John Paul Gustad provided a complimentary and valuable how-to on navigating the Byzantine SSI process as well as state-funded options I had not considered. While my particular circumstances aren't likely to merit consideration by an Administrative Law Judge I know who I am going to call when it's ti...me to appeal.

Hired Gustad Law firm in 2016. Filed a claim for reduced pulmonary function due to burn pit exposure. The law firm won my case six years before the Pact Act became law in 2022. In 2018 filed a claim for an increased rating. Claim decision awarded in my favor. Gustad Law called me in 2019 after revie...wing almost 6,000 pages in my C file. Discussed an echocardiogram the VA performed in 2016. In the Findings: among the list was "mild pulmonary hypertension". Gustad Law was beneficial in filing this claim. VA denied the claim as "most likely due to non service connected COPD. Requested a Higher Level Review. Ultimately awarding a maximum rating. I highly recommend their Veteran services.

Like most, I was denied after my initial SSDI application that I completed on my own over 2 yrs ago. After that, I decided I needed an attorney to help me with an appeal. In researching attorneys who specialized in disability cases, I came across Mr. Gustad. After chatting with him about my case, I f...elt extremely comfortable and hired him on the spot! The wait has been long, but after over 2 years, I am very happy to say that I finally won my case because of my amazing attorney! The communication throughout the whole process was beyond my expectations and his staff was great as well! If you’re looking for an attorney who will work hard for you and get what you deserve, I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Gustad Law. I can’t thank them enough!

My husband and I are so grateful for Mr. Gustad and his firm's services. We had no idea how to navigate the SSDI Claim process and his team worked with us all along the way to make sure my husband obtained a favorable ruling. I highly recommend Gustad Law Group to anyone who needs help with this type... of benefits claim. They were courteous, professional and very knowledgeable about the entire process.
