A real attorney who knows disability law thoroughly, and gave me my life back!

AGNES WLADYKA, ESQ., is a God-send and I am NOT exaggerating! Agnes explained the law and processes to me thoroughly. She has a calming voice; when we spoke all my anxieties subsided immediately, and I did not worry about who I had handling my future! I fought NJ for almost 8 years to receive my b...enefits. Where everyone failed, Agnes did not. When it came time for my hearing, her calming voice kept my emotions settled, and head clear to answer the judges' questions. Agnes knew my case better than I did, and I am the one living it. To accurately explain her: amazing, genuinely sincere, HONEST, hardworking, knowledgeable, and she did not steal 1/3 of my pay like most attorneys. Agnes was (still is) my answer to winning my case. She gave me my hope and future back when all other attorneys focused on their salary. The past two years working with her has been a dream come true. I recommend Agnes to truly sick people who desperately need their disability benefits to survive! Agnes is the last REAL attorney on the market. It is wise you contact her if you have already received an Unfavorable Decision from NJ Social Security Disability Administration. All hope is, NOT lost when Agnes is on your side! Thank you Agnes, I am still crying with happiness and relief thanks to you!

Unreserved Praise For Agnes Wladyka

I want to express my deep admiration and respect for the professionalism Ms. Wladyka approached my case. They are matched only by the appreciation I feel for the sensitivity and caring she demonstrated for what was important to me as a person, not merely a client. She always took time to explain ever...y nuance of things that were happening, or might, and without fail reached out to make sure I understood. More importantly, at least to me, she always checked to make sure I was doing ok. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Agnes to my closest family member, or to a complete stranger.

Everything you want in an Attorney, plus much, much more!

It was a wonderful relief for me to know and to feel that I was not alone in the daunting and humbling task of applying for disability. It was a great stess reliever to know that I had an extremely knowledgeable, competent, trustworthy, personable, responsive, empathic, and supportive attorney who ha...d my back. Agnes is not only a great attorney, but also a wonderful person who made the whole process of applying for disability one of ease. Once I received the forms to complete, I was immediately overwhelmed, but Agnes made herself available via email and telephone to answer any and all questions including the times I called at 5pm! I was not just a number with Agnes, as she truly cares and listens. I was able to feel confident that Agnes was always handling my case in my best interest and that only the best outcome would prevail. Due to my illness, I was forced to move back with my parents. It was my birthday and I was not feeling the happiest on that day due to my circumstances. But, this feeling of despair didnt last for long as I was dumb founded when I received a Birthday card in the mail from Agnes that day! I couldnt believe that she had remembered my birthday and actually took time out of her busy schedule to send me a personalized card. My mood quickly changed from sad to one of deep gratitude. I am extremely thankful for having Agnes as my attorney, and for having her in my life as she has touched it with so many positive and uplifting experiences during such a trying time.
