Alan Edward Kassan
“Great attorney
I hired Alan after my disability company wrongfully terminated my benefits, assuming I would just crawl away with my tail between my legs. Alan was able to get them to reinstate me and nailed them for a lump sum for bad faith practices. If your disability company pulls sneaky crap on you… hire Alan....Don’t fight them yourself!”
Biography
Alan Edward Kassan is Of Counsel to Dorian Law P.C. He has practiced law for four decades. His early practice centered around business, real estate and insurance law.
For the last 20 years, however, he has focused on representing plaintiffs whose health related insurance benefits have been denied. This includes benefits for life insurance, long term care insurance, long term disability insurance, and health insurance claims when those benefits have been wrongfully denied.
