An Important Great Feedback!

I couldn't be any happier to utilize Mr. Greene's services & help. I selected him due to his extensive experience and knowledge. Mr. Greene is very intelligent, with a lot of wisdom! Mr. Greene does his very best to help his customers. When you are feeling hopeless during the waiting periods, He take...s his time to listen and encourage you. Mr. Greene truly understands what his applicants go through, he is empathetic. Mr. Greene works very smartly and hard. God blessed us with him. To not choose Mr. Greene as your attorney would be a mistake.

I strongly recommend Doug Greene

Having to file for social security disability is not a point of pride or greed. It is a necessity due one's inability to earn a living. Finally facing this fact on behalf of my adult child, we filed for SSDI. I felt terrified and ill equipt. When we received the letter denying our application, I felt... lost. After wrestling with the process, overwhelmed and emotional, I knew we needed professional help to appeal. After reading several lawyer biographies, I chose to work with Doug Greene. I couldn't have chosen better! Doug is genuine, honest, and empathic. A truly caring man, he was readily available and respectful of my child's needs. I felt confident and comfortable in his expertise and counsel. Ultimately, my child was awarded SSDI. My review of Doug would would be no different had we been denied, but I am grateful that we weren't. I strongly recommend Doug Greene to anyone having to make the difficult, yet necessary, decision to apply for SSDI.

Efficient initial consultation, candid advice

I reached out to Douglas for guidance on behalf of my 64-year old father who is awaiting a heart transplant and no longer able to work. Douglas laid out the options available to my dad, and in particular, highlighted the pros and cons of applying for SSDI and early SS retirement benefits in tandem. D...ouglas helped us understand that for my dad, it made the most sense to simply apply for early SS retirement benefits and not SSDI since it would preserve my Dad's ability to work if and when he's feeling stronger again while still allowing him to obtain the majority of the benefit that's available to him in the near term. It was hugely helpful to understand these tradeoffs and nuances up front and we are grateful to Douglas for his candid advice.

SSDI Compassionate care fast tracked

Doug Greene succeeded in in getting my wife SSDI fast tracked on the first pass. He spent several hours with us in his office and afterwards on the phone. He was concerned, honest, diligent, and incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of SSDI. He tracked the progress of the claim onine and monito...red the details as it progressed towards a positive resolution. I was very impressed with his genuine sincerity and forthright character. He is a rarity. Thank you Doug!
