William Rice Atty

Attorney William Rice did an exceptional job in representing me in getting Social Security disability benefits. A former Attorney put in very little work on my case and when I was denied of benefits, he told me to seek other representation. William Rice took time to thoroughly look over my case his...tory, medical records, etc. and determined that I was more than eligible for benefits. He took all the appropriate actions in getting my benefits awarded. He kept me informed through out the process. I am very appreciative of his professional tactics and hold him with the utmost respect he deserves.
