After briefly explaining my health situation the caseworker knew upfront I had a case that was worth looking into.

All staff was very professional and patient. Attorney Burgess is the BEST and helped me win my case!! I highly recommend her office in handling yours.

Very thankful
Ms. Burgess and her staff could not have been any better during the whole disability case process. From the first meeting with MH, to the most recent call with Ms. Burgess, everyone treated me with such kindness and consideration. All three of the women I worked with provided great communication and anticipatory guidance. They were helpful to the Nth degree and I so appreciate their help. I could not have asked for better; I HIGHLY recommend Burgess & Christensen!

What a great experience
Going thru the ss debacle is grueling and intimidating but with this team, there is no trick ss can pull outta the hat they haven't seen before, and that's where the gloomy mindset can come in. But they explain all the stuff to you and it helps with the anxiety you will encounter. It really really helps to have a professional on your team. SS is all professionals so you need to cover your hiney with a good team.

Highly recommend. A delight to work with.
Anjel Burgess was on top of everything during my 3 years of appeals for disability. Even during the long waiting periods between appeals she always reached out to check in. I never had a problem getting a response from her either. The day of my hearing Mrs. Burgess went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with what was going to happen throughout the hearing. I highly recommend Burgess & Christensen. I can't imagine how stressful this process would have been without them. Thank you!

Horrible situation turned around!!
I retained Burgess & Christensen in 2018. I was met with a prompt courteous and extremely helpful, Martha!! She was my initial point person...whom offered me through and quick detailed answers to all of my many questions!! As the process proceeded, Martha and Alice Both, we a force to be reckoned with. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and understanding of such difficult and hard time(s), this was for my child and myself. I was kept up to date via phone, email, texts and mail...and then throughout the lengthy process of initial denials. And appeals. Then, Ms. Burgess, fully prepared me for my upcoming hearing with an ALJ—which I might add was extremely nerve racking given a pandemic, ongoing degrading health and anxiety, Ms. Angel Burgess, was compassionate yet firm when prepping me for the hearing...which would now be via phone given the pandemic. The hearing rushed through (for me....on pins and needles just given the lengthy waiting and nerves praying the ALJ “hears me and understands the complete complex issues of my health and life) ...all the while Ms Angel Burgess was flawless with questions, answers and explanations. I could not think of a more incredibly versed, professional, understanding and compassionate Law Firm to offer any and all help in association with the disability process! Thank you so very much from the bottom of mine and my family’s hearts, Ms. Burgess, Alice and Martha.

Highly reccomended
I am extremely satisfied with the results that Ms. Burgess and her Team achieved for me. She got my Claim settled in less than 1/5th the time it normally takes(and she achieved this during a national pandemic, which should have made it take longer). I won't hesitate to use her services in the future, if the opportunity arises. I would/will highly recommended her to others.

SS Disability Assistance
Applying for Disability can be very stressful. Given that I was already in a weakened state it was almost impossible to dig through the procedures associated with the application/repeal steps. Attorney Burgess and her staff unraveled each process and helped it seem less impossible. I can't thank them all enough for helping me.

Best Decision I made for my Social Security Disability
It is a very difficult to apply and navigate through the Social Security Disability process. Many people, like myself, find themselves confused and defeated over the process after being initially denied for your disabling condition. Then when you decide you must get a lawyer who do you turn to? I looked at reviews and am so glad I did. The team at Burgess and Christensen did an excellent job of explaining to me how things worked, why initial denials are so frequent, and what steps together we needed to take to win my case. The follow-ups, keeping me informed, were always there as well as answering all of my questions along the way. Not only did they do this with very extensive knowledge but also with compassion and understanding. We ended up before a Administrative Law Judge and Miss Burgess had us well prepared for our hearing. I was very impressed that her team had gathered so many critical medical records in advance of the the hearing. Miss Burgess was perfect in the hearing and we ended up getting a " Fully Favorable" decision. If anyone is seeking an attorney for your Social Security Disability, and read reviews and look into how well a lawyer does based on what their clients say then I highly recommend the office of Burgess and Christensen. Miss Burgess and her team will give you the absolute best chance of getting the disability you deserve.

Disability Claim
Wow! I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Her staff was amazing, always there for any questions no matter how small. I know I had excellent representation and she was helpful in every way. She reassured me when I felt frustrated she answered all my questions and I never felt I was not her top priority! I recommend her to anyone needing help with a claim.

Applied for SSA Disability
Wonderful firm who stayed in touch with me. They handled all the paperwork from all doctors and submitted everything required to satisfy requirements of OPM and SSA.
No up front money required. They get paid if you win your case, which really takes the financial burden off the client. Very honest legal group!

My case was handled very professionally. Everyone in the office was kind and courteous. My attorney seemed truly concerned about my overall well being and she worked my case as such. My hearing was very smooth and she helped in my approval.

Don't go it alone
I hired Burgess & Christensen to assist in helping me with my disability insurance. They were very efficient and thorough in getting my case represented properly the first time. In addition they kept me completely informed of the status of my case and was always available to answer any questions I had. From the first day until things were completed they made the process very smooth. Given that a review is only a snapshot of the situation that they handled for me I would recommend anyone who is dealing with the government to sit down with either of these attorneys before moving forward.

Successful representative
Anjel and her team did a great job walking us through the SSI application process, resulting in the successful approval of SSI (and Medicaid) eligibility for my 24-year old son (who has Asperger's).
