Employee Benefits Law Attorney in Seattle, Washington

Effective Representation of Claimants in ERISA Disputes

If your benefits under an employer-sponsored plan has been denied or terminated, you should obtain the assistance of a lawyer experienced in employee benefits. Whether your claim is for disability insurance benefits, pension or retirement proceeds, medical benefits, or life insurance proceeds, you need an attorney who knows the law and the process, will help you understand your options, and give you a realistic assessment of your claim.

At the Law Office of James D. Oswald, I represent individuals across the state who have been denied retirement, health, life, or disability insurance benefits. I have worked for the last 25 years to protect the rights of working men and women in Washington. ERISA, which is the federal law that governs employee benefits, has been the major focus of my practice since 1984. Contact my offices for a consultation in the areas of: 

• ERISA compliance and employee benefits: I handle all employee benefits disputes that fall under ERISA, including disability, retirement, life and medical insurance claims.
• Disability insurance denials: When you have been injured and cannot work, but your claim for disability insurance benefits under your employer's plan has been denied, I will protect your interests.
• Retirement plans and pensions: Whether you work for a private industry or for a public employer in Washington State, when there are irregularities with your retirement plan or pension, I will help you take the necessary action to protect your retirement income.
• Life insurance and medical claims: When your claim for death benefits or medical coverage under an employer plan is denied, I will assist you in taking the appropriate steps to recover what is rightfully yours.
• Key employee benefits information: That law, known as ERISA (for Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) requires that certain procedures be followed in connection with your claim, but also limits the remedies you can receive when you are denied benefits.

Because I am a sole practitioner, you can be confident that you will receive personal attention, and the benefit of my experience and knowledge. Contact me for a consultation. My offices are open from 9 am until 5 pm, Monday through Friday. If you are unable to travel to my offices, I can arrange to visit you at a location of your convenience.
