Trustworthy
I'm skeptical of lawyers in general. Some are OK. Some are good at what they do and trustworthy. Chris is such a person. He handled my disability claim well. He does other things also. Ask.

WHen I called I usually only talked to his assistnt. Before we went in front of the judge, I went to his office and he pretended to be the judge and got me ready for how to talk. We won the case.

Christopher Rouse
Replied last April 19, 2014Sometimes in taking cases, I agree to take cases that appear marginal. Sometimes I just want to try to help someone who is sympathetic. Oftentimes, based on what the client has told me, I expect to find certain medical records when I send out requests or subpoenas. In some cases, the clients have correctly informed me what the medical records will say, and I am able to put together a convincing case in front of the Judge. Other times, the medical records do not support what the client has told me. When this happens, I am sometimes too reluctant to tell the client that he/she does not have a very good case. Since this client's case, I have changed my procedures to inform the client when I believe the medical records have not lived up to what I was told in my meetings with the client. If I am only able to get the records shortly before the hearing, I will still go to the hearing with the client and present the best case possible on the evidence available, but in those cases I will not appeal the denial past the hearing. In this particular case, I should have told the client this before we went to the hearing.
