I heartily give my very highest recommendation to Terry Coleman and his superb team at Pillsbury & Coleman (P&C) for anyone needing to battle a multi-billion insurance company due to improper denial of long-term disability benefits. As a litigation attorney myself with decades of experience dealing with insurance companies, I never thought I’d end up needing to pursue my own lawsuit due to an insurance company’s improper denial of benefits. Given my years of experience in the legal field, I believe I was in a particularly good position to evaluate possible attorneys and hire only the very best. And I did just that when I retained Terry Coleman. Terry, Ryan Opgenorth, and the whole team at P&C, clearly demonstrated their exceptional level of knowledge, skill, diligence and devotion throughout every stage of my case. They did a stellar job in strategizing, giving me sound advice, dealing with mountains of written discovery propounded by the insurance company, vigorously conducting investigation and discovery including deposing key insurance company personnel on the East Coast, masterfully defeating the insurance company’s attempts to have the judge throw out the case through a motion for summary adjudication, hiring excellent expert witnesses and aggressively preparing for trial and negotiating with our opponent. I also clearly benefited from the fact that Terry Coleman and his firm have a stellar reputation with the many insurance companies and defense attorneys that they have confronted over the years. Terry and Ryan skillfully capitalized on the insurance company’s bad conduct (insufficient investigation, biased and unreasonable assumptions and conclusions, etc.), thereby forcing the insurance company to ultimately pay us handsomely for that bad conduct. In sum, I believe hiring Terry Coleman and his firm was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

You pay a premium to a disability insurance company with the hope of never having to make a claim on that insurance. As a senior executive of an international company, I was not so fortunate and became ill and disabled with a significant numbers of surgeries. What seemed like the obvious to me, was not so to my insurance carrier. They made numerous attempts to disqualify me from receiving benefits and they put forth multiple roadblocks to my claim. When I originally determined that I needed legal assistance, I interviewed multiple firms. I needed a professional firm who understood ERISA law thoroughly and a firm that had significant experience in this area of law. My decision to retain Terry Coleman at Pillsbury and Levinson was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Terry and team were able to legally defend my rights within the policy and have my benefits reinstated after originally being declined. The entire legal process can be very emotional to the policy holder, so all the more reason to make the selection of your legal team a sound one. Thank you to Terry Coleman and Pillsbury and Levinson. Outstanding work and good people too!

Mr. Coleman is an extremely intelligent attorney with many years of experience dealing with Professional Disability. His expertise in the field secured my claim once I became disabled from continuing practice in Anesthesiology and needed to activate my profession specific disability policy. The Insurance Company made many erroneous attempts to disqualify my policy, but Mr. Coleman was very adept at defending me and deflecting their excuses not to pay. I would recommend him to any professional who finds themselves in the situation where they need to interact with their Insurance Company concerning payment of their policy and maintaining the integrity of the policy agreement. The Insurance Companies are in the business of making money - not paying out when necessary, so the sooner you speak with Mr. Coleman - the better.

I was lucky enough to retain Terry Coleman, Dan Veroff and Ryan Opgenorth to represent me in a in a disability claim against my insurance company. As a retired attorney I an ably qualified to assess their work and can attest to the fact that it was superb. In addition, they were impeccably professional throughout the process and treated me with kindness, compassion and understanding. Ultimately their legal skills produced an award far beyond my expectations. I can recommend them without reservation.

I just got back to work from a short term disability. I have numerous questions about my coverage. I called Pillsbury and Coleman. Attorney Ryan Opgenorth called me back and spent good amount of time with me answered all my questions and helped me to understand my policy. He would not even to charge for his time even though I was more than content to pay for his time as I found his help was very valuable.

Terry Coleman has helped me to recover my compensation from Standard Insurance Co. Throughout the process, he was a trustworthy, knowledgeable attorney I could depend on. His experience with different insurance companies also helped me very much to understand the process of the litigation. I absolutely recommend Terry Coleman if you have a problem with your insurance company.
