The Help That Made My Stability Possible

I cannot say enough good things about Greeman Toomey PLLC and the incredible support I received throughout my Social Security disability case. During a very difficult time in my life, I was navigating my disability with little to no income, unsure of how I was going to move forward. The process felt ...overwhelming until I connected with their firm. Working with James H. Greeman truly changed everything for me. He was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also compassionate and patient. He took the time to explain each step clearly, making what could have been a confusing and stressful process feel structured and manageable. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I was able to successfully secure my Social Security disability benefits. The entire process was handled with care, efficiency, and a level of professionalism that gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. I am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for me. If you’re struggling and need help navigating disability benefits, I highly recommend Greeman Toomey PLLC. They don’t just provide a service—they truly support you through one of life’s toughest moments.

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.

YOU WILL BE HAPPY THAT YOU DID!

I applied for SS disability twice and was denied both times. Then I was given a referral from one of James' previous clients, so I decided to call. Best decision I could have made. James and his staff were kind, professional, and understanding of my situation. I would NOT have won my case without hi...m. Trust the reviews... Go with James Greeman and... YOU WILL BE HAPPY THAT YOU DID!

HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! (even if it's a long fight! )

This man is not only understanding and patient, but very confident in his position and knows precisely what needs to be done! I went through a four year battle with the social security administration, two of which I went alone at it. When Mr. Greeman took on my case (fighting another TWO YEARS), he... stayed persistent. He helped me understand, and feel better about this ugly fight over what I knew I deserved!! He knew it too and never gave up on me! I often feel personaly bothered, and stupid at times I can't remember something. It's embarrassing for me. This man cares though, you can hear it in his firm and confident tone when discussing things. He never made me feel bad for not understanding or remembering, and actually talked things through with me. I am so happy that this horrible battle is over! You've changed my life Mr. Greeman, THANK YOU! Mr Greeman was referred to me by a friend who also won his case. NOW IM RECOMMENDING HIM TO YOU! HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!
