Excellent lawyers~be patient if you have a SS case~ it takes 6 months to get your case heard before a Judge~ the lawyers will explain & prepare you for the process. From there it may take at least another 3.5 months to have a decision made on your case. Stay positive & keep in contact with your assig...ned lawyer. Remember: Look out for yourself & double-check with your Attorney that all the pertinent paperwork is in place for the Hearing & Judge's Review. (e.g. Doctors' Records, Doctors' Letters, Any related Tests/Exams). When I say keep in contact ~ please don't call every week ~ an email once a month is fine ~ just know they don't make very much on SS cases & are not a doctor ~ they are very good @ replying to emails ~ however, do not need to hear a sob story ~ they are your Attorney dealing in facts ~ leave the rest for family/friends/doctors & as mentioned above please be patient as the SS has their own time-line as stated above. I wish everyone the best!

John Paul Gustad reached out to me after I filed a claim for disability and had been denied twice and I requested legal help through the state. Although he was not the only attorney to contact me, he was the one who took real time to talk with me and get to know my situation. He asked intuitive quest...ions and answered MY questions because HE CARED! This is a lengthy process from requesting a hearing to getting a hearing date scheduled, but once the time came, when we walked into the conference/courtroom, I had complete confidence that Mr. Gustad had prepared everything necessary, and had put together a winning argument in favor of my claim. The judge was absolutely pursuaded to find in my favor, and to overturn the two previous denials, without the need for further evaluation or testimony from any other professional. In fact, the judge expressed that Mr. Gustad had prepared my case so well that he only had 3 very easy questions for me, rather than the typical barrage of questions he has for people filing for Disability. Mr. Gustad and his team worked diligently to ensure that my file was complete and up-to-date, and they treated me with compassion. I am extremely thankful for all of their help and for the tremendous burden of stress and anxiety that was alleviated due to their outstanding efforts, and I am extremely relieved that they were able to help me achieve a successful outcome for my claim. Without a doubt, it is my recommendation that John-Paul Gustad be the FIRST choice for personal injury and disability claims. I only wish I'd known about him when I was first injured.

I was very glad that they were extremely thorough in researching through the various medical groups dealing with medical prognosis's as well as the ones dealing with the mental issues. I would and have pointed people who are in need of their services, because of what I have written about. Thank you G...ustad Law Group.

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.
