terrible customer service

when they need a signature from you there will be a courier at your door within 72 hours. But when you need information from them, good luck getting a call back. they are terrible. I've been re-assigned to four different staff members, and they never had my diagnosis correctly recorded the whole time.... they did not give me any legal advice at all. they did not ever make me feel like they had my best interests at hand, and they didn't keep up with my medical updates. they failed to follow up with social security, they passed on the duty of calling them to me, instead of handling it. they were charging a fee to handle it, but i found myself doing their job. its been almost two years for my family, and i have still not received any relief. I've lost my home, declared a bankruptcy, I've been homeless, and i have been blindly relying on Ricci to do right by me. the injuries i sustained in my accident have changed my life forever. I would not recommend using this disability group, ever. when my benefits were suspended they did nothing to fix it,even though it was a clear mistake.

Failed me during representation SSD

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.

With all due respect, a lawyer works on a "contingent fee" when he takes a SSDI or work comp case. He has to evaluate the chances of winning the case, and getting paid, against the odds of losing, and working for free. Lawyers have overhead bills to pay as well, so they cannot take on contingent fee cases that are not winnable. When a lawyer refuses to take on a contingent fee case, just remember that the lawyer is refusing to work for no compensation on what he thinks will be a losing case.
