For more than 25 years, the Law Office of Mark Scherzer (located in New
York City) has advocated on behalf of consumers, policyholders, and employees to secure their rights to health, life and disability
insurance benefits. Many of our clients have illnesses or conditions that are serious, chronic, and/or disabling, such as
multiple sclerosis, heart disease, depression, degenerative spine disease, cancer and HIV/AIDS.
We help our clients to obtain or keep appropriate coverage, navigating the transition
from employment to disability (or from disability back to work). We advocate for them when insurers or employee benefit plans
refuse to cover necessary treatments or to pay disability benefits. We have experience representing clients with a broad range
of occupations (including physicians, truck drivers, office managers, stock brokers, film editors, attorneys, financial analysts,
sales representatives, receptionists, computer/IT personnel, production managers, performing and visual artists and designers,
and corporate executives) from a wide variety of employment settings.
We also represent and protect the common interests of our clients in a number of
additional ways, by advocating with legislators and regulators for reforms in insurance law and policy; engaging in major
test case litigation on behalf of public interest groups; and speaking at policy roundtables, bar training and education programs,
and informational presentations to advocacy groups and their members. Our attorneys, Mark Scherzer and A. Christopher Wieber,
graduated from prominent law schools and trained at major law firms before devoting their professional lives to enforcing
the rights of the ill and disabled to insurance coverage and benefits. When direct advocacy with insurance companies and employee
benefit plans has failed, we have prosecuted lawsuits on behalf of our clients in both state and federal court.
