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.

I can not attest to Kevin him self, but... His firm over all.

I had this firm for a couple years supposedly working on my SSDI Case, I did receive a little, though very little contact from them over all, the phone contact I had with receptionists and Legal Assistances was almost always.. Curt at best. Over the span of time I found that they seemed to be doin...g very little at all, my personal situation worsened, and I decided to pursue an different Law Firm, I requested that Schneider Kerr withdraw from my case (fired them), and that they supply me with my Withdraw without Fee documentation (as it is an SSDI case they clearly informed me that they do not collect till, and unless the Case is won). Well, they have yet to send me my Withdraw without Fee, I requested maybe four to six months ago, via multiple requests (e-mail, written, phone), the only thing they sent me was an copy of request for Fees, to the SSDI courts. Over all, I would have to say that at least with me, this Firm has been rude, dis-honest, lacking in action, and over all, not representative of what they state they will be like. In fact, my time with them has become an great hindrance on my SSDI case.

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.
