Approved!!

I’m writing this review in much appreciation of Ed Anderson and how my case was handled and won. Nearly two years ago I hired Ken Miller and his staff to assist me with my Social Security Disability claim. After two denials and a year and a half into my claims process, I received a letter from Ed st...ating he was now the attorney in charge of my case. To say I was hesitant, and quite honestly, disappointed that Ken would no longer be representing me is an understatement. I called the office with my concerns and was told Ed was very experienced and had a great track record. Later that day I received a phone call from Ed and my mind and concerns were quickly eased. Ed did an excellent job preparing for my hearing and getting me prepared as well. Ed was professional in every way, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, upfront and honest about my claim and he promptly returned any phone calls I made to him. I had hundreds and hundreds of pages of medical records and he came ready to present my case to the judge. Ed was instrumental in me being awarded my SSD. I’m very grateful for all the hard work, dedication, and hours that were put in. I would highly recommend Ed Anderson.

Thank you for the nice thoughts, JJ. Yours was a difficult case in front of a difficult judge but in the end, the truth and hard work prevailed! Be well and let me know if we can do anything else for you.

Simply Fantastic

After being turned down by SS department, we hired Mr. Anderson. He went through my husband's medical records and work history with a fine tooth comb. After a review he sent letters to the physicians to complete their medical opinion of his health asking specific questions that will be necessary on...ce the court day arrived. Prior to our day in court, Mr. Anderson sat down with us and went over all the typical questions that would come up based on his experience appearing before the judge in the past. He gave my husband great guidance on how to word his answers so that there we NO vague answers: (instead of sometimes, give a specific number, instead of not far, give a length, etc.). Just prior to the trial date, he sent a letter to the judge outlining the events and medical history leading up to the request for disability. He outlined all the TCA codes which applied and an alternative one that should be considered in the event that any of the one presented were not considered as approved. I would recommend him with no reservation at all to help with anyone's social security request. It was just a couple of months after the court date that my husband started receiving his disability checks.

Thank you for the kind words, Donna. It was a pleasure to help your husband and you get the benefits that he worked so hard for over those many years. I hope the two of you do well and that his condition improves and he can get good medical care now that he will be eligible for Medicare Insurance benefits as well as his Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.

Excellent Representation

Mr. Anderson is very down to earth & easy to talk to. I instantly felt comfortable with him when we first met. After being turned down twice for disability by Social Security, I went in search of an attorney to help with my appeal. I did an internet search for attorneys who were close to my home, ...had good client reviews & success rates of winning their clients' cases. Mr. Anderson began working with me on my case in Dec. of '16 & I had heard from others in similar situations as mine that it could take years before you ever got the opportunity to even have your hearing, so I was a bit apprehensive that things would drag on for quite a while. And, with me only being in my early 40s, I thought the likelihood of being granted benefits were slim. Fortunately, it took less than 2 years for my case to be heard & tried. Mr. Anderson did a great job of representing me & my case in court with the loads of medical records & evidence from my various doctors explaining my various conditions & how they would prevent me from holding down a full time, permanent job. We had our hearing back on August 1 & the judge ruled fully favorable in my case & awarded me disability payments, etc. I'm very grateful to Mr. Anderson for all his hard work on my behalf & would highly recommend him to anyone who's needing help navigating the confusing, lengthy & sometimes frustrating process of applying for disability. Patience paid off in my case & I hope if you decide to hire Mr. Anderson, your experience is as pleasant & rewarding as mine was.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review, Carrie. I appreciate you coming to me to help you with your Social Security disability case and I appreciate the patience you had during what can seem like an unreasonably long process. Your doctors were a great help and you did well at your hearing. I am glad all of our hard work and preparation paid off. If I can help you, or someone you know in the future, I hope you be sure to pass along my telephone number. Thanks again.

Incisive legal knowledge combined w rare strength & patience

Mr. Anderson was a god-send for me. My eldest sister was a nice, Christian, trusting, handicapped lady who was led to construct a terribly ineffective last will & testament. She left multiple tiny bequests to dozens of near-strangers and put her estate into the hands of four -- 4!!! -- non-relatives ...who stood not to gain anything from the proper handling of her estate. A year and a half after her passing, the four appointed executives dropped the bundle of misery into my ignorant, frightened lap. Mr. Anderson patiently and tirelessly untangled the entire awful mess and repeatedly helped me navigate a maze of confusing probate necessities. If it weren't for him, I'm sure the whole thing would still be going on. I'm really grateful for his help, expertise, and patience -- seriously, patience! -- and I can't recommend Mr. Anderson highly enough. He is communicative, helpful, smart, effective, and pleasant. He doesn't give off those "smarter than thou" airs that so many lawyers do. Ed Anderson is the real deal.

Thank you for the kind review. Sometimes people mean well in their wills, but it causes a lot of work for those who are left to carry out their wishes. I'm was glad to help you untangle this mess!

Superior Knowledge & Service

I hired Mr. Anderson after speaking with several other highly rated attorneys for the purpose of shepherding me through the complex and lengthy Social Security disability process. From our first consultation through our Administrative Law Judge hearing last week Mr. Anderson was incredibly proactive ...and positive regarding my application. Although the process of getting to the ALJ hearing phase took nearly a year, Mr. Anderson let me informed at every step and also handled my case with remarkable due diligence, collecting hundreds of pages of medical and financial paperwork for use in supporting the very thorough and persuasive brief that he wrote for the ALJ in advance of my hearing. As the hearing approached, Mr. Anderson scheduled two sessions specifically with me to prep me thoroughly for exactly what to expect at the hearing. We went over my records and he helped me have a clear and very specific understanding of exactly what types of questions the judge would likely have for me at the hearing. All of this preparation paid off; because I knew what to expect in the hearing I was able to understand what sort of info the judge was seeking and I was also able to answer his questions in the way that Mr. Anderson had advised me that he (the judge) would find most helpful. Obviously Mr. Anderson's months of conscientious work on my behalf paid off; the judge told us before the hearing was even over that he had decided to award me Social Security disability benefits plus applicable back pay. I know from my external reading that a positive decision by a judge directly from the judge almost never happens and when it does, it's largely due to the attorney's preparation of his/her client, plus having the appropriate records available along with a clear and compelling brief for the judge to get a concise understanding of the case. I can't recommend Ed Anderson highly enough. I've rarely had a more satisfying experience with a professional service provider. He's also polite, pleasant and always willing to answer all of my questions. I would definitely select him again as my attorney in this or any other similar matter.
