Excellent experience
I am so glad that I went to Miss Rita for my social security disability case. I was in such a bad place in my life and didn't know what else to do. I had two other attorneys reject my case but Rita helped from day 1. Thank you Miss Rita. Highly recommend her.

Rita was so amazing when I submitted my claim. She always was there for me when I needed her. I went through such a hard time not being able to work because of my back injury and she made the whole process so easy. I am so happy I chose this law firm.

Thank you
I can't thank you and your office enough for winning my case. It was a long fight but I received my approval by the judge after 2 years of waiting and their doctor said I wasn't even disabled after I had my hearing. Thank u again.

Not respectful, unethical, unprofessional.
If a friend were to ask me how I felt about Mrs. Shoka, I would say that I wish I had gone with a different law firm. "Call me with any questions" she says, and yet she never returned my calls, and when I did receive a call back it was someone else at the firm. She told me I wouldn't receive much...
Our law firm worked diligently in successfully obtaining Social Security Benefits for you in a relatively short period of time. The amount of back pay is processed by a payment center and there is no way to know the actual benefit and back pay amounts until the notice of award is issued to the client and attorney. Therefore, we would not have commented on your potential back pay award. As for the attorney fee, that is regulated by the federal government. We have no control over the attorney fee award. Our office has represented Social Security claimants throughout Michigan for years in an ethical and professional manner. If you have any questions, please contact the Law offices of Lee Steinberg for further clarification.
