Great Lawyer!

Mr. Ginsberg gave excellent advice to me. He advised me to reach out to my Texas State Senator because of how long the initial application process was taking. He also said for me to attach my grid rule to my application in which I did. After I did that, within 2 mo I was approved for disability a...t the age of 63. It took me 13 months to get approved and that was not having to hire an attorney. Thank you!!

SO GLAD I FOUND HIM WHEN I DID

Hey...I was out of work for almost 4 years, receiving long term disability payments from a long-term disability insurance provider I paid for through my job prior to becoming disabled and after only receiving monthly payments for about 3 years they abruptly and without notice cut me off and asserted ...they believed I could work, with that policy being what I considered my "safety net" and no other money coming in I was devastated and the policy was supposed to pay me until the year 2037. I have under gone 3 VERY BRUTAL SPINAL SURGERIES and knew I couldn't work or do anything on a constant day to day basis ever again, I have over 100 implanted pieces of hardware (screws, rods, spacers etc)made of Chrome and Titanium in my spine from just below my neck all the way down my spine to where it ends, it was REDICULOUS to me that long-term disability insurance provider even said they believed I could work and worse they connected me with an SSDI "CONSULTANT AND REPRESENTATION" Company contracted through them, who did little or nothing to assist me with obtaining SSDI, in fact I learned they actually did things to create some confusion which prolong processes and caused me to get 2 denials . I was devastated and then I saw a video from Jonathan Ginsberg and immediately I found something I lost and didn't even realize it, which was HOPE and made contact and he took my case and now in less than 6 months im approved I am waiting most impatiently at this very moment to get paid, but not because of his office mostly just processing time dealing with SSA. He is a most extraordinary Attorney and understands what disabled people are and have been going through, listens, and does his job. I am SO GLAD I FOUND THE VIDEO AND REACHED OUT, There isn't anyrhing I regret and believe i have been well taken care of.

The best Law Firm EVER

I was denied twice until I hired Ginsberg law firm. The staff and Mr Ginsberg are so knowledgeable about every aspect of the Social Security Dissability Laws. I would recommend you use this law firm no matter where you’re located. It is also helpful to watch all his videos. We won the case and I ...am so grateful.

Thankful relieved and WELL SATISFIED Disability client!

I hired Mr. Jonathan Ginsberg after receiving rave reviews from a previous client of his. Embarrassingly, I was a nervous wreck for our initial meeting because I had already been denied for disability benefits, & I was passed my appeal date. Unfortunately, my previous representative did not repres...ent me very well at all. But I believe Everything happens for a good reason & thankfully Jonathan answered my SOS lol! He immediately got on the job working tirelessly and diligently to win my appeal, and against All odds.. he accomplished the goal! I must say, it was a rocky start and an uphill battle, but these are the challenges that victories are made of! However, Jonathan and his A Team never wavered and kept My best interest at the forefront. Jonathan knew exactly what was needed for my particular circumstances & he empathized with my dire situation. I'm impressed with Jonathan's vast array of knowledge & how he catered to my specific needs. He was very attentive, caring, & gentle, and coached me through the entire process. I truly appreciated his informative tutorial videos, they are map to success! And Jonathan addressed all the important aspects of my case and highlighted my personal struggles. He made sure I was well aware of important details and that I clearly understood everything. Jonathan has the special ability to make you feel like family, and not just another vulnerable client. So needless to say, with the proper tools, positive attitudes and winning team, it was impossible to lose! Ginsberg Law services lead me to a WINNABLE disability case and insured a SUBSTANTIAL GAIN! I will be eternally grateful and will continue spreading the good news, of the "Good" Lawyer lol!! THANK YOU AGAIN JONATHAN, I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!!

I have been watching ALL of Jonathan's videos and especially enjoy his live spots. Filing for disability is a long hard process however Jonathan's advice is spot on! I wish I had come across him before I hired the other representative! I love that he gives his advice, time and knowledge!!!
