Helped me win my case and I’m very thankful for all the help I received. I feel like I didn’t have to do much of anything, they got my medical records and everything needed for court.

I was able to sit in and listen to the way they treated my friend- who has traumatic brain injury and am appalled. How this woman works with disabled people is beyond me. No empathy or understanding.. big pass.. wow
Owner response
Hi Mary. There may be a way you can help your friend. If he or she is unable to communicate effectively with a representative, you could run point for them. We represent many people with TBI, and often encourage friends and relatives to help - with the consent of the client of course.

I spent many hours and days trying to hire them to represent me for my disability case and in the end they wouldn't let me hire them until I had rounded up all the paperwork for them. I have traumatic brain injury which is why I am disabled and told them I needed help and they said that I would have to gather all the information myself. I have had other lawyers for disability before and they ALWAYS have done the paperwork. I find it really messed up to make disabled people looking for help do all the leg work so you can take 30% of their money. The lawyer herself was really nice and helpful when I spoke with her but as soon as a receptionist became my point of contact it came down to me having to do EVERYTHING just to hire them. Would have loved to work with the lawyer as she was very nice and accommodating but having such a crazy barrier to entry as making the disabled clients that are paying you do the leg work is unethical to me. EDIT: After I wrote this review the receptionist called me back to have the lawyer get on the phone and talk down to me, demean me. Literally saying, "im not here to talk about what happened or argue, do you want my help or not?" I explained that all I wanted to do was explain my experience with her staff and move on if she was willing but she kept interrupting me dangle her help over my head. I am shocked at the way the lawyer treated me and her lack of ability to listen to a complaint about HER staff being negligent and rude to disabled customers. Additionally she "didn't recall" 2 of the 3 previous conversations and constantly interrupted me to say she never said certain things. Just really really wild experience all around, no accountability, no apologies, just her trying to act like shes above me and I should be begging and gravelling to her and her rude staff. Funny cause if you read my first comment, the THREE conversations I had with her went great. Really weird that out of no where she denies having them with me. I would not recommend anyone hire this law firm for anything, let alone something as sensitive as disabilities as they have ZERO social skills when working with the disabled and just as little compassion. Very happy I got to see how they act before paying them anything.

I am sorry we were unable to help you Sir Matthias. I just wanted to clarify that my office DOES gather all the medical records, doctors' opinions and lay evidence for our clients. That needs to be done, however, BEFORE the hearing. You attempted to hire us after you attended your disability hearing unrepresented. We may still have been able to help with an appeal, but at a minimum I would have needed to first review the ALJ's decision to determine if there was legal error. For anyone seeking legal assistance with a Social Security disability claim, you should do so as early in the process as possible, and certainly prior to the hearing. For anyone seeking assistance with an appeal after the hearing, you would benefit from being able to provide a copy of the hearing decision and your file to the attorney you seek to hire. A disc of your file is usually provided at or before the hearing. If you do not have one, you can now access your file electronically. Start by contacting your local SSA office. Not all cases are appealable (although in my experience most are). An appellate attorney usually needs to see the records to determine if they wish to represent you. I wish you the best Sir Matthias. Be well.

So, again I will state my attorney experience was great and my case was won!! However, today the phone service was inadequate. I had a follow up question. I am a former client. I will NOT refer any more business to Steve's practice. The receptionist claims she is a paralegal. I didn't want her helping me any further. The next person to get on the phone didn't know the difference between ssdi and ssi and said to call Steve at home since my mother knew him and was rude. Conveniently enough, my previous message was removed. Fix your front end, it's out of control. **So now that you took the time to respond me, which my question is not specific to my $ amount I receive. Had my phone called be routed to someone who knew the difference between ssdi and ssi you would have gathered this. My file did not need to be pulled, which you don't have. As we know SS office has workers who don't know of how previously awarded aged cases work or they give mixed info. My question was in general that could have easily been providedd if given to a proper person. The question was based on permanent disability and being told I will never go to work and I am reviewed every 7 years. That's as permanent as one can get right? Lol. So my question is, that there are different retirement ages and amounts. This goes for anyone, hence the general question. I would reckon I am not getting my highest amount as I didn't retired at the last age possible though I am permanently disabled, because they keep changing the ages. This being an older case. I would imagine you all would have a general answer on the 62, 65, or 75 age that I should be receiving as permanently disabled/retired. Real simple. What is the payment based off. Considering you all got a 3rd in that time period you would know what pay scale they used and why. 🙄 Next time have someone take a message. It could have been done off the year and how they configured a payment compared to 2021. I am not sure, again hence my call. Maybe I should have been awarded more and you all payed more. Again, hence my call. No need to answer now, a qualified paralegal is getting back to me. They were kind enough to understand the frustration with getting a straight answer from ss and you all my previous attorney. They were more then happy and I sent them a new client.
Owner response
Hi Shimmer. Your review raises an important issue that all clients should be aware of. After we finish representation and you have been awarded benefits, we close your file and are no longer able to access your Social Security file. This is a good thing for privacy reasons. I understand that you called with questions about the amount of your benefits several years after we won your case and closed your file. This is the type of information that you can access directly from SSA. I would try calling your local SSA office, or contact them through ssa.gov. In my experience the 800# is not helpful, but your local SSA office is. Be well.

I spoke with Ann today. I had a complex question and she was awesome helping me find the answer. She was very kind and concerned. I surely appreciated the time she spent helping me. Thank you.
They have been amazing to work with. Super on top of everything and makes the process so much easier and more manageable.
