Patrick B. Cates

After 3 yrs of filing out paper work and talking with our local VA representative my husband and I got nowhere. I, my husbands advocate, called a veteran disability firm that referred me to Mr. Cates. What a blessing that has been. He got done in 1 year what we couldn’t get done in 3 yrs!! I would... highly recommend Mr Cates to any veteran seeking disability compensation. I spoke directly to Mr Cates and also corresponded through emails. He was always prompt in returning my calls and answering emails, and always took the time to explain things.

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.

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 r...ules 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!
