Jaclyn Janelle Gaddy

Filing for Social Security Disability is a daunting and demoralizing task. The rules are complex and the process is complicated. Although we began the process without representation it soon became clear that we were in over our heads and lacked the information necessary to provide the proper docum...entation. And, of course, we were initially denied. I found the Law Offices of Russell & Hill online. Calling them and making an appointment was essentially a "leap of faith". It was the best decision we ever made. The best decision the law office made on our behalf was assigning our case to Jaclyn Gaddy. By the time we first met with Jaclyn (after she had received several years worth of medical records), she was not only familiar with the particulars of our medical records, she had a clear understanding of even the minutiae, those endless and seemingly small or insignificant incidents/issues that, taken together, meaningfully contribute to understanding the whole medical picture. She knew them and she understood their impacts. Jaclyn walked us through the hearing process and provided excellent guidance with respect to issues that she believed the judge would focus upon (and which were, in fact, precisely the issues the judge focused upon). She was professional, prepared and always compassionate. Disability hearings are nerve wracking, they feel adversarial and hostile, and applicants, who by definition are sick and/or injured, must present their case comprehensively with clarity, focus, and credibility. It is an overwhelming expectation that requires the help of an excellent attorney. Our receipt today of a fully favorable decision only reinforces that you cannot do better than Jaclyn Gaddy. Thank you Jaclyn
