Patrick B. Cates

I had gone through person after person at the VA for months with no follow through. After contacting Mr. Cates, my case began to finally move through the VA. Within 90 days of contacting Mr. Cates, I received an award for 100% disability. Mr. Cates was knowledgeable, respectful, thorough and patient. I would highly recommend his services.

Let me start first by Thanking the one & only God for Blessing me with an awesome lawyer!!! Patrick is awesome,he handle business & is verrrrrryyyyy professional & he made sure he gave his all on being the best lawyer,answered my questions & concerns at a timely manner with no complaints & for that he won my long term Disability.Thanks Mr.Cates you are the best.

I had been trying for almost a year to get approved for SSI disability. I was referred by multiple people to this attorney office. When I went in for my first consultation with Mr. Cates, I had all my documentation that I thought he would need. After reviewing my records and speaking with me for a bit, he offered to represent me. He has always been able to answer any questions I had, and I've always been able to reach him by phone. I believe he retained my case in June or July of 2018. Mr. Cates called me today to let me know that the Judge ruled me fully disabled, after my hearing on March 30th. Thank you, Mr. Cates And all the Silver & Archibald staff!

Mr Cates did a great job helping me to get my disability. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help. He did a great job thanks me cates.

He understood my problem and helped me get my claim. He was very helpful and easy to reachable.

First rate at every step! From the initial consultation, where he answered all of my questions as thoroughly as he could, to the final step of the check being deposited directly into my account, Mr. Cates was professional, thorough, respectful, and courteous. He always responded to my emails/questions very promptly, and he went beyond the call of duty in recommending resources for help in Medicare/insurance.

Patrick did a terrific job in coaching us through the complex maze of SS issues. First of all, he seemed always available when we had questions or concerns. He guided us in getting documents of support from Doctors and employers and in addition suggested a Neuropsychologist who understood what SS rules and regulations. When it came time for our hearing, he reassurred us that we were well prepared and had nothing to worry about during the hearing. That made us much more relaxed during the 45 minute interview with the ALJ. Thanks for all your help Patrick! We are very grateful for all your efforts!

Mr. Cates was very professional, answered all my concerns. Whenever I called he talked to me personal. He kept me informed about my case from beginning to end. Thank you Mr. Cates & the office staff.

Patrick was incredibly helpful to my husband and I during the most stressful time of our lives. He was very accessible when I had questions, and would reply very quickly when I emailed with any concerns. I felt that everything was also very well explained throughout our claim process, and am very happy with the end results. Would definitely hire again, and very highly recommend Patrick Cates!

When I had initially contacted Mr. Cates for an appointment, I was able to see him within a few days. During the appointment he explained how things would go and what I needed to do on my part very well. When I asked my questions, he answered them extensively and in layman's terms, even though I do have a degree in Paralegal Studies (he did not know this). He then told me what he would be doing for his part. I understood after the initial contact that I would be responsible for the majority of the work, for what my case involved. After everything was done and over with on my part and things were settled, he contacted me and went over the details, making sure I understood the outcome. He also wanted to know if I had any questions or needed anything further explained. He's a great attorney and I would use him again if the need arises.
