On September 3, 2017, I was 60 and had a stroke. After I got home from the Hospital (three days), I realized that my memory, energy and ability to focus was impaired. I applied for disability with my personally paid (for over 30 years) disability insurance company. I was approved within 60-days of application. I went online to see what I had to do to gain social security disability. It was so complicated, that I almost gave up. My adult son said, call a disability attorney. I googled the best social security disability attorney in Destin/Miramar Beach, FL. South East Disability Associates came up. I called the Attorney, Mr. Bruce Haught for a free consultation. He saw me right away. I was very hesitant because, I was uncomfortable with dealing with attorney’s. Bruce gave me all the time I needed, to ask every question I had. He was realistic on how the Social Security System really works. More importantly he was realistic in the time it would take, my chances of being approved and my overall costs. I signed up that day. During the last two years after the stroke, I have had my parathyroid taken out twice, diagnosed with AFIB (to medical procedures), Sleep Apnea and congestive heart failure. Still, the social security system turned me down twice. The team at South East Disability never gave up. They were calm and supportive. I would have given up after the first turn down. I finally had to go in front of a social security judge. She sent me to be evaluated at the Social Security’s expense, by a cognitive expert. About two-months later, close to two-years from when I had my stroke, I was approved for social security disability and Medicare. I received a letter from social security on a Monday saying I was approved. I got a call from Social Security on Thursday letting me know my past payment would be sent as a lump some to the checking account I gave them. Finally I was approved for Medicare in March and payment starting the 4th week of every month. Thank you South East Disability Associates, thank you Bruce Haught and thank you to all of the organizations team of professionals whom helped along the way. This would not have happened without you all.

Mr. Katalinic, has helped my family during this very difficult times. He did everything that he said he would do and made sure my son did not get charged with felony. The case got dismissed. He saved our lives.
