BEST choice we made!

I fought for my husband to get him Scocial Security for his back injury for over a decade, alone. I tried getting lawyers in the past but they would only help in the beginning then stop answering my calls. I decided to try to get help one last time. I came across N. Leah Fink durring a local search. ...Not only was she local but her reviews made me comfortable. From the very first phone call she made us feel hopeful that maybe this time someone would see his pain and listen. My husband got hurt in his 20's and has been in chronic pain for years. He went through PT, injections, 3 spinal surgeries and a neuro Stimulator and still is plagued with pain and foot drop. He's a man in his mid 30's stunted by depression, who can't even walk without a brace and cane. His life is teathered to pill bottles. Leah saw past his age , and to the issues we faced. From the first phone call we felt like we were heard. She gave us constant support and guidance. Her advice helped us seek out additional supports we had never tried. The day of the hearing, she called my husband to make sure he was okay and helped relieve some of the stress of speaking he had. He wouldn't have been able to advocate for himself if Leah had not been involved, as this was a huge step for him. She talked us through everything and hung on for all the emotional parts after the decision was made. She helped us win a favorable SSI decision. She continues to check in with us durring these hard months just to see if we're okay. She helped us when we desperately needed someone to help , and after years of disappointment. Best Choice we made was choosing a person, not a company. Thank you Leah.

Most professional and efficient/excellent lawyer in Pittsburgh PA

I highly recommend N Leah Fink for your disability claim or any of your legal services that she may be able to provide. She was thorough, highly competent and took the pressure off of me as I have been going through a years long battle with an autoimmune disease at the young age of 28. She won my cla...im for me and I feel a great stress relief knowing I can receive health coverage and SSI support going forward in my journey to heal. I cannot thank her enough and am very thankful for her representation.

J.R.

Leah is the most amazing lawyer ever. Shes also so nice to talk to and even answers her phone, responds to you, is in contact but most of all, she is compassionate. She told me, for every negative thought, replace it with 3 positive thoughts. Leah, I dont know how to ever thank you enough for everyth...ing. She is AMAZING. and she knows what shes doing. I once worked in the field of law and I've been around my fair share of lawyers...not one of them could ever compare or live up to what leah stands for and how she treats her clients. And shes super funny. I just loved talking to her. She genuinely cares and she will fight for you. Thank you again leah. Thank you!

Super Attorney!

Leah provided tenacious representation and excellent guidance. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of her work. She was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls. I believe she is well respected by the court. Thank you Leah!
