I'm an attorney myself, so when it came to choosing an attorney to assist me with applying for disability retirement through the Federal Employees' Retirement System, I tried to do my homework and thoroughly research attorneys and law firms. I spoke with several, and ultimately felt the most comfort...able and confident with Mr. Wersing and his team, including Bethany Sissons, a paralegal. They did not disappoint! From thoroughly explaining the process to me, to giving me clear directives on what I needed to do to help prepare my claim paperwork (it's the government - there's tons of paperwork to gather and complete), to answering my questions, to keeping me informed about where things stood in the process, Mr. Wersing and his team did a great job, and my application was approved on the first try. I credit that in large part to the aforementioned paralegal, Bethany Sissons, staying on top of the development of my paperwork and making sure I had a complete and correct application. For anyone considering hiring someone to help you with the FERS disability process, the reality is that nobody can do the whole thing for you. There is a lot of back and forth with your agency and a lot of documentation that you, as the employee, have to help gather (even if you're just filling out medical record release forms to send records to the firm, rather than getting your own medical records and forwarding them yourself (which is faster)). But Mr. Wersing and Ms. Sissons broke down the tasks I needed to complete to help them help me into a clear, actionable plan, which, again made the process smooth and, most importantly, successful. Finally, I found the cost structure extremely fair and reasonable, given the value received.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and was in a disposition due to my health to submit a disability retirement . Aaron and all of this first have been extraordinary. Bethany Sissons specifically held my hand the entire way through . From assisting with all paperwork and even going the extra mile... to ensure my employer was timely with all request . The customer service and compassion for my case and condition is what I liked the most. I highly recommend if you are searching for law firm for retirment or federal government cases to use this law firm . Not only did I successfully get approved my FERS retirement but I have the privilege to be represented by this firm in an additional case . Thank you again for your outstanding services.

If you are applying for a federal disability retirement hire a lawyer from the start, preferably this lawyer. The OPM process seems cut and dry but there are things you need to know before you submit your package. My son had to apply for a reconsideration because he was not aware of those things. We...rsing provided a free consultation and it was apparent from the start he knew the OPM process and ATC disability in particular. He knew from the onset why the application was denied and what was need for it to get approved., specifically statements from the attending physicians that addressed the mandatory prerequisites for approval. I asked about the chance for approval and he said he wouldn’t take the case if he didn’t think it would be approved. So we hired him. There are time lines you have to be aware of also. We needed an extension and the letter from OPM stated the request had to be submitted in 30 days but it didn’t say 30 days from date of letter or that it had to be received (not post marked) within 30-days. As anticipated my son’s retirement was approved. Wersing did post-approval follow up to ensure we new the next steps in the OPM process.

After being removed from the Postal Service after 30 + years, I reached out to numerous law firms specializing in Federal Employment Law. Aaron Wersing personally replied to my inquiry expediently and scheduled a free consultation. I found Aaron to be exceedingly knowledgeable, very personable and ge...nuinely empathetic to my situation. After agreeing to retain The Federal Employment Law Firm of Aaron Wersing for an extremely reasonable fee, Aaron and his incredible team took over. He and his team created a plan and course of action all the while exhibiting compassion for my cause and communicating with me throughout the judication of my case. Because of Aaron Wersing and his firm I attained a FERS DISABILITY RETIREMENT! God bless Aaron Wersing and his incredible law firm!

Aaron is honest. very knowledgeable and will tell you the truth, he is a professional and the entire team are professionals. Obviously, the outcome is not controlled and we are at the hands of other people making decisions. that being said, the team put together an outstanding case and delivered the... results for me to be approved disability retirement.
