TRIPPLE A

This law office is extremely efficient. The entire office staff was organized and always kept me updated with my case. We had a telephone conference with disability judge and i was amazed how much time and effort that was put into my case to have a answer for every question, not only a answer but the... right answer. highly recommended

Fierce and to the POINT

Melanie was awesome representing my case. At first, it seems that she may be a bit intimidating asking you question after question. It may seem like she is interrogating you but actually she is on YOUR side. It's her way for you to realize how Social Security and the Judge looks at an individuals ...case and what evidence is needed to be successful. I felt that way in the beginning but shortly realized there is a method to the madness. Listen to what she tells you and follow through with what she ask from you. You will be glad you did! WE WON! I couldn't have done it without her and her helpful staff!

DON'T DO IT! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

Find a real disability attorney! Strung me along for 2 years and I was denied. She did not turn paperwork in on time. Rude and obnoxious! Said she would really be surprised if I was denied. I was do to her errors. Obnoxious, unfriendly staff! I'd give her a 0 if the site allowed.

Unprofessionalism

In the beginning Melanie was very polite and helpful. Then the further along with my case she would use very vulgar language. At our last meeting she lashed out at me verbally telling me that if i could have a boyfriend or get on a social media site, then I was NOT disabled. She proceeded to talk to ...me like I was nothing, cussing and being rude. I was in tears and very upset and she knew I had issues with mental illnesses. I got tired of being talked to like that and took up for myself. She mailed me a letter a week later, resigning from my case. I was going to get rid of her anyway. Very unprofessional way to handle things.

Honest!

Mrs Melanie was straight forward and very honest with me from the start. She worked very hard for me and my family. I would recommend her to anyone.
