Settlement

Darla Cunningham and her assistant Fernando were fantastic. Darla worked diligently on my case while Fernando was always sure to stay in contact with me to keep me updated on progress and schedule all necessary appointments. I am very appreciative.

Exceptional Attorney

Darla Cunningham was my attorney for my SSD claim. I will start with her secretary, Jazzlyn. From our first conversation to evaluate my claim, to the last call after the judge's decision, she has been kind, patient, encouraging, and professional. She set the tone for the entire experience. Next, I ...will say that Darla is a walking law and statute book. She knows SSD laws in her sleep, I believe. Her energy can be a little intimidating at first, but once i understood that she is just driven and loves what she does, I was good. From the initial consultation Darla and Jazzlyn made me feel confident and encouraged that even with all of the paperwork and waiting, she would be with me throughout the entire process. They were always prompt with answers to emails, phone calls, or text messages. This process was very intimidating, but I never wanted to give up thanks to them . She never gave me false hope or pretended that a positive outcome was absolute. They were clear and honest about the process. I received a favorable decision and I believe that their great work facilitated it. I one hundred percent recommend Darla as an attorney.

Just the BEST!!

I was fortunate enough to be able to fall upon Darla and her assistant Jazzlyn! I mean attorneys are not always the easiest to work with, but to have an attorney, and her assistant be over the top incredible, both professionally, and personally, to have empathy and compassion and understanding to ...want to help and to work hard enough to win. I feel it was divine intervention really because after being denied twice for my disability case, they ended up finally after 3 1/2 years gaining a favorable decision, by the administrative law, judge!! No Social Security disability administration, policies, and procedures desperately needs to be restructured sooner than yesterday! the time it takes to approve or disapprove a case is unethical or somebody who is suffering that’s ill!! it actually made my health worse from the stress of wondering how it would stay afloat with just a house payment and utilities ! That actually made my health suffer worse and destroyed my credit.! people are truly suffering with a disability are dying and losing their homes being forced to file bankruptcy while SS pushes paper around ! and I did most of it work for them! I almost lost my home! if not for Darlas expertise and her knowledge and experience with Social Security, administration, their practices, and guidelines, I would not still be in my home! So DO do not wait! They are waiting to help! Your own foot work as you can to expedite your case, they are Such a wonderful team they will fight for you. They will be your friend in time of need, I felt like I built a friendship of trust and understanding. And contact your local congressman‘s office to be an advocate to pressure SSDI county of riverside is probably different than Corona, but Corona is Congressman Ken Calvert, Their office will send letters with inquiries to SSDI about your case on your behalf, until it’s closed.! I was able to provide all my doctors information and reports historically. I inundated them from all of my doctors history and medical records going back 20 years, (which is not required but I did it anyway) because that’s how long I’ve suffered with a plethora of issues and pain. And, if not for these women, I would’ve lost my mind waiting on my Social Security administrative hearing. Our government needs to spend effort to restructure that program and get people the help They need more efficiently, instead of making their health worse by increasing the deadliest disease of all -STRESS!! with no funds to pay their bills, or hold onto their home, or their health, all while they wait for approval my advice is don’t wait! to get an attorney.!! Without Darla and Jazzlyn. I’m sure that I would’ve been denied again. It took 3 1/2 years of my life and my health, my credit, my entire savings! had these ladies not been there my last year, with their loving support and kindness I would’ve thrown in the towel… This actually restored faith in my thoughts about attorneys! If you truly have a disability case, don’t wait! You’ll never win without an attorney!! Call Darla Cunningham, and Jazzlyn Reid and have your case reviewed asap! her knowledge and expertise of the guidelines of the areas that you need to fall under to be fully disabled, are twisted and complicated and you’ll never understand it alone!! they can help you win and they will work tirelessly to do it! Ox love you ladies to bits❣️
