Definitely recommend

I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with The Good Law Group. Attorneys Neil and Shawn Good, along with their dedicated team, were instrumental in helping me secure a favorable outcome for my Social Security Disability case. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism, dedicati...on, and genuine care. Shawn Good, my attorney, was outstanding throughout the entire process. He demonstrated a relentless commitment to my case, ensuring that I received the outcome I deserved. His expertise and strategic approach were evident as he meticulously prepared me for my hearing. Shawn's ability to explain complex legal matters with patience and clarity made me feel confident and at ease during a highly stressful period. Equally impressive was the support from Shawn’s paralegal, Kathryn. She was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated regularly and promptly addressing any concerns or questions I had. Kathryn's empathetic nature and thorough communication provided me with much-needed peace of mind. During moments of anxiety, her reassurance and willingness to listen made all the difference. She exemplifies the exceptional client care that The Good Law Group is known for. The entire team at The Good Law Group, including other staff members, exhibited kindness and professionalism at every turn. They navigated me through the often overwhelming disability application process with remarkable ease. Their coordinated efforts ensured that no detail was overlooked, and I always felt supported and understood. I wholeheartedly recommend The Good Law Group to anyone seeking a dedicated disability attorney. Their unwavering commitment to their clients is unparalleled. Shawn Good’s knowledge, care, and promptness, combined with Kathryn’s compassionate assistance, resulted in a successful resolution of my case. Even after securing a victory, Shawn’s assurance of continued support if needed in the future speaks volumes about their dedication to their clients’ long-term well-being. In summary, if you need an attorney who will fight tenaciously for you and provide unwavering support, The Good Law Group is the firm to trust. They genuinely care about their clients and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible results. I am deeply grateful for their assistance and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Shawn Good of The Good Law Group is an Excellent Lawyer

Attorney Shawn Good helped me get Disability Benefits for my Chronic Migraine disability. Getting disability benefits for migraines are extremely difficult. He is very knowledgeable and helped me every step of the way. I would recommend him to others.

Social Security Benefits Success

I had contacted Shawn's firm regarding intractable and debilitating migraine pain that prevented me from pursuing my education or any employment. Shawn laid out very clearly the likely progress of the case, from the initial denial of benefits to the appeal and the likelihood of success. Shawn worke...d to assemble a sufficient record and thoroughly prepared me for the appeal with the Administrative Law Judge. Because of this preparation, my appeal was successful and I received a fully favorable award. My sincerest thanks to Shawn and Shawn's firm for their hard work and attentiveness throughout the long and grueling process. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking help in navigating Social Security.
