The very best

I have only good things to say about Austin. I spent 3 years trying to get disability through another attorney and my case was declined. They never met with me in person or took time to read through my medical records to determine the best course of action. When I was referred to Austin right away I ...could tell that he was going to do everything in his power to help make sure my appeal went through.. He kept me updated through the entire process, read through all my records, called to ask questions and took time to get to know all the facts of my case. He is thorough and extremely intelligent and it is clear that he has extensive experience in this field. He really cared about me as a person and making sure that I was afforded the disability that I deserved. I would highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for a disability attorney.

Austin McGreal Review

As I tried to prepare for my disability hearing I found that acquiring the neccessary physician reports and the complex paperwork that is required to go before the judge was more than I could do on my own. I carefully chose Mr. McGreal from a group of attorneys I interviewed for my case. As I was goi...ng through the process I kept going back to Mr McGreal. After consulting with him several times I hired him to help me sift through the disability hearing process. It paid to do my homework and I was not disappointed with Mr McGreals services as my attorney. He worked extreemly hard at acquiring the many medical reports that were vital to my case. My medical history was extensive with many doctors and specialist reports that went back over a decade or so. He was meticulous in preparing my for my hearing and on my own I would have never gotten through the documentation that was essential to my case. He as well handled two appeals for me in order for me to go before a judge for a formal hearing. Mr McGreal worked for many months on my case snd he paid attention to every detail. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the work he put into my case. I would certainly give Mr McGreal a 5 star rating and also recommend him to others who are having difficulties getting through the process as I found myself having. The fee for his services was more than reasonable for the many hours he put into my case. He kept me informed of my case progress and I was not "left in the dark" at any time. Mr McGreal is a wonerful attorney and I am 100% satisfied I chose him to be my representative.

Excellent

Mr. Mcgreal was professional excellent in his communication with myself and the judge. He was very knowledgeable and detail-oriented. He was patient empathetic supportive and very assessable. I believe the big reason I won my case was due to Mr. Mcgreals details. The judge stated several times about ...supporting document that Mr. Mcgreal had given him prior to the hearing. The judge said he usually does not get that kind of detailed supporting documents from an attorney. He said our documents were crystal clear easy to follow. The judge also said he wished every attorney would provide detailed supporting documents because it makes the whole process goes quickly. Due to the pretrial work my attorney did and providing those documents my case was in and out in about 15 minutes. I would highly recommend Mr. Mcgreal he exceeded all expectations I had.
