This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Anne Kysar is recommended for SSDI claims by other law firm

I had just lost my management job of 35+ years and hired a top-knotch employment law attorney in Seattle. When I needed representation for filing an SSDI claim, my attorney said she referred all of her clients to Anne Kysar and one other Seattle attorney. After reviewing their websites, I decided to... call Anne Kysar and she never disappointed me once. At a time that was very stressful for me, both Anne and her paralegal, Becky Leiferman, we're kind, caring, and considerate. I felt very well represented by their professional and personal touch and they made short work of obtaining approval for my disability. i was greatly impressed and delighted to have been represented by them and would highly recommend Anne and Becky to all my friends and family.

NEVER LOOSE HOPE...ATTY. ANNE KYSAR WILL HELP YOU..MS. BECKY LEIFFERMAN (PARALEGAL) WILL SUPPORT YOU.

My work ended due to a an assault while doing my job, and such assault has aggravated an already pre-existing health condition. After losing my job, i have realized i lost my life..I tried to re-composed and pick up the pieces where i fell, but the trauma that i experienced change me. All of a sudde...n, i wasn't the usual independent person who advocates help to others. All of a sudden, i felt, i needed help from someone to sort out my life. And i finally asked myself, i'd been trying to do hard work and struggle, where in fact, i have a problem with my body.I wanted to be fruitfull and productive, but my mind, body and emotion wouldn't work well. I found thru the internet the office of Schroeter Goldmark and Bender Law Firm. When I spoke to Ms. Becky Leifferman, Paralegal to Anne Kysar, she analyzed my situation, right away, she helped me with the necessary paper works so that i may get help from the DSHS and also file for dissability claim. bFollowing to that, i was processed to get SSI benefits like cash,medicaid and food stamp. Following to that is the big news, my DISSABILITY CLAIM APPLICATION was approved. It is very overwhelming to me because within a period of six months, i got approve especially in a one time application. I just realized, when your in trouble, never loose hope..never loose faith. Somebody like this people are alwaysn there to help. THANK YOU SO MUCH ATTY. ANNE KYSAR....THANKS A LOT, MS. BECKY LEIFFERMAN

Beyond My Expectations!

When I was first directed to Anne, it was through Ann Durbin, with the William Booth Center. I had experienced a stroke, mild heart attack, and esophageal hemorage on Feb. 11th, 2011, and was in transition to a non-assisted living facility in August of 2011. Her office took my case applying for SS ...disabilty, and now, only 1 year later, she was able to avoid a hearing before a majestrate, get my SSI approved, and to my knowlage, got it done in record time. (I've heard it can take up to 5 years) I have to give kudo's to her staff as well, Sarah Crawford, and Marissa Vallenty. They put in so much time. Thank you ladies! The world of law doesn't function without paralegals! My name is Frederick Michael *K, but everyone there when I would come in, called me "Mike". It made me feel like I had a family member helping me. She is kind, professional, and from what I can see, a great Mom. (Gonna have her hands full with her middle daughter though, I think.) I hope this gives you all the afformation you might need to her abilities and the help that she's given me. She Rocks!!!

Professional, knowledgeable and caring

It took two years and a hearing for me to be awarded disability. Every step of the way Ms. Kysar and her team were professional, courteous and caring. Ms. Kysar guided me through the process so that there were no surprises and ultimately a successful outcome. The hearing itself was extremely stressfu...l but Ms. Kysar prepared me for it and did an outstanding job. I highly recommend Ms. Kysar. She is an excellent attorney and clearly cares about her clients.

If looking for a Great Disability attorney, look no further.

I am writing this review prior receiving a decision on my SSDI case. I feel this is important because my case is a difficult one due to poor handling by a prior attorney. In spite of the fact that many records to substantiate my case are no longer available,Ms Kysar and her staff have always treated ...me like I was just as important as anyone else. I received 10 times more communication from she and her staff in the past 6 months than I did in 3.5 yrs with my previous attorney. Ms Kysar is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, professional and HONEST. She let me know that my case my not go the way I would like but that they would do their best to prove my case. My particular health situation has often left me feeling isolated and frustrated. Ms Kysar and her staff have always treated me with compassion, respect and sincere empathy. Regardless of the final outcome of my case I would highly recommend Anne Kysar to anyone needing disability legal services.
