Posted by Marci | November 08, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

The best attorney for my Disability case I could have gotten.

In 2014 I filed for SSD on my own and was turned down, I found Jami just by doing a search for Disability attorneys...She filed the appeal, we went to a hearing and she won my case for me. Whatever she asked me to do I did, and she kept in the loop always, answers all questions and pulls no punches ...you cannot go wrong with Ms. Goldman. She knows the system and how it works and that is what you need. I would recommend Jamie for any SS or SSD filings, issues or problems.

Phenomenal Attorney!

Jami is awesome! A true patriot, she fought for for me, as I am a 100% P&T disabled OEF and OIF veteran. Until I got her on my claim, I was going nowhere with SSDI. After a year-and-a-half of trying to do it with help from family, it was just denial, after denial. Once Jami took over this year, I got... a hearing in August and a favorable decision that day. This would not have been possible without the expertise and representation Jami provides to her clients. Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you're disabled and need help with SSDI, she's the best! Thank you very much Jami!

Searched for the Best, Found the Best!

When I was looking for a Lawyer to assist me with my Disability claim, I did a lot of searching for reviews and comments about Arizona SS Disability Lawyers. There was only one name on my list who I didn't even find one negative comment on: Jami Goldman. When I called her office I was treated with ...respect, dignity and compassion. She listened to my story and I sent her some medical evidence she could review to see if she thought she could assist me. A few days later she called and asked if I could meet her in Flagstaff, she was going to be there for a hearing. I live up near the Utah border so this worked out great! We met in a bookstore and when I first walked in I didn't see anyone who looked like a lawyer. I finally recognized her because of the papers, case and tablet she had out. She waved at me to come over. I was immediately impressed by her manner, unlike any lawyer I have ever worked with before. Very professional, get down to business but extremely personable. Immediately I felt like I was talking to a good friend. Her knowledge about Social Security Law was obvious right from the beginning. She indicated that she had reviewed what I had sent her and she believed she could help me. I was almost ecstatic when she told me that she would take my case. I must admit that I had one worry though, was she going to be tough enough to see this through. As if reading my mind she gave me this stern look and told me that if we had to go to a hearing I would see a completely different Jami Goldman. I knew she meant it. She told me about the steps in the process so I knew just what to expect along the way. When I left, I knew I had retained a great Lawyer but I also felt like I had made a new friend. Jami was always available to assist me in understanding the process, answering any questions I had or anything else about the case that I wondered about. On her end she kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I didn't miss any appointments. On top of that she was very professional and pleasant, every time we were in contact. I have known 5 people over the years who have hired Lawyers to assist them with Social Security Claims. None of them had Lawyers anything like Jamie. A couple of them told me they were not sure what side their Lawyer was on. Do want to hire the BEST Social Security Lawyer in the State, a Lawyer who will treat you as a person and not a file number, who listens and understands what you are going through and makes the whole process as pleasant as it can possibly be; then you want Jami Goldman on your side. Thank you Jami!

Jami is one of the best Lawyers I have had the pleasure of retaining!

I had to use Jami's services for a social security disabilaty case. I was very anxious and worried about my case. Jami was a top notch Lawyer who soon calmed my fears and set about to get to work on the case. She is a hard worker who is honest and very committed to her clients. She is very easy to re...ach and explains things in a easy way to understand. I would recomend her services to anyone as she is very committed to her clients and one of the hardest working lawyers out there.

As an ERISA attorney, I have dealt with Fendon Law on several matters, and I refer clients to them frequently. It's reassuring to see that, in addition to wonderful client service, Fendon Law has attorneys such as Ms. Goldman educating the legal community about Social Security benefits."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
