Joseph Jonathan Duerst

Joseph did an amazing job with my disability claim! From first contact to that amazing day we received the letter stating our case was approved, he was honest, open, available, and informative. I never felt like I was in this alone. He always took time to answer my questions in a clear and non-confusing way and explained every step before and during the process. I highly recommend Joseph!!

He answered my add, it said Need Help With Social Security Disability Appeal this month. I fired Premier Disability for being denied my disability insurance three times. I was beaten and bruised with a broken back and no hope. I filed the appeal with my iPhone in the lobby of the SSAdministrations Needles, California Offices. The poster said Not Happy with SSA’s Decision? File an appeal now! So I did. Without an attorney. Four hundred days later, at the appeal by phone COVID Style, the judge told me to better her understanding and search for the truth I should get the help of an attorney. Too much at stake for me to pretend I was one. Joseph Duerst came in with a month to understand four years of medical reports, and dozens of doctors, and three surgeries to cram into the hour long appeal we had ahead of us. The appeal came and went. I was penniless, depressed, and angry, with an eight year old daughter I’m completely responsible for. I get a phone call from Joe he says the Judge made a Fully Favorable Decision. I said what’s that, he says, she went all the way back to the day you became disabled forever. April 1, 2017 four of the worst years of my life. I had worked 40 years for my record and I got every penny and then some. The Maximum according to social security guidelines. With predated Medicare and Medicaid to pay for all the medical bills I couldn’t pay for. When I said Joe you saved my family’s future and changed our lives he was humble and said the case won itself and the Judge found the truth. With Joe’s guidance. When I got the request for his fee. The amount was $ 3,200.00 dollars, his time spent working and winning my case. There are horror stories of Big shot attorneys taking tens of thousands of dollars after winning a case like mine. SSAdministration kept $18,000.00 to pay any lawyers claims. Honest with integrity and perseverance, I don’t know any lawyer other than Joseph Duerst that I would trust with my daughters life and her future. It took me six months to write this review because of the damage to my head and spine. Sorry Joe, you deserve a better client. Your the best. See ya.
