After 9 years of receiving 3rd party disability benefits, the insurance company requested I do an independent medical exam. Shortly after the exam, I received a letter that my benefits would be terminated because according to the exam, I could do my work duties with no problem. This couldn't be further from the truth. I had no clue where to start trying to appeal that decision so I reached out to the Hickory Brain Injury Support Group. They referred me to Charles G Monnett III & Associates. After exchanging information via email for a short time, I started working with Matthew C. Berthold. I got Mr. Berthold all the information and contact information that he would need to begin communication with the insurance company. After one or two phone calls and getting the needed information from me he began taking care of the appeal. Most of our interaction was done through email. He prepared a well written letter in the appeal contradicting what the independent medical exam said. He knew what to look for in both correspondence from the insurance company and the independent medical exam. There was status updates from him as the appeal progress proceeded. I didn't have to have a lawyer to file the appeal but expected it would have to go to court for things to be made right and get my benefits back. Mr. Berthold with Charles G Monnett III & Associates helped me get my benefits reinstated via the appeal he filed for me. I couldn't be happier with the job he did for me not only because of the reinstatement but because he always made me feel as he cared and had things under control. Actions speak and the actions of anyone I dealt with at Charles G Monnett III & Associates were above what I would've expected. I HIGHLY recommend this firm and Matthew C. Berthold.

Lauren Newton is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Charles G. Monnett III & Associates on October 3rd 2018, the day I had my wreck. Lauren immediately called me and set into motion. She was very patient with all of my questions and concerns. A few days later I went into her office and she took the time to hear my entire story about all the details of my wreck. Throughout the entire process Lauren kept me involved & informed with every step she was taking to make sure I was taken care of. Now that my case has concluded, Lauren made sure I was happy with the outcome and the amount I was receiving from the settlement. Lauren Newton exceeded all of my expectations and she genuinely cares about her clients. Choosing Charles G. Monnett III and allowing Lauren Newton to take care of me was hands down the best decision I have ever made.
