Richard A Gutstadt PC

I can't thank Mr Gutstsdt and Erik enough for all of their help with my Social Security Disability claim. They were honest about my chances and helped me throughout the process, which ended up at trial. We won & I can't thank them enough. I recommend them whenever I have the opportunity to. I was previously working with another attorney who said on his commercial he works with you directly. Not only did I never even talk to him until I fired him, but SSA didn't end up with 1/2 of the documents I submitted. It made sense why I was denied twice. They came highly recommended to me and I wouldn't hesitate in calling them. You will not regret it!

I can’t thank Richard and Eric enough for their hard work on my Social Security disability case. It has been a long haul over several years but they have made sure that I knew everything that was happening and I was fully informed. They are professional, trustworthy and experienced attorneys and they go all in for their clients! If you need any kind of help at all with Social Security Disability you could not go to a better Firm. I knew I was in the best hands and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much!

I contacted Richard over 2 years ago after being denied my Disability benefits the first time. He and his partner, Eric, are extremely well-versed in SSDI law, processes & the court system. Additionally, they understand the human side of managing disability’s and really care about their clients welfare. They are compassionate but straight forward and honest with clients — a trait hard to find. Working with them at a distance during Covid lockdown was smooth & they were easily accessible anytime I needed them. We went through two rounds of filings with SSDI before I was approved in Dec 2021. And even after I was approved there is still wrap-up work and guidance they are providing. I could not have been successful without Richard & Eric’s legal representation & guidance! I am thankful every day.

I was fortunate enough to hear about Richard Gutstadt from a sister in-law who knew of his work. I contacted his office and was able to get Eric Patrick to listen to my story and he was so compassionate in the manner he spoke back to me and really cared that I was having so many difficulties in life, let alone troubles with social security having had denied me twice on my own. I am beyond happy to share that even after hearing how difficult my case might be to prove, he was never discouraged and took my case. Long story short, we won!!!!!! I am forever grateful to everyone who worked on my case and wish continued success for this office! Need I mention, the great communication I’ve had also! This was important to me as I have trust issues and anxiety!

Richard Gutstadt's office worked for over two years with me on my disability claim. During that time I met several people in their office and each was kind, professional and clearly knew the best way for my claim to proceed. Over the 2 years, both staff and lawyers spoke to me regularly, answered all my questions knowledgeably and with specific information that could help my case. I found them to have an excellent knowledge of disability laws. Their office, and specifically my lawyer, Eric Patrick, was always there for me, often calling me to help with paperwork before I even received it in the mail; their office always offered to fill it all out for me also if I was unable. I must also remark on their staff: I spoke regularly to the staff and they were professional, knowledgeable and helpful but above that, they were extremely kind. My claim process went exactly as Mr. Patrick had laid out for me in the beginning: possibly I would be denied initially but the Mr. Patrick and their law offices would help me at every point. Mr. Patrick and Mr. Gutstadt both met with me at length before my hearing and prepared me in terms of what to expect, how to prepare for it, and how best to present myself during the hearing. They even knew many of the judges in the area and knew how each might tend to see my case. Of course the judge was assigned randomly but all the preparation worked. Even after the determination was made and everything was settling, their office reviewed the disability claim to ensure that all had been done correctly by the Disability office. Would I recommend them? Absolutely. Would I hire them again: Yes!
