Client

I was very satisfied with my lawyer, Mr. Elliott Andalman. Mr. Andalman won my disability claim on an appeal. Mr. Andalman is knowledgeable, experienced, a good listener, non-judgmental, helpful, kind, patient, and easily reachable. Mr. Andalman took time to thoroughly explain the process, answer que...stions, and prepared all documents in a timely matter. I would highly recommend lawyer Elliott Andalman. I am very grateful for his excellent job!

"We Won!"

I reached out to Andalman and Flynn in the early part of 2016. This firm were the only firm that accepted my case on a contingency basis. This was music to my ears because I did not have any income due to the sudden separation of my agency. I was not prepared. Although hope had been restored, as I... had my free consultation with Elliot. I was diagnosed with PTSD, Depression and Anxiety. It was a long battle with OPM, but Elliot was persistent and he prevailed. He guided me every step of the way. "We Won!" is the news I heard on July 2, 2020!!! What a 4th of July Celebration!!! After nearly a five year extended journey, those are the words I heard on this day. Overwhelming emotions can not describe the feelings of HAPPINESS! Elliot heard my pain, my cries and felt my feelings of hopeless. Though he did not give up!! He was persistent and he prevailed. Elliot is professional, responsive, experience and highly knowledgeable. He stayed with me for almost five years through all bureaucracies of OPM (Office of Personnel Management). Elliot is an OUTSTANDING attorney and his law office is amazing. He and his paralegal Eric help me through it all. I truly felt a found a true and personal friend. "We Won!" A forever happy Client,

Compassionate Legal Experts

I recommend Mr. Andalman for his expertise, professionalism and compassion during my FERS disability application process. The most fortunate thing that happened to me last year, in the midst of a series of unfortunate events, was that I found Mr. Andalmand and his assistant Bella. It has been a ver...y emotional process for me. After my disability, I felt I not only was losing my health, but also losing my job, reputation and self-esteem. Bella was very understanding and patient when I was in tears during several phone calls. Mr. Andalman is a great listener. He was able to give me valuable advice at each consultation. “In the middle of the road of my life, I awoke in the dark wood where the true way was wholly lost”. This Dante quote accurately reflected my situation after my disability. Mr. Andalman and Bella held up a guiding light for me throughout this very confusing process. I recommend you choose Mr. Andalman’s firm for FERS disability application. They are not just legal experts; they are good people.

Wonderful legal assistance provided at a low point in my life which I'll remember always

Andalmynn & Flynn is a learned, highly qualified, effective, and compassionate law firm that I unconditionally recommend for anyone seeking help with securing federal disability retirement.

Savior at Law

Hired Elliott for his legal experience with Federal Disability Retirement (FDR) claims, after researching OPM's application process. My initial consultation with Elliott and his paralegal Zubaidah exceeded expectations. The FDR process involves multi-agency forms, evaluations and approval. Intimi...dating, overwhelming and confusing. Elliott and Zubaidah put me at ease; they would manage every legal step of the FDR labyrinth. No smoke and mirrors. Never had a warm and fuzzy with the legal profession, but Elliott is human. Empathetic, yet no nonsense. Zubaidah communicated with me on every step of the process. Smart, knowledgable and supportive. My FDR claim was approved with the initial submission to OPM.
