Nora C. Staum

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.

I would like to take this time out to thank Nora Staum, Rhonda, and all of her staff for all of the hard work, and dedication that was taken to work on my case, and to keep me informed with every process that was going on. I really loved working with such a professional group of people. Nora has als...o worked with two of my family members disability cases in the past. I was referred to Nora by my mom. She also, worked with Nora past, and Nora helped to win her case. I decided to use Nora after being denied, and filing appeals on my own. My house went into Foreclosure, and Nora helped to get my case seen faster due to my circumstances. I really just want to say thank you again for helping me to win my case. I would gladly refer someone to you who is looking for an excellent Social Security Attorney. I really appreciate everything that you have done for me and my family!

I have been very impressed with this lawfirm since the beginning! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. When I call with a question, they are ready and willing to give me answers, I never feel like a nuisance. When I went to court, Nora was very confident and got me a favorable decision the f...irst time around. I would recommend Nora Staum in a heartbeat to anyone trying to win a SSI case!

Ms.Rhonda who works with Ms. Staum Law Firm did an outstanding job on my Disability Case she always kept in touched with my daughter regarding medical status and any questions she had to ask or update on my case. The firm handled my case since I was in the hospital of February 2013 and I received my... benefits August of 2015 Ms. Staum was their to represent me. It was a lengthy process but they made it worth the wait and I was please with the work and effort. I received my back pay compensation, and medical benefits.
