Disability claim

The Gustad Law Group represented our daughter in her disability claims. This was a three-year process. Throughout the whole time they were professional, responsive, competent and caring. They explained the process to us and answered all our questions promptly. We were represented by Mr. Gustad. Due t...o his years of experience, thorough knowledge of Social Security processes and regulations, and diligent caring persistence, he was able to get us the maximum disability benefits to which our daughter is entitled, which we could not have done ourselves. I highly recommend the Gustad Law Group.

Boeing medical layoff due to chemical sensitivity.

Mr Gustad and his staff helped me with initially obtaining SSDI benefits and later a retroactive SSDI award of about $30,000 after his fees. I worked for the Boeing company for about 22 years as a composites repair technician. I repaired aircraft parts for 747, 767, 777 and the latest 787 Aircraft. ... During my course of work, I was exposed to various solvent fumes, chemicals and composites repair/bonding cure fumes. This is new technology. In the latter years of my employment with Boeing, I developed severe headaches, dizziness, chronic sinus infections, and a few other medical issues. I was later diagnosed through MRI scans as having temporal lobe sclerosis. Most likely from epileptic seizures probably caused by MCS, Multiple chemical sensitivity('s). 2 independent psychologist reviewed my work and medical records, Including EEG and MRI from 2 Neurologist,s One physiologists professional "opinions" that my condition most likely resulted from daily chemical fume exposure during my work at Boeing. Another independent psychologist hired by SSDI performed 2 days of mental tests an in her final notes commented my future prognosis was poor. My treating neurologist performed several tests and made a diagnosis that overall my neurological condition is severe. Mr Gustad represented me at a SSDI Administrative Law Judge hearing, He provided records and other information from my medical history to support my disability indeed did occurred back in 2010 when I was medically laid off by Boeing. He presented an excellent case to the ALJ that I qualified for full "Retroactive" SSDI benefits. After the ALJ hearing and review, The ALJ later awarded $30,000 in retroactive SSDI benefits. I have to say, Mr Gustad and his staff did excellent work representing my disability. Al B (Gary).

Highly Recommend this attorney!

I had begun to lose faith in our legal system and all lawyers until I met John-Paul Gustad. Mr. Gustad kept me well informed, handled my case and was able to get my disability awarded to me. He was very good about walking me through this intimidating process, was incredibly patient and answered all... of my questions, was reachable by phone or by email and always returned calls and emails promptly, and was also able to get my disability back awarded, even though I had screwed up my appeal on my own. When John took over my case, I had no faith I would win--or anytime in the near future would the case be resolved. I was pleasantly surprised at how professionally he handled the case, how knowledgeable he was about the law and process, and how quickly the case was resolved. Mr. Gustad is everything a lawyer SHOULD BE. I would heartily recommend Mr Gustad to anyone fighting for their disability, he is truly a great advocate and very caring about his clients. You would be very glad you did, I sure was.
