Edward C. Ahlers

When I did an online search for the top-rated disability lawyer in Ohio, Ed Ahlers's name came up under the heading of being a SUPER Lawyer. It is true. That is exactly what he did. He tackled one of the largest transportation carriers with their multiple lawyers, who were attempting to defraud me of... my company disability insurance after I was initially approved for it. They didn't respect his experience and ability to know the laws until he began communicating to them regarding the legalities of the situation, and that a lawsuit would be next if not resolved. Of course, it was resolved. They would have lost. Ed is knowledgeable and professional. He is persistent in getting every case resolved. He spent time and effort on my case to ensure we get a positive resolution. I certainly appreciated Ed's expertise handling this disability issue with my former employer. His secretary, Barb, was pleasant in communicating some information as well. He is a great choice to handle anyone's disability legal issues. The initial consultation is important. He thoroughly goes over everything with you and clearly explains what he can do to resolve the issues for you. I know why he was listed as a Super Lawyer firsthand.

Ed Alers recovered 5 months back pay for my short term disability owed to me from work. Took 1 month to get payed with no stress. Then he advised me to file online for ssi while I was being treated.. this surprised me. So I took his advise and filed.. 10 months later and many procedures and 5 Dr....s later I got a denial letter. I called Mr Alers and sent him the letter and told him I was ready to file because I had alot of health issues... he started in Sept 2024 e sign consent forms, gave him all my patient portal log ins.. afterwards the only thing I did for 4 months was email him the dates of each office visit.. he would log in and email ss all Dr notes and procedures etc...Jan 2, 2025. 4 months I got an acceptance email from social security. I didn't have to see their lawyer, no court, no judge. I'm so grateful and in aw of the kindness Ed Ahlers and his team gave me. Thank you for everything Debbie R.

I would recommend Ed Ahlers to anyone that is facing the possibility of , or has had their LTD benefits stopped by an insurance company. He was extremely helpful in getting my benefits reinstated. He walked me thru the process, explaining in simple terms the path that needed to be taking, I had no id...ea of what to do , or even how the appeal process worked. He guided me on the medical information that I would need to collect from my primary care physician and my pulmonologist concerning my updated medical condition. In addition to that, he advised me that a Functional Capacity Evaluation and a Vocational Assessment Report would be extremely helpful in my appeal. Mr. Ahlers filed all the necessary paperwork to the insurance company , including a lengthy and very professional letter explaining why their decision should be reversed and my benefits reinstated immediately . Mr Ahlers and his assistant Barb, who is very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable, kept me updated at all times and responded immediately to my phone calls , text messages and e-mails. Upon filing my appeal Ed called to let me know the insurance company had 45 days to review and respond . He called me two weeks later to give me the awesome news that the insurance company had contacted him to let him know that after reviewing the documents he had sent, they agreed my benefits would be re-instated. Thanks to Mr. Ahlers and Barb my benefits have been re-instated with back pay. I cannot recommend Mr. Ahlers and his law firm highly enough!
