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!

The Lady that Saved My Life.............

Ms Wladyka is the most caring, understanding, and compassionate individual I have yet to meet in my life. Let me explain. I've had 3 back surgery's in the past 4 years, 2 last year alone. I realized in June of 2010 that I will never be able to return to work. I was still collecting workman's compensa...tion at the time but I feared that to will come to an end, leaving me with no money coming in for my bills. Ms. Wladyka was recommended to me by my W/C attorney as a very good S.S.I. disability lawyer .I called her on a Friday at around 4pm knowing dam well that no one would be in her office that late,however in a panic I still called. To my amazement not only was she in but personally answered the phone. Almost in tears I explained my troubles to a complete stranger for about 1/2 an hour. When I was done in a soft subtle voice she reply ed "Yes I can help you and you don't even have to come to my office I can mail everything you need to get started and I will place arrows were you have to sign or fill out". When I hung up with Ms Wladyka I had the most wonderful feeling I have had I a long time. I found a lawyer that truly cares for her clients even if she hasn't met them face to face yet. In two days all the paperwork that she sent me arrived in the mail. She mad it so easy to fill out my German Shepard Dog could have done it. I filed out and signed everything she needed and mailed it back to her the next day. I waited 3-4 weeks before calling her myself, because she was calling me periodically, sometimes for more information like Medical Records, Hospital Records etc. After 2 weeks I began getting letters from S.S.I. Disability office requesting things. All i'd do is call Ms.Wladyka and most of the time she would take care of it for me depending on what it is that they needed. After about 6 months after filing for SSI Disability I started get letters from the State leading me to believe I was going to get turned down and once again at square one. ( After all,85% of all applications are turned down the 1st time around then you have to wait for an appeal.That in itself would be very stressful if I was filing the application alone without the help of Ms, Wladyka. And if you lose on appeal "THATS IT ".) So low and behold, on a saturday morning I get a call from Ms. Wladyka stating that I was approved and a large check should be coming Monday from the U.S Treasury Department of Social Security Ins.I was speechless. In less than 2 months a lawyer by whom I only know from the telephone has literally saved my life. After the shock of her phone call I had to wait 2 long days for the Mailman to come. And on Monday still not knowing how she knew, my 1st check came and oooo boy did it ever.I received 5 months of Disability in 1 check minus 25% of the state mandated amount to Ms.Wladyka for her services. Somehow I believe she should have gotten more but its the law. So here I am today typing this letter comfortably knowing that my bills will get paid, I"ll be able to put food on my table and so on, still to this day never meeting face to face the Lawyer that changed my world. I;ve met and hired many attorneys in my day but none of them would stack up to this soft spoken Lady like Ms, Wladyka. I would recommend her to anybody anytime if its Disability related!!!!
