Cynthia I. Chiefa, Esq.:

I am a litigation attorney with a paralyzed right vocal cord. My treating physician has placed me on vocal rest and said after the 7 years since my condition I can no longer practice law or work in any capacity involving extensive speaking. NML says I have no limitation and are refusing me any benefits at all on an occupation specific policy I purchased almost 30 years ago. My appeal has been denied.
