After I was awarded permanent and total disabled through the veterans affairs I tried to file for ssdi. I was quickly denied, so I decided it was time to retain a lawyer. I called many, and kept getting told that because I received va disability it wasn't worth the fight. I decided to call one more t...ime and it was John-Paul Gustad. He quickly agreed to fight for me and started working. After 4 years I was still denied. John-Paul Gustad told me to refile instead of cutting his losses like most people would do. I filed for the second time and after the usual denials John-Paul Gustad kept fighting and was successful arguing my case to the judge. Any other lawyer would have gave up on me. I can't thank him enough and I would recommend him to everyone.

When I began the process of applying for Social Security disability, I thought I was prepared. As a Registered Nurse and a certified Case Manager, I had learned about the needed requirements and assisted others in navigating the application process. I was wrong. I needed help and chose the Gustad Law... Group. The support I received from Mr. Gustad and his team helped me to a “Fully Favorable” decision. I thought, finally, after almost 3 years, Mr Gustad resolved my Social Security Administration disability case. That wasn’t to be the case. Instead, my case was incorrectly classified and the benefit was slashed. In addition, I was to pay back $30,000. I immediately provided all the documents to correct the error. Then, COVID hit and I spent months getting no where and your team had not even been paid for your services. When I learned this, I called your office and Angela received my call. From that day forward, Angela, became my liaison to the Social Security Administration Disability office. At this point, I felt so broken and defeated. Angela would finally get the error resolved, however, it took over a year for this error to be corrected. Angela kept me well informed and really eased my anxiety. I felt relieved to have her on my side; she is such an asset to your Law Group. I want to express my sincere gratitude to your team; I never expected to be so well supported after the Disability hearing, as you continued to fight for me through the most extraordinary times of the COVID pandemic. I can’t express enough the gratitude my family and I have for Mr. Gustad and his team, and I would recommend the Gustad Law Group to anyone receiving a denial from the Social Security Administration.
