Lousy, lazy, un-intelligent-moron(ape)

I handed Neil a clad iron disability case, documented surgeries in both legs, GAD, Spinal Vertebrae Damage(major) Osteoporosis of both knees, IBS-D to the point I couldn’t leave my house. I couldn’t sit in a chair for more than 30 mins at a time, and stand for 1 hour. This moron had 5 separate Dr. te...stimonies from 5 specialists……. And they failed in Federal Court, the easiest court to get a win….

Review For Neil Good-HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I had an unusual situation where my adjudication hearing date came a month after I applied for it. I had approx 2 weeks to prepare which left me scrambling for an attorney as I didn’t have an attorney. I called multiple attorneys who refused to help do to only having 2 weeks to prepare. That’s when ...I came across The Good Law Group who not only took my case but performed miracles being prepared and ready to go for my hearing in the 2 weeks they had. I also had a case that is normally very hard to win do to my age and once again Neil Good worked miracles and I am now receiving my disability benefits. I can’t thank The Good Law Group enough!!!

Review for Shawn

Went for initial visit and hired him to represent me. He was very knowledgeable and made the process so much easier and less stressful. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for this type of attorney.

The Good Law Group was fantastic to work with

I highly recommend The Good Law Group. Everyone at the firm is professional, caring, and courteous. They are fast filing your forms, they always respond to calls and emails, and know how to handle your questions and concerns. The Good Law Group could not have handled my difficult disability claim any... better. I'm happy to say they won my case! Thank you to everyone at The Good Law Group, you were fantastic to work with!

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.
