Wounded Warrior SSDI recovery

Miss Blevins listened to my situation, as a Wounded Warrior at Walter Reed, analyzed it carefully providing a detailed back brief explaining what previous counsel had omitted and what should have been done during the time line that Social Security requires. Her analysis was spot on. Miss Blevins kn...owledge of Social Security and its processes was critical to fixing prior counsels’ errors. This knowledge was paramount in her legal brief achieving a complete reversal of SSA’s wrong opinion. Miss Blevins is a Top-Notch attorney who was able to get my case reversed, corrected and resolved in a timely manner. If I had known of her to begin with, I would have chosen Miss Blevins from the start! I will use her moving forward should I have any more Military, VA or Social Security actions.

Social Security

The first moment I decided to call Kathryn Blevins and spoke to her concerning my ssdi case, I knew she was the right lawyer for me. She explained a lot to me over the phone and when I went to see her she helped me even more. Thanks to her I won my ssdi case on the first initial application, only to...ok 6 months. I would definitely recommend her law firm to anyone.

Excellent customer service and professionalism

We're so happy to have worked with Blevins Law LLC on our estate planning. Ms. Blevins is patient, thorough, responsive, and so helpful. She explained all the legalese in a way that we could understand and took time and care (doing extra research, asking her colleagues and others in the industry wh...en needed) to provide the most accurate information and guidance. She explained things twice some times without even a hint of annoyance or reluctance until we understood an issue. She provided exceptional customer service in recognizing some of the logistical challenges we had as a family and accommodated us whenever she could. When we were ready to sign and notarized, she had everything tabbed and instructions written clearly. Even if there was any confusion, I felt at ease to reach out to her to clarification and assistance. I felt it was money well spent and now I have the peace of mind having an estate plan in place. We highly recommend Blevins Law LLC.

Professional, Efficient, and Caring

I hired Kathryn after speaking with her via phone and recognizing that she was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate about the eligibility and application process for social security disability. Throughout the process, she maintained excellent communication with the Social Security Administrati...on and me. She called or emailed with regular updates and she quickly addressed anything that needed attention, such as getting the most updated medical records. Kathryn prepared an application packet that was comprehensive and thorough. She obtained all medical records. She helped me with forms and submitted everything in a timely manner. I received a determination of eligibility just 2 1/2 months after she submitted my application! Her expertise in knowing what the SSDI review panel would need was instrumental in making this process simple and successful.
