Social Security nightmare to SSD WIN

I used Attorney Richard Grabow for my Social Security Disability Attorney. It took almost 4 years of denials to Hearings and the state's medical experts denials to finally winning my Social Security Disability. Which I thought was never going to happen but having a lawyer who knew the SSD law and is ...patient but firm when it came to my SSD case is a plus. He not only got me my SSD but also the back retroactive money from the day I applied. I will recommend Attorney Grabow too any friends or family member's who suddenly or not become disable and need help. Thanks Attorney Richard Grabow we finally won thank you.

Social Security Disability

I have a serious illness, and was having difficulty on the job because of it. I didn't know how much longer I could do it. I applied for SSDI on my own and was denied twice. I decided to hire an attorney, and someone recommended Richard Grabow. His office was diligent about obtaining the needed pape...rwork, and the attorney had several meetings with me to discuss my case. I was prepared for an uphill battle because of the type of illness I have. When Social Security denied me those two times, they made it sound as if I had no illness at all. Attorney Grabow is smart and well spoken. When we had the hearing, Mr. Grabow was clear and concise with his opening statement, conveying most of the pertinent information to the judge. I was only asked a few questions, and then the judge did something rare: he approved my benefits on the spot. It is such a relief that I won't have to struggle as much with financial matters while fighting with a stubborn illness. I highly recommend Mr. Grabow to anyone who is in in similar circumstances.
