Great Experience

The attorney and his legal team got my case approved. They were very helpful and understanding.

Posted by Binion | October 28, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

Worse communication from a legal counsel I ever had!

This was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had with a lawyer. I hired this disability attorney expecting help, guidance, and someone who would actually fight for my case — instead, I got the complete opposite. They were unprepared, unresponsive, and careless from start to finish. I had to chas...e them for updates, and when they finally responded, it was with vague excuses and zero real answers. They showed no urgency or compassion for what I was going through. When my case was denied, it was painfully obvious that they hadn’t done their job properly — no follow-up, no plan, no effort to appeal, nothing. It honestly felt like they just took my case for the paycheck type of scam and then forgot about me. I wouldn’t recommend this lawyer to anyone who truly needs help or hopes to win their disability claim. Save yourself the stress, disappointment, and wasted time — find someone who actually cares. Needless to say I lost my case on a counsel level! I already had my 40 work credits… here I am crawling around with no income! How unamerican! I worked all my life and when I got sick…. I received NO HELP! I would recommend for you to represent yourself! This lawyer never called to even prep you for your case… how can he even fight for you on your behalf? Red flag! Run! Scam! I will report him to the bar association and Morgan and Morgan!

The best lawyer

It took nearly 10 years and 2 lawyers until Jerry Burkhalter won my case. He was professional, pleasant, smart, and very well prepared.

Hi

I was very satisfied with my attorney he was very professional, extremely prepared. What people have to realize is Social Security disability cases are very hard to win you truly have to.be disabled and unable.to work.
