A Ray of Hope

After being denied disability several times I felt as if no one believed I was even injured. I was at another doctor's appointment and I overheard a woman who had a similar story like my own. After she finished talking I expressed my current circumstance. She gave me Paulette Balin's office number.... After a brief consultation my husband and I could see the energy and confidence this vibrant lawyer had. For the first time someone assured me that my injuries were valid and she was sure that she could not only help but win the case. After only a few months I received a letter from Social Security that my disability had been approved. I must have starred at this letter for days!!! I not only rejoiced and thanked God but also this wonderful lawyer who was simply a messenger sent by Him. My husband and I are eternally grateful for her giving me my life back!!! Paulette Balin is hospitable, energetic, confident and intelligent. I recommend her highly and her staff highly if you have any issues similar to mine.

Excellent service from attorney Paulette Balin

I was referred to Ms. Balin by my dentist because I became disabled sometime in 2007. (Social Security had denied my cIaim.) I met with Ms. Balin and hired her right away. That was the best move I ever made. I have a very rare disease (Churg Strauss vasculitis), and obviously the powers that be ne...ver heard of it and had no code for it. Ms. Balin contacted my doctors, and the state required two different exams on me. Ms. Balin fought for me all the way, and she did finally get disability awarded to me. She and her office were wonderful to work with. I recommended her to several other people, and she took great care of them aslso.

Lynn, Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful, positive review of your experience hiring Balin Law. We are so please that you had such a positive experience, and moreover, that we could win you disability benefits that you are so deserving of. Having such a unique, rare, disability can be challenging in court, but we believed, fought, and our hard work paid off.

When I first applied for disability i did it without an attorney and was denied. I was given the name of Paulette Balin from Signature Health and contacted her. She took my case and fought for me. She even took it to the Federal Courts because they kept denying me for things not involved in my case. ...It might have taken a few years to finally get my disability but she never gave up and won my case.

Suicidal and Mute = No service

Spent months getting a consult doing the documents. Finally called via 711 relay, they didn’t understand what that was. I’ve explained to them what it needs to be muted and how to communicate with me. The morning of my consultation I had a crisis and LPD tried to show up to take me away, so I couldn’...t answer the call. I mentioned it to her and it was just too much for her and she said that she’s not gonna give me services anymore. she said this over the relay call and basically implied that this really college is too much for her and she’s gonna text me which she then said too bad Thanks
