Dr. Jones, a Dentist with a successful New York City practice, was suffering from cervical radiculopathy, upper extremity pain, and tremors of his hands. 

As his medical conditions progressed, it became increasingly difficult for Dr. Jones to hide his daily pain and discomfort.  Dr. Jones worried that his patients would notice his tremors thus creating added anxiety to his/her overall treatment experience.  Dr. Jones struggled with the decision to end his successful 30+ year dental career. 

Dr. Jones, however, came to Riemer Hess after acknowledging his conditions could pose a danger to his patient鈥檚 safety as he performed procedures with dental instruments.

Barry, a corporate attorney in suburban Connecticut with emphysema, suffered from disabling symptoms, including shortness of breath, chronic coughing, extreme fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness and neuropathy.  As his medical condition progressed, it became more and more difficult for Barry to communicate effectively with his clients and perform his job duties.

It was at this point that Barry came to Riemer Hess.

Mitch came to Riemer Hess requiring immediate assistance and the prowess of a skilled disability law team because his Short Term Disability (鈥淪TD鈥�) had been termination for lack of proof.

Unfortunately, Mitch was facing the possibility of a lengthy and costly appeal. To make matters worse, he also had Long Term Disability (鈥淟TD鈥�) claim pending under an individual policy that was facing a denial due to lack of proof.  Mitch desperately needed the assistance of attorney Scott Riemer and immediately retained the firm after his initial consultation.
