Amazing

Agnes was an amazing help navigating my permanent disability claim. Taking the time to make sure I understood everything completely every step of the way!

Highly Recommend

Another lawyer recommended me to Agnes S. Wladyka for her specialty in social security issues since I needed assistance and direction specifically in that area. It is always a scary thing to reach out to someone you don't know. I was impressed by our communications. She was kind, caring, and respo...nsive providing all the details I required within a couple of emails. I highly recommend her and would call her first before seeking a counselor if needed. You will not be disappointed 5 stars all the way!!!

Genuinely Kind and Caring person

I needed a lawyer for my disability hearing and unfortunately i am the type of person who is very embarrassed about my medical situation to the point of being ashamed, but Mrs. Wladyka was so GENUINELY KIND AND CONCERNED she truly put me at ease and helped me get through the hearing. Everything we...nt well and she is truly a good person and GREAT ATTORNEY..

Warm, compassionate, THE BEST!!

If you need a lawyer Agnes is the best!!! We hired Agnes for my Husbands Disability, And I Thank God we did.. she took a lot of stress away of filing for the application and everything we needed to do. if we had any questions she was just a phone call away. When you talk to Agnes you can hear the com...passion, warmth, in her voice, she really cares about you and the best way to help you, she is an easy person to talk to once you talk to her it feels like she has known you for many years. She explains everything to you what will happen, what’s going to happen, and what needs to be done she is very patient, and will explain it to you again if you don’t clear understand what’s going on she is friendly… and makes her clients feel comfortable she made us feel welcomed and we that we mattered. THANK YOU AGAIN AGNES!!!!! Simply the best

Pinch me I’m in shock!

I hired Ms. Wladyka several years ago to handle my disability appeal. This is not a big firm, it’s Agnes and the legal secretary Gloria. I guess I was hoping to get my hand held which it was not but I ALWAYS felt calmed when we did speak. I went into my hearing feeling kind of defeated and the judge ...said she wasn’t going to hear my testimony. I felt like I was kicked in the stomach. Agnes just held my hand and began talking with the lawyer and vocational expert. No testimony was needed because the appeal paperwork written by Agnes was so extensive (over 30 pages) the judge made her favorable decision before we were seen in person. Agnes Wladyka knew my case, knew what my original judge did wrong and she went on the attack, eloquently, judiciously and professionally. The judge apologized! I was granted a bench decision on the spot with retroactive pay and Medicare insurance going back to before my initial onset date. I was in awe of Agnes’s skills and knowledge of my case and her handling of the biggest, most important decision of my life. I can finally rest easy and take a deep breath for the first time in years. Almost 8 long years. I was validated and awarded and I owe it all to Agnes. Look no further- she will only take your case if it’s winnable and she will fight for you when it matters most.
