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.

Back in 2003 I was put on disability and was denied my benefits. Mr. Petersmith worked magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have recommended Mr. Petersmith to many of my friends that had been denied and he worked his magic for them too. I continue to recommend him to anyone that would need his help. ...He is very nice and his assistant is also super nice and helpful.

Years ago, Mr. Petersmith helped my father overcome the system and receive the disability benefits he was entitled to. My father suffered from several medical issues and was turned down by by SS. However, Mr. Petersmith persevered and my father was eventually approved for SS disability payments. ...This was in the age before internet so I am glad to be able to share this information now with everyone. Mr. Petersmith is a kind, caring, focused lawyer who will work for you.

Mr. Petersmith and his assistant Christina were very helpful, professional, and compassionate. I was kept informed of everything regarding the process, and obtaining my SSA Benefits. Mr. Petersmith's came highly recommended and I was extremely please. He and his assistant are my " Guarding Angels...", without them I feel I would still be fighting to obtain my benefits. Thank you and God Bless!!!!
