Edward C. Ahlers

Ed Ahlers is one of the nicest men I have ever met. He cares about his clients and was extremely thorough when handling my husband’s workers compensation claim. His law firm took care of my dad several decades ago and he was also recommended from an acquaintance. For 10 years, Ed took care of our ...claim and he got everything we were entitled to. He really cares about people! Both Ed and his assistant, Barb, are thorough and reply in a timely manner. I highly recommend Ed Ahlers!

You do not need to continue looking at anymore reviews for a disability attorney because you have just found the absolute best! I am extremely fortunate to have found Ed Ahlers. He is a fighter, and he will fight for you! He put 110% effort into winning my case. From our very first phone call, Ed ...always made me feel comfortable because he is so easy to talk too and explains things well. I immediately picked up on his dedication and learned quickly that his skill, knowledge, and experience in disability law was extensive. Applying for social security disability benefits can be incredibly stressful especially when you do not have an attorney like Ed. He made it seem easy and took a huge amount of my stress away. Before I even hired Ed, he spent at least an hour of his time answering my many questions about the application process. He returns every phone call quickly, if not immediately. Even on Saturdays and Sundays! He emailed often to make sure I remembered to meet certain deadlines. Ed recently won my case, and it was kind of bittersweet when he gave me the "good" news that I'm disabled. While I did have a physically demanding career, it was also a rewarding one and I never dreamed I would one day be disabled. So, if you are truly disabled, there is only one attorney you want working on your case and that is Ed! I can never begin to thank Ed and his assistant Barbara enough for all their hard work and dedication. I will forever appreciate both and all their efforts.

Ed Ahlers was a wonderful calming and steady force behind our Social Security Disability journey which he garnered us an approval for my daughter. I knew if he was willing to take our case we weren’t crazy. We knew it would be difficult, tedious and time intensive but Ed took the lead, told us all we... needed to know in a timely manner as well as knew exactly when and how to stay on our radar with important deadline reminders. He wasn’t encouraging rather realistic which forced us always keep our expectations low as we went along. He filed everything, kept great notes and worked on a clear strategy that was the winning thing to do. From the very first random phone conversation over a year ago to explain my daughter’s situation, to today picking up a giant box of paperwork from her closed file, I am so grateful I took the chance to seek out Ed. He has seen a lot. He knows the system, the players and puts that knowledge into action for what we all hope for which is a successful outcome. My daughter’s case was denied twice and went to a live hearing with a very tough judge and a month later the decision was an approval. Barbara his assistant has his back and they work so beautifully together to insure the best communication and follow up for the clients. I HIGHLY recommend Ed Ahlers and his team. If you are stuck and worried about the daunting task for yourself or someone you are assisting and you get the opportunity to have Ed’s energy and time, you are getting the very best.

I've known Mr. Ahlers for 10 years know on a professional level and more recently as a client. Being a former office manager I met Ed in the fall of 2006 when he referred a Bwc patient to the multi- disciplinary medical practice where I worked. Over the years I've watched Mr Ahlers fight For, and wi...n, the majority of the hearings for his clients and our patients. He is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and empathetic to those he represents. His staff, and more importantly Ed, go above and beyond in making certain that they have everything necessary to fight denials or get patients the necessary treatments or financial support they need from the BWC, personal injury, and social security disability. As a client on two separate occasions Ed made the processes easy and eased my fears and concerns. The 1st time was over an extended warranty on my vehicle. The insurance company denied our claim for services when our motor blew stating we did not follow the guidelines set forth in our contract. I got all the necessary documents and notes regarding the situation to Ed and in an extremely short period of time they overturned their denial and we received the appropriate compensation for the repairs. Over the past 6 years I've experienced numerous disabling conditions involving my low back, neck and most recently my hip. I worked for my pain management physician, have undergone numerous surgical procedures, and did many injections, physical therapy treatments, chiropractic treatment and massage therapy to no avail. My conditions continued to worsen. My employer made an extensive amount of accommodation for me as I want to work but eventually the pain got too extreme and I was regularly missing work, going in late or leaving early. Making the decision to file for Social Security disability was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made. Ed made sure that all the necessary documents, expert proof from my physicians, personal references from friends, colleagues, and former employers was received and supportive of my claim. Being a mother of 5 children this was a very stressful period for me and my family as I've always been the primary income as I have a degree in business management. Ed was always confident my case would be resolved in my favor. He walked me through the parts of the process I didn't have much knowledge in and reassured me when my fears would overwhelm me as he is well aware I can no longer be employed. He, and his great staff, took care of everything they needed to and let me know what I needed to take care of in plenty of time since he understands chronic pain interferes with every aspect of a person's life including timely completing tasks as simple as making sure the reference letters are complete and turned in prior to the hearing date and any additional documents from medical providers are completed or additional diagnostic tests ordered get performed. Many times with chronic medical conditions and pain remembering to do the simplest tasks (making phone calls, emailing references to get letters, getting diagnostic tests completed) are difficult as the pain attempts to take all Energy and attention due to the severity. When it came time for my hearing I was extremely anxious about it and Ed once again reassured me that everything would be ok and I have the medical conditions and supportive testimony to meet the SSDI requirements. He met me prior to my hearing to call my fears and go over the process again, calmed my fears and let me know to be myself and answer the judges questions as completely and honestly as possible. A month later I received my letter stating the decision was made in my favor. The process still wasn't complete and Ed stayed in regular contact with me regarding the next steps and getting my back pay, Medicare and the additional payments for my minor children. In a professional and personal situation I'd refer to Ed as I've seen his results. Thanks
