Posted by anonymous | May 07, 2013 | Social Security Disability

Honorable, Persistant and Friendly

He told me from the beginning that if he did not think he could help my son that he would not waste any of our time. Not only was he able to help but after my third time applying for benefits on behalf of my son, he went through the appeals process step by step with us. The judge found in full favo...r of my sons case AND granted his prior application as well. I KNOW I would not have gotten this far with out Mr. Geelhoed's help.

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.
