I chose RDL after they came highly recommended by both another attorney and one of my medical organizations, whose patients had wonderful experiences with them. I have several autoimmune conditions and was recently diagnosed with ME/CFS and Long Covid, which are notoriously difficult to document and prove. RDL was highly knowledgeable about these illnesses and knew exactly how to present the extensive medical evidence required. Their understanding and empathy of what patients go through makes them exceptionally strong advocates. Even before I signed with them, they stood out. Their responses were the fastest of any firm I contacted, and Michelle patiently answered every question. During the claim process, Kelli and Kristin guided me through every step with professionalism, skill, and warmth. They explained their strategy clearly for both the initial claim and appeal, and kept me informed throughout. The disability claim process is stressful, and ironically not great for your health, but any time there was an issue, they calmly worked through a solution with a positive attitude which put me at ease (even while taking my panicked call on a Friday night!). Thanks to their dedication, my insurer approved my claim, and I can now focus fully on my health. I'm so grateful that I chose RDL and can't thank them enough for their outstanding service, compassion, and wisdom. If you're looking for experienced professionals who treat you as an individual and not a case number, you'll be in excellent hands with them.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for trusting our team with your claim.<br><br>We know how challenging it can be to pursue a disability claim while dealing with complex conditions like ME/CFS and Long Covid, and we’re glad we could help guide you through the process.

Attorney's are very picky when they need to hire another attorney to represent them. I'm an attorney and needed representation in a very difficult disability case. I wanted one of the best disability lawyers in California and several attorneys highly recommended Michelle and it was soon apparent why - she's a brilliant lawyer and she's a fighter. She won my claim against a big insurance company. She helped me obtain social security disability coverage. When the insurance company decided to pay me a lump sum amount she fought to get me more money by questioning their methodology and won. When I needed an employment attorney she gave me an excellent referral and worked with them to ensure that my disability benefits were protected. At every turn over 4 years she won, won, won. I simply couldn't rate a fellow attorney any higher than Michelle. Amazing!
Roberts Disability Law has been outstanding to work with. After my insurance provider denied my long-term disability claim, their expertise allowed them to create a clear strategy for handling my case. they never gave up and were able to get my claim approved. The Roberts team were in communication throughout the entire process an super supportive. I Thank God for retaining them.

Avoid sending your details to them. They are a referral firm who will take all of your case documents and other stuff and refer to another law firm for a 25% commission of all the money that you will pay to the new law firm. They do not mention it anywhere. Poor business practice to share my information for getting a 25% commission without informing me the details.
I’m sorry that your experience felt confusing or frustrating, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify our role.<br><br>Roberts Disability Law is not a referral firm. We are a litigation practice that represents clients directly. When we are unable to take on a matter, we sometimes refer individuals to trusted colleagues who may be able to assist.<br><br>We did not send your documents, claim details, or personal information to any other law firm.<br><br>Our firm does not charge clients a referral fee. In some situations, a law firm we refer someone to may choose to share a portion of their fee with us, but this is disclosed in their written retainer agreement and does not change the amount a client pays for legal services. We also are always happy to decline a referral fee entirely when a client prefers that.<br><br>We referred you because we believed the other firm was well suited to assist you. If you would like to discuss this further or address any remaining concerns, we welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly at 510-230-2090 or michelle@robertsdisability.com.
Appealing claims with insurance firms is challenging. Appealing a disability claim as a disabled person is even harder. Roberts Disability Law enabled me to successfully appeal my disability claim. They told me what information I needed to provide, held my hand to get the information needed, and helped me put my best foot forward. The mental load they took off my plate was well-worth it and I recommend them to anyone who feels unsure of where to start with a disability claim appeal.
Hello Sudha, we appreciate your thoughtful review. Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback.
I have been very satisfied with Robert’s Disability Law. They successfully managed my disability case to a positive outcome. I am positive the outcome would not have been the same had I tried to do it myself. They were highly communicative throughout the process and I always knew what was happening with my case. I am a satisfied client and highly recommend them.
Thank you so much, Chris!
