Great attorney

We have felt nothing but confidence with John during our journey with SS disability. He is professional, courteous and so knowledgeable. The whole process seemed like a daunting task and after our first meeting we felt like we were in good hands. Would highly recommend his services.

Social Security Disability

In choosing an attorney, I wanted to find one among the highest % of winning ratios in the state of Tennessee. I found John Dreshier and got a consultation quickly. I was satisfied with how thoroughly he questioned me to determine my chances of winning. That was important to me because I didn't want... to waste time if my chances weren't good. Mr. Dreiser was up front about obstacles we may run into and the length of time it would take considering the state of Tn had been behind in processing claims. I appreciated his transparency and felt confident in choosing him. His paralegal, Sarah Turner has been phenomenal. She has walked me through every step of my journey. I'm so glad I went with John and Sarah. They made it as easy as possible for me right from the very beginning.

FAVORABLE DECISION SS DISABILITY

Mr Dreiser was excellent representative in my granddaughter's application for disability. He was very thorough in his preparation and in keeping us informed of process and expected time frames involved. I feel that his presentation during hearing before Judge was very effective. A favorable decision... was received. We highly recommend Mr Dreiser.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
