SSDI Mill Best avoided

I hired this firm as soon as I got out of the hospital, they botched my original application by not knowing I had an appointment with SSA doctors to determine my eligibility, in what would have been an easy win. I fired them as they did zero work on my appeal which I did the work on all by myself an...d won.

Good work poor ethics

I hired them years ago and won my ssdi case they charged the max amount for the help $6,000 and I was fine with that. Ssdi reviewed my case and denied me years later and SK&R said they would help but since I already was their client and paid max fees it was as a courtesy. They said signing a new cont...ingency agreement was just standard but I wouldn't be charged. They did great helped me win again but two years later when I called them asking if they did veteran disability they started asking for their fee. I explained what I was told and they say the guy that helped me no longer works there so I need to pay. Then they call me saying they will contact ssdi for the fee but will work with me to get it waived so I pay nothing. Well now months later no contact and I'm getting notice from ssdi they are deducting my benefits. They do decent work but ethics are very questionable over 710.00 fee after I already paid 6000.

Worst attorney ever! Run away!

The only reason I gave him 1 star is because there wasnt a choice for zero stars dont go to that whole firm period. They wont keep in touch, get to know you or your issues, wont listen to you and things you fel should be talked about at the hearing. He will sit there and not say a dm thing while ...you lose. They (he) turns your records in to late so the judge doesnt have to admit them, dont use these people they are ignorant haughty and lame. The judge wrote in my last denial that I had degenerative disk disease, thats how dumb this guy is, I have a TBI not DDD. They also tossed my case around the firm to 5 people mr. kerr was the 6th, unbeknownst to me until after the fact. The only cases he wins are the ones that win theirself.

Terrible

Wasted two years in the process. Never kept in touch as to progress, waited four days before Federal appeals papers needed to be filed and then dropped my case. Mr. Kerr was downright rude.

progress

Kevin helped me get my settlement for ssdi. I was awarded all my back pay for a period between 2009-2012. And know that I can't work any longer is getting me ssdi permanently. I would recommend them to anyone needing help.
