Less really can be more!

Received a frantic call last week from a gentleman referred by another attorney.   Lets call this gentleman John. John is a truck driver, and he is classified as a “casual driver with benefits.”  But, after informing his employer that he would be needing a hip replacement soon, he was promptly demoted to “casual driver without benefits.”

John called in a panic – as you can imagine.  He needed his health insurance.  To us it sounded like a lower level manager made an uninformed bad decision.  We recommended John first reach out to HR before involving us.

Last night I received an email from John informing that HR reinstated his benefits, and thanking us for saving the day.  We did not charge John – of course!

Sometimes, less really is more.

Happy holidays!
