Excellent work

I was referred to Burnett&Driskill from my RA doc. Due to various health issues, each interaction takes longer than normal. At no time, did I ever feel rushed or like Kyle was not listening. Normally, when I start discussing my issues, it becomes about them and their issues. He is always quick to re...spond and has continued the excellent service we received from Andrew. Highly recommend him for your disability company issues.

Amazing Work

I was referred to Burnett an Driskill by another Lawyer that I had previously used and I could not be more happy that I was referred to them. I have been dealing with a short term disability claim that had been denied after being approved since April and I felt at a complete loss, not knowing what to... do or if I even had a chance to get this problem fixed. I reached out to Burnett and Driskill and spoke with the attorney Kyle Sciolaro, he spoke with my for 45 minutes on the phone, advised what I should do and even made the point to email me and continued to stay in touch until the claim was finally approved today. We never had to pursue any legal actions though he really gave me a peace of mind and made me feel that I had support. The amount of care and knowledge he has is remarkable, he is one of a kind and I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal help. Kyle from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Kyle Sciolaro

I'd like to say that my attorney, Kyle Sciolaro, was very helpful with my case. He answered all my questions, helped me through the process, and explained everything so that I completely understood everything that was going on. He always got back to me in an extremely timely fashion. I never felt lik...e I was getting the run around, or being put off in any way. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Sciolaro to anyone that needs a Social Security lawyer.

Kyle Sciolaro/Social Security Attorney

Hello Everyone!!! Kyle Sciolaro Has Only Been Assigned To My Appeal Hearing Case For Less Than 3 Months, Because The Attorney That Was Handling My Case Retired! He Has Helped My Case Out 110% Since He Was Assigned To It! He Knew Nothing About Me 3 Months Ago, & Was Put In A Tough Situation Due To ...My Hearing Date Coming Up Quickly!!! He Explained Everything To Me In Very Broke Down Detail & Asked Specific Questions About My Health, Doctors That I've Seen, Prescriptions I Was Taking & One's That I Have Been On Since My Disability Started!!!! Note: I Started This Case 5 Years Ago & He Is The 3rd Attorney That Has Worked On My Case! Well, Like They Say 3 Is A Charm, & It Must Be Because With Approximately 3 Months On My Case, & Being The 3rd Attorney, He Has Managed To Compile More Up To Date Records & 5 Year Old Records That Were Never Available For My Case Before!!! He Has Spoke With Me On The Phone & In Person In Much Longer Conversations Than The Last 2 Attorneys Did In All Of The Last 5 Years! He Also Broke It Down In Laymen's Terms If I Didn't Understand Something! In Other Words He Resorted To Telling Me Things I Didn't Understand In Words That A Simple Man Like Me Understood! And He Also Gave Me His Personal Cell Phone # & Spoke With Me On Christmas Eve, From His Home, On His Cell Phone, While He Was Working On Getting Every Record, With Every Detail In Order, & Asking Me If There Was Any Little Details That I Could Remember, No Matter How Insignificant I Might Think They Were!!! Then He Told Me To Call Him Anytime If I Needed To Ask Him Something Or Thought Of Anything Else Pertaining To My Case! Then He Wishes Me A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Years! Since Then We Have Went To My Appeal Hearing Last Month And He Did An Awesome Job Of Presenting My Case, & For The First Time In 5 Years, I Truely Feel Like The Judge Actually Listened To And Read Every Detail Of My Case!!! And I Actually Felt Like She Was On My Side & Doing All She Could To Get Me Approved For My Disability Benefits!!! My Case Is Now In The Decision Making Process And I Feel VERY Confident That I Will Be Approved This Time!!! So Folks, I Can't Honestly Say That He Won My Case Yet, But I Can Say This Much: If You Want An Attorney That Will Handle Your Case As If It Were His Own Grandmother's Case, Then You Need To Call KYLE SCIOLARO, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! And If I Lose My Appeal We Are Taking It To The Next Step, Because I'm Not Giving Up, & Neither Is Kyle Until I Have Ran Out Of Every Legal Option Available!!! I Can't Imagine It Will Have To Go To The Next Level, But I Prepare For The Worse So I'm Not Disappointed! But No Matter What, Win, Lose, Or Draw, Mr. Sciolaro Has Shown Me That He Is More Than Just An Attorney, He Is An Individual That Truely Cares & Will Do Everything In His Power To Help You!!! And He Will Do It Even If It Means Giving Up A Part Of His Own Christmas Eve To Do It!!! No Matter What The End Result Of My Case Is, Kyle Sciolaro Will Always Have My Approval To Call Me Anytime, For Any Reason, & I Consider Him A Real Friend & A True Brother Of Mine!!! And I Pray That He Doesn't Get Any More Cases Dropped In His Lap At The Last Minute Before A Hearing Date!!! He Is Truely From A Rare Breed That You Don't Run Into Very Often In This Day & Age! I Hope He Reads This And It Makes Him Feel Like He Means More To Me Than Just My Attorney!!! God Bless You Kyle, & Peace Brother!!!!!

Great attorney!

Kyle Sciolaro has helped me out with several traffic tickets, as well as questions I had about disability, and some other general questions. He is very knowledgeable and always available. He responds to questions in a timely manner, and makes sure I understand everything I need to know. Would highl...y recommend him, and if he can't help, he would be able to point you in the right direction of someone who can.
