About Us

Challenging insurance companies who deny access to medically necessary bariatric surgery and other types of health care for the diseases of obesity and morbid obesity through their internal appeals process. through external (independent) reviews or forced arbitration or mediation.
Pursuing or consulting with victims of employment discrimination, Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)violations and wrongful termination based on weight.our first concern when you are involved in an accident case is usually to seek medical treatment. Soon the worries start: How will these medical bills be paid? How can we pay our bills without being able to work? If a loved one was killed from the negligence of someone, the same concerns are there on top of all the grief that attends such a loss. The only way to deal with these issues is to learn your legal rights. Foremost, you have a right to seek legal counsel. Experienced attorneys can tell you whether there is a legal claim to pursue that may result in a financial recovery. While a financial recovery is never adequate to compensate for lifelong disability or death, it is the only remedy allowed to you by law.
