Applied for Social Security Disability

Mrs. Gottesman was very approachable with any questions . I felt at ease with her. She processed all my paperwork immediately. I had heard so many confusing stories about this process and she made it a breeze. I received my disability in a very timely manner. Very pleased with Mrs. Gottesman and y...our company. Thank You.

Michelle is AMAZING!

I've interacted with many attorneys, as a former law student, and I can say with confidence that Michelle is the premier SSDI attorney in Michigan (and any other states she's licensed to practice in for that matter). She runs a private practice and she and her staff are extremely responsive (a rarity... with any attorney), keeps clients informed, and is an empathetic, compassionate person. My husband has pretty severe emotional disabilities stemming from a plethora of traumatic events he endured throughout his life and she is always so patient and never loses her cool dealing with him even though he tends to panic. I cannot thank her enough for getting my husband the disability he earned!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
