Very disapointed

When I met and hired her to represent me to get SS she seemed great, next thing I know everything goes through her daughter Caitlin, she returns my calls and does all paperwork involved . Then nothing for months so finally I contacted Teresa Daniel's to see what's going on and was told her daughter d...idn't file my apeal. I met with Mrs. Daniel's to sign some forms then months go by and I don't hear nothing so after a few phone calls out of the blue she answered. Said she gave my name to another lawyer that she no longer does SS cases. She could have wrote me a letter or called me. This was a year and a half later. I was so upset, and the lawyer that she said had my bad, has yet to return any of my voicemail messages so now I'm representing myself. She had better not try to get one cent when I win my case!

I sincerely regret the experience this client had with this office. I strive to deliver oustanding personal service and, unfortunately, that did not happen in this case. Corrective actions have been taken to address this issue. Thank you for the invaluable feedback.

Excellent

I started out trying to file for disability on my own. I was denied twice, despite having multiple major medical conditions. I hired Theresa to take my case to hearing level, and I am very happy that I did. Not only was the Daniels Law team very professional, but they made me feel like a person, n...ot just another client. They were instrumental in getting my disability case approved. Theresa and her staff were very thorough. They explained the appeal/hearing process to me so that I understood the time line, the process, and what to expect. They sent me letters to let me know they were monitoring my case. Theresa's office contacted me prior to my hearing multiple times to make sure they had all of my most recent medical records. Theresa herself met with me again prior to my hearing to go over what would happen during the hearing, and this made me feel more comfortable, and less anxious about the upcoming hearing. She is a highly skilled attorney and did a terrific job during the hearing. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking representation for a disability case.
