Edward C. Ahlers

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!

I hired Ed after my first attempt to receive SS disability was denied. He is a very detailed, thorough, and professional attorney. He took the time to review my medical history and then explained the process to me. He kept me informed and guided me through the process. He answered every email and re...turned all my calls. I don’t think that I could have found a harder working Attorney.

We were referred to Ed thru another person. What an amazing decision. Ed was clear and upfront about how his practice operated & what we should expect thru the process. He always kept us informed & would answer any questions quickly. We felt Ed treated us as people first & clients second. Even h...is admin (Barb) operates in the same fashion. We are so happy we found Ed to help us thru a very confusing process.

From our very first contact to the conclusion of my husband's disability case, Ed Ahlers exceeded my expectations! The disability process can be so confusing, frustrating – not to mention protracted, but from the outset, Ed explained things in detail and was always quickly responsive when we reached... out to him. His skills, savvy, and kindness (a too rare combination) are remarkable, and he was invariably candid, patient, and sincere during every phase of the process. Mr. Ahlers is truly a man of integrity and character. He made no promises as to the outcome but fought tooth and nail at every step. Ultimately, because of Ed’s expertise and hard work, our case had a favorable outcome. But perhaps just as important, both my husband and I felt validated and respected by Ed throughout his handling of the case. And his assistant Barb is also amazing and helpful! I truly cannot recommend Mr. Ahlers highly enough!
