Best I could have asked for.

Invictus Legal Services were amazing. When we started this process, my wife was dying and I was incapable of actually getting the paperwork done due to my psychological disability. So he's assistant talk to me on the phone through the forms and filled them all out for me. When the government office d...ecided to transfer my case down to Texas, where it proceeded to sit in somebody's inbox for a year with nothing happening, George kept after them until it got sent back up here to Washington and things got done. When it came time for the court date, there was an efficient packet of information to go through to prep for the court day so that everything would be fresh to mind. Throughout the entire nearly 3-year process, communications were excellent. Very responsive either by phone or by email.

Excellent job

From the day I spoke with George and hired him, he and his secretary Ally worked with me and the social security administration and got me approved in 5 months. I highly reccomend them. He helped me in more than one way! Excellent service and very friendly!

Will fight for you for as long as it takes!

My family and I hired George Fields back in 2019 to help my father with his disability case. George was always understanding, patient, and communicative - always explained the processes and steps very well and kept us up-to-date on progress with the case. Unfortunately my father passed away in the sa...me year, but George stuck with my family and I through the disability case with SSA. Three years later we were finally able to win the case and close it. It gives great comfort to know that someone will stick with you until the end. I highly recommend George if you are looking for a disability lawyer.

Thank You George Fields

I was represented (succssesfully) by Mr. Fields in the 1990's. In 03/2022 I needed to have some issues addressed assosiated with my case. I contacted Mr. Fields by email and voice message. Mr. Fields contacted me the same day I messaged him. He was familiar with my past case, and resolved all my new ...concerns completly. He also told me not to hesitate to contact him again if new issues arise. After all these years, Mr. Fields treated me as a valued client. Thank you George.

Excellent SSDI representation!

I contacted George for help after my first application was denied. From the first interactions on the phone and our first meeting, I felt at ease that my case was in good hands. George helped me feel calm and confident about my case and the process. He was easy to get ahold of if I had questions or c...oncerns, and reached out periodically to check in or give updates. Excellent, clear, no stress communication! I felt very well prepared for my trial and very grateful to George for his help in securing a favorable decision.
