I was denied filing disability on my own. I found Merryl Jones as a second chance Attorney. Met up with her and she explained the process. Social Security denied me a second time and I was about to give up and she said “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” With that, she gave me the courage to keep going. Good thing because my case had a successful outcome. I highly recommend her as an attorney. I am very grateful for Miss Jones and Amanda, who is very responsive and helpful all through the process. Thank you ladies!

We were happy to help you and get you the benefits that you deserve!
My brother suffered from severe depression and was originally receiving SSDI. He tried to return to work but was unsuccessful in holding a job due to his severe mental health. He recently was diagnosed with kidney failure along with more health conditions where he could not maintain employment. He was no longer able to pay his medical bills, maintain a residence, or support himself. Out of frustration, wits end, and many doors shut in his face, he researched and connected with Merryl Jones for assistance. After selecting Merryl Jones to represent him and providing all the necessary requested medial and personal documents, he waited for some type of response. After many phone calls and left messages to Merryl Jones office, my brother became more depressed and his mental and physical health declined. My brother only wanted a follow up response and case status from Merryl Jones office and staff as this was his last resort. As Merryl Jones indicated on her website, she has a 98 percent approval rate and my brother waited and waited for a positive response. My brother would always inform me of his endless attempts to contact Merryl Jones office to no avail or response. As a result of these actions, my brother literally took a gun and blew his brains out in January of this year. Two weeks ago, I was notified by two local detectives that my brother’s decomposed body was found in his apartment where he was in the process of being evicted. The detectives informed me that his body had been in decay for some time. I am SOOOO heart broken and my family are in tears because of this situation. All my brother was asking for was some help in order to live and maintain his health. Literally all doors were closed in his face. Recently I contacted Merryl Jones office to inform of his suicide with no response. I had to literally call twice with no avail. I finally spoke to Amanda and she stated she would return my call and as of today I have not received a call. I can only IMAGINE how my brother felt. Please don’t let this happed to another client as my brother literally put his trust and faith in her office. Merryl Jones was his final attempt and cry for help. A SECOND CHANCE was all he wanted.

I mourn for you and your family in the loss of your brother. I understand from our communications that you are processing a lot of emotions right now. I will continue to pray for healing. As communicated, I will not publicly respond to the specific details of my representation and attorney-client relationship with your brother. Please know he was never and never will be forgotten by me.
I was referred to Ms Jones by a gentleman who works for the county. We spent the better part of three hours talking and me sharing my history.
She was so kind, and calm, and I felt …hopeful.
And then, we/I wait…and I was approved! I’m so grateful to Ms Jones, and a shout out for poor (lol) Amanda, who has patiently/calmly explained details about my case *multiple* times. Including this morning!
Fun fact: During my interview with Ms Jones, I happened to notice a framed Bible verse hanging on the wall right over my head.
Fear not. I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
I want to say Book of Jeremiah (?)
I remarked on it (that’s one of my favorite verses)and I said something along the lines of
Oh that is perfect! Must help people feel encouraged. And she replied that it was to encourage/remind *her* that it’s going to be fine.
An arduous wait, and things are now, indeed, fine.
*Better* than fine.
I now have support and access to medical care
Just such a great team!
Thank you so much Ms Merryl Jones, and the always unflappable, patient Amanda.
Bless you all.
I am Very Grateful and Happy with Ms. Jones. She stood by me for 4yrs!!! And Ms. Amanda is awesome also. I would Recommend Ms. Jones and her Staff to anyone who needs help with Disability. Thank You

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad that our perseverance finally paid off!
Merryl was very friendly, patient, professional, and easy to work with! She was clear and explained things very well. She never seemed rushed and was more than happy to answer all of my many questions! I highly recommend her!
Owner response
Thank you! I love helping people and especially you!
Merryl Jones truly did what she stated on her representation. She gave me a Second Chance on my claim. Ms. Jones and her staff worked tirelessly and professionally for my behalf. Thank-You very much for your help and attention to detail on my case.
If you need a highly professionally skilled attorney for your Social Security Disability claim, choose Merryl Jones. I'm glad I did and so would you, also.
* Sincerely,
A. Brandon
