This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazing and knowledgeable

Paul is an amazing lawyer and an even better man. He has provided me with advice through a difficult process with ERISA, my employer and disability. Men like him help to restore my faith in humanity. I am a disabled veteran who is battered and broken his advice has been instrumental during this proce...ss. Thank you Paul!!!!

Excellent and Efficient

Go see them if you need assistance on VA or SS disability or have been denied benefits!!! The law office of Paul Drombeck are what a lawyers office should be about, get to the point and be effective! I met with Paul and Tatiana at no charge for a consultation on getting SS and VA disability establi...shed. Paul and Tatianna were most helpful, reviewed my medical records, and gave me detailed and specific advice on how to best provide documentation, get the forms filled correctly, and how to handle SS interviews. Based on the consultation, I was prepared for the process and got awarded SS disability with no problems. I'm now working on the VA disability, and Paul and Tatiana are provided assistance and guidance on that as well. 5 stars is not enough!

no reply

As of lately no reply seems to be the standard for this office. Add another one to the list and for anyone thinking of contacting this office for a consultation in the future; don't give too much information up front as they seem to make up their mind on that solely for correspondence or lack of.

My Way Or The Highway

I recently contacted this attorney for a consultation. I was researching attorneys as I needed to obtain counsel with ERISA experience. I filed a disability claim thru my employer for psychiatric reasons. I consulted with many attorneys who all said the same thing. They only take mental disability... cases whereas there is also a physical disability. I didn't have a physical disability at the time but now appear to be having a lot of trouble with Spinal Stenosis. What gets me is this attorney reviewed my potential claim and rejected to provide counsel as he said my doctors records were all over the place which simply isn't true. I've been seeing my primary care for my entire life and I'm almost 30. All of my phsycians are very professional and have a great deal of integrity. Then a week after his office reviews my claim and deny representation they have the nerve to send me a letter saying "They recently spoke to me regarding a potential claim saying they didn't have a chance to review it even though I was corresponding with this attorney directly via email. They attached the letter which I sent them from the insurance company stating that I intended to appeal my decision and to contact their office if I needed anything from them." This is outright tacky and now that I do have a physical disability on top of my mental disability I sure as hell wouldn't want a firm that can't clearly even keep their consultations organized to represent me on a matter this important.

No Return Response

Due to problems at my end which would make a phone call difficult, I sent an email to the attorney briefly describing my situation, what I was looking for and insights on if this was something that could be handled by his office. I also asked for a return response to the email. I received no respon...se whatsoever and not even a sorry we can't help from the attorney or anyone in the office. This is not appropriate from a professional standpoint and so now I start over trying to obtain a response from another attorney.
