Questions
What qualifies as a 3/4 disability pension case?
A 3/4 disability pension requires proving your condition prevents full duty performance. We help NYPD and FDNY members document medical evidence and legal grounds to demonstrate eligibility.
How long does the pension process take?
Applications typically take 1-3 years. Litigation adds time but our experience expedites processes. We keep clients informed at every stage and work to meet all critical deadlines.
Can I apply without an attorney?
Yes, but our expertise significantly improves success rates. We help avoid common mistakes and present compelling cases that address all legal and medical requirements.
What if my application gets denied?
Denials are common but not final. We analyze denial reasons, strengthen your case, and pursue appeals or Article 78 litigation to challenge improper decisions.
How are your services different from other firms?
We focus exclusively on 3/4 disability pensions. This specialization gives us deeper expertise and better results compared to general practice attorneys handling multiple unrelated areas.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, we provide comprehensive free consultations with no obligation. Our initial meetings typically last 2-3 hours to thoroughly review your case and discuss strategies.
