Client Review:
Mr. Ginsberg is a gentle person who doesn't make everything to technical for your to understand. When he speaks to you he makes sure you can understand what is going on and when he talks to the people who need to hear the legal jargon that when he uses it. This was very important to me because I like to understand what is going on and he made that part very simple.

I tend to be impatient but no matter how many times I called it was never as if I was bothering him. He was a real help because I had been turned down initially for my social security not understanding that this was a normal process. He made the whole process so much easier. I was glad that I didn't have to file appeals or deal with the legalities of trying to make it all work when you are sick. It is so frustrating to have to be denied without any type of sympathetic ear.

He was also very straight forward about my personal case as to whether he thought I could even get social security. I enjoyed working with him and have already recommended him to two other people.

A Lengthy Process - Thank goodness for Jonathan

Client Review:
Jonathan was an amazing help to me and my wife throughout the bankruptcy process. After I went into the hospital and subsequently lost my job, we were in a really bad position financially. I found Jonathan via a rather lengthy online search and we could not have been more fortunate (and pleased) in the representation we received.

We were ostensibly over the income limit (i.e. a presumption of abuse) for a chapter 7 filing, but our debt was so large that a chapter 11 would never have worked in our case. I thought we were in a hopeless situation…but Jonathan worked with us and spend an incredible amount of time understanding our situation and examining our debt load. He then researched a large number of court cases to find case law to support inclusion of our student loans. He stuck with us through the entire process – including a meeting with the US Trustee – and we’ve recently heard that they will not be pursuing a motion to dismiss (which is a very good thing). We’d definitely use Jonathan again (although, given the circumstances, we hope that we never have to)…

Client Review:
Filing for SS disability is a completely overwhelming process, especially when you are sick! I had no idea where to begin. After researching many different sources, I purchased Mr. Ginsberg's Disability Answer Guide. I am so glad that I did. It spells out the process for you, including samples of how to fill things out. This is crucial for me. His website is also a wealth of information on SS disability.
I had some additional questions & emailed Jonathan. He actually called me on the phone and talked me through my concerns for quite a long time. I had already bought the guide; he had nothing to gain from helping me further. We have corresponded by email after that. I would bet that there are many people who have hired lawyers that don't get responses like that.
I am only sorry that I don't live in Atlanta and could have him for my lawyer! If you do live there, hire him and count your blessings! I cannot find any one comparable in my town!

Client Review:
Through over five years of hospital and doctor treatments, dealing with attorneys with workers compensation, and after years of misery, I had the pleasure of working with Mr Ginsberg. For my case of disability he had my history in order that proved a quick success to a favorable decision that very day with Social Security. He is a man that listens to your words. I thank him for understanding of my situation and recommend him to anybody needing a competent attorney. Thank you Mr Ginsberg, I appreciate your help.

Very Professional & "Down to earth"

Mr Ginsberg has been assisting me through a very difficult situation.
His knowledge of the Law and personable communication of my options made the process much more tolerable than I could have ever expected. His preparation & representation at the creditors hearing was flawless and even though my name is near the end of the alphabet, we were able to move to the top of the list and have our meeting first. A comment was made as to the completeness of our document(S).

Client Review:
Mr. Ginsberg has a professional, top flight law practice in metro Atlanta. After being denied my initial disability claim, I located this firm and glad I did. I was impressed with the responsiveness, care, and strategic planning provided by his team during the appeals process. With multiple medical procedures there were multiple medical setbacks that left me with nothing to look forward too. My disability appeal would have been a long-shot if it wasn't for Mr. Ginsberg ensuring that I was prepared. Prior to my disability hearing, we met to discuss my case. Mr. Ginsberg knew understood the medical challenges that I faced and was fully aware of my case. We discussed the hearing procedures, format, and types of questions to expect. In my opinion, I found Mr. Ginsberg to be trustworthy, dedicated, and honest with respect to my case. As a result, of his legal acumen we prevailed with a successful outcome resulting in a fully favorable decision.

I wold recommend Jonathan Ginsberg for your Social Security disability case.

Client Review:
John Ginsberg is the most honest attourney that we have ever interfaced with. He walked my husband and I through the entire process regarding his disability case. He was always available when we had questions. He made our experience seemless! Thank you Mr. Ginsberg. I wish that all attourneys could be as honest and proffessional as you.

Client Review:
Applying for Social Security benefits for a loved one can be a complex and overwhelming task, even for a CPA like myself, with all the forms requested and confusing description of "disability". Luckily, I stumbled upon Jonathan Ginsberg's Disability Answer Guide before I started my application.

I was quickly put at ease with the VAST WEALTH of FREE GUIDANCE from an expert attorney specializing in this practice. The process, timelines, tips and pitfalls were clarified, not in legalese, but in easy to understand language and via an outline of actionable steps and form templates.

Reading Ginsberg's words inspired confidence like that given by a success coach to prepare and win approval on the initial filing. For an attorney who is not poised to gain any $ unless the case goes to hearing, I didn't expect any response to my "contact form question" until at least 24-48 hours. But to my amazement and surprise, Mr. Ginsberg exceeded all expectations and responded almost immediately via email. His insight, expertise and concern were evident in his response. I now consider the application less daunting knowing I have a valuable resource to count on who helps others in similar difficult situations.

For these reasons, I highly recommend Jonathan Ginsberg to anyone planning to apply for SSI / SSDI.

Client Review:
I have had the good fortune to discover a rare find: Attorney Jonathan C. Ginsberg. I am a professional in another line of work and I have dealt with many attorneys during my career. In the recent past and unbeknownst to Jonathan Ginsberg, I was also a known source of advice for individuals in similar circumstances that we fell into ourselves. From where I stand, Jonathan Ginsberg has earned the title of “honorable.”

The situation: We had a serious deadline looming on our son’s SSA-SSI appeal for reconsideration and Jonathan Ginsberg readily stepped in to assist me with it. He was focused, concerned, responded without delay and compassionate about our issues at hand. Jonathan Ginsberg literally held my hand and line by line we dealt with every daunting issue in our son’s appeal. And he worked until we had it all in hand. That alone says a lot about Jonathan Ginsberg and his commitment to the product and/or service he provides. I was not only more than pleased to find Jonathan’s website to be an educational and actually quite useful location , I also discovered Jonathan himself supporting his product and me, an otherwise overwhelmed, in-the-dark consumer. It is an all in one stop that cannot be found anywhere nowadays.

The application for reconsideration has since been filed. We do not know what the outcome may be. That is another day. But a treasure just as invaluable as having had the assistance of Jonathan Ginsberg in this particular instance is the relief and peace that my family has now. Because of our experience with Jonathan Ginsberg, our son’s file is now completely updated, organized and stands readily available for others to refer to in the event that we are no longer able to.

Had we found Jonathan Ginsberg earlier, we could have saved an indeterminable amount of time, money and stress resolving what he did for my son without further complexity and worries. It would be without hesitation and our great pleasure, if there is anyone who may be considering the services of an attorney in this area, we would recommend highly an attorney with honor, ethics, and reliability: Jonathan Ginsberg. Jonathan Ginsberg has surpassed any of our expectations of an attorney. It just does not get any better than this.

Glad we saw Jonathan C. Ginsberg's website
