The Law Office Of Karl E Osterhout LLC

Randy Jackson has been so helpful and compassionate to me. This is my first time applying for disability and working with an attorney. He explained to me each step, and it has shown me how much they actually care about their clients. He has been very respectful and well friendly to speak to, looking forward to seeing what's next in my case. So far, it has been an amazing experience with OBD !!

I hired this law firm after my husband died from cancer. I had put my health on hold to take care of him and they knew I was left with nothing and suffering with Rhumatoid Arthritis, I had one hip replaced and need the other one replaced, I also need a knee replacement and I need a complete shoulder replacement. They told me I wasn’t going to get a lot and I fully believe that’s why when they turned in my initial claim they didn’t include any of my medical records from my primary care Dr nor my pain specialist that I’ve been seeing for more than 10 years. They lied to me about why I was turned down and was rude to me when I confronted them. How can you call yourself a disability lawyer when you would let a widow suffer for two years just so you can make twice the money. They knew I had no family to help and they didn’t care. The typical case is resolved in 245-300 days and they made me wait 730 days just so they could make twice the money. Then had the audacity to send me a bill for $438 and I’m the one that got my medical record's. This is why lawyers have such a bad reputation!

I really appreciate these short seminars. they are very convenient and I always pick up some things, and I appreciate the materials to print out and review so that hopefully something will stick. Thank you for providing them.

OBD took my case when I was at federal appeal level & won..I'm very pleased with their service and how fast they got everything done. Thank you! Would recommend!!

I hired Osterhout and Berger in 2/22. the process was long and difficult for me. The fist application was denied. So we appealed. The second hearing was set for 3/23. Two weeks before my hearing i was informed that due to not having enough medical evidence the likelihood that the judge will approve my case was low. Osterhout's assistant stated my attorney recommended I cancel the appeal and withdraw my case. In doing so it will be easier for me to reapply in the future. Over a year into the process and 2 weeks before my hearing they decide i have a weak case. I hired a new attorney to start the appeal all over again. According to them i do have a strong case. When i received the copy of the letter requesting to withdraw, sent to the judge, it stated only that i was withdrawing and i was aware of the effects of that decision. It did not mention that my attorney advised me to withdraw, or that only the effects of not withdrawing were explained to me. I have a mental heath disability that hinders my ability to react in a timely manner and focus on tasks for very long. My attorney, that i trusted in a time of great need, pretty much abandoned me. Further, my new disability analyst informed me that Osterhout did me a great disservice. This firm did not have my best interest at heart. Hopefully my new attorney will.
