Excellent lawyer

I feel that he handled my case extremely well, I was well informed and he was very honest about everything. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Bill B. Berke

After two denials for S.S. disability I was referred to Mr. Berke"s Law Firm by another lawyer. I was mostly in touch with his legal assistant, Melissa. She was very kind and patient with me. She was quick to answer any questions, calm any doubts I had and address them to Mr. Berke. He contacted m...e several times over the next year and a half and helped me to understand what my part in this case was. I was finally scheduled for a hearing before the Administrative Law Judge. Mr. Berke present the facts to my case clear and precise. I was very impressed by his professionalism and the was he address certain things in my case so that they weren't overlooked by the Judge. I won my case and I would recommend his office to anyone trying to deal with S.S.A. and disability. You would not be disappointed. I'd give him and his staff 5 stars.

I Hired Mr. Bill Berke for a Disability case.

I had been trying to win a Disability case on my own for a year and kept getting turned down. I was ready to give up until I was given Mr. Berke's name. It was an absolute blessing to have him on my side through this struggle. He made it a learning experience rather than a discouraging experience. H...e explained everything so I understood "why" and "what for" I needed to do certain things. I knew enough and understood enough to know that if I were to get turned down one final time there was a reason for it and I didn't deserve it. I knew in my heart that I deserved to win and I did!! He is quite an attorney.

Excellent Service

I would advise anyone going for disability to hire an attorney. They know a lot that you don't and they assure you along the way that this is a very long process. Throughout this process you largely deal with a paralegal, who in my case was excellent. The paralegal keeps the attorney advised throu...ghout the process. The lawyer comes in at the end of the process when you have your hearing scheduled. Mr. Berke spent a lot of time going over how a hearing works. My outcome was successful. I am very grateful to the entire Bill Berke Law Firm. I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking disability.

Good Job

Concerning the Law Firm of Mr. Bill Berke Mr. Berke and his assistant Melissa Burns not only accepted my case for disability, but they helped me throughout the entire process. It can be quite unsettling and nerve wracking to say the least, but I have to give them an A plus as they stayed with... mefrom the initial filing of paperwork, through my successful outcome before the Administrative Law Judge. They were quick to answere any and all questions I had and I never once felt like I was left to fend for myself. The Berke law firm is the best and if you're having a problem with your disability claim I highly recommend them. Melissa Burns..just giving you a big thumbs up, for keeping me updated and informed as you helped me through this most difficult time. You are a true asset to the Berke law firm. Once again, THANKYOU both for your professionalism and courtesy towards me and my disability case. Sincerely, Mr. Jeff Eustis, Florida
