Parent of a disabled young adult

I was referred to Tom for my sons' SSD case from the Connecticut Legal Rights Project. I found him to be honest, knowledgeable and calming when times got tough. He also personally understands what it is like to have a disabled child to fight for. After 30 months, 3 appeals, 2 lawyers (yes, he was ...the second one - the other chose not to take our case) and 2 hearings we finally won our case and my son will now have a much better quality of life than he has been living these past few years. This would never have happened without having Tom Albin involved. Thanks sooo very much, Tom!

An excellent experience

I was very nervous about my Social Security Disability case. I had no idea what to expect. Tom prepared me very well, explaining each step of the process. He put my mind at ease with his gentle nature and wealth of experience. I was very lucky to have found him.

One Of The Best In The Business

Atty Albin was highly recommended to me by one of his colleagues and I was not disappointed. Atty Albin handled my SSDI case and from the first interview on, I found him to be extremely knowledgable, very candid, and most important he showed total commitment to my case. The whole SSDI process is ment...ally taxing and nervewracking to say the least but I never really felt that way after Tom took my case. The end result was an SSDI award and I am completely convinced that I would still be in the appeals process were it not for Tom's dedication and hard work. He accompanied me to not one but two ALJ hearings and had my case pretty much memorized going into both hearings. His representation in court was simply artful. He knew exactly how to to handle a vocational expert who is not your friend at a hearing and had an outstanding rapport with the judge and everyone in the Social Security office. I not only recommend Atty Albin but would go as far as to say that you can't afford to not have him represent you. Completely trustworthy, hard working, knowledgeable, and calming in SSDI cases that can be frightening and emotionally draining. If you have a SSDI case pending and have no representation I would urge you to contact Atty Albin. He is a difference maker!

knowlegeable & Responsive

Tom helped me with a social security case. I not only found him to be very knowledgeable but very calming. I had the utmost confidence in him and found the entire episode less stressful because of him
