Bittersweet News!

We hired Mr. Ginsberg after filing a disability claim which was denied. We appealed and again, my husband was denied. He had a liver transplant which saved his life but brought other complications, one of which was severe peripheral neuropathy. He had seen Mr. Ginsberg’s website and videos, so we ...contacted his office. They accepted his case and we started the process of preparing for a hearing. Unfortunately, my husband passed away. I thought this was the end, but Jen Socha, who was always very attentive and very nice, said that I would be substituted as his widow. Mr. Ginsberg helped me prepare for the hearing and I felt confident that I would be able to explain to the Judge his everyday struggles. Today I received the bittersweet news that we received a fully favorable decision. Hiring Mr. Ginsberg was the best decision we made. I also want to say that Madelin Warren was very nice and helpful when we first contacted the firm, which made our decision so much easier. Mr. Ginsberg and his staff are very professional, informative and kind. If I ever have the opportunity to recommend a disability attorney to anyone, it will be Jonathan Ginsberg, Esq. of Ginsberg Law Offices. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Highly disappointed

After a very frustrating pre-hearing experience with office personnel, my day before a judge to decide my disability claim arrived. I was informed afterward that I had won, but after only two checks my claim was suspended. I reached out via phone, text, app, begging for someone to talk to me about ...what was happening, and how to resolve it. No response. After several months, I had to seek help from another source, who easily solved the problem, which was a filing error, according to the SSA. Months of anguish all due to the lack of returned phone calls. Very unprofessional in my opinion.

Fully Favorable

I had suffered an injury at his job and had to stop working in 2021. I had been fighting to get my SSDI benefits for 3 years and continued to get denied. After I hired Ginsberg Law Offices, my claim was approved within 3 months! The staff was very helpful and responded quickly to any and all question...s and concerns that I had. Mr. Ginsberg and his staff were so patient with me and explained the process to me as I went along, so that I would know exactly what was happening throughout. They accomplished what I couldn't on my own. I'm so grateful that Mr. Ginsberg took my case and got me a fully favorable decision so quickly! I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who is looking for help with their SSDI claims.

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!!
