Kenneth Lewis LaVan

I just don't understand. I have been dealing with this firm since 2013. I am really shocked and appealed by the way everything went. Had to scrape up money to catch a plane down there for court on May 11. After I was done with court she tells me if you don't hear anything in 30 days call. Been callin...g since June 12 2015. No return calls oh she will call you nothing until finally today after hours 5:50 PM she calls with very disturbing news. So after being told the decision I just wanted and still do take a knife thru my heart. How do they say I'm not disabled you don't know my pain you don't know what I feel and just like I told her this is gonna take me over the edge. And tell me you put in appeal for what another 20 years I may be have killed myself tonite this really hurts a lawyer is supposed to fight for you. An appeal may be to late for me. Truly disappointed. Truly truly disappointed.

For three decades I tried to have a fair and honest evaluation by the VA concerning my numerous disabilities.Years of frustration came to a head one night when I responded to an ad by Lavan/Neidenberg. A representative came to my residence with all the forms needed to get the ball rolling, and in mo...nths instead of years, justice was finally served, and I received a positive outcome. Dealing with the VA takes time, be patient. If you have a legitimate claim you will get results, as they stay on top of it and never missed a filing deadline. I can't thank them enough for changing my life for the better.

I know that it takes awhile for SSD to begin....but I do know some people that was with your firm and started receiving benefits within 3 months...and they did not have to attend a hearing....I chose this firm because I had heard a lot of positive feedback...I must say not in my case...I have spoken ...with my case manager Becky and must say she has been patient as I vent to her about how long it is taking...But from my side if i still have to wait approx. 18-24 months for a hearing, I might as well do it myself...I can get my medical records and just wait it out....I thought getting a lawyer would speed up my time for a hearing...I don't really have anything to negative or positive to say because.... I am just waiting...I submitted my papers with your firm December 17 and I filed with Social Security in February 2014....my doctors are waiting to receive papers from your firm to complete but nothing has been mailed to them yet....looks like everybody is waiting...I must compliment the caseworker Betsy she listens and she does return my calls...,just wish I could my hearing scheduled..

18 months in and have talked to case worker maybe 3-4 times most of which I have initiated. Since my second denial I am now awaiting my court date with my new case worker aphlene?, I have not had one call, I have talked to her maybe twice when I call (have to wait up to 3 days for call back according... to the VM ) have had two letters from odar but nothing from her saying she is aware (is she?) The last one from alj in Baltimore needing documents to expedite my case(have my local congressman via liaison) case will be in Tampa via video would be great if you all are as up to date as I am ..... I already had to go get all of my own medical records and mail to you even signed several forms for you to do so?, do I get any live communication as to the hearing? Who will be there with me?, what do they do?, what do I do?, can I bring a personal witness (wife)?, or do I show up and find out who's with me? Can I have a better case worker( more responsive) not blaming time length on you, but communication is really bad!! I often wonder if your disability case loads are too many? Waiting until after hearing for a more accurate review. Crowley 5653 all info on file, really hope I haven't made a bad choice this is my life at stake.
