Excellent Work!!!!!!

When I sought consultation in a lawyer I wasn't sure if I had a case worth taking. When Mr. Barclay called me back and explained that I had a case worth persuing I felt relief. Mr. Barclay was very helpful every step of the way. He was very patient and thorough throughout the whole ordeal. He explain...ed to me the process we were gonna have to go through and assured me that everything was going to be okay. He always kept me informed on the progress of my case, I didn't have to ask. Mr. Barclay made me feel as if I had gained a friend, not just a lawyer. I appreciate everything he has done for me. I will always remember him and I thank him for all he has done.

I couldn't have done it without him!!

I was blessed to be assigned with Burke. Though I actually retired in January 2008 due to disabilities, I did not file for disability until December 2014 with Burke's assistance. I had missed my filing deadline (have to file for disability within five years from date of last employment to be eligible... for SSDI). I was not aware of the filing limitations and thought myself ineligible because I was married with ample income from spouse. By the time I hired Burke, I was battling not only for my disability, but also for my eligibility to access my SSDI since I missed the five-year window by a year. Burke Barclay was very empathetic to my situation from day one, since I was experiencing not only physical limitations, but also major depression and a strong feeling of hopelessness and desperation due to my inability to work and financially support myself, which became worse once I realized I had procrastinated filing within the deadline. Through the process of being denied the first time and being denied again on my written appeal, I was truly a basket case, but Burke was very calming, and he always listened to me and talked me through each and every step with quiet optimism. It took a year and a half from getting denied on my appeal until I was given a court hearing to plead my case in front of a judge, and I can honestly say the only reason I was able to get through the entire process was due to Burke's compassion and confident demeanor every step of the way! He did the majority of all of the legwork to obtain access to all of my medical records, set up appts for diagnosis testing and put all the information together in a very detailed summary, ensuring we had dotted every 'i' and crossed every 't' for accuracy before submitting my appeal. I can't begin to list how many times he talked me off the wall and calmed me down, assuring me each time that we were in this together for the long haul, and that he would continue to fight for my case for as long as it took and that we would not give up!! In the end, I not only won my disability, but I also won the right to access my SSDI that is paid into for more than 30 years of working full-time. The judge granted my disability immediately and filed that my actual date of disability was January 2008! An important note to anyone filing for disability: If you win your case, Social Security will only approve back pay to one year prior of filing date. Since I filed in December 2014, I received back pay from December 2013 till now. I was somewhat disappointed (for a minute) that SS wouldn't grant me back pay to the date of my actual disability, but their system is set up to prevent windfalls in cases such as mine. Overall, I am ecstatic to have won my case, and I contribute my success to my attorney, Burke Barclay, for not only his thoroughness and determination, but also for his compassion, understanding and support for those less fortunate. I never once had to push or lead him in any way, because he was my rock and gave me 100% of his support and guidance through the long, two-year process. Burke is an outstanding disability attorney, and I feel blessed that I found such an honest, sincere and compassionate attorney to handle my case! He definitely deserves a five-star rating for the work he did for me and I feel sure his other clients must feel the same way!!
