Michael Bloom is the best of the best in SSI Attorneys

If you are looking for an incredible SSI disability attorney, then look no further as you won't find anyone better than Michael Bloom. You will not find a better, knowledgeable, professional or experienced SSI lawyer anywhere in my opinion. He is the best of the best in his field, and I know with...out a shadow of a doubt that my case would not have been won with any other attorney representing me due to the complexity. After retiring from law enforcement, I have testified in court more than 700 times and have met many, many attorneys; a lot of which I am still friends with. Not all attorneys are at the same level, and that goes for both defense attorney and SSI attorneys. I had consulted with a total of (3) SSI attorneys including Michael, and it was a no brainer to go with him. I can promise you that if your case is even 1% winnable, he will win it. That's how confident I was in his representation. A couple of quick things. DO NOT START THE APPLICATION PROCESS WITHOUT HIRING MICHAEL. I mention this because if you are like me, you figure that all of the medical evidence on your behalf would be a no brainer for approval. It does not work that way. By going through the process first without representation you really make Michael's job harder. I waited until the appeals process thinking to myself that there was no way I would be denied with the permanent disabling injuries I was facing. Furthermore, having written thousands of reports and navigating the court process in my job, I convinced myself that it would be stupid to hire an attorney and possibly lose some of the back pay money that comes with approval. That was a huge mistake. I believe if you go into the process with no arms and legs and are only a living torso, your claim would still be denied. The system is not in your favor. So, despite it being a long review I hope that you realize that there is no way you can successfully navigate this process without Michael in your corner. Michael came on board during my appeal process and there is ZERO CHANCE I would have one by myself or with another attorney representing me. That's the confidence I have him. Thank you Michael for being there for me and other people who find themselves in this stressful SSI disability process. Despite all the hardships I caused by trying to apply and go through the process on my own, Michael still won my case and I am forever grateful.

Refused to take my case

I apparently have a case that is a bit complex so there is more work involved hence the reason I really need an Attorney. I was excited when I came across Attorney Michael Bloom online because of his excellent reviews, he really seemed like an Attorney who cared and fought for his clients rights. ...Unfortunately after a short question and answer session online he said he would not take my case. He never asked me about any injuries or medical diagnosis that I have. Apparently Attorney Bloom is only interested in taking on the easy cases and isn't interested in helping the people who really are in need of an Attorney.
