How Our LTD Lawyers in Kingston Can Help with Your Claim
The intersection of medical evidence and insurance policy requirements creates a technical landscape that most disability claimants find difficult to face alone. At Matthews Abogado Long-Term Disability, our LTD lawyers in Kingston bridge this divide through evidence-focused representation that transforms denied claims into approved benefits.
Many Kingston residents with legitimate disabilities discover that insurers expect documentation that their treating physicians may not routinely provide in standard clinical practice. Our legal team addresses this disconnect by implementing targeted evidence-development strategies. We provide effective representation for clients with numerous disabling conditions, including:
- Depression & Anxiety
- Chronic Pain
- COVID-19 Long Haulers
- COVID-19-related depression and mental health issues
- Fibromyalgia
- Bipolar & Mood Disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Cancer & Post-Cancer Treatment Recovery
- Stroke
- Critical Illness
- Brain Injury
- Arthritis
- Addiction
- Psychosis
Our Kingston disability lawyers work collaboratively with your healthcare providers to obtain appropriately detailed functional assessments, translate clinical findings into occupational limitations language, and document disability duration projections that satisfy policy requirements. We manage all insurer communications, prepare structured appeals that directly address denial rationales, and represent your interests in settlement negotiations or litigation when necessary.

Why Choose Matthews Abogado Long-Term Disability as Your Long-Term Disability Lawyer in Kingston?
Strategic Evidence Development
Our LTD lawyers in Kingston identify and address evidence gaps that undermine otherwise valid disability claims, including specific policy-relevant limitations that standard medical records often fail to adequately address. We implement systematic approaches to obtain precisely targeted supplemental evidence that directly responds to insurer requirements. Our team works effectively with healthcare providers to translate clinical observations into functional limitation language that satisfies policy definitions.
Definition Transition Management
We can address the critical “change of definition” period when many initially approved claims face termination threats. This includes developing comprehensive evidence packages designed to address the transition from “own occupation” to “any occupation” assessment standards. Our lawyers document how specific limitations prevent successful performance even in theoretically suitable alternative occupations. We regularly counter insurance company vocational assessments that identify supposedly appropriate positions without considering practical accessibility factors.
Settlement Optimization
Our Kingston team implements negotiation strategies that regularly secure favourable claim resolutions without extended litigation. We use procedural and evidence strengths to maintain advantageous positions throughout settlement discussions. Our lawyers identify and counter common insurance company negotiation tactics designed to minimize legitimate benefit entitlements. This negotiation capability ensures your disability claim receives appropriate valuation even when resolution occurs outside formal litigation channels.
Administrative Relief
We manage technical claim requirements that often overwhelm individuals already dealing with health challenges. Our administrative support includes coordinating medical documentation from multiple providers into coherent evidence packages. We handle all deadline monitoring, submission requirements, and procedural compliance to prevent technical issues from undermining substantive claim strengths. We also manage all insurance company communications, shielding you from stressful direct interactions while ensuring consistent claim positioning.

I’ve always wanted to serve and help people
Service to others matters to me. I have always been a problem solver. After completing my graduate degree in neuroscience, I worked in research studying the environmental causes of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
I pursued a career in law to help others solve legal problems. My passion for science and medicine led me to work on cases involving people facing medical issues, injuries, and disabilities.
Within 6 years I became a partner at Matthews Abogado LLP in Toronto. My service to others continues and I remain deeply committed to helping people. I strive to demonstrate the highest level of care, compassion in every Long Term Disability (LTD) case I manage.

It’s about making things right for you and your family
I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer to defend people’s rights, to right injustices on a personal level. After earning an Hon. B.Sc. at the University of Toronto, I entered the University of Ottawa Common Law program and was called to the bar in 2009.
Since then, I’ve successfully negotiated, litigated and arbitrated countless cases. I have the unique perspective of having acted for both injured persons and insurance companies. That deep understanding of the inner workings of the insurance industry gives me a strategic advantage to most effectively advocate for my client’s rights.
Away from my work, I try my best to keep fit, travel and enjoy great food and wine with my family and friends.

My journey has always involved helping those in need.
While obtaining my psychology degree, I witnessed the pain that all disability, but particularly mental-health disability can have on a person’s ability to work. Now as a lawyer, I defend the rights of victims and help navigate them through the overwhelming process of being approved for or appealing the denial of disability benefits.
With the pandemic behind us, I have seen many hard-working Canadians suffer from the psychological aftermath of the last few years. While I represent clients with all types of disability, I have a keen interest in helping those who cannot work due to stress or anxiety related disorders, depressive disorders, or post-traumatic stress disorders.
Having a background in insurance law has allowed me to learn the language of insurance companies to the benefit of my clients. I hope to continue providing fair and effective legal representation for clients for years to come.
