Recommended SSD Lawyer

Thanks to James Greeman and his team they have been so helpful during my process and preparation of my disability hearing. He has showed amazing work, compassion, empathy, and relentless dedication to the process and myself throughout this journey. Thanks to James Greeman I was able to obtain disabil...ity and have relief from the stress of going through the hearing process.

You literally have no risk with Greenman and Toomey

Greenman and Toomey were excellent! I was deemed disabled mentally at 33. The stigma that comes with it is truly awful. Anxiety/depression and panic disorder are no "pill" fix illness. I was helped through day 1 when they decided to take my case on and from there, there were very few tasks that I w...as assigned to do. They collected all the medical records, set up the appointments for doctors and few all the way from MN to UT to go in front of the federal judge (btw, this is extremely common, you will rarely be awarded your benefits without 2 denials first. So do not get discouraged when you read comments like these that mention going to federal court. They help prepare you with what the questions will be, and you are call them or text them anytime of the day and get a response. They charge the same as any other SSDI attorney which is never the same as the next person, its based on your numbers, but the formula they use is the same across the bored so do not worry about being "overcharged" or anything. if you accrue any fees along the way (Sometimes drs will charge for your entire medical history or to have forms notarized) then you pay it at the very end of the process. If for any reason you are denied at the federal hearing level and are denied benefits, then you owe them NOTHING. so there is really no risk at all to call them. I live in utah and picked these guys because of their location and his percentage of awarded clients. I will say that a lot of the times, the judge you are assigned makes a HUGE difference in whether or not you win your case. Every state has one but you rarely get the judge in your own home state. so there is that to consider as a factor that is beyond anyones control. A+++

Five-Star Service and Results from Greeman Attorney’s Office

Mr. Greeman has been absolutely amazing! From the very first call, his team treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine care. They took the time to explain every step of my disability case and always made sure I understood what was happening. Their professionalism and dedication made a stressful p...rocess so much easier. Thanks to their expertise, my case was successful, and I finally feel a sense of relief. I highly recommend Greeman Attorney’s Office to anyone needing help with a disability claim — they truly go above and beyond for their clients!

Disability

I hired James Greeman at the end of my disability process to represent me in appeals court as it was my last opportunity to win my case. He swiftly took over from there and after a year battling on my own, he won my case in 20 minutes in court. Any time I had questions or needed to get a hold of him,... he answered promptly and professionally. James’ staff is equally great and they removed all of the stress of gathering any necessary medical records or legal forms. Hiring James not only comes with an A+ lawyer but also an A+ law firm behind him.

Approved Upon Hiring Greeman Toomey

I like to take this opportunity to personally thank Greeman Toomey PLLC and each individual law representative who worked on my case over these last 2 years which consisted of James Greeman, Ryan Miner, Natalie Melcher and all those behind the scenes that came together for the greater good to get an ...approval for me after all my previous attempts at getting approved on my own were unsuccessful.  When I first begin my journey i applied for SSI/SSDI on my own and I was subsequently denied twice before ultimately discovering that dealing with the Social Security Administration was much more complicated than I originally thought. Along the journey of my denials I learned that filing for SSI/SSDI benefits because I had a qualified disability that limited my ability to work and being approved for SSI/SSDI were two different barriers and applicants must navigate both parameters.  In theory, having a qualified disability that limited my ability to work should suffice however it takes an experienced Attorney to apply Law to each factor. After my 2nd denial I said to myself if I wanted to have the best chance at winning my case or any future endeavor with SSA I would need a strong legal team to help navigate the complicated and rigorous bureaucracy of SSA. The SSA is a Federal Agency and have great Attorneys and Medical Staff and I needed to be equally prepared otherwise I would continue being denied. Greeman Toomey removed each barrier the moment their law office took my case and rallied behind me. I couldn’t have done it without them. Thanks to Greeman Toomey, I received a Full Favorable decision by the Law Judge thanks to my legal team for fighting for my rights, taking a stand for me and presenting my case with the correct legal terms and findings of facts.  I recommend you hire Greeman Toomey if you are applying for Social Security benefits. Not only will they vigorously fight for you they will maintain a stress free environment for you. You just sign paperwork and they will do the rest. They want you to focus on your health and medical treatment moving forward.
