Reviews

My family and I were displaced and unfortunately I had lost contact with my attorney for a time. Right before my Social Security hearing was near, I was able to get back to San Antonio and back on my feet only to find out that my attorney had dropped me. I'm sure that this happens, if for any reason you lose communication and you are not able to reach out, what else can your lawyer do but release you? So, that I understand. However, what I did not expect was a letter from the attorney to the Social Security Administration not just saying that they are no longer representing me but the letter was more on the lines of sabotage of my case. They spoke of me angrily and spoke as though I had no respect for the legal process pertaining to Social Security in particular, something you DO NOT want the presiding judge over your case to think of you. I had to have my review without counsel and I was DENIED, possibly because of not having proper counsel but I'm also sure that their vindictive letter did not help. It was very unprofessional of them to do this, it was extremely petty, and I DID NOT expect that; especially considering that I have only met with them twice before and they didn't know anything about my character to write such a letter. Plus, they had no idea what my family and I had gone through that caused the miscommunication, in the first place. It was as if they had taken my hardships as a personal attack, so they definitely and without hesitation retaliated with the "power of the pen". We all want a "shark" of a lawyer but we just don't want or expect them to turn around and bite us! Be careful or better yet DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE because life happens to all of us and you don't want these people to treat you as poorly as they've treated me. I've uploaded that letter online as well. FIND SOMEONE ELSE, PLEASE!!!!
I'm a perfectionist and have no complaints about the handling of my case. They were on top of everything. Of course I did my part to keep them as informed as I could of all my Dr Visits and Treatments. I had to appeal as most people unless terminally ill get initially denied. I had learned these from other friend's relatives, so I knew what to expect and was patient, and did all I could as advised by both attorney and friends.
Hoping I can get matters settled quickly.
To sum it up, my husband's case had gotten terrible treatment with this law firm. These reviews are hit and miss so ask yourself is YOUR case worth only 50/50 service (maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't), if it is then go with these people. If your case isn't that important or you can take a chance on your situation, go with Ed Goldner. If you have the patience and forgiveness of a God; if you have time to waste; if you love a challenge, or if you can ignore bad reviews and naively assume "that won't happen to us", go with Ed Goldner! If you absolutely can not find a more professional law firm, with a better reputation (and of course you can) then go with Ed Goldner!!!
Great law firm, a little disorganized as there were a few incidents of lost paperwork, and a few communication failures, however the outcome of their pursuits were exactly as intended. They represented me on a personal injury and a disability case. Communicative, professional, knowledgable, experienced, and caring! Excellent!
