Monica Belvel Wegner

My son and I hired Monica to represent him for SSI case. She was always effective, communicated wonderfully, and demonstrated a high level of client concern and welfare for them. We were so sad when she moved on, we are still fighting his case with same law firm she left, thanks for everything Monic...a, we think of you fondly with gratitude.

I have been dealing with a disability case for years and after I was denied twice, I knew I needed help. My condition is such a difficult one to claim disability for that multiple lawyers hung up on me or promised to call me back and never did. By the time I was connected to Monica, I had given up al...l hope. After I explained to her the bare bones of my case and what had happened with previous attempts to find representation, Monica let me know she would call me back within a certain timeframe to continue discussing it; true to her word she did, despite how busy her day was and how much time I needed. That action alone let me know I could trust her, a decision I have never once regretted. Monica is an expert in her field, and she was always able to get results and explain things to me in a way I could understand. From doctors not releasing medical records to avoiding filling out paperwork, she was able to find a solution for every issue. After I lost my case at the hearing level, she appealed my case to the appeals council and won! She fought for me when no one else would and did much more than winning my case at the appeals level - she restored some of my faith and trust in people. I wholeheartedly recommend her and feel extremely blessed to have had her on my side!

Anyone who has ever dealt with the Social Security Administration knows this is a government agency known for its glacial pace. I understand the SSA needing to fully vet claims to prevent fraud, unfortunately, standard operating procedure for the SSA is to deny the initial claim no matter the validit...y. After my initial claim was denied, I contacted Monica for help. During our initial meeting, Monica reviewed my doctors reports and reassured me that my claim was valid. Monica and her team filed all the paperwork and dealt directly with the SSA on my behalf. Monica always kept me informed of the progress of my claim through the labyrinth of SSA departments. My claim was approved in less than 5 months! The SSA process is extremely stressful, and without Monica I never would've survived it much less have been approved for benefits in record time.

I was fortunate enough to meet Monica when I needed an attorney to represent me with the Social Security Administration. Under her guidance, the task of taking on the SSA did not seem so daunting. When the day came, I was fully prepared on what to expect, down to the content of the questions that w...ould be asked. Monica proved to be a wealth of information though the entire, long process of fighting the original judgement, denying me long term coverage. This preparation proved to be invaluable during my day in court and ultimately, the judgement was in my favor. Without Monica, I fear to think of the outcome.
