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.

Knowledgeable, Compassionate, Responsive

John Kuhnlein came strongly recommended to me and without hesitation I will recommend him to anyone who needs SSD support and representation. He is knowledgeable, compassionate and responds within minutes of any questions or concerns. He stays current with the ever changing landscape of SSD and in th...e areas of medical conditions and how they impact a persons every day life. I am confident that I am in extremely capable and trustworthy hands.

Attentive And Responsive

John came to us highly recommended. We came to him after the first denial and he helped my wife achieve a favorable decision with full back pay through the second appeal and hearing process. He clearly knew his business and was attentive to all of our concerns. John was always very responsive when we... had questions and he was open and honest with us. It was obvious that he was liked and respected court officers and the judge at the hearing. Although he took it all seriously, his quirky sense of humor helped to lighten a lengthy and difficult situation. We highly recommend him.

Great Attorney

I went to John for a consult after having two individuals refer me to him. He was very prompt in helping me file an appeal for my claim, and always responds right away when I contact him. He keeps me updated on my claim, and let's me know about any new developments. I highly recommend him.

Encouraged me and Walked me through it

You never can be sure when you hire an attorney if you are getting someone who is looking to make money, (fine) someone interest in helping (even better) of both (best case) I had a hard time getting disability because I had lots of work history in very responsible positions, and a college education.... Mr. Kunlien didn't make me any promises, but he kept me informed, he answered all my calls, he appealed the judges decision based on issues that I hadnt even thought about. And I was a paralegal in the past, who so happened to study Administrative Law, with a focus on social security Admin. There were many times I wanted to give up. I was working so hard to hang on to my home that had been in foreclosure, which was extremely stressful. I finally took Johns advice and let him handle my case, while I handled keeping my home. After being denied by a judge after appeals it gets very scary. Again, while making no promises, John Kunlien took care of me in his quiet manner. He also helped three other people I know successfully, who also had a hard time dealing with the SSA system. Kudos and blessings to John. I really believe that any other lawyer would have shuffled papers and told me oh well, but John worked for me, and got me my relief. I cannot thank him enough. and I would and DO recommend him to anyone who is in a legitimate disability case. I cannot thank him enough. He changed my life. Thank you, John.
