Best Social Security Lawyer

I thank God my mom found Benjamin Decker. I had an attorney prior to Mr. Decker and the difference is immense. I would not go with anyone else. He took over my case and kept me informed and i felt relieved like i could finally rest because he was taking care of my case. He got to know me and my case ...and was there for me every step of the way. He reassured me he would fight for me till the end and that he did. It was a long fight but the end result was entirely worth it. He’s professional, kind, smart, and very informative. I was approved finally after a long fight and the level of relief i feel is incredible. I could not have done it without Mr. Decker. You will not regret choosing Benjamin Decker and staff to fight for you.

I hired Mr Ben Decker for assistance with my previously denied SSDI case. I don't believe this would have ever been approved without Mr Decker's assistance. He was very professional, knowledgeable and confident. He did represent me for the SSDI hearing, as well, and the decision was favorable. I wou...ld strongly recommend Mr Decker.

Competent Lawyer

I was looking for a disability lawyer and had called several lawyers to see if they would take my case. Mr. Decker was the only lawyer who called me back, he kept in contact with me and followed up with any questions I had during the time it took for my appeal to reach a court date. His office staff ...was professional and gave me direction from Ben on what I needed to do for my case. He supported me during the trial and helped me to remember facts that I had forgotten due to my disability. We won the case and I was pleased with the results.

Disability team extraordinaire

I have met with Ben and his very competent staff many times. They gave every needed detail their focused attention, and 7 months later my disability case is settled! My disability income happened quickly and it saved me from financial ruin! You have an incredible staff Ben, and I am grateful to all o...f you!!! And you know who you are. Many thanks, Brett

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
