Michael A. Petersmith

Stated he would represent me. Asked that I not appeal, wait and re-apply for disability. Asked that I forward medical and employment paperwork but would not meet me face to face. Stated no contract needed to be signed as he was giving his word and I didn't need to worry about that. Stated he need...ed me to pay a neurologist 2k to get disability work up and that this neurologist was going to diagnose me with "XYZ", nothing close to my actual physical diagnosis. Insisted that I must pay and see this provider and that I could not use a neurologist covered by my insurance. Totally unethical and misguided then dropped me when he realized I wasn't going to pay to see his buddy. Wasted 1 1/2 year of my time. I have since found a real honest to goodness attorney who is really trying to help me. Accepted the case on contingency and signed a proper agreement. The fight is difficult enough when you are sick and seeking legal help. Find someone who will not waste your time. The stress boiler room only gets worse as time goes on. My medical condition is much worse now because of this.
