Find another attorney!

I spent less than 5 minutes in his office this morning and in that time, this attorney did everything in his power to agitate me with his arrogance by telling me without looking at ANY of my medical reports, or hearing anything about all my new disabilities since I was originally given SSDI in the fi...rst place!! He took a look at me and said in a stern voice and without even letting me explain my health issues, "I'm not going to take your case unless you have medical paperwork saying that you 100% disabled!!". I then handed him a pile of medical records, and said very upset, "Here are my records! You will see that I'm disabled!". Not liking that I was clearly upset by his abrupt egotistical interrogation, he then handed me back my records and told me to get out of his office! Unbelievable! After I got cancer and after I was originally approved for disability in the first place, I then broke my back 3 times, in 9 places over a 1 year period time. Radiation treatment for colon cancer weakened the structure of my bones and I now have osteoporosis and arthritis, I limp from that and I lost 3 inches in height. I also now have other physical disabilities from the cancer and other new medical problems that limit my ability to function daily, yet in 5 minutes, without letting me explain all my medical history or looking at the medical records, he decided NOT to take the case based on me sitting in a chair. He stated that the new administration is denying a lot more cases and it sounded like he was asking me questions to quickly get rid of me, rather than asking appropriate questions to take the case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
