Outstanding Social Security Disability Expert

Mr. Ginsberg has a professional, top flight law practice in metro Atlanta. After being denied my initial disability claim, I located this firm and glad I did. I was impressed with the responsiveness, care, and strategic planning provided by his team during the appeals process. With multiple medica...l procedures there were multiple medical setbacks that left me with nothing to look forward too. My disability appeal would have been a long-shot if it wasn't for Mr. Ginsberg ensuring that I was prepared. Prior to my disability hearing, we met to discuss my case. Mr. Ginsberg knew understood the medical challenges that I faced and was fully aware of my case. We discussed the hearing procedures, format, and types of questions to expect. In my opinion, I found Mr. Ginsberg to be trustworthy, dedicated, and honest with respect to my case. As a result, of his legal acumen we prevailed with a successful outcome resulting in a fully favorable decision. I wold recommend Jonathan Ginsberg for your Social Security disability case.

Expert Counsel

Applying for Social Security benefits for a loved one can be a complex and overwhelming task, even for a CPA like myself, with all the forms requested and confusing description of "disability". Luckily, I stumbled upon Jonathan Ginsberg's Disability Answer Guide before I started my application. ...I was quickly put at ease with the VAST WEALTH of FREE GUIDANCE from an expert attorney specializing in this practice. The process, timelines, tips and pitfalls were clarified, not in legalese, but in easy to understand language and via an outline of actionable steps and form templates. Reading Ginsberg's words inspired confidence like that given by a success coach to prepare and win approval on the initial filing. For an attorney who is not poised to gain any $ unless the case goes to hearing, I didn't expect any response to my "contact form question" until at least 24-48 hours. But to my amazement and surprise, Mr. Ginsberg exceeded all expectations and responded almost immediately via email. His insight, expertise and concern were evident in his response. I now consider the application less daunting knowing I have a valuable resource to count on who helps others in similar difficult situations. For these reasons, I highly recommend Jonathan Ginsberg to anyone planning to apply for SSI / SSDI.

The Top 2% of Attorneys Presented: Jonathan Ginsberg is Remarkable

I have had the good fortune to discover a rare find: Attorney Jonathan C. Ginsberg. I am a professional in another line of work and I have dealt with many attorneys during my career. In the recent past and unbeknownst to Jonathan Ginsberg, I was also a known source of advice for individuals in si...milar circumstances that we fell into ourselves. From where I stand, Jonathan Ginsberg has earned the title of “honorable.” The situation: We had a serious deadline looming on our son’s SSA-SSI appeal for reconsideration and Jonathan Ginsberg readily stepped in to assist me with it. He was focused, concerned, responded without delay and compassionate about our issues at hand. Jonathan Ginsberg literally held my hand and line by line we dealt with every daunting issue in our son’s appeal. And he worked until we had it all in hand. That alone says a lot about Jonathan Ginsberg and his commitment to the product and/or service he provides. I was not only more than pleased to find Jonathan’s website to be an educational and actually quite useful location , I also discovered Jonathan himself supporting his product and me, an otherwise overwhelmed, in-the-dark consumer. It is an all in one stop that cannot be found anywhere nowadays. The application for reconsideration has since been filed. We do not know what the outcome may be. That is another day. But a treasure just as invaluable as having had the assistance of Jonathan Ginsberg in this particular instance is the relief and peace that my family has now. Because of our experience with Jonathan Ginsberg, our son’s file is now completely updated, organized and stands readily available for others to refer to in the event that we are no longer able to. Had we found Jonathan Ginsberg earlier, we could have saved an indeterminable amount of time, money and stress resolving what he did for my son without further complexity and worries. It would be without hesitation and our great pleasure, if there is anyone who may be considering the services of an attorney in this area, we would recommend highly an attorney with honor, ethics, and reliability: Jonathan Ginsberg. Jonathan Ginsberg has surpassed any of our expectations of an attorney. It just does not get any better than this.

I understood my options, the filings he prepared for me, the time frame for each step in the process, and I felt well-prepared for my interview, also. If you are like me, then contemplating a Bankruptcy involves making very difficult choices that will impact the quality of your life for the foreseeable future. You will want the Best Professional Advice you can get in order to clear your debts to the maximum extent possible, while keeping as much of your property as the law allows, and to position yourself to start over with as clean a slate as possible. Similarly, if you are considering filing for a Social Security Disability, then you are going to want the Best Professional Advice for documenting and preparing your claim, while understanding all of your options as you go.
