J Daniel Gregory

I’m taking a moment to submit a review about my wife’s excellent disability attorney, J. Daniel Gregory. Freda now has been granted 100% disability by the Social Security Administration after nearly 4 years effort. Why did it take 4 years? Because the first two lawyers we contacted didn’t have a... clue, frankly. The first one was fired for being cruel to Freda, and the second one dropped us like a hot rock when we drew an administrative law judge he didn’t like. Do you know what neither of them did? Gave us useful advice. An acquaintance referred us to Daniel, and as soon as we sat down with him, he let us know right away that he was going to show us how to gather the type of evidence we needed to provide to Social Security. Not made up evidence; we needed to get the correct tests done that would definitively show Freda’s disability. She had had a stroke and multiple seizures along with chronic pain issues associated with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. As it turns out, the definitive test for Freda was a psychiatric test that objectively measured how well her mind worked and showed that Freda had severe deficits in memory, among other things. We KNEW that, but we couldn’t PROVE that – until Daniel informed us of the correct test that would provide the solid EVIDENCE Freda needed to prove her case. With Daniel’s help, we didn’t even return to a hearing – the new case was handled administratively and granted in a relatively short time by SSA standards. Would we recommend Daniel? Absolutely. We were blown away by his knowledge of how the SSA works, his aggressiveness (as a former prosecuting attorney if my memory serves) and his clear direction. We wish we had found him at the beginning of our efforts but we lived in California then and hadn’t made the connections that would lead us to him. Forever grateful for his work, Lyle

I had another attorney prior to Mr. Gregory, but I never even met the attorney. All I could do was talk to my case manager. They lost my case twice, then I was waiting for a judge hearing when I decided I wanted someone who I could actually meet. I called Mr. Gregory's office, and had an appointme...nt within 2 days. He met with me and went over my case, went into great detail about my doctors, and he took over. His secretary Lupe got all my records, then he gort my case granted without a hearing!!! My only regret is not hiring him from the get-go.

Applying for Social Security Disability is a long drawn out process with lots of paperwork Doctor documents to navavate through. I wouldn't want to go through this without the right attorney. Mr. Gregory did a great job telling me what to expect, getting the correct paperwork ect. As well as prep...aring me for the trial as well as advice. His entire staff is professional and knowledgeable. Thank you again Mr. Gregory
