Edward C. Ahlers

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

In 2012, I answered a TV ad for a firm stating that they specialized in social security disability. They did not. They pulled the bait and switch on me. The firm that I got stuck with refused to meet me. In 2014, six weeks before my court date, they pulled out, leaving me helpless. I contacted Edwar...d Ahlers, who was highly recommended. Not only did he meet me in person, he was always available to talk to on the telephone. Ed got an extension and helped me get prepared for the hearing. It felt good to have someone who believed in me and that I believed in. Ed helped me win my case and stayed with me until EVERYTHING was resolved. I feel that I not only had the best lawyer possible, I always gained a new friend. I would not hesitate to recommend him (in fact, I already did). I cannot give enough praise for this man! He was a life saver!

Mr. Ahlers was very concise, realistic in explaining his expecations, responsive and absoutely wonderful in his handling of my disability case. He came to my home for our initial consultation, and always clearly communicated his requirements for the information he needed from me and my physicians. Mr.... Ahlers always promptly returned my calls, communicated very professionally and showed great care and concern in regards to my case. He is a pleasure to work with and I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know that may need representation in his field.
