David Phillip Oliver

After being denied benefits several times, my husband and I hired Mr. Oliver to help us through the process. He filed all of the appeal paperwork on our behalf. requested records, and obtained statements from all of our medical providers. He was incredibly patient and explained things in a way we cou...ld understand. After a lengthy process of denials, my husband has been approved benefits. I do not believe we would have won without Mr. Oliver's representation.

Last fall, after two denials, I was waiting for my hearing to be scheduled, which was taking forever. Finally I received my hearing date and immediately after, my first attorney informed me that he was dropping my case. He said that the judge I was assigned to is so awful that he refuses to deal with... her. So here I was, already 2.5 years into the process, with my hearing date set and no attorney. I was so disheartened (on top of being very sick) that I almost gave up. I decided to call just two attorneys to see if one would take my case. So I researched attorneys in my area and chose two. One turned me down without even taking the time to really understand my case. But lucky for me, David Oliver took the time to listen and felt that my case was strong. He was not intimidated by the judge and said he would never drop a client because of a tough judge. David was patient and thorough and made sure all of my important records were in. He created custom questionnaires for me to take to my doctor, therapist, physical therapist and surgeon, and advised me on the personal letters I needed to collect. The judge had really harsh reviews and has only approved 19% of her cases so far this year. I was intimidated. But David explained his strategy and why he felt we would win. The hearing was this morning and the judge was very kind and patient. It's almost been 3 years since I filed my disability paperwork, and it's finally over. We won! I'm grateful to David for his attention to detail and careful guidance. When I looked at my records after my second denial, it was clear that my former attorney only collected about half of my medical records and never once spoke with me to advise me about strategy or anything I could do to strengthen my case. This has been quite a journey and I'm so glad I ended up with the right attorney. It was a disaster that turned into a great blessing. Thank you so much David, for taking the time to understand my case and supporting me!
