Charles L Cottrell

Chuck has been with me since the start of my disability claim and was the first to call me when I was finally approved. He has been persistent and determined, and has followed through with me even when anxiety had me hiding under my bed and avoiding phone calls. He has never faltered in his support o...f me in a way that made me feel like I was not just a job, but a client who deserved his attention and respect. Applying for disability can feel overwhelming, confusing, and frightening - Chuck managed my case and me through every step. If you live in Napa County and are thinking about applying for disability, contact Cottrell Law immediately. You won't regret it.

Chuck is an excellent disability attorney and I’m glad I hired him to represent me. I learned of Chuck through two good friends who strongly recommended him because he won both of their cases. I found Chuck and his legal assistant, Carla, to be very knowledgeable and strategic in all matters related ...to disability law and policies and procedures, which is precisely the expertise and representation I needed. Chuck was professional and expeditious in handling my case, and he filed an appeal on my behalf with SSA and won my case within one month of hiring him. If the need arises, I will surely seek Chuck’s counsel again, and I highly recommend him to any prospective client.

Collecting disability insurance is something no one wants to have to collect. The thought of it all seems so complicated and dreadful but Mr. Cottrell and Carla put us at ease and took care of it all and so quickly. I still cannot believe we started our case and was done in 6 month. Thank you both... so much for always being there to answer all of our questions and literally walk us through every step. I'm so grateful for the day I picked up my phone to call your office.

Mr. Cottrell and his support staff were extremely responsive to our questions. Calls and emails were addressed same day. The firm has a set procedure for working through disability claims and the appeal process and they were able to anticipate what would happen next. While I filed the original cla...im on my own, I hired Mr. Cottrell to step in for the subsequent appeal and his firm took over the process from there. He did an excellent job of preparing me for the appeal hearing which went better than expected. Would highly recommend Mr. Cottrell and his firm to anyone filing a disability claim.
