Anne Kysar, Amazing, kind, smart, trustworthy,efficent, a clients dream lawyer

When illness hit me I felt like a failure even though I had worked hard all my life. I went to another firm & was talked down too & treated like a loser.I almost gave up hope. Then I found Anne what a difference! I hired Anne at our first meeting in late June. I felt confident right away with her an...d the decision was hard for me because I don't give up easily. My claim came in immediately. No appeals etc Anne & her team did all the work for me. I was so sick & needed extra help. She gave me full attention. Anne was there for me from the beginning and I can still come to her if need be. She has an open door policy. Amazing customer service! Anne filed my claim for me. Anne sat with me and walked me through each step. & her knowledge & great communication skills helped me to understand the process. Her compassion, respect & patience with me was awesome. Anne Kysar was a gift in my life. I will use her again for any legal matters & plan to send my friends her way as well. She is the best!

Amazing results!!

I am an attorney with a head injury that forced me out of practice. Other attorneys said "call me back after you are denied" but I wanted help, and Social Security benefits, right away. So I looked and found Anne. Anne and her staff stepped right in and filed my benefits, which got approved in about... six months.. She has even promptly answered emails after the approval. As an attorney I know she cannot have these results all the time. But I cannot imagine someone doing a better job.

Securing Social Security Disability Insurance for MS Patient

I was diagnosed with MS on 4/23/97. I have pushed myself to work in my profession well after I should have stopped because of my declining health and ability. My husband collected much of the paperwork to get me into SSDI and we did apply. I was turned down because I still earned too much. My hea...lth continued to decline until working just became too draining and painful. We finally decided to hire a lawyer and Anne Kysar's name came up as a knowledgeable, caring and honest person who could help me. Through her guidance and experience, I finally could give myself permission to let go of "having" to work through my pain and I cut my hours to what I could really manage without wrecking myself for the rest of the day or week. My quality of life improved and I also now qualified for SSDI. She and her wonderful staff did the rest. They had done this so many times before. They took my information and papers, filled out the required forms, and kept me in the loop. They were polite and professional. Anne was reassuring and kind. In a short amount of effortless time (a few months) I received a letter that I had been granted my Social Security Insurance. I should have called her a long time ago! Thank you Anne!

Highly knowledgeable and a calming presence

Anne's knowledge of Social Security Disability law and the processes involved in each stage of SSDI appeals and hearings was extremely valuable to both me and my family. Her calm, thoughtful and determined approach to addressing my case eased the tension\anxiety I had been feeling prior to working wi...th Anne.

Very Helpfull

I was very pleased with the office of Anne Kysar. Not only did I speak with her personally, but also with a few of her staff and at all times I was treated with respect and that my case was just as important as anyone else that they were working on. They stayed on track and helped me get benefits. I ...would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone who is very knowledgeable but also more than just a lawyer, she makes you feel like you and your case is of importance to her. Thank you Anne and staff for everything.
