John Andrew Wylam

I provide the highest recommendation for Andrew Wylam, Esq., Executive Director of Pandemic Legal, who represented me throughout an incredibly challenging 1.5-year battle with long COVID–related disability denials. Andrew’s expertise, commitment, and compassion truly changed the course of my life. ... From the beginning, Andrew believed me. He believed in my symptoms, my lived experience, and the seriousness of long COVID at a time when many others did not. Throughout the entire process, he never asked for a single dollar upfront. Instead, he and his firm invested directly in my case—arranging and paying for a full vocational assessment and extensive neurological testing to make sure my condition was properly documented and understood. Andrew stood by me through two denials, navigating every complex appeal with unwavering determination. There were countless moments when the process felt overwhelming—cognitively, physically, and emotionally. With the level of pain I was in and the cognitive challenges long COVID caused, I could not have managed this on my own. Andrew became my voice, my advocate, and my steady guide through a system that often feels impossible for chronically ill patients to face alone. After 1.5 years of persistence and expert legal strategy, I won my appeal. There is no doubt in my mind that this outcome would not have been possible without Andrew. His advocacy was not just professional—it was deeply validating. To have someone fight for me when I could no longer fight for myself is something I will never forget. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend Andrew Wylam to anyone seeking representation for long COVID or disability claims. His knowledge, integrity, and compassion set him apart, and I will forever be grateful for everything he has done for me.

Andrew helped me get ongoing payments through private disability coverage for Long COVID. He was professional, efficient, and communicated clearly. The case was also complicated by the fact that it was a late application for disability and there isn't very much precedent for Long COVID symptoms. He f...igured out a good angle to argue my case and I'm in a much better place because of it. I'm really glad we went with Pandemic Legal because we previously spoke with for-profit law firm who were going to take a substantially higher cut of my back pay (as well as a cut of all ongoing payments).
