Best attorney I have ever had Great at Communication!!
I have an attorney for my ssi and just wish it were, The Martin Law Group!! I have hired them for my long term disability and I love that fact that they communicate with me all the time!! I am going to see if I can change my ssi attorney to them for this reason. They keep me informed, ask me questions and are there to respond when I have questions! My case is still pending, but I highly recommend them.
