I did not hire him or disability help group

When I saw his name on my SSA document I had no documentation of me requesting services. When I asked social security to remove me they denied to and when I asked disability help group to terminate services the declined to do it and I even contacted office of inspector general they never return my ca...lls. I'm following up with the state bar of California. I'm disabled and over $4000 was taking from me. When I worked my case on my own.

Scammer

This man scammed me bad, he didn't stand up to the judge at all. I was told a percentage for them and they are trying to get more out of my tiny check when in fact I should of been able to receive much more on disability but instead I only got SSI. I have held a job most of my life and the judge only... went back one year. The 3 years before I was hurt bad in a accident. And had no choice but to go on SS.

Attorney Scott Layden can you give zero stars?

Scott layden represented me in my disability case which I started in Nov. in December I went back to work and received a call from Scott Layden He told me he was not going to take my case because I went back to work. He stated he would have nothing to do with any future dealings with me. I contin...ued on with ssi and did all the work myself. When I was approved for ssi I received my back pay from ssi. Minus 25% of my back pay to the attorney. I called Scott Landry and expected him to apologize for the mistake and reimburse me. He told me he was keeping it and I asked why? I said you dismissed my case after a couple weeks . He said we filed for you. I said so you’re going to keep the whole 25% of what was paid to you? I told him you quit! I can understand keeping a filling fee but to actually keep the whole 25% (the most disability attorneys are allowed) is beyond understanding! I did all the work. It makes my stomach sick that they would do this. I have read other reviews for Neiderman and associates and found a lot of other reviews basically the same as mine. Others…being fired for incompetence and still going after the persons disability back pay. Shame on you!

Scammer!!!!!

I contacted him to get representation with my disability claim. Speaking with a representative of his company, I indicated I was in the reconsideration process. I gave them information for I thought case understanding but they filled a new claim. I did not know this until I hired him. Adam called me ...indicating they filled a new claim and I asked him why? He said don’t worry about that. He then said he couldn’t represent me and it would be up to me to undo the second application they’d filled. I explain my unique situation prior to them accepting me.
