Edward C. Ahlers

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.

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!

Finding out that I would have to permanently leave the workforce due to my disability was one of the hardest things I had to go through in my life. I was one of the few people that truly loved what they did for a living. So, I was very fortunate to find Ed Ahlers to handle my disability claim. I w...as referred to Ed Ahlers by another attorney that I knew who was very familiar with disability law. She said if she ever personally needed a disability attorney, she would only use Ed Ahlers. She then followed up by saying that he was one of the smartest people she knows. As it turns out, she was correct, and this was an excellent referral! From my first visit with Ed Ahlers, he was very generous with his time, easy to talk to and was very knowledgeable with the whole disability process. I realized that I was in great hands. As the claim progressed through all the phases, he was extremely thorough and detail oriented. He always spent the time to talk with me and he emailed me regularly with updates on my claim. I also worked closely with Barb, his paralegal who was amazing! She was very patient with all my questions and timely with responses in following up. Not only was my disability claim approved on the first try, but Ed Ahlers has helped understand what to expect after the approval. He has answered all the questions that I had and given me a lot of great suggestions as well. If you are considering making a disability claim, I highly advise that you don't do it alone and I highly recommend Ed Ahlers. He should be your only call!

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!
