Our team of Long Term Disability attorneys can help you obtain the LTD benefits you are entitled to. Here, we showcase one recent victory of Michael Ann Woodard.

Michael Ann Woodard is the attorney with our law firm who has taken primary responsibility for researching and developing the Administrative Appeals we submit when our clients’ Short Term Disability or Long Term Disability claims are denied. She has successfully handled hundreds of such appeals and has developed expertise in this area of the law.

Case Study 

A recent case presented a constellation of medical and legal issues. Ms. Woodard was able to wade through them, fairly parsing each one out and successfully demonstrating the client’s entitlement to the LTD benefits.

Issues included a combination of long-standing medical conditions. In this case, a highly successful corporate employee worked as long as he could but finally had to give up his dream job because he could no longer meet its physical demands. He is industrious, so he did remain employed in a lesser-paying position. 

Ms. Woodard had to contend with a variety of medical conditions, satisfying the elimination period, and resolving difficulties inherent in proving that while the claimant can do one job, he cannot do the other. The masterfully detailed explanation of the medical challenges faced by the claimant was required to delineate the difference between the two jobs.

Education And Value

Ms. Woodard graduated from Stetson University Law School in December 2013.  She has been practicing with us ever since. She has truly added value to our law firm. Bringing her expertise to bear on this client’s case has resulted in an award of one year of past benefits but, more importantly, the establishment of the right to receive those benefits through age 67.