I had an outstanding experience working with Michelle Roberts at Roberts Disability Law, P.C. She is incredibly knowledgeable about ERISA disability law and knew exactly how to handle my case from start to finish. When my insurance company denied my long-term disability claim, she fought hard for me and ultimately won my benefits. She’s smart, efficient, and extremely professional — yet also compassionate and easy to talk to. She kept me informed every step of the way and made a very stressful process so much easier to handle. Her fees are very reasonable, especially considering the high level of expertise and effort she puts into her work. I truly believe Michelle is one of the best disability attorneys in the country. If you need someone to fight for your rights against an insurance company, she’s the one you want on your side. Highly recommended!
Mr. W, thank you so much for your review. It was a real pleasure working with you!
Michelle Roberts and her team are amazing they kept me updated thru the appeal process and they got the job done ! I highly recommend her.
Thank you, Tony! It was great working with you.
My best friends mom owns this firm. She is so nice and caring. She is one of the most intelligent people I know and everyone should hire her.
My best friends mom owns this firm. There are the nicest people ever and you should give them a try.
Thank you so much, Cyrus. We are here to serve.
Michelle and her team are extremely knowledgeable and responsive. They did a great job of helping me navigate the complex problem of reaching a settlement with my LTD carrier. Highly recommend!
Michele Roberts & all members of the team are excellent, professional, empathetic, personable, and fun to kid around with. This was an excellent experience and I highly recommend this firm to all that will listen!!! In addition they were highly thorough and focused on the which was a big reason I won my case
Michelle is a brilliant attorney. One of the nations leading experts on ERISA, group disability insurance and litigation. I couldn’t recommend anyone as highly as her.
Michelle Roberts, of Roberts Disability Law, is an excellent disability attorney. Long-term disability companies (including the one I was insured by) are very difficult to work with, are adversarial, and vigorously seek to deny benefits no matter how deserving you the disabled person are. When you are weak, in pain, and have trouble thinking, it is wonderful to have someone like Michelle on your side who will go up against a giant company singlehandedly, win the case, and preserve your benefits. She’s smart, knows her business, and she’s great to have on your side. If you find yourself in such a situation, you will definitely want someone like Michelle Roberts as your attorney. You can’t go wrong, with her. She’s the best.
We are incredibly grateful to Michelle and her team for successfully leading us through an extremely difficult and stressful process with my LTD insurance company. I can wholeheartedly recommend Michelle as a highly experienced and professional attorney who knew exactly what it would take to win my case. Nearly as important as their legal expertise, Michelle and Kristin dealt with my intense aggravation over the insurance company's behavior with gentle patience and kindness. Their perseverance and expertise brought about a successful financial resolution to my case, all while their encouragement, compassion and confidence made the entire process far easier to bear. Thank you Michelle, Kristen and Susan!
There is so much positive feedback I have for Michelle that I don’t even know where to start. She assisted me with my LTD process and offered me free consultations. Michelle is incredibly responsive to emails and always replies promptly. Even though I wasn't officially her client, she treated me as if I were. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help you save money on legal fees, which is truly remarkable. If I ever need an LTD attorney to appeal my benefits in the future, I will definitely hire her without hesitation. I've spoken to numerous LTD attorneys, but none of them were as friendly, responsive, and professional as Michelle. If you're looking for an attorney to handle your claim, look no further and contact her office – you won't be disappointed with the results. As for her fees and the services she provides, I can confidently say that she offers the best contingency fee. What sets her apart from other firms is that you get two attorneys working on your case, unlike most firms, where paralegals handle most of the work.
Sam, thank you so much for your feedback!
Roberts Law helped me immensely when I needed it most. They are consummate professionals and very knowledgeable about all aspects of disability law. Communication was always timely, clear and concise. I certainly recommend this firm to others.
"The company I selected, Roberts Disability, is dedicated to achieving excellence in all aspects of their work. Their team, consisting of highly educated women, thoroughly evaluated multiple firms before choosing them. Their unwavering commitment to advocating for their clients' rights is unparalleled, and they never give up. I can tell you that there is no need to search further because you are in the most capable hands possible.
Thank you so much, Greg!
Roberts Disability Law was amazing in that they accepted my case just two days before my window to file expired. Corinne Chandler provided the research that gave our mediator the upper hand in dealing with my disability corporation. In talking with Corinne and Michelle I realized how knowledgeable and experienced they were with disability and ERISA laws and due to this we received a higher settlement through mediation than I hoped for. I always thought that lawyers were stuffy and boring but both Michelle and Corinne were very easy to talk to and were actually joking around during the mediation making me much more relaxed and confident.
James - thank you so much for your review. We enjoyed working with you as well!
