Shakeshaft-Gorman Law Firm, LLP

If you have problems with your disability insurance claim, you need the Shakeshaft-Gorman Law Firm! I’ve unfortunately spent years on Long Term Disability (LTD) with the UNUM Insurance Company. After the initial struggle to get on LTD, I quickly became used to the yearly letters and phone calls requiring further documentation to maintain my LTD benefits. Then, one year, I received a letter from UNUM that they were reaching 21 years into my past and considering a modest pension I had earned from a different employer as “deductable income”. UNUM now claimed I had been overpaid in LTD benefits more than $46K and were withholding my monthly benefits until the money was repaid, causing me financial stress. I argued with UNUM by phone for a month, providing whatever documentation they requested to prove my pension was not associated with my LTD insurance but they stood firm. Finally I decided I needed legal help. I contacted the Shakeshaft-Gorman Law Firm. Mr. Gorman listened to the details of my situation with patience and compassion. He recognized the unfairness of UNUM’s treatment and, although my case was small, he was eager to take on the insurance company. Within 24 hours of signing the usual paperwork authorizing the Shakeshaft-Gorman Law Firm to represent me in dealing with UNUM, UNUM had “reconsidered their position”, “recalculated” that I did not actually owe them over $46K, and they were reinstating my benefits, effective immediately. Obviously, the Shakeshaft-Gorman Law Firm can’t promise to resolve everyone’s disability insurance issues in 1 day, but don’t try to take on the multi-billion dollar insurance companies on your own. Get a professional on your side and I can highly recommend Mr. Gorman and the professionals at the Shakeshaft-Gorman Law Firm. With my case now resolved, I’ll leave you with the parting words Mr. Gorman said to me, “Let me know if they try to mess with you again”…and I will.

Mr Shakeshaft is a very experienced and competent attorney. He’s been practicing law in Colorado for many years and knows most if not all the Judges and attorneys in El Paso county and it’s vicinity. My case involved both workman’s comp and a dog attack. Mr Shakeshaft and his staff did a great job litigating my case. I was able to contact the firm easily for questions and other information. The peace of mind I had while healing from my dog attack and not worrying about the litigation process was great! In the end Mr Shakeshaft was able to get me a great compensation for my pain and suffering. I’d absolutely recommend Shakeshaft Law firm to anyone needing a great attorney and staff! Matt K

I was rear ended, and the first time I called the office and spoke with the reception staff I was been blown away at the attention and time that I was given. Ken made time for my schedule anytime we needed a face to face chat over video or the phone (hard to accomplish in Covid times). When I had a concern about my doctor I was given a list of other options. They really cared about me getting healthy with as little inconvenience as possible. I was able to attend months of therapy with no out of pocket expense and during my treatment. Updates were provided regularly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs help.
