A do-nothing

Supposed to handle my Social Security disability case. Did not even submit the filled out and signed SS forms I sent to him for review! Weeks later, I got a call from Social Security local office and had to re-do the application in person. Never notified me of next steps, could reach him for month...s on end..he was a waste, as I was on my own, doing all the work, dealing with doctors who didn't give a damn about me and didn't take me seriously, getting all my instructions from disability determination instead of my lawyer!! My claim was rejected thanks in part to his failure to do a damn thing! I fired him today!
