Most lawyers will only become involved if a claim has already been denied. However, we help clients prepare their initial application, which goes a long way towards setting up for a favorable decision from the start.You will find that our reputation of excellent service shines from the moment we answer our phones, through our work with claimants, even at times, long past the decision they receive. We often appeal post hearing cases and have been successful in obtaining reversals and remands from the Appeals Council.We also help you find the resources you need to help you with medical expenses or to help you get back on your way to work.

Matt helped my daughter get her disability after I had tried for over 3 years. So grateful for his help. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is struggling with their cases and even if they are just starting their journey.

He helped me immensely. I had way less to do than I thought I would. He was great and explained everything so well. I won my case and am very grateful.

Hired Attorney

He really did nothing but take you're money. I should have done it by myself. He doesn't speed up process and you do all the work. He takes 9,000 for doing nothing.I wouldn't recommend him but most lawyers are like this.

Hired Attorney

Initially started ok. Not completely accurate in sharing medical information with social security. The longer my case lasted the harder it was to reach them or get them to attend hearings. Eventually they stopped responding completely in the middle of my case. I had to hire another attorney to take over & handle terminating Nielson’s contract. Bad business!!
