Michaels review

I was lucky to find Mr. White and hired him immediately after my initial meeting. He is very professional and worked quickly to help me get my social security benefits. His office was located in my neighborhood and not downtown somewhere, which helps. I will forever be grateful.

Outstanding And Best Disability Lawyer You Can Find

I want to take the time to thank Timothy and staff for their outstanding work on my case; Their attention to detail with follow ups and gathering information was great always gave me updates with letters and phone calls. Best disability attorney you can find. I would highly recommend the Law offi...ces of Timothy White and staff for your Social Security disability case.

So many positive reviews... These folks can't be wrong. Now I now why. Thank you Atty. White !!!

Atty. Timothy White was referred to me by my injury lawyer. He said Atty. White might be able to help me after my accident prevented me from returning to work and gaining other types of employment. We had a conversation in which Atty. White asked me some probing questions. It actually felt that he... was interogating me. Now I understand why. He merely wanted to know everything about me to understand my situation that he may represent me in the best possible way to the Social Security Administration. He wanted to make it right for me. His staff was very caring and helpful from begining to end. They kept me informed and prepared me every step of the way. I could always call them and they were very patient with all my questions and concern. Thank you so much and hoping that you'll be able to help more people like me, navigate the SSA process.

You need a lawyer. Mr. White is a good one.

I would highly recommend Mr. White. At first I tried on my own and then on reconsideration to no avail. I would say you definitely need a lawyer when you get to the hearing stage if not earlier. Where Mr. White helped the most was directing me on what kind of evidence social security most needs ...to see. He also advised a different onset date than I had in mind and explained why. He always had a timely response to phone calls and emails. On hearing day it was very confusing. Mr. White stepped in at several points since he knew what they were talking about and why from his experience. Trust me, if you dont have experience with these hearings you will get lost. If you are applying, I would call Mr. White. I likely would have been denied a third time without his help and advice.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I limit my practice to personal injury and Workers' Compensation matters but don't do Social Security. I have referred clients to Tim for over 10 years and the clients have universally thanked me for recommending Tim. I've never had anything but positive comments from the clients who had Tim handle their cases which is not something I can say about every attorney."
