Client

Mr. Coring was my representative during disability court. He called me to introduce himself in advance for information about my case. And how I felt about things concerning it. He arrived before the hearing and discussed what to expect during the session. The hearing went according to his explan...ation. He was professional and courteous. Thorough. And concerned for my needs and pain during the session. Thank you.

Sam Coring is on your side!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Coring before my second Disability hearing after my case was reviewed by the Appeals Council. After a brief but equally informative meeting before the hearing, Mr. Coring not just explained what the hearing would consist of, but LISTENED — so well — to both me and my... husband, so that we would both know what was going on while my husband waited for me in the waiting room. Sam Coring was extremely helpful, an amazing listener, and I truly believe had my best interest at heart, which is why I believe he is successful at his job and truly believes his clients are suffering and in need of help. He was very friendly and personable to everyone, but I truly feel like he was there to help me. In fact, he did! We won the case! I know that my records and the Appeals Council's decision helped get me there, but I honestly don't think that I would have won without him and all the details he listened to on top of his pages of notes from my case. The phone conversation we had beforehand told me everything I needed to know and do in one call, and while I could contact with questions, they had already been answered! For my second hearing I was much less nervous as I had not felt that comfortable with previous council, but my husband and I both were much more confident after meeting Mr. Coring. He was highly recommended as well, so I am very lucky to have gotten him for my case! I know that he is not just in this for a payday, though I'm sure that doesn't hurt, but I truly feel like he is there to help people like me to better understand the process and to get those benefits for his deserving clients, and ultimately improve their quality of life! Needless to say, I cannot even express how highly I recommended Mr. Sam Coring. He's extremely good at his job, amazingly helpful, friendly and comforting to more than just his clients, an awesome listener and teacher, powerfully informative, and is incredibly knowledgeable. You just can't top that! Win or lose, you'll be glad to have him on your side, and I know he will do everything in his power to help you too if you need it! Thank you so very much, Mr. Coring, for helping me get through this process, and helping me not only feel like I deserved the help, but that I was in such good hands with your council! I can safely say that I would definitely not be smiling this much, but instead be ridden with anxiety, as I wait for the official decision letter to come in the mail if I had not had Sam Coring on my side!! I can't thank you enough!

"Sam has been representing Social Security claimants for a very long time. He is one of the best attorneys I know educating clients of the complexities of the disability process in easy to understand terms. Sam is not afraid to stand up to judges that like to bully claimants or pin them into a corner with unfair questions."

"Having known and worked with Sam for the past two decades, I have had the unique experience of witnessing Sam’s skills. Not only is he accomplished at what he does, his passion for his clients can be seen by all. He does everything he can to help them, both as their attorney and as a person just wanting to help. Sam is one of the few disability attorneys who is willing, and able, to appeal cases to Federal Court. Sam is very articulate at all levels of representation. His integrity and knowledge are evident to anyone who has had the pleasure of working with him. It is my privilege to work with Sam and I know first hand that many of his clients would say the same."
