New Jersey ERISA Attorney — Fighting for Your Employee Benefits
When an insurance company or employer denies your benefits, the law that governs your fight is most likely ERISA — the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. ERISA is one of the most complex areas of federal law, and navigating it without experienced legal counsel can cost you your claim permanently. At The López Firm, we are a New Jersey ERISA law firm built around one mission: making sure employees get the benefits they earned.

Pension Attorney in New Jersey — Protecting Your Retirement Benefits
Your pension is one of the most valuable benefits you have earned over a career of hard work. When an employer, plan administrator, or government agency threatens that benefit — through a denial, a miscalculation, a forfeiture proceeding, or an outright refusal to pay — you need an attorney who understands the full complexity of pension law in New Jersey.
At The López Firm, attorney Omar A. López brings a perspective that few pension attorneys in NJ can offer: he spent years as labor counsel for two AFL-CIO union locals, handling pension disputes on behalf of workers from the inside. That experience gives him a distinct advantage in understanding how pension systems work — and how to fight them when they fail their participants.
