Reviews for David
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Downard and his associates were courteous, thorough, and professional in every way. During the long disability appeal process, Mr. Downard personally telephoned me to assure me that the case was moving forward. His encouragement, at a time when my spirits were at their lowest ebb,meant a great deal to me.
He really tries to help individuals who have disabilities to get the help they need.
My now deceased husband first contacted him. Upon my husband's death, I contacted Mr. Downard to let him know he could drop the disability case for my husband due to his death. He told me that as the surviving spouse, I could continue the claim. We are still in the process of an appeal.
Mr. Downard was very professional and friendly. He made my husband and I very comfortable when we met. He was able to answer our questions and give us the information we were needing to proceed with case appeal to SSI. He is very knowledgeable in SSI cases.
Very good at dealing with Social Security Disability Claims.
They have been very helpful in appealing my disability, however reaching them is sometimes next to impossible.
They assigned a lawyer and a paralegal to my case. It was easy to get in touch both of these individuals. The paralegal on my case understood my situation better than the lawyer, but the lawyer was very sympathetic. This is a good firm and I would recommend them to anyone who required their particular legal specialty.
I hired this firm for my social security disability claim. My attorney set my court date, I only talked to him once over the phone, and I was in front of the judge for about 2 minutes and i was approved. It costs me $6,000.00 for one phone call and 2 minutes.
He was hard to speak to, didn't stay in contact with me. Though he eventually won the case it could have been resolved much sooner.
Fought hard for my wife's benefits.
