I was an executive working in a small family owned finance and insurance company in the City of Philadelphia for the past 11 years. I was an integral part of the success of the various closely held companies which accrued assets in excess of $100,000,000. I eventually decided that I wanted out of the “family” business to pursue my own career path. While negotiating my buyout package, I tried to resolve my 401k and pension plan but it just seemed to muddy the negotiating waters. I felt confident that I was protected under the Federal laws of ERISA, so I decided to deal with the retirement plans at a later time. I made numerous cordial attempts to rollover my money to only later find that the CEO of the company had no intentions of ever giving me my money (as ridiculous as that may sound) and flat out said so.

I was forced to look for an ERISA lawyer to pursue my position and believe me it was not an easy search. I wanted a lawyer who was going to take a personal interest in my case and be accessible at a moment’s notice. Kim Ashbach was that very person. She listened to my concerns and we worked closely together to develop a strategy to WIN!

Kim met with the opposing attorneys head on. She was smooth, tactful and professional while always keeping her eye on the prize. After weeks of peeling the proverbial onion, she was able to expose the defense as a complete sham and nothing more than a personal vendetta against me.

After an initial contentious litigation battle, Kim secured a negotiated an extremely generous settlement for me with all of my attorney’s fees reimbursed. Kim did this all the while being personally attacked by the unprofessional defense attorneys and she was able to shield me from all of the backdoor negotiating nonsense. If you need an excellent attorney for your ERISA claim, I did the home work for you, KIM ASHBACH IS YOUR LAWYER!!!!!

I will be happy to talk to you if you need a referral. C.R.S.
