Killed my wife Tammy McMillan

My wife was disabled she had memory loss from a head injury and was not physically able to even walk most of the time for two years we went through this social security system they sent us to a couple of doctors one spent about 30 minutes with her and told her that this is what this building Social S...ecurity Disability is for people like you and and then of course you have to go to another doctor we went in there he spent less than a minute with her and sent in and told them she didn't need disability I don't know how he could figure that out in a minute but I think they come up with I think Social Security comes up with these doctors that don't that are not supposed to put people up for disability I don't understand for all her medical records showed her disability we did this for 2 years and then we went to coats and Todd and they said they will get help us out so we had to do the forms all over again and send them in there they said they were going to pull all her medical records and we waited and waited and we'd call so what's going on they said well we're waiting for him to sign her her case too somebody I don't know if it's with the Social Security that was their answer every time I we called same answer we're waiting we're waiting we're waiting well you know they waited four years and she finally died you finally died so so guys there's our social security system that's supposed to take care of our people that need to be taken care of coats and Todd they just kept getting on the back burners they didn't care they didn't have they they wouldn't put in the work that it took to get it done and then they then she finally died if we could have got her on disability we could have got her on Medicare and got her good medical attention to help her out but they didn't do it 4 years 4 years you can't get something done in 4 years I get angry just thinking about it do not use coats and Todd they're very they don't care about you they don't care about you Social Security don't care about you

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
