ERISA Pension and Retirement Benefits

National ERISA Pension and Retirement Benefits Attorneys

At Martin & Bonnett PLLC, we possess extensive knowledge about the rights of employees and retirees regarding their pension, retirement and health care benefits. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 is a federal law that establishes minimum standards for voluntarily established pension and other benefit 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. We also file lawsuits for employees who do not receive benefits they are promised. 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 and settlements for her clients. In 2005, Martin & Bonnett achieved a settlement of over $11,000,000 in a case involving retirement benefits for Motorola retirees. In 2007, Martin & Bonnett obtained a $35,000,000 partial settlement against Honeywell Corporation in a case that involved retirement benefits. In 2010, Martin & Bonnett obtained a settlement against Farmers Insurance Group that provided 96 Farmers employees and retirees with 100% of the pension benefits they were denied.
