Phoenix Arizona Pension and Retirement Benefits and ERISA Claims Attorneys

At Martin & Bonnett PLLC in Phoenix, Arizona, we possess extensive knowledge about the rights of employees and retirees regarding their pension, retirement and health care benefits. Few law firms representing employees and retirees and no one in the Phoenix area match our knowledge, or experience with ERISA and labor law matters.

Administrative Claims Through ERISA

Before a lawsuit is filed, we will help you with any mandatory administrative claim procedure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974. This federal law establishes minimum standards for voluntarily established pension and other benefits plans in the private sector. In addition to various rules that an employer must follow, ERISA also provides the rights for participants to sue for benefits and any breach of fiduciary duty.

Representing You in the Administrative and Legal Processes

We represent clients whose corporate employers have amended plans, and in the process, deprived employees of benefits guaranteed by ERISA. We help you file a claim and an appeal in the administrative claim process. The claims review and appeal process may be followed by a lawsuit if benefits cannot be obtained. At Martin & Bonnett PLLC, we have battled high-profile companies in order to force them to be responsible for providing promised pension, health and other benefits.

The Need for Seasoned ERISA Claims Representation - Susan J. MArtin

Handling the administrative and legal matters regarding your retirement benefits and ERISA rights without the experience that we can provide is unwise and may actually harm your chances of a full recovery of all benefits you may be entitled to receive. You can lose important legal rights by failing to make all arguments available to you during a claim and appeal process.  Susan J. Martin, one of the managing partners, is a nationally known ERISA lawyer, having won numerous million and multi-million dollar verdicts for her clients.  In 2007, Susan Martin won a $35,000,000 partial settlement against Honeywell Corporation in case that involved retirement benefits.  Susan Martin handles ERISA related cases throughout the United States and has been featured in the New York Times along with several other national news publications.
