Jamie Olivares review

I was denied Social Security disability and hired Jamie to assist me with an appeal. She did an amazing job. Her office kept me informed throughout the entire long process and took care of all the details of gathering relevant work and medical documentation needed to advocate for my case. The admin...istrative hearing went really well, and she posed excellent questions for me to respond to in order to show the full picture of my health. My disability was subsequently approved, and I can now breathe a sigh of relief. I was very impressed with her expertise and professionalism.

SSDI

I contacted the office of Halpern Olivares in 2019 as my disability case was lingering since 2015. My case was stagnant in another state. I contacted Jamie Olivares and she resubmitted my application which was approved. I appreciate her encouragement and her tenacity in advocating for me. She and al...l those that she works with were consistent, reliable and knowledgeable in regards to my case, and facilitated a positive outcome in a complicated process.

Jamie Olivares got me SSI from a very strict judge

A therapist recommended Elie Halpern & Associates for my SSI appeal, after my previous attorney dropped my case. Elie Halpern told me my case was definitely strong enough. We went through the appeals council and the circuit court and finally got a second hearing with a judge who had a 12% approval ra...te for disability cases. Jamie Olivares' handling of my case got me the SSI benefits I genuinely needed. She's a miracle worker.

Outstanding legal representative

Jamie was an organized, compassionate, professional and diligent Legal representative at every turn. Under her representation I was successfully approved for SS Disability benefits!!!!! It was clear that she truly cared about my well being and went out of her way to support me as I navigated through ...this challenging experience. Her or her staff were readily available every time I called with questions/concerns while my case was being prepared. Her office took care of every arduous detail so I didn’t have to worry. And Jamie is very affordable. They only charge 25% of SS back-pay awarded IF the case is approved, so there is no financial risk to the client and the monthly stipend is not affected. This small fee was well worth every cent. I can’t recommend her enough!

Above and beyond

Words could not express gratitude for Jamie. I was surprisingly dropped from a law firm before I found Jamie. She gave me hope and encouragement when all seemed lost. It took 5 years of fighting and I couldn't have done that without her expertise. I appreciate her helping me with my case. It was cert...ainly worth the wait in the the end. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart Jamie and staff.
