Terrific

Mr Freeman was very straightforward and efficient. He knows his subject very well yet answered my questions in plain English. He always called me back within a day or two. His timelines were accurate too even though ssa is very backlogged. I had been through a failed hearing and an appeal before I me...t him, but he took my case anyway. I knew he could win it, and he did. Thanks Steve!

Life Saver

I'm so glad that I was referred to Steve Freeman by my family attorney. I was at my wits end after being denied Social Security Disabilty benefits twice before going to see Mr. Freeman. He was very straightforward about what I could expect when we appealed my disability claim. He was very thorough in... collecting medical records needed to represent me in the most professional and timely manner as possible. I found Mr. Freeman to be pleasant and he always took the time to answer my questions throughout the process. He is extremely knowledgeable in disability law and I would highly recommend Steven Freeman to anyone in need of services.

Great Attorney

First of all, Stephan Freeman won my social security disability case after we had been previously denied. He was the consummate professional throughout the entire process. Whenever we met, and we always met with Stephan personally, he was fast, efficient and clearly answered all of our questions. ... He contacted us with updates as they arose and was always available for questions. He did what he said he was going to do without fail. He even drove us to the court house. We would definitely recommend his services.

Social Security Disability

Two years ago , I hired Attorney Freeman for help in my disability case. I tired the first time on my own with a outcome of denial. Attorney Freeman laid it all out for me, on what to expect during the process and left nothing out. We sat in front of the hearing Judge, and Attorney Freeman went to ...work. In less than eight weeks I was award my disability, thanks to the professionalism of Attorney Freeman. I would recommend Attorney Freeman to anyone concerning Social Security Disability issues.

Mr. Freeman is Outstanding!!

Mr. Freeman is an outstanding attorney. He was extremely helpful with my disability claim. He is very knowledgeable about the entire Social Security disability process. He always returned my phone calls promptly and kept me well informed of the status of my claim. He tells it like it is and won't mis...lead you. I was very pleased with him and his office staff!
