Practice Areas

New Jersey ERISA Attorney — Fighting for Your Employee Benefits

When an insurance company or employer denies your benefits, the law that governs your fight is most likely ERISA — the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. ERISA is one of the most complex areas of federal law, and navigating it without experienced legal counsel can cost you your claim permanently. At The López Firm, we are a New Jersey ERISA law firm built around one mission: making sure employees get the benefits they earned.

Long-Term Disability Lawyer in New Jersey — We Fight Denied LTD Claims

You paid into your long-term disability plan. You followed your doctor's orders. You filed your claim. And then the insurance company said no. A long-term disability denial can be devastating — financially, emotionally, and physically. But a denial is not the final word. At The López Firm, we represent employees throughout New Jersey and New York whose long-term disability benefits have been wrongfully denied, delayed, or terminated. Attorney Omar A. López has the experience and the tenacity to take on insurance companies and fight for the benefits you earned.

Short-Term Disability Attorney in New Jersey — Denied Benefits and ERISA Appeals

A short-term disability denial can leave you without income at the exact moment you need it most — recovering from surgery, managing a serious illness, or dealing with a condition that temporarily prevents you from working. At The López Firm, we represent New Jersey employees whose short-term disability claims have been wrongfully denied and help them navigate the ERISA appeal process to fight for the benefits they are owed.

Pension Attorney in New Jersey — Protecting Your Retirement Benefits

Your pension is one of the most valuable benefits you have earned over a career of hard work. When an employer, plan administrator, or government agency threatens that benefit — through a denial, a miscalculation, a forfeiture proceeding, or an outright refusal to pay — you need an attorney who understands the full complexity of pension law in New Jersey.

At The López Firm, attorney Omar A. López brings a perspective that few pension attorneys in NJ can offer: he spent years as labor counsel for two AFL-CIO union locals, handling pension disputes on behalf of workers from the inside. That experience gives him a distinct advantage in understanding how pension systems work — and how to fight them when they fail their participants.
