I highly recommend J.P. Gustad for representation for SSA denials and appeals. I sent a request for consultation via their website and J.P, himself, got back to me in a very short time period and set up a consultation phone call. Right away he had a set of questions to establish whether or not he cou...ld help me….which he reassured me he would help fight for my SSA appeal for benefits. He explained the next steps and paperwork he would be sending me to get the ball rolling. He also explained his fee off top which was straightforward and I greatly appreciated that. I also was impressed how professional yet personable J.P. was. Definitely eased my mind after the frustration of dealing with SSA. J.P and the team kept me updated and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. The process was painless {unlike dealing with SSA directly}. Once my hearing had been scheduled, J.P set up a “briefing” the day before the hearing so we could discuss the process and go over any questions I had. Scheduling the rundown the day before was great because it kept everything we had discussed fresh. I was very emotional at the time of the briefing and J.P talked me off the ledge, so to speak, and got me to a controlled, calm place so I could be mentally present at the hearing. The hearing was quick because of all the evidence J.P. compiled and work the team put in and has resulted in a fully favorable decision. I don’t know if I would have had the same outcome without all the hard work Gustad Law did. I will forever be grateful for J.P & his services.

After unsuccessful – and immensely stressful – attempts at getting approval for disability status for what is a clear and unambiguous condition (Autism) listed among the qualifying conditions, I was lucky to be referred to Gustad Law Group on this final effort. John and his staff were truly amazing ...in making sure I was comfortable, informed, and they were so considerate of my needs. As discouraged and disheartened as I was after initial failure, I am just as grateful to John and his team for not only understanding the situation, but in fighting for my benefits –successfully. I would recommend to anyone seeking Disability Benefits that no matter how clear and convincing you believe your case may be – it is almost certain that you will be denied without proper and qualified legal counsel. I can recommend Gustad Law without any reservation or hesitation whatsoever. I truly believe their efforts saved my life.

After being denied social security disability benefits and appealing that decision one time I contacted the Gustad Law Group for help with my second appeal. It takes time working with the social security administration with each decision taking around six months. So I hired John-Paul Gustad to help m...e with my claim for benefits. The Gustad Law Group team was able to help me during the COVID so everything was done over the phone or with mailing. That team JP Gustad has in place is awesome each person I dealt with was polite, friendly and confident. The Gustad Law Group team got me a hearing scheduled and with preparation and some guidance to talk with a judge the decision was giving awarding me with my social security disability benefits. If your scrolling through looking for help just stop and give them a call at (206)533-2222. My thanks again go to JP Gustad and his team!

John was super easy to work with because he's a really good communicator. He explained the whole process to me, told me what to expect in my hearing, and helped me to better describe the ways my disabilities affect my life. I am more than satisfied with the way John handled my case, and the outcome w...e got.

I am a 100% disabled veteran and I applied for social security disability over two years ago. My first application was denied, as was my appeal. I requested a hearing by an administrative law judge, as the decisions were unfair and defied the overwhelming medical evidence of my case. I contacted M...r. Gustad’s office and asked them to represent me in my hearing. After my induction interview, I had little hope the outcome of the hearing would be any different, despite encouragement from Mr. Gustad’s office. After delivering supporting documents, and approving access to my information at Social Security, they quietly went to work preparing my case. The day of the hearing came, and I was amazed at the evidence and supporting arguments that Mr. Gustad presented on my behalf. He truly understands the law and the Social Security system, and laid out a clear and concise case supported by my medical evidence. My case was approved and his amazing work will change my life. I could have never made the case he made by myself. I highly recommend employing him if you are faced with a similar dilemma. You will be glad you did!
