Great lawyer

I was referred to Richard by a family member. Richard was very professional and precise and showed interest in my case. I contacted him to help with social security disability . He was very knowledgeable and I did what he suggested and with in two to three months I was approved for disability. Thank...s Richard

So tenacious, exactly what you need!

Best lawyer I've worked with - Richard is very accessible via email and phone and was extremely diligent in hunting down the doctors and medical records I needed for my case. He knows the system and the courts for disability. Mine dragged on and on for years and he hung in there with me, making a pro...fession with a bad rap look excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to friends.

Awesome attorney.

Got SSDI on the first try! Mine was a difficult case, depression and PTSD. Richard is SMART and he cares. He's also experienced and knows how to navigate the system, the bureaucracy. I'm astonished that I got benefits on the first application.

SSDI Appeal

After being denied SSDI benefits, I searched the internet for an experienced attorney. I used the key words ”Best social security disability lawyers in Chicago” and one of the names that appeared was “Richard I Feingold”. I decided to give him a call and was immediately impressed with his knowledge a...nd caring manner. He filed an appeal for my social security disability benefits and within a few short months, I was approved. There are no words to express my appreciation. If you need help getting your SSDI benefits, do not hesitate to call Richard I Feingold and Associates.

Difficult time made easier with Richard

My wife can't work, due to her regional pain syndrome she can't do much of anything. It's a debilitating condition that started with a surgery to repair a damaged wrist and has since spread to both hands and both feet. I got Richards number from a friend of a friend and thank God I did. He helped us... through a very difficult time, waked us through the disability process and he was a strong advocate for my wife. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and it's all thanks to Richard who was very professional and understanding of what my wife was going through.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
