BEWARE-HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED

Mr. Arruda is absolutely the worst. He never followed through on my SSD claim. He doesn’t respond to emails nor phone calls and doesn’t answer questions. He blamed his staff for missing my hearing deadline and has cost me years of running around fulfilling my obligations to not receive any answer...s. He doesn’t follow through on any commitments, concerns about his practice, etc. Don’t be fooled by him as he will set high expectations but doesn’t deliver. Please, please don’t fall into the trap of his game. There is so many other attorneys that actually care, conduct themselves professionally and actually do the job that they are supposed to do.

Please don't sign with him !

Worst decision I made was to hire him on a disability case . Promises you everything before you sign contract then he goes radio silence for months . Multiple employees come and go and there is no one quarter backing your case . I did everything on my own with no help from him - I voiced my displeasu...re with him multiple times hoping things would change but it actually got worse . I hope you read my review before it's too late ,otherwise I feel sorry for you !

Do not recommend!!!!

Failed to keep in contact with me about my case. Didn't make me a priority. i Sent multiple emails to him in which he never responded to. Every time I'd call him he was too busy for me and made sure each phone call was shortened very quickly. Got no answers about my case. And then I find out he hasn'...t even looked at my case since December of 2020. It's may 2021. Very unprofessional and doesn't follow through with ANYTHING! WASTE OF MY TIME ON A VERY SENSITIVE MATTER!!!
