Posted by Margaret | August 27, 2015 | Appeals

Social Security disability

I was pleased with the on target answer he gave me as well as additional information about my particular question. I read about a case he succeeded in getting reversed, and I was pleased he answered my inquiry so quickly. The ALJ rejected the assessments from treating physicians in his case, becaus...e he thought they were trying to help the claimant. This was improper. As a representative, this same thing has happened in one of my cases. I have been doing this for 45 years, and this is the first time this has happened to me. I would advise anyone in the Spokane area to retain him as a Social Security disability attorney or to refer disability claimants to him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
