Law Office of Dennis A. Palso, P.A.

I recently reached out to Mr. Palso's office with a question about a post-award issue concerning Social Security Disability. Since my claim had already been approved, I made it clear from the start that I wasn’t seeking to retain legal representation, just some clarification and legal guidance. I was fully prepared to pay for his time, but to my surprise and gratitude, he took the time to speak with me over the phone without charging a fee. Not only did he patiently and thoroughly explain the relevant laws and processes, but he did so with incredible kindness, clarity, and professionalism. His deep knowledge of Social Security law was immediately evident, and he never once made me feel rushed or as though my questions were unimportant. What truly blew me away was what happened next - he followed up with a detailed email the next day, carefully summarizing everything we had discussed and providing additional insights and legal advice, again completely free of charge. It was clear he genuinely cared about helping me understand my rights and how to move forward, even though there was no financial incentive for him to do so. Mr. Palso is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled, he's also a truly remarkable human being. His compassion and integrity came through very clearly in my interaction with him. I am truly impressed and deeply grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a dedicated and trustworthy legal professional. This is exactly the kind of person anyone would want in their corner.

I was referred to this attny for work comp by a neighborhood website. I have a speach disorder. Mr. Palso told me he didnt care about anything i was saying that i had 10 seconds to tell him how the accident happened, interrupting me to tell me i had 5 seconds left. Ok, even without a speach disorder, you cant give details of accident. I would not recommend unless you can talk real fast and he sure was not what you would call personable. I hu... And within 20 min, retained a very cordial law firm who did not give me a time frame to state my accident.

Fantastic lawyer that got my case settled fast!

Found myself in need of a Workers Comp attorney. After viewing 22 different law firms and attorneys and reading reviews, I called Mr. Palso, the best I can say is outstanding legal work. From the first interview to the mediation hearing, every single question or issue was covered. His experience was easy to see. His knowledge was almost uncanny. He knew where the mediation was going and guided us to it. I walked away with more than I thought and was very happy. You can not do better than Dennis Palso in the Bayarea for workers comp issues.

I could not be any happier with how wonderful its been to deal with Mr Palso and his team. Very detail oriented and always on top of your case. Ive gotten reminders of appts i needed to make and you really feel a sense of comradery working with them. I never once felt they were just telling me what i wanted to hear and if anything they are brutally honest when they need to be which is quite refreshing. I would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a workers compensation case such as i am

I have never been one for writing reviews, I have always considered them biased, prearranged, or simply falsified from someone paid to boost sales by offering fake reporting. This review is an honest testimony to the Palso Law Firm and certain individuals that have blessed my life and I want to share that blessing with anyone seeking help for benefits from Social Security or any legal advice needed in the future. Background – I am a disabled veteran that served 2 combat tours (Panama 89 – Kuwait 90 – 91) and hired an attorney that I trusted to complete my VA disability compensation. Once my compensation benefits were filed, I asked my VA attorney if I may file for other benefits that I could possibly qualify for and was told that I may qualify for social security benefits, and I should file. Needless to say, after 10 months I was denied. I informed my VA attorney and was referred to the Palso Law Firm to start the process of social security benefits at the age of 53. Originally, I was not happy with this and wanted my VA attorney to handle my application to the SSA due to the extreme and complex process of dealing with the SSA. As a veteran, my benefits from the VA were straight forward, I served, I got injured, I deserve the benefits that are entitled to me. But, with the Social Security Administration, they have complicated rules that are in many ways against us receiving any kind of benefits until you reach the “retirement age” and this includes disability compensation. I voiced my negative opinion to my VA attorney about not handling my Social Security claim and was told that “If I recommend them, you can be sure I trust them to take care of you”. Reluctantly, I took his advice and hired the Palso Law Firm (best decision ever). From beginning to end – the process of filing, the paperwork / documentation required and any questions I had were answered quickly and explained to me in detail throughout the entire process. I never had to wait for an answer and all my emails were answered within a day throughout the process. The SSA and filing for any type of benefits is a lengthy process, especially for disability compensation. After some time, 13 months or so, I received a conference call from Dennis Palso and Michelle Villa informing me that a Judge has made a ruling concerning my case. I was informed that the Judge would approve my claim under certain conditions. The conditions were that I would receive benefits but no retroactive payments – meaning the 19 months I waited would not be paid to me. My first thought was “damn, I need that money”. I asked Mr. Palso why I couldn’t receive that backpay! He informed me that I could refuse the Judges offer and take it to court to offer testimony of my condition. This required a lot of governmental testing, exams, disability reports that could possibly hurt my case and I could lose the current offer in this time-consuming process. He informed me that it was my decision, and he would support me in the decision that I would make. I thought about it, and it hit me, his compensation! I asked him, how do you get paid if I take the current offer without the backpay? He paused and said, “I don’t”. I quickly did the math, he would lose a lot of money in compensation recovery, money already spent, time and resources. I asked him what does he recommend? To my surprise, he recommended that I take the current offer due to the possible risk of losing in the long run. I told him that it wasn’t fair to him and if I took the deal, I would somehow pay him his fee over time. He said, “my job is to get you your social security approved, and I accomplished that – sometimes I win, sometimes I lose”. Tears rolled down my face and I couldn’t even speak. It’s very rare you find an attorney like this and a firm that lives by higher standards than we are familiar with. Thanks so much to the Palso Law Firm - particularly to Dennis and Michelle!
