A+ for my SSD

Joe Roth is the best. He did what I couldn’t do for two and 1/2 years of applying for SSD. I first met with him in September 2015., if I am recalling the month correctly. I finally had a hearing to meet with a Judge in December 2016 along with Joe. He had almost 3 reams of paper of my medical recor...ds. When we met with the. Judge it wasn’t sure what was going on when Joe was called to meet with the Judge without me. Joe returned to the room where I was waiting. Then we were both called to meet with the Judge. The Judge granted my disability application. It’s because Joe was so thorough in collecting my medical records. I was very impressed and appreciated the work he did to get my disability payments. Joe was well worth the commission he received from my benefits. I recommend anyone to contract Joe for any of your needs. It has taken me almost 4 years to type this review because of my depression and physical and mobility problems.

Attorney Joseph Rooth and his office staff always treated me good. When I call in to get updates they were only to helpful. Mr Rooth work hard to gather all necessary medical information from all my doctors. When the time came for my hearing Joe did his best for present my case to the judge. Joe h...andled my workman's comp and my social security disability. If you're looking for an attorney who gets results call attorney Joseph Rooth, I'm glad I did!

An amazing attorney who restored faith.

Mr. Rooth restored my trust and faith in attorneys. I have been trying to get help with disability for a long time. Attorney after attorney said my case was to difficult and did not look like it would be successful. Mr. Rooth took my case, and went all the way with it. At no time did he make me feel... like he was unsure. Mr. Rooth won my case bringing such peace and faith back in our lives. It's already hard to live with the medical issues I live with everyday. Mr. Rooth made it possible to smile again. Mr. Rooth, thank you for restoring my faith in knowing that although it was a fight, you stayed until the final bell. You did a great job and we thank you.

Hired the best lawyer

Mr. Rooth represented me in my social security disability case and I was very pleased throughout the whole process and the outcome. Both him and his staff were very professional, caring, and always there to answer questions. I'm sure I hired the best lawyer in town!

Not just an Attorney the very Best Attorney

MR Rooth is the one Attorney, I can say will treat you with the Highest respect and professionalism that i have ever received from an attorney. His knowledge and strategy along with his guidance and ability to give you no less then 100% ALL the time makes his Firm and staff Second to NONE. IT has ...been a long and emotional road coupled with overwhelming Disabilities. IT has taken a very long time to type this review with my disabilities but the severity of the pain is how much i Believe in this Attorney and his staff and Firm in general. That the least i can do to Repay the outstanding Results. is endure pain to honor the due diligence and support they gave me as a Claimant/client..

"I have known Mr. Rooth for several years. During that time I have referred numerous worker's compensation cases since that is an area that I do not handle in my practice. Joe is Board Certified which is important to me. He has demonstrated superior legal ability and has the highest ethical standards one could hope for. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who has either a worker's compensation claim or for matters involving social security disability claims. He has a superior ability in both areas."
