Highly recommend. Everyone Richard Alan Gutstadt law firm is professional, knowledgeable and kind.

Won extremely difficult case – Maximum SSA Award – Excellent Attorneys with years of experience!!!

Richard A. Gutstadt, P.C. and team were wonderful and extremely experienced! SSA’s letter letting me know I had to appeal by a certain date never made it to me. I found myself frantically calling around with only hours to my deadline. I spoke with a few attorney’s and they all said my case wou...ld be too difficult to win. Thank God I found this firm, Richard courageously took my case and was literally in contact with SSA that same day filing my request for an appeal. Richard and his team (Brenda and Eric) were compassionate and re-assuring through the entire process. He and his team did all the heavy lifting and WON my case without a hitch!!! The team’s preparedness and communication are impeccable. Prior to my hearing with the judge, I was presented with the points of discussion and a brief review of how things could potentially go. The day of the hearing, they were on point and had a good rapport with the judge. The response time has always been great, even after winning my case a few things came up and Richard has gladly taken the extra time and helped. I highly recommend Richard A. Gutstadt, P.C. and his firm.

Unparalleled representation

Richard and Eric have been absolutely phenomenal to work with on my disability case. I had a complex case and was struggling with my appeal when I came to them. They made themselves available to truly understand the intricacies of my case and also to make sure I was educated on the very complex intri...cacies of disability law and guidelines. The representation I received was absolutely best in class. I am so thankful I found them and that they took my case. Winning my appeal will literally mean the difference between being able to stay in my home or not. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with them as individual lawyers and a firm as a whole.

Amazing SSDI lawyer

I contacted Richard over 2 years ago after being denied my Disability benefits the first time. He and his partner, Eric, are extremely well-versed in SSDI law, processes & the court system. Additionally, they understand the human side of managing disability’s and really care about their clients welfa...re. They are compassionate but straight forward and honest with clients — a trait hard to find. Working with them at a distance during Covid lockdown was smooth & they were easily accessible anytime I needed them. We went through two rounds of filings with SSDI before I was approved in Dec 2021. And even after I was approved there is still wrap-up work and guidance they are providing. I could not have been successful without Richard & Eric’s legal representation & guidance! I am thankful every day.

Best Legal Representation I Have Ever Had!

Eric and Richard are literally the most fantastic lawyers - and people - I've ever had the privilege of meeting. They took my tough case and never looked back. My case has since resolved with the most amazing outcome above and beyond my imagination's best hope. But, best of all, Eric and Richard, alo...ng with everyone in their office, genuinely care about their clients as people. I can honestly say that hiring them will be one of the best decisions of your life. I know it was for me.
