disability benefits
Post-Verdict
I was recommend to this law firm to assist me with obtaining Disability benefits. What a disaster!
At the age of 49 I was unfortunate enough to suffer a massive Hemorrhagic Stroke. My particular Brain Hemorrhage was severe enough to give me a mortality rate of 3% so I wasn’t supposed to survive the stroke, and if I did; it was anticipated that I’d be bound to a wheelchair and in need of full time assistance for the remainder of my life.
At best, I now had a Traumatic Brain Injury and the entire left side of my body was paralyzed!
I refused to accept this fate and would never admit or concede to a life like that. So I worked my butt off! At first my experience with U.D.P.C. Gave me hope that at least financially I’d be ok and be able to provide myself and small family with enough to survive. I’ve worked my entire life and always paid into Social Security just for this reason. (Not by choice, but because it’s mandatory) Given the choice, I’d have opted to invest that money personally in something that had a better and more flexible return than just a small amount of money to barely survive.
Fully anticipating something like this would never happen… But in the event it did, it gave me some comfort knowing I’d be taken care of by the government.
The process of qualifying for disability was grueling! Just the gathering of documentation and proof I had suffered the hemorrhage was beyond reasonable! I mean I was hospitalized for nearly 5 months and in the ICU for almost a month. So you’d think the records would be simple to obtain, but they were not! Especially considering my Brain was completely flooded with blood and had been suffocated long enough to cause significant damage.
Needless to say, my brain was not functioning properly and I needed help badly! Everything was confusing to me! So, in hindsight; getting the right law firm was even more important.
After a year of rounding up the required documents and proof of my hemorrhage, Ben Johnston and his team submitted my claim warning me that it’s not likely to be approved on the first submission and said it may take several submissions before Social Security would approve the claim. However, they were confident that it would be approved eventually and to just keep at it. So I did! I’m not one to give up and kept working on me, my paralyzed body and barely functioning brain. Two more times they submitted my claim resulting in a rejection. SS felt I was fine and could adequately work, however; in the real world. I could not. I’d spent most of my professional life as a police officer and could no longer pass the PT exam to qualify for and return to that job. I also built and owned an Investigative agency that was flourishing when I suffered the Brain Hemorrhage. After which over 90% of my clients were skeptical about my abilities to properly handle their cases, so my caseloads went from over 20 clients per month to about .5 per month. And the ones I did retain were from the governments “Criminal Justice Act” and paid less than half of my normal rate. But I was thankful for the work, and if I’m being honest; those are the cases that brought my brain back online! This entire time, I’m living off a “go fund me” account and my fiancé that willingly stuck with me through it all.
After the 3rd denial from Social Security, I received notice from my attorney Ben Johnston at Utah Disability Law, that they were firing me as a client and that they couldn’t represent me any longer! Just another massive blow to me!
I had spent the last three years jumping through the hoops of S.S. And diligently following the direction of this firm, only to be told there is nothing they can do for me and that I’d have to find other representation and start over!

Horrible service. I called for assistance in ADA compliancy in UT. Was told, unless it involves SSI, they literally dont care. A rep hung up on me after simply asking a question, which they should be able to answer or point in the right direction especially when they specialize in the subject. Very rude and uncaring.
