Posted by Geoffrey | July 03, 2015 | Social Security

SSI Benefit Dispute

It's always difficult fighting with the government, as both their patience and pockets are essentially bottomless, such that they can bury you in frivolous claims and wait until you have reached your limit. Such was our case, when we came to Pat George at our wit's end. He was able to quickly sort ...the trivial from the imperative, and - through his research - to find those pieces which would prove that we had satisfied all of the requirements set forth by Social Security. At the start of the hearing, although the judge agreed that many of the claims made by Social Security looked poorly laid out and supported, he stated that he did not anticipate being able to overturn the main elements of the case. However, after Pat was able to clearly present our side, and send on the requested corroborating briefs, the case was entirely dismissed in our favor. Throughout all of this, Pat was in constant communication with us - patiently explaining the elements that were most crucial to our case, and guiding us in gathering the necessary supporting documents for our defense.

Pat helped me with a custody issue, which are always difficult circumstances. Despite this, Pat did an EXCELLENT job which allowed us to prevail. I can't thank him enough for everything he did for me and my children. I would HIGHLY recommend him as he is not only very knowledgeable about the law, ...but also is honesty and trustworthy. He will expertly guide you through your legal issues and truly cares about the outcome of the case and how it impacts the people involved.
