Nationwide ERISA Retirement Benefits Claims Lawyers

At Martin & Bonnett PLLC, we possess extensive knowledge about the rights of employees and retirees regarding their pension, retirement and health care and disability 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 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 denied benefits claims or 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 and Fortune 500 companies in order to force them to be responsible for providing promised pension, health and other benefits.

The Need for EXPERIENCED ERISA Claims Representation — Susan J. Martin

Handling the administrative and legal matters regarding your pension and retirement, health or disability benefits and your rights under ERISA without an experienced ERISA attorney is unwise and may actually harm your chances for 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 multimillion dollar cases 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 million dollar 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. Martin & Bonnett also achieved a settlement of over $7,000,000 for Western Conference of Teamsters retirees. Susan Martin and Martin & Bonnett handle ERISA-related cases throughout the United States and have been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and several other national news publications.
