Brian M. Ricci

After losing my employment June of 2015, my anxiety and depression took over my life, ending up having a heart attack requiring 3 stints to correct in august 2015, and potentially facing having yet another stint added as of today, April 2 2016, still unable to return to work as I'm a building and rem...odeling contractor and licensed plumber, yet according to doctor am unable to perform physically stressful/demanding employment again, seemingly ever, and who hires a plumber to hang out in a office or a building/remodeling contractor to be a desk jockey? No means of transitioning from well paid blue collar to avg paid white collar, due to skill set, can't do blue collar because of heart, and anxiety, deression are reaking havoc when I'm looking at piles of bills I can't pay, and my children I'm having to depend on extended family to assist in providing for....The Ricci group picked up my case before I was ever home from hospital, when I got home, I had a package of documents to review and sign, of my completed disability claim already to go pending my signature and sending back to Ricci group....at first skeptical, so much so I had a friend who is local atty reveiw documents just to verify wasn't a scam of some kind, finally signed and returned, and since I have been borderline free of concern in that area at least, because they are taking care of what they agreed to take care of, granted, like anyone it would be nice to touch base more frequently, but in a disability claim, WHAT FOR??? Unless there is new info, or developements, aside from rehashing same ol same, until decisions made by dds, both ricci group and myself can only wait....currently awaiting request for reconsideration decision, to then move on with ALJ appeal (request for reconsideration appeals are denied at higher rate than initial claims)...I'm sure at that time The Ricci Group will be much more on point (seemingly) because there's actually something for them to do vs await dds decision.....so till the end, so far, AWESOME, AND THANKS!!

His firm represented me for my SSD appeal. Their website advertisement attracted me when it stated, their firm is one of the few firms, that will fight for you all the way to civil district court. I learned this is far from true! During my hearing with ALJ, that denial was filled with Errors of laws....We appealed for a review with the Review council whom, as usual, refused to review the denial. Again, I had a multitude of 100% proof their were issues of fact not considered. The ALJ judge specifically stated in denial that I asserted one of the diagnosis of __________ but claimant does not have a ct scan proving this" which was false, records show the judge had that CT scan. Their were a slew of other bonefide errors , yet, when i informed Ricci Law firm I wanted to appeal to district court, I was told by my attorney with the firm, he doesnt have a great deal experience with the federal level and suggested I find another firm. Yet again, they state they are one of few firms that will take your case to the federal level but then tell you to go elsewhere! A law firm should believe in their clients disability 100% so much so, they should believe in you enough to go all the way, if their is a shadow of a doubt when client signs on, the firm should tell them so. My moto is, "your either with me 100% or against me - I need to know the percentage you believe in me"?..They failed. NOW, that they have released me, getting another firm to take on where they left off in order to go to district court. IVE CALLED 20 firms and i get, "sorry, not interested", after of course I told them I "had" a firm handling my case to this point. No other firm wants to take left overs from another firm so now im screwed! And I have them to blame.
