I have had a good experience with Balin Law. Excellent communication and very respectful. Highly recommend! U0001f607
Years ago I realized my health got so bad that I couldnt work anymore and went to a different law firm originally and I went to court with them and got turned down. Then the law firm sent me a letter saying they'd no longer represent me. I almost gave up then went to Balin. They were able to get me approved for disability and I didn't even have to go to court! They treated me really well. I would recommend Balin Law to anyone!
Balin Law was very professional and understanding. They kept me informed on what was going on with my case every step of the way.
I thought it would be a good idea to use them for my case. They seemed to be a well respected law firm. I have to say the #1 complaint I have with them is very poor communication. They shuffled my case through at least 6 different people, thus making it impossible for me to know who I should be in contact with. When the time came for my hearing before a ALJ judge, The attorney representing me made me feel intimidated during the pre hearing brief. She did not want to listen to me. It was like she was treating me like I was an idiot. Then she did not even have any arguments to convey to the Judge. It was like I could have not even had her in the room. I was told that the hearing would be informal, but I felt like I was being interrogated. I would think that my attorney would have questioned the Vocation Experts thoughts on what types of work I would be best suited for. Nope, that did not happen. No arguments from her. Even when the judge did not want to accept my Doctors report. I feel that this law firm takes on all cases that are thrown their way and hope for the best. As I said before Communication with this firm is very bad. 4 years of my life have been wasted.
After being denied disability several times I felt as if no one believed I was even injured. I was at another doctor's appointment and I overheard a woman who had a similar story like my own. After she finished talking I expressed my current circumstance. She gave me Paulette Balin's office number. After a brief consultation my husband and I could see the energy and confidence this vibrant lawyer had. For the first time someone assured me that my injuries were valid and she was sure that she could not only help but win the case. After only a few months I received a letter from Social Security that my disability had been approved. I must have starred at this letter for days!!! I not only rejoiced and thanked God but also this wonderful lawyer who was simply a messenger sent by Him. My husband and I are eternally grateful for her giving me my life back!!! Paulette Balin is hospitable, energetic, confident and intelligent. I recommend her highly and her staff highly if you have any issues similar to mine.
