WHAT ERISA CAVALRY DOESN'T DO
Employee benefits law is vast; it contains multitudes. There are drawbacks to extreme specialization (knowing more and more about less and less until one knows everything about nothing) and its opposite (knowing less and less about more and more until one knows everything about nothing), ERISA Cavalry tries to strike a balance. Therefore, as a general rule, we don't venture into the areas listed below:
Benefits-Related Claims Arising Under State Law
Non-U.S. or Puerto Rican Retirement and Welfare Plans
Social Security and Railroad Retirement Act Benefits
Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care Act Issues
