Posted by Josetta | April 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

Excellent, Knowledgeable Law Team

I was referred to McChesney's Law office after being denied several times for Social Security Disability. I was just ready to give up, Ms. Betty told me to come in and meet with Mr. McChesney and see what he had to say, and what he thought my chances were at still fighting. I agreed, From the time ...I went to the office, until the time my case was won, this team worked hard for me. Ms. Betty with her weekly phone calls keeping me up to date. The rest of the staff doing everything that goes on in the background that we don't see. Mr. Dunning who is extremely knowledgeable, and did a fabulous job keeping me calm, and comfortable during the court proceeding. He did a great job!! I cannot thank this law firm enough, I have been able to get my health and life in some sort of order because of them.
