Edward C. Ahlers

STOP, look no further, for you have just found one of the best Attorneys in Cincinnati. Mr. Ahlers will go the distance, and is quite diligent in doing everything he can to win your disability case. Through some research of my own I was lucky to have found him. After two years of receiving disab...ility benefits through my employer, I was denied under the two year ruling that many disability insurance companies use to stop paying benefits. I attempted to file two appeals, however both were denied. I called for appointment with Mr. Ahlers, and proceeded to walk in with my box of failure. We spoke for over a couple of hours. I found him to be engaging, empathic, professional, and very knowledgeable in the expertise of employer long term disability (LTD). Soon after the meeting, Mr. Ahlers had me undergo a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE). Once that was finalized, he brought in a Vocational Expert to complete a vocational analysis on what had been done. Together, they all formulated a plan to present to my insurance company. I called them the 'dream team'! Mr. Ahlers had successfully won my case within several months, all while keeping me abreast of everything. I could never have dreamt for such a smooth legal case. Thank you Mr. Ed Ahlers for having come into my life. I have passed out you're number to all of my friends, and will keep it on speed dial for myself.

Ed Ahlers made a hugh difference in our lives (my wife and I). I have Parkinson's Disease and was denied Long Term Disability by my employers insurance underwriter. My wife and I met with Ed for over an hour explaining our situation. He was able to convince the insurance underwriter that my claim... should have been approved. It was in fact approved and back dated to the date it should have originally been approved. Thank you again Ed.

Mr. Ahlers did a fine job of handling my wife's LTD and SSDI claims. The LTD claim went smoothly and her SSDI claim was approved on the initial application. He took the time to to keep us updated at every step. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends as his efforts were very succe...ssful for us.

Mr. Ahlers assisted me with both an appeal on an LTD claim and filing, appeal, and hearing for Social Security Disability. Before I signed on with him, he explained what the process would look like, and what struggles could confront us through the process. My appeal for LTD was approved on the firs...t attempt, which was great for everyone. Mr. Ahlers was in it for the long run, keeping me apprised of anything as it came up, after the 2 initial denials for Social Security, it took 2 years to get a hearing date. All through that time, we touched based periodically and when it came time for the hearing, he prepared me for what to expect.

After foolishly applying for social security disability myself, and getting rejected, I was referred to Ed Ahlers by another attorney at Crowley, Ahlers, and Roth. (They also doggedly worked to get my wife her rightful worker's compensation benefits!) Mr. Ahlers took everything in hand, relieving me ...of the substantial paperwork burdens required by the SSA. He communicated with my doctor to get the perfect answers to the relevant questions. When an initial appeal resulted in a second denial, I was ready to give up. Instead, Ahlers took it on himself to both boost me and prove to SSA that their analysis was not just wrong but unjust. He filed for direction with an administrative law judge who declared positive judgement for my case. Without Ed, I would be killing myself trying to work again. Instead the judge agreed with him that SSA was absolutely wrong in their denial!
