Morgan & Weisbrod

I had been trying to deal with the SSA application process for 3yrs on my own. After being denied at the reconsideration level, I knew it was time to get help from someone with experience. I researched hard, and I came across Morgan & Weisbrod. The reviews were great, so I gave them a call. They immediately took my case, and filed my appeal this past November for a hearing with the ALJ. I had my hearing in April of 2024, and on 5/24 I received a fully favorable decision. The communication with my attorney, Robert Miller and his assistant was amazing. They answered all my questions in a timely manner, and they kept me up to date with everything. Mr. Miller did an outstanding job representing me during the hearing. He was very encouraging the day of the hearing to me. I’m not even kidding when I say I’m extremely impressed with Mr. Miller and his assistant for all they did to help me win my case! I highly recommend Morgan & Weisbrod. Please, don’t hesitate to give them a call.

I know trying to decide how to select an attorney to help you with filing for disability is often hard, confusing and stressful. I am currently waiting for a decision from SS but in the meantime, let me recommend this firm and in particular, my attorney and his team: John M. Driskill. I was trying to select an attorney and has written down the name of the firm, then while at my oncology clinic I picked up their flyer and spoke to a couple of people getting chemo that were also using this firm. So, I gave them a call. This whole team has had very good communication with me and all I have to do is check my email and I am notified to check my client portal. Easy. The team has been responsive when I call with a question and my lawyer, John M. Driskill actually made me feel HEARD. He and I have spoken a few times with no rush in spite of my tendency to talk too much! He was kind and helped me focus in on what was important and to leave out all the other stuff. He accompanied me to my hearing and took time to review before we walked in so I felt more comfortable with what I needed to do. Yes, it's a LONG process. Yes, if this firm CAN help you, they WILL. It is simply hard to be disabled with nowhere to turn. If you are thinking of filing, try this firm. Once I know what is going to happen with my case, I will update the review!

John Driskell and Morgan Weisbrod were amazing in helping me through the whole process of getting my disability claim. They were very informative and kept me informed through the whole process. I definitely recommend anyone that is looking for a great firm to represent them.

Paul Burkhalter handled my case and I can't say enough positive things. I knew with my mental acuity gradually getting worse, I needed someone to make sure I met all deadlines and offer tips on how to complete the health assessment forms. These need to be completed in your own words, but the paralegal helped me condense my paragraphs so they were easier to read. A few tips: 1) It took me 2 1/2 years to get approved. This falls in the approximate timeframe SSDI states on their website. 2) I had paralegals through the process and Burkhalter took over at the third stage. I'm quite intelligent, but I wouldn't have had a clue how to present my case in court, for the win. Burkhalter was very thorough. 3) Yes, they get 25% of any back pay up to a certain amount (these figures are set by Social Security), but in my own personal opinion, getting a percentage of my back pay vs none, was well worth it. 4) An attorney can not speed up your case through the process, technically(see the next few bullets) 5) Hiring an attorney will help you by ensuring your SSDI caseworker has everything they need and avoiding delays. -They review documents to ensure they are completed in full, concise, and you don't make mistakes that could go against you in the process. -They make sure you submit all paperwork on time - They gather and maintain all paperwork you need from the doctors 6) DO NOT GIVE UP AFTER THE FIRST AND SECOND DENIAL!!!! The majority of all cases end up getting denied in these first two attempts. All in all, I truly believe I would not have been approved or at least this quickly without their help. I really sailed through this process without the stress of working directly with SSDI. The staff and Burkhalter listened intently, answered all questions even the redundant ones, and each person I dealt with treated me with the utmost respect, and concern. The whole process I felt like each person truly cared about the results of my case and not just another number and paycheck EXTRA: They are one of the only practices that coordinate with an insurance agency that helps walk you through the Medicare process after you win. This is a BIG PLUS. The agent I worked with was very thorough and spent quite a bit of time helping me sift through the mess they call Medicare. Thank you Burkhalter and your team again for everything you did. I would give you a 10 if I could!!!

I’m am so appreciative of the care your team provides. If ever I get the chance to give a referral I will be sure to tell everyone how easy you guys were to work with. Again thanks for being so helpful. 5 star!!!
