Vaughn Clauson assisted me in getting my disability. His professionalism was bar none. If I had questions regarding my case he got back to me within 24 hours. I couldn't be happier with the result of my disability claim.

Mr. "Steve". I apologize that you were not satisfied with my services or your approval for SSI benefits. Please call me directly to discuss. I do want to note a few things: 1. You were approved, and my firm and I worked hard to help get your case approved, 2. As I do for all clients, I surely gave you all details regarding SSI before you accepted the approval. 3. My fee is 25% of the back payment up to a max of $6,000, which is set by SSA. You were not charged $6500. If you did in fact only receive $800 in back payment, under most circumstances, my fee would only be $200. Your comments about fees are not true. Finally, I am happy to help you with any further questions regarding your approval and on going benefits. Please call my office and ask for me personally. I am happy to help in any way that I can.
