Why I gave Chris Pashler a 5 star rating

Jan 20, 2021 After 20 years of trying to obtain my veteran's disability pension, I found Chris Pashler. I have been through just about all the people and organizations who are supposed to help the veterans. The one thing I noticed about the organizations and people would read all my records but did ...not try to find the link no matter how small. Chris read through all my records and there is a great deal to go through Chris found one minuscule document that did link everything together. This allowed Chris to reopen my case and succeed where all others failed. I have read through all my records and glanced over the document Chris used to tie everything together and never put it together. It takes a great deal of concentration and discipline to read endless files and pick out a tiny detail that wins cases and a great deal of admiration from the people he helps. I am sincerely thankful I met Chris and for all the hard work he put into my case.

A truly great Attorney.

Christopher Pashler is truly a great attorney. I am so happy with everything he has done and how he helped me walk through ssdi. I do not think or feel I would have a positive outcome without him.

SSDI case

The firm that initially took my disability case, from my understanding, became overloaded and passed it to Pashler & Devereaux. I am so grateful that they did. Chris was amazing. He was understanding, thorough, and helped me through every step of my trial. Without him, there is no way I would’ve gott...en a favorable outcome. He was realistic but kind, which was very appreciated during a stressful time. Aside from other firms, which I doubt would’ve handled my tough case with as much compassion, I would have never known the steps needed, the files obtained, the additional steps to go through, etc on my own. I would highly recommend him.

A true resource to help you navigate Social Security Disability, etc.

I selected Chris Pashler to help my daughter get social security disability. Without him, the road to success would have been horrible. Chris, as an experienced lawyer in this field, helped us navigate through the bureaucracy and achieve a final successful benefit ward. He is a good communicator and ...is very sympathetic to your needs,. I highly recommend that you consider Chris as your SS attorney.

Experienced, professional and caring

I chose to hire Pashler & Devereaux to help me file my ssdi application instead of a larger, well advertised firm because I wanted personal attention. I could not have hired a better firm. From start to finish Mr. Pashler gave me his professional undivided attention and it was evident that he cared n...ot only about the outcome of my case but about me as a person. He is extremely knowledgeable of the internal workings of the social security administration. My application was approved in 6 months instead of the typical 2 to 3 years. Mr Pashler helped me to obtain what is rightfully mine after working and paying into the SSA system my entire life before I became ill and unable to work. Thank you Mr. Pashler for everything you did for me.
