Highly recommend Mr. Sciolaro

I would highly recommend the Mr. Sciolaro at the BurnettDriskill law firm for anyone needing help working through the disability system and medical insurance. I worked with Mr. Kyle Sciolaro on my case for years. Anyone that is on disability knows that it’s a stressful, emotional process. Mr. Sciolar...o was so patient, kind and compassionate with me not only getting through my disability insurance quickly.... but also working with UNUM Insurance which took years to fight he stayed in the fight with me! Because I have clarity issues with my brain Mr. Sciolaro was extra patient with me. I could not have gotten through this stressful process without his patience and understanding with my specific condition. it’s an ugly process to get through the insurance companies and Disability are not fun for anybody to work with. I don’t have the right words to express how much I appreciate Mr. Sciolaro’s compassion he went above and beyond for me and never gave up. He walked step by step with me on days when I had difficulties understanding he helped me understand the forms I was not able to fill out myself. He took his time and patience to give me examples so that I understood it clearly such a wonderful kind compassionate man. I could not have asked for a better person to get me through this. So thankful for all of his help. As long as we worked together it felt I had a real friend on my side. Some people you find along the way you feel should not be in certain professions. Mr. Sciolaro is a blessing to the people that he works with in this difficult kind of work. I wish more people had his kind of compassion in this world. Thank you so much for everything! You are a shining star in my book.

A lawyer you can depend on.

Kyle Sciolaro is definitely a lawyer I would recommend to others. He kept me informed on my case and let me know what was happening throughout the whole case. He let me know that my case was winnable and he was right. I would hire him again without a doubt.

Does Outstanding Work

Kyle Sciolaro was fantastic in helping us get both an SSDI and a KPERS award. He seemed to care, and he answered all our questions, and he was very courteous and helpful throughout the entire nine month process. When I would email Kyle, I would get a response in no more than a couple hours, even when... it was after normal business hours. It just does not get any better than that. He never over-hyped anything either, and he was very honest about what you could expect. I would strongly recommend him and his firm for any disability concerns.

Fantastic

He helped me get long term disability from a company I was let go from partly because of my disability. I didn't think they would pay. He made it happen! It happened pretty quick too!
