About Maggie
Maggie Smith is a founding partner of Disability Insurance Law Group, and has extensive experience and expertise in representing individuals nationwide in their disability insurance claims, whether filed under a personal disability insurance policy or under an employer provided insurance policy provided as an employee benefit (typically subject to ERISA). While Ms. Smith focuses her practice in disability insurance matters, she also handles long-term care insurance and life insurance claims. Maggie has a reputation with insurance companies, their in-house legal departments and those attorneys representing insurance companies in court, for aggressive representation of her clients.
Ms. Smith has been featured on a local news station, RNN-TV, regarding disability insurance and an insurance company's wrongful denial of her client's benefits. She has also been interviewed by ABC's Good Morning America regarding ERISA insurance benefit claims wrongfully denied by employers and insurance companies. Along with her other partners, Ms. Smith has actively petitioned Congress, and personally met with Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz, for much needed amendments to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Ms. Smith is a member of the Florida and New York Bars, and is admitted to practice before the Southern, Middle, and Northern District Courts of Florida, as well as the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. She is a member of the Dade County Bar Association, a member of Group for Equitable ERISA Remedies (GEER), a group dedicated to advocating changes in the law in order to improve the rights of claimants, and attends local and national seminars to remain on the cutting edge of insurance benefits law.
Ms. Smith attended the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota where she obtained her Bachelors in Social Work. She graduated from Saint Thomas University School of Law Cum Laude. While in law school, Maggie was a Merit Scholar, a Florida Bar Foundation Public Service Fellow, a member of law review and moot court, and was the recipient of other various awards and honors. Prior to becoming a founding partner of Disability Insurance Law Group, Ms. Smith worked at a national law firm in its disability insurance department, handling both ERISA and private disability insurance matters.
