We Know Benefits and ERISA
Your case will benefit from our experience in the benefits arena. Lloyd Ambinder, one of our founding attorneys, has been a Lecturer for the National Conference of Unions and Employee Benefit Funds.
We can educate you about ERISA and help you protect your assets as well as your rights.
For instance, ERISA bars companies from terminating or discriminating against workers for exercising their rights under an ERISA benefits plan. If you are sick and your employer has fired you to prevent you from taking short- or long-term disability leave, we can help you pursue a claim.
When it comes to pensions, ERISA mandates that your employer, union or other ERISA fiduciary inform you of changes to your effective date or the amount of your pension plan. It also requires that you are notified in a timely way that a pension plan is terminating. If you have been the victim of pension mishandling, we are here to defend your interests.
We are dedicated to holding responsible parties accountable for ERISA violations, and you can rely on us for aggressive representation in your case.
With our contingency fee model, we will not charge you attorney fees unless we obtain a financial recovery for you.
