Nora C. Staum

There is no doubt in my mind that if Nora had not been representing me I would have not won my case. As mine did these cases can take years, and she stuck with me through the frustration, and emotional see saw that I went through, I would highly recommend her and the team of professionals she works w...ith. Thank you so much for helping me and my family get through this. God Bless and good luck.S.P.

I would like to express my Appreciation and Gratitude to Attorney Nora Staum. I’m very Thankful to Ms. Staum for representing my Disability case through a crucial time in my life. Filing for Social Society is a long and stressful process and I felt honored having her as my Attorney because she was ...dedicated, spending time on my case and she was helpful giving her sincere advices. Nora Staum also has a wonderful office staff that has “Impeccable Customer Service.” I want to Thank Natalie for always returning all my calls in a timely matter and I can’t Thank her enough for prioritizing my case and being Attentive and having a Positive Personal Attitude. Also Rhonda her Paralegal is Incredible, and a Valuable Employee. She goes Above and Beyond working on your Disability case. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, very helpful keeping you updated and informative answering your questions. Before and after my Social Society Disability hearing I have the deepest respect, admiration for Attorney Nora Staum. Also I am immensely satisfied with her Firm and very pleased with the “Winning” outcome. I have and will highly recommend my friends family to the Law office of Nora Staum. Again my family and myself want to extend our deepest Thanks by saying Nora you’re a "Terrific Attorney" and Keep Up The Great Work!

My case was very challenging & complicated. Nora Staum suggested that I would have to get a Independent Medical Evaluation to make my case stronger. After answering questions in front of the Administrative Law Judge I nervously watch Nora Staum work her magic....She was very thorough,courteous, knowl...edgeable & slightly aggressive during telephone mediation conference. I won my case. Since winning my case I have referred two people to her because of her experience.

Ms Staum and her staff were extremely professional and helpful with helping me obtain my Social Security Disability. They kept in contact with me throughout the process and prepared me for my hearing. After the hearing, they kept me updated on the next step in the process and what I needed to do. If ...I ever had a question, they took my calls and were always polite and helpful. The staff made this entire process less stressful for me.

I would give Nora three stars only because I know that my situation was a difficult one because she represented me after most attorneys turned me away. I was poisoned by my own government and I have fought in so many ways only to watch my life crumble away and listen to people make false accusations... about my mental health when they hide the fact that you can actually see I have a physical illness all the while suffering I find writing this difficult. I am a total picture of medical neglect, legal manipulation, and government corruption. So I knew walking into this situation was probably not going to get me anywhere but further into the ground. Nora was impressive with her assistant who met me when Nora cancelled out, they assured me that she would help through anything or questions I had. I did have to originally do some paperwork myself, but I will say that her office did handle most of what legal representative usually do. I did get frustrated when I felt totally confused and in the dark, but after losing it and I did unfortunately which I didn't know how else to get a response and she did a few time thereafter meet with me reluctantly. I was confused to as whether she felt compassion or not cause at times she's say things that I felt were showing me that and other times not so much. I do know these cases do take time to resolve for SOME of us. I need to explain that there are certain illness that aren't recognized by the medical community as being severe even though they are and do disable thousands of people every year so with this being considered I can't say much because the whole system is failing these individuals. I feel grateful that I got as far as I did, but why I gave her a one is because she did not fight hard enough for me as a situation of false information landed in the judges hands even though I could prove this and I was lied to about what I originally was suppose to receive. Due to doctor's neglect I was not able to collect for the years of disability I had suffered because I was not able to file without diagnoses, I also had to borrow money to obtain medical help to satisfy disability and what I received doesn't come close to what I am in debt with in order to qualify. The amount I was left with won't even cover a third of poverty status living expenses and funny part is before I got sick, I was just starting to get off the ground of living pay check to pay check and now I make a forth of that so I am probably looking at a card board box on the street soon unless I can find someone else who will help me in the situation I am in. Because she did not care to understand what I had been through or why I had to file in desperation and I had to sit in tremendous pain while her and my judge talked casually while I sat like a ghost in the room which I found totally strange to do to a sick person I can't really give her more than the one star. However, considering difficulties of my situation I do give her office credit for getting the peanuts they feel I should live on. I suppose if you can survive on that and you don't mind living in a box on the streets by all means hire her.
