You see a lot of slick television ads for lawyers that talk about aggressive tactics, high monetary…read moreawards, and large support teams. What my wife and I found in Robert Alston and his caring team at The Disability Law Firm was a quiet, small,but highly effective legal team that represented us superbly over a lengthy and complex litigation against multiple, larger legal firms and corporate agendas. From the beginning and at every step along the way of a five year odyssey, Robert and his team guided our steps, listened intently to our needs, answered all of our many questions, and pointed out all of our options so that we always felt comfortable with the legal process and confident of all decisions we needed to make. My wife and I never realized that a "simple" auto accident could have turned into such a complex and protracted battle but even when Robert recommended the addition of a special co-counsel to the team, we felt that all major decisions in the case were made transparently, explained fully, and acted on only upon our full understanding and agreement. We were provided all opportunities we needed to sit down or just communicate with the team so that we were always at the center of the litigation process; our needs, our concerns, and our expectations. Settled ultimately out of court, My wife and I felt that the litigation was resolved with the best possible outcome in a way that was fair, ethical, and extremely satisfying. If my wife and I ever have need of legal advice or representation again, there is no team we would trust more that Robert Alston and his Disability Law Firm.

When I had to retire on disability, I figured "how hard could it be to fill out the forms for my…read moreinsurer and for Social Security?". I found out. When my insurer denied my initial claim, just by chance I'd had two people close to me say THAT DAY that I might have a Ph.D., but I was NOT equipped to go nose-to nose with agencies and companies which basically exist to find reasons to tell you "no". Searching for someone relatively local to me who seemed like the "pitbull" I realized I needed, I found Nancy's info. From the first call, I felt like Nancy and her staff had lifted this incredible weight off of my shoulders. Now, understand that you DO have to listen to Nancy (or Krysti, or Megan) and if they have a form that only you have the ability to fill out...you have to do the form. They're not magic. But they explain exactly what you have to do, what you can do, and what you shouldn't do. OK, the elephant in many people's rooms: Can you afford a lawyer? When you're dealing with disability insurance and Social Security, and you're also dealing with your disability, doctor visits, and the unknown future of having to retire, sometimes far earlier than you imagined you would have to, I can promise you that 1) you really need someone who knows this aspect of the law, and 2) if you're like me, you have a million things to get done, and done right the first time, and the critical importance of your insurance and Social Security will overload your stress system. The paperwork itself is a weeks-long full-time job IF you want any chance of winning. How much is your time worth? And honestly, you'll probably lose if you go it alone. Some of you may have heard about a friend's cousin's bestie who single-handedly took on their employer's pension disability department, their own ERISA policy, and SSDI. All at once! And won all of them! And they gave her a flying unicorn too! And a puppy! Kidding aside, It comes down to this: you work for HOURS, over MONTHS and possibly YEARS, and one tiny omission or mistake, and you see "denied" again. Again, how much is YOUR time worth, for an outcome far less certain than if you hire, for example, Nancy Cavey? There was no up-front fee, and the contingency fees were in line with everyone else (they're written into the law in the case of Social Security). What you're getting is freedom from a huge amount of paperwork that Nancy and her paralegals know how to do far better than you do. You get freedom from remembering deadlines that can kill your case entirely. And at the end of the day, it's comforting to be able to think "yeah, my insurance/Social Security is a really important thing, but my lawyer's taking care of it". And Nancy and her staff did so, obtaining my disability insurance approval. I continue to work with Nancy Cavey, as I'm but halfway along my journey -- I'll update at some later era of the earth when SSDI gets back to us. Reminds me of the Fellowship of the Rings, and the Ents. Where did the Ent-wives go? Well, if they move and make decisions as slowly as their Ent-husbands, perhaps they found a home at Social Security (You have to be a REAL LOTR nerd to get that reference [it wasn't in the movies...]). Even though I still wait to I hear from Social Security, I do hear from Megan every little while, if just to let me know where in the bureaucracy my file has been moved. I'm far, far more hopeful that this too will go OK with Nancy Cavey's firm representing me. Nice, professional, competent. Great to find all three in one place. HIRE THIS ATTORNEY. You won't regret it. Update 10/22 : my first submission to SSDI was, of course, denied. Nancy and the rest of her office, efficiently, put together the request for reconsideration, and submitted it well ahead of the deadline, so once again, it's in SSA's court, and I am looking forward to them, if a miracle happens, approving me at this stage. Will update when I have more info.
