California Disability Law Attorneys


Serving San Francisco for Over 30 Years


Advocating for Individuals with Disabling Conditions

If you're living with a disabling condition like cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or depression, your disability insurance policy should offer financial protection for you and your family. Unfortunately, insurance companies often deny legitimate claims, conduct inadequate investigations, and resort to unreasonable and bad faith disability claim denials. The consequences for the disabled individual can be devastating, both financially and emotionally.


At DL Law Group, we are committed to helping policyholders secure the benefits they rightfully deserve when their insurance company mishandles their claims, including:


  • Unjustly denying a claim
  • Unreasonably delaying payment
  • Terminating disability benefits


Our attorneys bring over 30 years of combined experience in handling even the most complex disability insurance disputes and have successfully battled the nation's largest and most litigious carriers. Leverage our expertise, knowledge, and skill to your advantage.


Whether you're facing a short-term disability or a long-term one, our firm will aggressively pursue benefits on your behalf. Our lawyers will take the time to understand your physical or mental condition and the specific details of your insurance dispute. After a thorough review of your policy, medical records, and communications with the insurance company, we'll provide a candid assessment of your situation and discuss your available options.


By choosing to work with us, we will assist you at any stage of your case, whether you're initiating a claim, appealing a denied claim, or filing a lawsuit. When you become our client, you become our top priority. You'll receive personalized attention and work directly with an experienced attorney for all legal matters. Additionally, we will never advise a resolution that's not in your best interests and are willing to take your case to trial if necessary.


In the landmark disability insurance case of Hangarter v. Provident (UnumProvident), DL Law Group attorneys Alice J. Wolfson and David M. Lilienstein played a pivotal role in securing a $5 million punitive damages award for the client against the notorious UnumProvident (now Unum Group). The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld this verdict, making it one of the most frequently referenced disability insurance cases.
