NEVER USE THIS LAWYER AGAIN EVER

I WENT TO JODI TO FILE A SOCIAL SECURITY CLAIM FOR DISABILITY SEEN HER MAYBE 3 TIMES ALL TOGETHER IN 2 YEARS. WENT TO HER THE DAY BEFORE MY HEARING WITH A JUDGE AND SHE TOLD ME WHAT TO EXPECT, WHAT SHE WOULD ASK ME AND SO ON. WELL, THE NEXT DAY BEFORE THE JUDGE IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT ALL LIKE SHE SAID.... SHE DID NOT ASK ME BUT LIKE 2 THINGS WE HAD DISCUSSED AND DID NOT TELL THE JUDGE THINGS SHE SHOULD HAVE. SHE HAD NOT EVEN LOOKED UP THIS JUDGE TO SEE HER RATINGS WHICH MOST LAWYERS DO - THIS JUDGE 80% OF THE TIME DOES NOT GIVE WOMEN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS. IF JODI HAD LOOKED THAT UP MAYBE SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN SHE HAD TO GO IN FULL FORCE. ANYWAY, WHEN RECEIVED THE LETTER THAT I HAD LOST WITH THE JUDGE, I CALLED JODI'S OFFICE BECAUSE IT SAID IF I WANTED TO APPEAL I HAD SO MUCH TIME TO DO IT IN. I WAS ASK BY THE SECURITY WHY I NEEDED TO TALK TO JODI, I TOLD HER, SHE THEN SAID I COULD TALK TO JODI'S ASSISTANT BUT NOT JODI AND THAT JODI DID NOT DO APPEAL AND THAT MY CASE WAS OVER WITH THEM AND THAT THE LETTER I HAD PROBABLY HAD A NAME OF AN APPEALS LAWYER ON IT I COULD FIND AN APPEAL LAWYER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IF NOT SHE GAVE ME A NUMBER TO ONE. SERIOUSLY MY CASE WAS DONE AND I COULD NOT TALK TO JODI. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JODI'S OFFICE TELLING ME I OWED HER LIKE " $150.00. FOR WHAT THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO GET MONEY "UNLESS" YOU WIN. I LOOKED IT WAS AN ITEMIZED BILL WITH FORS FOR LETTERS SHE MAILED TO ME, EVERY STAMP SHE SENT ME A LETTER IN. EVERY FAX SHE DONE, EVERYTHING SHE CLAIMS SHE HAD TO ASK THE DOCTORS TO SEND. BUT GET THIS EVERY TIME I WENT TO ANY DOCTOR I WENT TO HER OFFICE OR MAILED HER OUT ANY PAPERWORK I COULD GET FROM THEM ABOUT WHATEVER THEY DONE WITH ME SO WHAT WAS IT THAT SHE HAD TO GET FROM THEM ??? AND WHEN IT SAYS YOU DO NOT PAY IF WE DO NOT WIN AND SHE DIDN'T, SO WHY AM I BEING CHARGED ????? SHE HAS A FAX MACHINE IN HER OFFICE SO WHY CHARGE ME TO SEND A FAX. JUST CRAZY. AND WAITED 2 YEARS TO GET THE HEARING BEFORE THE JUDGE TO FIND THAT THE JUDDGE

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
