Tom Albin

I met Tom through CT Legal Services. I was going to be evicted & thrown in the street with my pets. A 53 yr. old disabled woman who has lived here going on 6yrs. He is very kind & humble person who genuinely cares. He took care of everything and handled it in a professional manner. He was " Always ..." there when I called or texted and spoke with me about my case right away. Very trustworthy and honest lawyer and proud to call him a friend.. Thank you Tom for saving my home for me & my family.

Attorney Thomas Albin

Attorney Thomas Albin’s extensive knowledge of Social Security law and professional experience obtained a “Fully Favorable” judgment decision on my case which extended over a two year period. Attorney Albin advised me on how to fill out all necessary paperwork in a manor that put me at ease and had a...ll my questions answered. His professional experience made the personal side of the matter more tolerable. Attorney Albin’s communications practices were far superior to anyone I have ever worked with. Tom ALWAYS answered questions within less than a ten hour period, most were done online in minutes; to include nights and weekends. His personal rapport created a feeling of mutual trust and understanding, this put my wife and I at ease during this trying time because we knew he was totally committed to our cause . Not only was his integral knowledge of Social Security law impressive, but his understanding and experience with the independent vocational specialist made the hearing go smooth and easy for our side. Attorney Albin is well versed in the entire hearing process and calm demeanor makes it very easy to build a solid rapport with anyone seeking his counsel. I would without reservation recommend attorney Thomas Albin to represent anyone in a Social Security case.

My New Best Friend

I just got My FULLY FAVORABLE Decision from SSDI and it never would have happened if I didn't have Tom Albin representing Me. Other Lawyers said the Judge would never give it to Me because it would have meant He would have had to reverse His original decision but Tom's hard work and the truth and ho...nesty won My case. His calming effect and His sense of humor put Me at ease and things worked out. Thank You Tom, Embry and Neusner's Law Firm should be proud to have You on their Team.

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!
