    Can anyone recommend a qualified ME-aware disability lawyer in Portland, OR area?

    Oh, hello. So good to see you again. This Andrew Kantor had a post on reddit from two years ago that sounded good. He's down the page on the fourth row. https://www.kantorlaw.net/meet-our-team/ (I also think I've heard his name mentioned here on PR before so you could do a search maybe.) I'm...

    Long-term Disability (LTD) Appeal was denied (US)

    Thanks, I did talk to him and he was very helpful. Did you have a CPET or neuropsych test performed?

    LTD Policy

    I had many (free) interactions with Andrew Kantor by email and phone; I ultimately won my LTD claim on my own without an attorney. However, if I had issues with my LTD benefits, I would hire him in a heartbeat.

    LTD Policy

    Thank you so much! I am scheduled to speak with Andrew Kantor today and this gives me some additional questions to discuss with him. The iCPet is a good option to pursue. I’ve applied for disability and am waiting the initial decision, but getting a sense of what my game plan will be (I’m...

    LTD Policy

    @Breagjam - Every disability lawyer I spoke to recommended undergoing the 2-day CPET except Andrew Kantor. I didn’t and couldn’t do it, as I had become too severe. But as my health was heading downhill from mild/moderate to severe/housebound ME, I did get an iCPET done by David Systrom. This...

    Long-term Disability (LTD) Appeal was denied (US)

    ...have been initially denied and not to file an appeal on your own without a lawyer’s help. It might be worth calling Linda Née or Andrew Kantor, as they know a lot about the process. The reason to hire a lawyer, if I recall correctly, is that the appeal is the last point in the process to add...
