Outstanding Professional

Attorney Grabow represented me for my Social Security Disability case. He handled every detail in a most professional manner making sure to fully explain the process and answer all questions I had. He was always available to speak with me and was exceptional in coaching me through the court process.... I am extremely grateful for all the work that he did on my behalf and would recommend Attorney Grabow to anyone in need of an extremely professional and experienced attorney. Thank you Attorney Grabow for all that you did.

Best there is hands down!

I apply for social security with multiple medical problems but lack of knowledge. Was denied. Appealed and denied again. I sat wit attorney grabow stated my case gave him my paperwork. He is so well Knowledged about social security he was right away able to point out why i not only QUALIFIED and met... the listing but should have been approved. It was a long and lengthy process which you cant avoid, (it just the way the system works). Day of my hearing he spoke and prepared me for what would be said and asked of me and it went just like he said. I should have been approved at the first hearing with him. He felt great about it went and said you will be approved. The judge seemed that way also, but the judge decided added a vocational examiners letter to see if i was able to work with my condition. He appealed and at the next hearing there was a medical examiner who did nothing but work for ss and say if he belives you qualify or not. This “doctor” claimed i did not meet the listing at all and there was no evidence. He drilled this doctor with all the facts and made him eat his own words. It was amazing. It was like on tv and you have the lawyer who nails the bad guy for life! He had me with a big grin after the hearing and said to me, “at the end of the hearing that judge said you meet and qualified”. Sure enought 2 weeks later i was sent an approved letter with a fully favorable decision from social security. This is a long and hard road and i could not have done it without him. As long as you be patient he will do anything and everything and he knows alot! I was so skeptical at winning and here i am 2 years later about to recive my first check. Hire him! Hands down the best!

Disabled Patient

I hired attorney Grabow to handle my disability case. I had been unsuccessful on my own. He informed me that it wasn't a easy case to win. He was very diligent with working with me gathering all my pertinent information. Without him I would have never been granted my disability.
