Bartels Law Firm

They were very helpful to my daughter and everything she needed to have done

I've been with them for over a year and they always treat me like they did the first time I walked through the door. They are polite, quick to answer questions and not have me waiting. They return phone calls promptly and help me fully understand the process. Highly recommended if your looking for social security lawyers.

Everyone was very friendly, helpful. The lawyer himself stepped into the office that a gentleman was taking information from us. Introduced himself to us. Most lawyers don't normally do that. I may be very wrong about my thought of the law firm being able to get us a win. But they seem confident about everything.

Upon hiring these people, i personally had to go door to door at all my medical centers to collect medical records. At the first hearing there was absolutely no preparation and pretty much went in there blind. Got denied. The second hearing was over the phone and the judge literally scolded the lawyer for being so unprepared with the client "me". Denied. At the last over the phone hearing it was obviously nothing the vocational expert could mark down for me to sufficiently work so the judge had no reason to deny me. The lawyer received $32,263.47 out of my back pay and since that obviously wasn't enough for them they have now sent me a letter saying I owe them an additional $12,473.39 If you're looking for a lawyer that does the bare minimum and expects more than a maximum payment in return then this is the lawyer to hire...

Not as it seems as a law firm. Everything was going fine so it seemed. But once hearing date came evidence that was supposed to be given to the ALJ wasn't a complete file. So I was denied SSI. This law firm dropped as a client and now I have to do this whole thing without having legal representation unless I find another attorney to take over. This "law firm" is looking like a joke and wouldn't recommend anyone to go through this group.
