Excellent Attorney

Attorney Krista Rush managed my daughter’s SSI appeal. We could not be more grateful to her for winning her case. She is experienced, professional, compassionate and went out of her way to take care of us during this lengthy, difficult process. We are so thankful to her and would highly recommend her... services.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I made the best choice possible in choosing Krista Rush PA to represent me.

I first called Krista L. Rush PA because I was applying for disability and I felt that Krista's previous experience in the medical field would greatly enhance her understanding of my health conditions and would be of great assistance in preparing my application for disability benefits. The reason... I chose to hire Krista L. Rush PA was her medical background and her glowing reviews as a disability lawyer. I felt that Krista's medical background would benefit my application for disability greatly as she would understand both the medical and the legal issues regarding my application. I feel that I made a very wise choice in having Krista Rush represent me in this matter and I highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance. I enjoyed working with Krista L. Rush PA because I liked the personal attention that I received. Krista held my hand and walked me through the process. I always felt that I was in good hands throughout the entire process. I do not think that I could have made a better choice to represent me then Krista Rush PA. As a result of all of Krista’s hard work, my case was approved much quicker than I expected. I feel this was due to Krista's detailed preparation of my application for benefits and her in depth knowledge of both the medical issues involved and the disability legal process. If you are looking for a disability lawyer you will find none better then Krista Rush PA.

Great Results

My son suffered medical problems that resulted in him loosing his job and all income. We asked Krista to help us secure Social Security Disability for him. She was extremely knowledgable of the whole government process and forms. She guided us and helped us through each step. We expected to be turned... down and have to submit an appeal. However because of her thoroughness in guiding our initial submission, we received immediate approval. It was blessing.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
