Rick Tolin review

Although Mr. Tolin could not represent me for my SS hearing he took the time to give me very valuable information so I could go ahead with my hearing with some knowledge and confidence. NO OTHER attorney or office I had contacted gave the time of day to even reach out or get back to me with any oun...ce of help as he did. I went thru my hearing with no representation and am now waiting for results. Win or lose at least Mr. Tolin gave me great advice. Other attorney offices including Danielle Beaver told me my case was a 50/50 and gave no further advice, direction or referral. She also stated it may not be a good idea to go without representation because if I lose I need to start all over again proving the same disability got worse or not being able to claim on same injury. Her screening process seemed to be more selective for cut and dry easy cases. I am grateful Mr. Tolin spoke to me and suggested I go ahead with my hearing reassuring do not reschedule it. I will be back in touch with him once I receive my results. He gotta be the best out there considering my situation.

He keeps it real!

I recently retained Mr. Tolin for my S.S. claim. He immediately sent me all the paperwork to be filled out, and explained to me in detail the process until I fully understood. I am very confident that Mr. Tolins extensive knowledge in this matter will win me the benefits I deserve. He keeps it real ...and he keeps it simple! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking help with Social security claims that have a disability making it difficult to understand this extensive and time consuming process.
