Cheryl F Coon

When I first came to Cheryl for a consult about whether I was disabled, she was honest and direct with me about the issues in my case. She gave me a lot of good advice. I came back to her for my second application after a very bad experience with folks who told me what I wanted to hear - that I h...ad a winnable case. I lost that one but with Cheryl, I won. I wouldn't hire anyone else.

I never write reviews, but due to the incredible job Cheryl did for me, I wanted to write this. Cheryl was with me from the start with my SSDI claim. She helped me navigate the daunting process of filing my claim, appealing two denials and representing me in court. After two and a half years of worki...ng effortlessly, I won my case. Cheryl is incredibly supportive, patient and reliable. She was quick to respond to my questions and concerns and treated me with dignity and respect. I could also see that she is well respected within the law community. Cheryl is an outstanding attorney. I must add that Cheryl has a rare quality that stood out to me immediately upon first meeting her. She has a sincere and deep compassion for her clients. Even if I had not won my case, my opinion of Cheryl wouldn't have changed. I couldn't have chosen a better attorney to represent me.

Ms. Coon and her staff stayed strong and followed-up on my case from start to finish. This was a complicated matter, with many life-long,threatening and permanent injuries. Ms. Coon and her staff (Erin Daniels) informed me of what I had rights to, what I needed to do to qualify, and made me feel s...o much better that this was to right route to take for all I had been through medically -- both military and civilian injuries/damages. Ms. Coon and her staff explained in detail what would be allowed by the Social Security rules. I can only thank them for all of the hard work, dedication, and hours put into my case, for myself and my family. As to the monetary aspect,, this firm was professional, explaining in detail the Retainer Agreement, fees, and out-of-pocket costs. I would not hesitate retain (if need be) or refer anyone to this firm. My thanks to Ms. Coon and her staff from my family and I.

By the end of the initial phone conversation I had with Cheryl Coon regarding the specifics of my SSD case, I knew she would be a superb advocate for me and would do everything in her power to obtain a positive--and expeditious--outcome in my SSD case. I could tell she was not only highly knowledgeab...le regarding all aspects of "Social Security World" and its complexities, but she already had formulated a comprehensive, well thought out 'game plan' for how she intended to proceed based on the specifics of my case, including my DLI, time of onset of symptoms and abnormal labs, nature and date of official diagnosis, anticipated life expectancy, and so forth. From the day that Cheryl agreed to take on my case and represent me until the day a decision was made regarding the claim, I was confident that I had the best representation possible. Cheryl demonstrated high ethical standards and the level of dedication and commitment she brought to my case was remarkable and could not have been exceeded. Cheryl's perseverance, coupled with her wealth of expertise and ability to present key issues and evidence to SSA in a clear, persuasive, and cogent manner, resulted in a favorable decision, for which I am very grateful. In addition to everything she did for me on a professional level, and for keeping me apprised of the status of my case and quickly responding to any questions I had throughout the process, Cheryl always related to me in a caring, compassionate, and respectful manner, which powerfully conveyed to me that she fully grasped and was sensitive to the human, personal dimension of my situation as well as the legal aspects of the case itself. Cheryl was not only adept at determining how best to approach my case strategically from a legal vantage point, but she never lost sight of the fact that I was an individual who was living with a challenging diagnosis, which also meant a great deal to me. In summary, Cheryl Coon is a consummate professional who goes above and beyond in pursuing cases she believes have merit and I recommend her wholeheartedly. She's deserving of a six-star rating on a five-star scale!
