The difficulties I faced when my CIGNA / New York Life LTD claim was denied were by far larger than I expected. I have never set a foot in USA, but used to work for a US organization here in Europe. Being fully accustomed to my local legal and cultural conditions had not prepared me in the least to even understand the US legal system, much less to deal with it. I can truly say that it was my lucky day when while browsing through internet and trying to make sense of the confusing situation, I stumbled upon the website of Abell and Capitan Law firm. They provided information and possible strategies, answered many naïve questions I asked them in my poor, heavily accented English, showed compassion, gave comfort and went above and beyond what I had expected from legal counsels. Words cannot express my gratitude for the competence, professionalism and patience they displayed and the solid, detailed work they did, in spite of the obstacles that dealing with two profoundly different medical systems put in their way. My special thanks go to Greg, a truly amiable, reliable, diligent and simply kind person, who puzzled my European mind by working the case tirelessly during weekends and even on his vacation, always putting his clients first, never letting the need for rest overcome the passion he has for his profession.
