Grateful

I had a very positive experience working with this law office on my Social Security case. From the beginning, they were knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain the process clearly so I knew what to expect. Social Security cases can be stressful and confusing, but their staff made it... much easier to navigate. Communication was consistent, and my questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. I felt supported throughout the entire process and confident that my case was being handled with care and attention to detail. They were well-prepared and clearly experienced in Social Security law. Overall, I’m very grateful for their help and would recommend this office to anyone needing assistance with a Social Security disability case.

Thoughtful , dedicated, and principled

JP Gustad helped my husband with his disability claim after a harrowing and heartbreaking struggle to appeal. He was able to sift through thousands of pages of medical data, and used his knowledge of the courts and the law to make strong and logical points that we simply didn't know as laypeople. The... suit was a prolonged battle, probably more than he signed on for, but he never ignored us or made us feel lower priority. Above all, he listened and helped us maintain hope. We were finally victorious, with a better outcome than we'd even hoped for, and I can't thank him enough. I would recommend him to anyone and would hire him again in a heartbeat if I needed to.

Thankful

JP Gustad and his team showed me nothing but support through the entire process. I always felt like they listened closely, answered all my questions and went to bat for me. They are highly knowledgeable about the process and and they did a great job of explaining it to me, setting the appropriate exp...lanations. I would urge anyone going through this process to consider reaching out to John Paul Gustad and his group. This is not an easy thing to do emotionally. Could not have done it without their support.

I am extremely happy to hear your experience with Gustad Law Group was a positive one. We understand how draining this process can be emotionally as well as financially. Being discredited by a faceless and heartless bureaucratic agency provides no support and Gustad Law is here to offer encouragement as well as legal services. We are thrilled with the outcome of your case. Sincerely, JP Gustad Attorney and Principal Gustad Law Group

Gunnery Sergeant (Ret.)

If you are a retired veteran or a veteran of any kind that was injured during your service, and want to apply for VA disability. Then I highly recommend the Gustad Law Group in Seattle Washington. Not only is Mr. Gustad highly knowledgeable in applying for Social Security disability insurance (SS...DI), but they are extremely experienced in getting you VA disability benefits also. If I knew then what I know now. I would have had representation when I applied for my VA benefits several years ago. It was a long tedious process, and unnecessary. I should have had a experienced individual Handle my case. which would have saved me months of time and months of stress. Once I received my 100% disability rating from the VA. I then applied for SSDI. I initially applied for SSDI benefits myself; but soon discovered that it's nearly impossible for for someone without experience to go through the process alone. Nobody at the Social Security Department will help you with the application process, and in many instances they will purposely keep you in the dark so your application process will fail. It took nearly two years before I was approved, but then was quickly denied when my application went to Quality Control. At that point I decided I needed expert help, so I contacted Mr Gustad. Mr. Gustad and his team were very knowledgeable and had Decades of from all the research I had done. Experience is needed if you're applying for SSDI. Take it from somebody who knows. You cannot go through the process by yourself. It takes an experienced individual to navigate the process in order to get a favorable outcome. With Mr. Gustad representing me. I was able to win my SSDI case including back pay. If you're a veteran, you need somebody who has experience handling cases for veterans. I am actually a retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and I am telling you as someone who initially applied without help,.. you need help. Mr. Gustad is that man.

I highly recommend John-Paul Gustad and Gustad Law Group for effective and successful representation for SSDI/SSI denials.

“I would highly recommend Attorney John-Paul Gustad and the Gustad Law Group to anyone that is looking for effective, individualized representation if their initial application for SSDI/SSI benefits is denied. Attorney John-Paul Gustad and the Gustad Law Group has extraordinary experience and expert...ise, along with their staff’s skill, knowledge and ability to provide the most effective zealous legal representation and attention possible regarding SSDI/SSI claims for disability from the initial intake through the award of benefits and the post-entitlement process. As a US Navy Disabled Veteran, I was extremely pleased with my successful outcome in obtaining my benefits and I was particularly moved by their unwavering support and compassion for my service. While the process can be challenging, and perhaps an impossible uphill battle otherwise with adjudication during my reconsideration appeal, I was pleasantly surprised upon receiving a fully favorable decision without further denial, or delay. I was greatly reassured, and remained informed all the way through the entire process by John-Paul Gustad and the Gustad Law Group upon successfully winning these benefits for me, whom not only eliminated any remote uncertainty I may have had, but rather provided me with a great deal of peace of mind. My family and I are eternally grateful for John-Paul Gustad and the Gustad Law Group, and again I would absolutely recommend them without reservation.”
