Anton G. Ficek

Tony and his team did an exceptionally good job working on my disability case, and guiding me through the difficulties of the Social Security system. The SSA had failed to obtain the proper documentation they had been directed to (they prefer to obtain it themselves), and I was not aware documents... were missing. I was not getting some of my notices from the SSA, and my point of contact at SSA was unreachable and refused to answer voice messages (sixteen separate occasions) - even when I was calling at their "urgent" written instruction. In one case one of my doctors had attempted to provide documentation numerous times, following instructions provided by SSA, all without success. None of the options provided by the SSA were working. Tony straightened it all out. He saw the documentation issues and helped to track down and submit everything we needed. He dealt with missing SSA notices and kept me current on the case. I especially appreciated the rehearsal runs he took time to do with me leading up to the hearing. I have severe PTSD and anxiety, along with brain damage and cognitive difficulties, and this helped me both to be more prepared and to manage my anxiety levels better. I thought Tony handled the hearing itself extremely well, especially important given my difficulties speaking under stress. I was granted my full disability benefits, and am deeply grateful to Tony and his team for all their help on my case. I highly recommend their services.

I have social anxiety and other mental health issues, which makes it difficult for me to interact with those in positions of authority, especially if they are men. When I had to seek a lawyer for my disability case, he was the first one to pop up. I was very wary about the whole ordeal because of my ...mental health issues, but I'm so glad we connected. I brought my mother with me to the first meeting and I could tell that he really listened to my story. He asked questions and made sure we both knew exactly what was going to happen. I could contact him easily through text, email, or his online portal, and with someone with social anxiety, one of the triggers is talking on the phone so I was happy that I could text. He was very easy to communicate with and I feel he represented me very well. He fought for me and we won!

Attorney Anton ( Tony )Ficek stood by me and for me when I couldn't stand alone. The tenacity to continue to fight on behalf of my case after two denials was exemplary. I thought it was over, but he didn't. Anton took his personal time to call after hours and see how I was doing mentally and physi...cally. I wasn't just a case, I was a person that mattered. Two years later we won. It's definitely not always easy, but with him at your side it's definitely not always rough. He listens, he cares, and he wins. That'll make you a winner too. Our win literally changed my life. It gives me access to a life I thought impossible (gives not gave). Anton, I wish you, the firm, current and future clients success. You deserve it and so much more. Thank you.

I initally started the process for SSDI on my own. Well, you know how the saying goes - a person who represents themselves, has a fool for a client. I did a few things wrong and was denied the first time (which is typical). I then found a representative through legal aid (with very little enthusiasm)... who filed an appeal for me. That was denied too, and a request for a hearing was filed. Because they had a heavy workload, people were randomly eliminated from the program, and I was one of them. I suddenly found myself without representation shortly before the hearing. As if this entire process wasn't stressful enough, I spent days in extreme anxiety, imagining worst case senarios. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Somehow I happened to find an ad for Ficek Law Firm and gave them a call. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Tony agreed to represent me just weeks before my hearing. His knowledge and confidence eased my worries and gave me a fresh outlook. He knew exactly how to present my case to the Judge in order to win. Tony is straightforward and gets right to the point. Don't mess around with anyone else, make Tony Ficek your very first step in this process!
