Wasn't prepared for the hearing

Things seemed to be going well until it came close to the hearing. Mr. Giles failed to relay what the hearing entailed then was unprepared for the hearing and did not do anything to present my case. As a result none of my evidence was presented and I was unable to present it myself and was not given ...an opportunity to do so. It was extremely discouraging and I might as well not had an attorney. It was a humiliating experience and Mr. Giles thoroughly failed in representing me.

I suspect that this review is from the same person giving the previous poor review. I get it. It is upsetting to lose a case. I wish you the best in the future.

Terrible

I met with Wayne Giles and presented him with my thorough evidence and got a hearing. Social Security had factually incorrect info in my file yet Wayne Giles said I could not object to it. Wayne did not present my evidence during the hearing and basically did nothing, it was all procedural and the ju...dge never looked at the evidence presented due to Wayne's failure to represent my case properly. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere for an attorney because Wayne did absolutely nothing during the hearing.

I do understand that it is very frustrating to be turned down on a Social Security Disability case. You are correct that we cannot object to some things in a file such as an opinion, etc. You chose to stay anonymous. You are always welcome to call the office to talk about specifics. I do take time to talk before and after hearings to explain the process.

Greatest disability attorney ever!!!

From the beginning Wayne Giles believed in me. He was extremely helpful and nice. He absolutely knows what he’s doing. He knew exactly what needed to be done to win my case. I would highly highly recommend him to anyone looking for a disability attorney. He is amazing!!!

Awesome Attorney

Wayne and his law team was outstanding. They really cared, and made sure I felt comfortable, and understood everything that was going on. If you want help and are truly serious about needing disability, then you should hire Wayne. He is fair, honest, and a great attorney. Thank you, Wayne you have ma...de working with the I.R.S. easy.

Absolutely Recommend

Wayne has been kind, compassionate, and incredibly sharp - he knows exactly what needs to be done to navigate the Social Security Disability process. Our case was one that is often denied a few times because it's hard to prove, and Wayne has stayed with us all the way to the hearing, and then for an... additional appeal. I could not ask more from an attorney. We've always felt respected and listened to. Phone calls and emails are promptly returned. This has been a long, hard road. Because of Wayne, we made it out okay. I can not recommend him highly enough.
