Fire Loss - Homeowners Insurance
"Steven Taffet of Taffet Law has represented me in dealing with my homeowners insurance co. since my home and land sustained extensive damage and very high dollar losses in a 2022 wildfire. He was responsive, informed and organized right from the start. We turn to him often for advice as the claim is a lengthy process which is still ongoing as of mid-2024. He is experienced, available and user-friendly.
Steve’s counsel has been priceless to me in understanding my rights under my policy, the associated potential benefits and coverages, and he really helped me develop a strategy to get my insurer to fully understand the scope of a complex loss. He has added substantial value to this process."
Long-Term Disability Claim
"I hired Taffet Law in 2022 after my Long Term Disability claim was denied by a major national insurance company. Before I became disabled, I was the senior executive leader of a large advanced science research facility. The claim centered on pain and cognitive issues that the insurer was unwilling to evaluate fairly. The financial implications of the case were quite substantial.
Steve is thorough and highly skilled at navigating every angle of the disability appeal process. His calm demeanor, professionalism, excellent communication skills, and keen insights in identifying an overall strategy for the appeal, made for a very successful outcome. He is clearly an excellent attorney. Furthermore, Steve was very responsive to both my phone and email queries, and his flexibility and availability throughout the process was great. He has also assured me that he is there for me going forward, as legal and insurance issues may arise during my disability time-frame. With his guidance I am confident that my long term disability insurance coverage will continue through until 2029.
I owe Steve and Taffet Law a debt of gratitude for the excellent services provided. I strongly endorse him and would readily recommend him to others in need of similar services. Furthermore, even one of my doctor’s praised him for his knowledge and excellent work."
Bad Faith --Great Advice and Counsel
"Steve Taffet represented me in a bad faith insurance situation, and it turned into more than just that. While he was able to keep pressure on my insurance company to settle, he was even more instrumental in getting the other parties involved together and implemented a settlement that put the matter behind me. I'm very sure that without Steve’s guidance and leadership my matter would have drug on needlessly."
Experienced, Accessible, Tenacious ERISA Lawyer
"Steve took my case when my insurance company terminated my disability benefits because of a doctor’s coding error. Steve navigated me through the waters of doctors scared of insurance companies and lawyers, all the while proclaiming their support for me. Steve calmed them down and after what seemed to be a protracted period of nothingness, he started to finesse the information he needed to prepare the appeal document. In the process he found great medical consultants to aid in his process. In the end his ability to put together a well laid out appeal document and his discussions with the insurance company led to a successful appeal and reinstatement of benefits.
Steve will represent you and fight for your interests in a most professional manner. He was always available to take my calls and answer my questions and concerns. He exhibited extreme patience with me as my anxiety climbed due to the long time it took to get the doctors to get onboard. He has mastered the intricacies of ERISA law. I would recommend Steve Taffet to anyone needing his specialized legal assistance."
Long-Term Disability Claim
"Steven Taffet is a true professional, easy to work with and very knowledgeable. He helped us through a difficult situation, and he streamlined what could have otherwise been a very long and drawn-out process. He enabled us to avoid going to court, which definitely saved us $10,000’s."
Got Great Results From Private Disability Insurance
"I was permanently disabled in a car accident in 1999 and had two private disability insurance policies. When one of them illegally denied my claim, the attorney who represented me referred me to Steve Taffet to get help. Steve quickly got them to start paying me. Then they started harassing me with multiple re-evaluations with their doctors looking for a way to cut me off and sending private detectives to follow me and watch my house. And Steve dealt with them about these practices and got them stopped. Over the years, this company has continued to look for ways to make my life miserable as punishment for filing a claim. And every time, Steve was able to get them to treat me better. After over 15 years of dealing with this company, Steve has always come thru. I would recommend him highly."
