Posted by anonymous | February 23, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

A out reached hand when I needed one.

I had been turned down disability and not sure what to do next, I called around my town and the SSA office looking for a lawyer to take my case. I was surprised with all the lawyers here that no one did, or knew a lawyer that did disability cases. Finally some one recommended Attorney Wilson. I call...ed and made a appointment. When I first met him, I knew I liked him, he was very nice to me, explained a lot about my case in a way I could understand. He was very honest and told me my changes of winning. Later he communicated with me by phone calls and emails to keep me informed before and after my hearing. The day of my hearing he was very prepared, he had a written brief for the Judge. and explained what would take place in the hearing, making me feel relaxed before we saw the Judge. My outcome was great and Mr. Wilson made me feel like I just made a friend. Thanks.

EXCELLENT LAWYER

I'm a 53 year old male. Was a Teamster for 22 years. I got injured at work. Needed neck surgery. After surgery I never got my strength back. RICH was recommended to me by my workers comp LAWYER. I was on the edge of losing my home. RICH took extra steps of getting a hold of the LAWYER doi...ng the foreclosure. That was enough to prolong my foreclosure. Was able to keep my home. Without RICH, I would have lost my home, lost my truck, and everything I've worked for. SSD is a long and difficult prosses. RICH had no problems navigating this. RICH is a very intelligent and caring. THANK YOU RICH FOR GETTING MY LIFE BACK !!!

Don't Despair, Wilson Is There

Our testimonial has to deal with applying for social security disability benefits. After my wife was rejected for what we believed to be legitimate medical issues, we were deflated, depressed, confused, emotionally drained, and disappointed with government bureaucracy. We searched the yellow pages ...for legal counsel to assist us in filing our appeal. One name and one law firm prominetly stood out to us in their advertising and that was Rich Wilson of Ody and Wilson PC. When we arrived for our consultation we were warmly welcomed and led to a conference room for our meeting with Rich. Upon reviewing the medical records and initial application, Rich pointed out several errors we made on the application. Common verbage errors, that Rich said he sees a lot, where answers inaccurately represent the intent of the question. Rich affirmed that we should proceed with an appeal. He provided us with forms for our physcians to gather more data regarding the injuries and disability. But, most of all, He assured us that we had an advocate and he would go the full mile for us. His compassion and enthusiasm placed our minds at ease and lifted a tremendous burden off our shoulders. It was a long, drawn out process complicated by a government shut down, but in the end, we finally had our day court that resulted in a favorable decision. After hearing expert testimony from the state, Rich was focused on drawing and re-directing the critical attention back to the medical records and documented proof of our case. We have no qualms or reservations in recommending Rich Wilson and the firm of Ody and Wilson for any or all of your legal needs. We will be eternally grateful for all your had work, Thank You Rich, from the bottom of our hearts.
