Social Security & Disability 100%

I represent those persons seeking Social Security disability for physical problems such as bad backs and necks, neurological conditions, chronic disorders of the lungs, heart, kidneys, or liver. I generally work with people over the age of 50. At present, I am not taking children's cases nor any cases that are solely mental in nature (depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.) I serve all the people of Tucson and Southeastern Arizona. I graduated from the University of Arizona Law School.

Denied

Mr. Kunlein did absolutely no research regarding my claims. He requested my medical records one month before my hearing and went back only ONE year. I have epilepsy, as well as interstitial cystitis, which is a chronic, extremely painful bladder condition. Kunlein never asked me one question regardi...ng my health. I think he said 3 words during my hearing. That was "this is her " after the judge asked where is the claimant. The judge was being "funny 'by making a reference to my looks. I "looked too young to be 60 years old. I was thrown under the bus by attorney and the judge. I should have had better direction by attorney. I would have won if I had better representation.

I am sorry that this client lost her case. I did everything I could to help her. Unfortunately, sometimes even good claims get denied. I did appeal the unfavorable decision, but the client departed before I heard the result of the appeal. I take her criticisms seriously and will try to learn from them. /S/ John Kuhnlein 11/11/2015

John Kuhnlein excellent SSI lawyer

After years of dealing with SSI, John was very knowledgeable and extremely informative in dealing with my case. My case was won the first time we went to court on a reconsideration. John was very professional and did all the interviews and paper work himself no going thru secretary's or agents. I ...was very pleased with his work and have recommended to others including my Sister.

Kuhnlein Gets It DONE!!

John is personable, fast, does what he says and had my Social Security Permanent Disability claim decided in my favor with minimum fuss and good communication, either directly or through his staff. I enjoyed his respectful and witty personality, making the entire process a win=win situation. John ...is the antithesis of the kind of attorney that has inspired all the bad jokes deserved by disreputable attorneys. I now consider John a friend and would do business with him again without a second's pause!

Mr. Kuhnlein won my son's case

My son is 30 and tried twice to get SSI but was turned down both times, so we went to Mr. Kuhnlein and my son won his case. Mr Kuhnlein was very great helping us understand everything. Definitely very pleased with his services.
