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.

**WARNING TO ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS FIRM**…read more DON'T I reached out to this office seeking help with an SSDI claim during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Instead of receiving guidance, my case was immediately declined by a receptionist who refused to explain why. Regardless of my diagnosis, I am still a human being, and people seeking disability representation deserve to be treated with dignity. I live with paranoid schizophrenia, vestibular migraines, severe anxiety, progressive nerve damage affecting both arms and hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, chronic scapular nerve compression, severe back pain, and debilitating gastrointestinal pain. Many days I struggle to text, carry groceries, or even hold a fork because of the pain and weakness. After spending the past year trying to survive on my savings while managing these conditions, asking for disability help was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Being turned away without an explanation left me with more questions than answers. I was later told, indirectly, only after repeated phone calls that the firm primarily focuses on clients over the age of 50. If that is truly part of the firm's case selection criteria, I believe it should be clearly disclosed on its website or upfront on a phone call so younger people with serious disabilities don't spend valuable time and emotional energy seeking help they were never likely to receive. This firm is a joke, they lie to your face, omit information and send you to the wolves. That's before becoming a client. The only thing this company is concerned with is ripping off old people. My warning is simple: if you're younger and living with severe disabilities, don't assume this firm will evaluate your case on its merits. A young mind is too quick. Before investing your hope in this office, ask whether your age or other screening criteria will prevent them from considering your claim. No one who is already struggling with chronic illness should have to leave a law office feeling ignored, dismissed, or wondering why they weren't even given the courtesy of an explanation.

Exceptional Representation by Disparti Law Group and Attorney William Hemmers…read more I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding representation I received from Disparti Law Group, especially from Attorney William Hemmers. From the very beginning, Attorney Hemmers demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of the disability process. He took the time to truly listen, explain every step clearly, and make sure I always felt supported and informed. Attorney Hemmers handled my case with remarkable attention to detail and unwavering dedication. His expertise was evident in the way he prepared, communicated, and advocated on my behalf. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience became manageable because I knew I had a knowledgeable and committed attorney fighting for me. Thanks to Attorney Hemmers and the entire team at Disparti Law Group, I achieved a successful outcome--something I could not have done alone. Their hard work and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend Disparti Law Group and Attorney William Hemmers to anyone seeking strong, compassionate, and effective representation. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

Our case was a difficult one and although we thought it was a no brainer and that we would win the case, we quickly found out that our case wasn't as simple as we thought.

This was all very new to my husband and I and brian was very patient with us and explained things many times so we would get it. He prepared us for what could happen whether good or bad. Brian has many years of experience, if I am not mistaken about or over 25 years so he's well versed. Although his fees were pricey, we got what we paid for and that was victory! So thanks again Brian.
