One more thing about Frankel & Newfield we think you should know:

Our firm is deliberately small, because we believe that our clients deserve the hands-on approach that only comes from working closely with one attorney and one paralegal. Your family depends on you – we know that your disability case depends on us. We take that responsibility very seriously.

When the firm was founded, we made a conscious decision to stay this size, so we could work closely with clients in a highly personal approach to law. No, we’re not a giant firm with hundreds of associates and thousands of clients. We chose not to go that route – and we believed that enough people would agree with us to keep our firm thriving.

We’re happy to report that our firm continues to thrive, as we serve clients who share our values and put their faith in our experience and skills.

If you have a question about your disability insurance matter, call us. We look forward to speaking or meeting you.
