Jonathan!

Mala was excellent with her clear direction on what to do in my situation. She even said I could reference her name while contacting an organization that might be able to assist with my case. She's the only one that gave this type of distinct instruction, although I contacted many attorneys on this site regarding my situation. Based on my correspondence with Mala, I would say she was excellent to work with. Please know that my correspondence with Molly was strictly through the website and we actually did not have an in-person discussion. Thank you.

Mala has handled my long term disability claim since 2002. She is always reachable, gives great advice and can be hard nosed as needed but is always trying to find ways to resolve and avoid conflict. In my case she has rectified 4 issues over the 15 year period she has handled my claim with my insura nce company when they have improperly and unfairly denied my benefits, miscalculated benefits, and claimed overpayment as well as refusing to comply with policy terms. I honestly and fully reccomend Mala Rafik as she is a fantastic attorney who is 100% ethical, compassionate and capable. She really is one of the best out there!

I believe that Mala is truly one of the most exceptional and talented attorneys in this country. She is an amazing woman who has made her personal and professional life's mission fighting for the rights of those in need. I am truly honored to have Mala as my attorney, and friend.

All of the other reviews posted here rightly sing Mala's praises, and I will do the same. It is actually hard to find the right words - the adequate words to describe this wonderful human being. Mala is such a savvy, and brilliant attorney, and she makes it all look so simple. And with a large cas eload of complex cases, she still finds time to communicate, respond to questions and just know what needs to be done. This is not an easy field of law to practice in, and despite what many might be saying about attorneys, their big salaries, whatever - this is not the case here. My disability case has gone on for over 4 years, with many bumps in the road, with the insurer throwing curve balls at every opportunity. Again, Mala just "knows" how these guys operate, and how to navigate things despite their often sick, invasive, unprofessional and ruthless tactics. Throughout the process, Mala has always been 10 steps ahead in the process. It is hard enough dealing with chronic illness that will more than likely plague me for the rest of my life; so when you are told that you are perfectly fine and able to work by the insurer, it can be devastating in many ways. Mala understands this, and she understands how difficult it has been for me to accept that my working life has changed. Mala is so incredibly gracious, patient and kind. I feel extremely grateful to have found her.

I worked with Mala on a disability claim. I wanted to evaluate the risk areas and work to mitigate them. Mala effectively worked with me to identify and reduce risk areas. She was also great at adapting her approach to my style, as I wanted to be fairly hands on. Finally the billing process was f air, efficient and represented a very good value. Thanks Mala!
