I'd even go so far as to say, he's probably the best Social Security attorney in all of Washington State.

From the owner: Olympia disability lawyers will fight for the Social Security or SSI benefits that you deserve If…read moreyour physical or mental health makes working difficult or impossible, you may be entitled to Social Security disability or SSI benefits. Qualifying for benefits, however, is often an uphill battle. You must convince the Social Security decision makers that you meet Social Securitys unique definition of disability. The Social Security Administration is a huge government bureaucracy with many rules, regulations, and definitions. Its no surprise that most claimants feel confused, frustrated, and alone as they attempt to obtain their benefits. Many disability claims are incorrectly denied at first, but later are approved after a hearing. Thats why it is vitally important to appeal if your claim has been denied. Your best chance of success is at a hearing before an administrative law judge.

I hired two other firms to help win my redetermination, but they were indifferent. Horrible communication. Then I turned to Gustad Law Group, which attracted me because they were attached to the same building as the Social Security Office, and they stressed how personally they take your case, especially as a disabled veteran. They went to work on my case right away. I turned over to them all my relevant medical records (and photos) as proof of my disabilities, Gustad Law did the rest. They won my re-determination a scant seventh months later, and that also got me Medicare Parts A and B along with a monthly cash payment. They also helped me to understand the entire disability filing process. Mr. Gustad also advised me that I had a substantial back payment forthcoming, and I didn't know what to say, except Thank You! I do know that if you don't want to waste time and want the best hard working law group, you can't do better than Gustad law. No money up front, they get paid only if you win. At my age time is important, and we all need money to survive. I'm confident that they can help others, too, who really don't stand much of a chance without their help. Absolutely recommended. A+++

For example, they don't bother explaining the process to you at all. The woman there mailed me forms with all of my sensitive information on them without sealing the envelope. No real apology. Just excuses, an attitude, and telling me, "I'm only human." When you work at a law office, or any office where you're sending people's SS#, address, etc... Perhaps you should triple-check. I would've gotten fired for less working in healthcare. I spent so much time filling out paperwork, listing every doctor and clinic I've seen in the past few years. Let's just say that list is very long, and due to my disability, it is extremely difficult for me to remember things, and it takes me longer to gather information. I also signed a medical records release form in addition to a contract and other forms. Everyone I've talked to states their attorneys do all of the paperwork (which is why they hire them). Not this one. I wrote to the woman who works there, since I was told multiple times I would not be speaking to JP Gustad until "I guess when you go to court," and asked her about next steps/what to expect. Again, why am I having to do this? She then tells me what I already know. The date I appealed, and about how long it would take SSA to make a decision. That's it. Nothing about what they will be doing to help the outcome of said decision. Then she tells me to provide them with a list of doctors I've seen since MAY of this year. Unbelievable. What exactly is this firm doing? Had I not written to her, we all would've just sat around and waited for the SSA denial. I respond to her, pointing out how they should be retrieving my medical records and asking what they will and will not be doing so I'm aware. Low and behold, a call comes from their office. I'm unable to answer. Then I receive an email from Mr. Gustad. He asks me which of three doctors would support my disability diagnosis. I explain (in detail) each of their strengths & weaknesses, if you will. I, like almost every other person with disabilities, have doctors who don't really advocate for us, don't know much about our conditions, and leave us to fend for ourselves. I receive a very curt email from Gustad's office today (so they can communicate when it's on their terms) informing me that he will no longer be representing me (was he doing so before?). My advice is to pick literally any other firm. The red flags were there. If an attorney can't be bothered to do the bare minimum, you're better off on your own. Lastly, he sent me a text message as soon as I filled out the contact form on their website. Eager to get business, but that's about it.

I contacted Henderson Law Group because I am seeking to find *local* legal help for assistance with closing a family member's estate and creating a will for myself. Lori Zander returned my call promptly, but was rude and belittling when it turned out I was confused whether or not the estate had gone to probate, seemed to find it suspicious that I was seeking a new law firm in Olympia rather than continuing to work with a high-priced attorney in Seattle even after I explained I had relocated to Thurston County, and in general spoke to me with a tone of superiority and disdain. Apologies that I am not as fluent in the law and legal terms as you, Lori, but that's why I'm seeking assistance! I thanked Lori for all of her "help" and was relieved that she seemed to forget that I was also seeking to create a will. No need to discuss any other legal needs with Henderson Law Group after this unpleasant experience! I'll continue seeking local lawyers who don't treat their potential clients with plain condescension. Two stars only because the receptionist I spoke with was friendly and professional, and Lori Zander did return my call promptly.
