I completely regret hiring these folks. I have had to call them anytime I wanted information on my claim. I submitted my claim 18 months ago, and the contact people have been deteriorating ever since. The last 3 months it has been to the point where I cannot even get a call back from my so-called ...case worker. I have left message after message with no response whatsoever. All you ever get is a recording with a promise that someone will call you back and no one ever does. I am going to a local attorney next week and I am going to have him get my file from these people and make sure they do not try to get any money from me. They are negligent and non-responsive. I have been treated like I do not even exist.

went online and picked this firm for my SSD case, i was denied and then went before the SS admin judge. i talked to my appointed lawyer the nite before my hearing, i asked about papers i had sent in and he said he had what he needed, i offer my paper work and he replied "he wasn't going to go thru a... stack of papers". at my hearing i met him for the first time and only had 15min to review my case before i went before the judge. i was his second client to go before the televised judge, he came out and said to me" this judge is weird and hates florida!" this statement worried me greatly. i asked him how he liked it over here and this SS admin building, he replied" its not west palm beach "and I just want to get this over". we then went in and he honestly didn't do much and didn't have any fight in himself for my case. i asked him about how it went and he was indifferent. when i received the unfavorable decision in writing and reasons why, i reviewed the SSD letter and it was no surprise. the paper work they put together from my doctors with dates and, it a mess with inconsistency that are blatantly obvious. mostly its the time line they defined. It was different to what i have and stated to them. i believe my lawyer should have brought these points up to me. If those discrepancies were rectified then at least my case would have more merit. to be fair this was probably one lawyer out of many so yours may vary.

I'm currently a client with this firm and felt that I needed to look at some of their complaints because it's been almost a year and I have not received any desirable results. My SSD was denied in May... it is December now, shouldn't the appeal be processed by now? I'm living with my mom and her hu...sband and they think I should get another firm to handle my case because of the time and limited contact i've had since L&N began my case in January. In waiting for my case to be approved I've since lost everything I'd worked for over the years. I knew time would be a problem in filing a claim, I just didn't think it would take a year or more. L&N please do your reputation a favor and give your clients good results. Don't just type in replies to all the bad reviews you are getting from your long time clients. To my surprise after looking this info up I see that you have a lot of unsatisfied clients. Now I'm feeling doubtful of your abilities in representing me. I'm gonna have to make some calls to the VA and SS offices to find out if you filed my appeals on time. I'm also going to be researching other attorneys to find out if they can assist with my claims in a timely manner. You know sometimes you have the lives of your clients in your hands. Most of us are at the lowest points in our lives and we put our faith in your law firm thinking that you are as good as the lawyers we see on TV, but you turn out to be burned out employees looking to line your pockets by taking on more cases than you can keep up with. Try to hold yourselves to a higher standard than you seem to be doing now.

Since I first went to the office I was treated very professional, and are moved with me I'm struggling a Social Security disability. I was assigned to Andrea, she is very attentive and professional in their work, whenever I needed this to contact me. Employees also is what a lawyer Excellent fima hum...anitarian needs are and put in place yourself.

I was squared away, but have not been able to refer anyone to this firm. The VA Dept does not answer the phone or follow through. I submitted very important paperwork to a rep and called him back 14 days later and he had forgotten to send it. This is disrespectful and unacceptable to man that has ser...ved this country honorably
