William Viner

Mr. Viner generally seemed caring, patient and on top of things during the 18 months or so that our appeal case was in progress. We had probably five phone calls and an in-person meeting with him prior to the appeal hearing. However, we were pretty devastated when he summarily dropped my partner's d...isability case following the unfavorable decision of the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), in spite of giving us the strong expectation he would take the case to the next appeal level when we interacted with him directly after the ALJ hearing at the court building and on the phone a few weeks later. No firm will likely take the case now, so we are on our own. Additionally, we were pretty disappointed that there were pretty significant typos in the brief his firm compiled for the hearing, including in the name of the medical condition that was the basis of the claim. We can only conclude that his firm has a lot in the pipeline, is a bit short-staffed, and decided that the case was not an economically viable prospect to pursue given surer cases they have to fight. Very disappointing, but still believe he is probably above average compared to the disability attorneys one has to choose from. Surely all the other stellar reviews can't be fake, right?
