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.

Knowledge and Excellence

Atty. Rich Grabow came as a highly recommended workers comp attorney from another attorney who realized he would be better suited for my needs regarding a long running workers comp case. I found Atty. Grabow to be highly intelligent, honest, reliable, knowledgable, and hard working. His office comm...unicated on a regular basis, he attended all necessary hearings in a prompt and professional manner, and he was straight forward regarding his expectations on my behalf. His demeanor is such that from the initial consultation throughout a long drawn out process he remained welcoming, informative, professional, and always took time on a personal level to let you know he cared not only about the case at hand but about me personally. I have no hesitation in recommending Atty. Grabow to family and friends as he is an ultimate professional who has honored his profession with a strong work ethic, integrity, and dedication to his clients. Additionally, his staff, initially Joanna, and then his paralegal, Denise, during the the performance of their duties exceeded expectations in the area of communication, accuracy, friendliness, and compassion. They were wonderful to deal with as were all the staff at Atty. Grabow's office. I commend the whole Grabow team, as excellence at their office is just the "daily routine".

Thank you...

Attorney Grabow represented me with my workers' compensation case. I was extremely satisfied with his services. Out of five gold stars, I give him ten! I know that the people he had to deal with in connection with my case, were very challenging, to say the least.... He always kept me informed t...o the progress of my case and always answered any and all of my questions. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to do business with. His paralegal is also, very knowledgeable, professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. This was very important to me at the time, since I was stressed out . His paralegal always helped me, answered my questions and kept me going in the right direction... In the end, everything worked out well 100%, I would highly recommend this firm. If in the future I need legal counsel, I will most definitely contact them.... My many thanks to Attorney Grabow, and his paralegal!

The Best in Worker's Comp and Social Security

Atty. Grabow represented me with my Workers' Compensation Case and I was extremely pleased. My case was a complicated one and he always made sure that I was informed with what was going on with my case and always took the time either by phone or appointment to answer any questions I had. he definitel...y knows his stuff. His paralegal is also very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. She too was there for me whenever I need anything. I also asked him about social security and he explained the whole process to me in detail. I will be applying very soon and will be using his services again. He also helped my aunt with a social security case and service connected disability case and had a great outcome. We highly recommend Atty. Grabow!!!
