Schwebel Goetz & Sieben (SGS) Be prepared: this process is about money, not justice or principle. Over two years ago, tragedy struck our family. Our 20-year-old son died, and our wrongful death claim involved the bar he visited that night. In our first meeting with our SGS attorney, we stressed that our priority wasn't money--it was justice. He said he understood, would file charges, and would be willing to go to court (bait and switch-read on). Their investigator gathered evidence supporting our claim. Then months of near silence passed. Eventually, our attorney said he would file charges (he never did). First red flag: he addressed me by my deceased son's name, twice. Over the following months, I personally uncovered two more critical pieces of evidence. That I had to do this myself was a major red flag--this was their job. With this new evidence, our attorney requested early mediation--without our approval and before filing charges. Reluctantly, we agreed. Before the mediation, he oddly showed doubt about our claim, then shook my hand and said, "You've done more than my investigators." Mediation failed. The mediator, hand-picked by SGS, was arrogant, dismissive. Our attorney repeated: Next step was to file charges. Again, it didn't happen. Later, the insurance company made another offer based on the mediator's suggestion. We rejected it--too low and we still wanted charges filed. But our attorney insisted we accept, otherwise find a different attorney. He gave no specifics as to why, just vague comments about the evidence, which I suspect he never fully reviewed. Integrity was simply absent, a total 180. We never requested early mediation. We were pushed into accepting a settlement we didn't believe in. Thrice, promised that charges would be filed--they never were. Meanwhile, the bar avoided court, responsibility, and bad publicity. For these reasons, they won, not us. The opposing side had better legal representation than we did. For us, this wasn't about money--it was about preventing this from happening to someone else. But without filing charges, there's no accountability. Maybe we were naïve, but we believed an attorney would fight for our principles. We were wrong. SGS focuses on volume over quality. Profit is #1. An SGS lawyer's success is measured by how efficiently they settle, not by how fiercely they fight for justice. Our attorney knew the opposing counsel, had worked with him before, and likely will again. He described him as a "reasonable guy, a real pro"--translation: a guy who'd settle quickly. There weren't just two sides--there were six: the bar, its insurance company, their attorney, the mediator, our attorney, and us. The closest bond in this party? The two attorneys. This was a business negotiation, not representation. When our lawyer said he'll "do everything he can," what he really meant was "everything he's willing to do"--Make a claim, then settle. We thought the circumstances justified more, but our claim was treated like any typical car accident. Through this process, I asked our attorney many questions, requested clarity, and posed potential scenarios. Early on, he responded vaguely. Later, arrogantly deflected and laughed-off concerns. Over 90% of claims never reach court. The system encourages mediation, and settlements can't set legal precedent. So, nothing changes, and that's the way they want it-profitable. The reality? SGS is only about profit, manipulating facts and people--not seeking justice. In our case, it meant manipulating a grieving family. (They manipulate google reviews too). SGS Attorneys say they'll "fight for you," but the key word is "for"--and it's by their definition. Once you hire an SGS lawyer, you give up control. Your goals become secondary to their financial incentives. Who holds them accountable? No one. Practicing law at SGS means knowing how to avoid it. SGS can't afford compassion, but spend millions on advertising. Justice wasn't served and our son deserved better. B.S. needs to retire.

I made a run at applying for SSDI without an attorney and got declined on both initial application…read moreand appeal, but when I read the finding summary from the judge it was like he never even read my diagnoses. It's really hard to understand what it is they are asking for. For that reason, I would recommend an attorney because it seemed it was just a matter of jumping through the right paperwork hoops, and that will take someone who has experience. Otherwise you're fumbling around in the dark. I was also homeless and very ill at the time. I'm tech savvy - but everything is so antiquated and being done by USPS paper copy with 10 day turnarounds for medical documentation. That's next to impossible even in the best of circumstances, but wait times are up to 6 months for some doctors now, so that's untenable. The SSDI application in America is set up to exclude people in their worst hour, and it's a moral travesty. For my second application, I mostly knew what I had to do from learning the first time around, but to be safe I got an attorney. Honestly, I wish I hadn't. Jacob Reitan was incredibly condescending and rude and would barely stay on the phone for more than 30 seconds to answer my questions. It seemed that his priority was not to represent me or answer my questions clearly but to sound like he was overwhelmed with other clients and that I should consider myself lucky to even get a call with him. He was up to 40 minutes late for return calls I had scheduled with his assistant and sometimes cancelled altogether. In the entire run of my case, I spent maybe a total of 10 minutes on the phone with him, 5 of which devolved into a shouting match because I expressed how frustrated I was getting with his lack of communication on my case. It's very clear to me that guy has anger/stress management issues. If you're a disability attorney representing someone with severe Complex PTSD, you should know enough about the diagnosis to work with a person who is fragile because they are ill. At a minimum, you should be able to maintain composure an clarity with any neurotypical baseline client. This man has neither. If he's reading this - he should take an honest look at himself, consult with the people he works with on how he is being perceived and get into therapy to deal with it. If I can do it, he can. In the end I won my case not because I was well represented, but because I had done the heavy lifting getting together my documentation and learned from my first go-around. He spoke maybe 2 sentences total during the judicial hearing. I think I won because of my thorough documentation and a fair judge.
