Richard Allen Culbertson's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Culbertson consulted with me on a family law matter that had cross over social security disability law issues. He very generously donated his time to the clients and their disabled son and provided clear answers to their social security questions that were critical to resolving their case."
"I endorse and highly recommend Mr. Culbertson. He has dedicated his practice to all areas of Social Security and is one of only a handful of Board Certified attorneys practicing Social Security Disability law. He's extremely knowledgeable and uses his experience to point out factors and issues in a claim that can best get a client approved. He carries himself well in hearings, and should your claim be denied, he and his expert staff, together with lawyer Sarah Fay, are well qualified to handle your appeal. Aside from all of these qualifications, he is one of the nicest people you could meet, and it is immediately obvious that he has a genuine care and concern for the well-being of all of his clients. If you are thinking about filing, or have filed and need assistance, do not hesitate to give his office a call."
