Edward C. Ahlers

I was at one of the lowest points in my life when I hired Mr. Ahlers. He is courteous and professional and goes out of his way to make sure his clients understand the legal process. Every step of the way he let me know what I needed to do to have my claims approved as well as the steps he was taking..... He always responded to any questions or concerns I had within a reasonable time frame and sometimes immediately. He has an expansive knowledge of the law and won my case. I cannot recommend him or his practice enough. I would give 10 stars if I could.

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!

I was referred to Mr. Ahlers after I had been denied for SSI. I didn't know how to navigate the system and needed guidance. Mr. Ahlers was knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough and communicative. I felt better prepared for the appeal and as a result, was awarded SSI. I could not have done this... without Mr. Ahler's help and I am so grateful! I highly recommend him.

My particular reason for using Ed Ahlers was for a Social Security Disability claim. I will start by saying that Ed is strides above any professional that I have worked with. From my first phone call with Ed, he was so impressive for not only his knowledge of the process but how much he truly cared. ...I don’t think the man ever stops working! A good bit of my communication was email and it seemed that no matter when I emailed him, he responded. I did not have to call him or email him twice, he always was back to me very quickly and many times with extreme detail. From my first initial call with Ed he made me feel like a babe in mama’s arms. I knew that I made the right decision going with Ed to represent me. He was so detailed, so precise in the information sent to the hearing judge that the judge made the ‘YES” decision the day before the hearing, so the hearing was not needed and canceled. I truly feel that Ed went above and beyond for me and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to go through the Social Security Disability process.
