We had a consultation with Mel during which time we were blown away by his extensive knowledge of the SSA disability application process and rules. He has been in the field for years and is an expert in it. As it turned out, my husband's situation was so cut and dry due to the severity of his illness (cancer) that as Mel himself told us, we probably wouldn't need his services. A year later, after my husband got on SS disability I contacted Mel with some questions regarding working while on SSDI. Mel promptly called me and advised and did not charge me. If you apply for disability with a lawyer, you might get an inexperienced assistant or lawyer handling your case and not very much of the experienced lawyer's time. When you go with Mel, your case will definitely be handled by him. A caring, capable professional. Highly recommend. read more
