After developing a rare, debilitating neurological disorder, my physicians and I concluded that it was unlikely that I’d be able to work in the foreseeable future (or ever). I had the endorsements of 4 different specialists, so I proceeded with the application process for SSDI. Unbeknownst to me, the system is designed to deny the majority of “qualified” applicants. My disability was denied, without them even reviewing the hundreds of pages of documentation that I submitted. At this point, I knew that I would require the expertise of an experienced disability attorney to file an appeal for me. I thoroughly reviewed multiple law firms, finally selecting the services of attorney Russell Goldsmith. From the moment I called his office, wondering if he would accept my difficult case, I knew I’d made the correct decision. His dedicated paralegal, Nicole, meticulously documented every word of our initial 1 hour phone evaluation. She would serve as my personal liaison throughout the entire complex process. Without going into detail, I will simply tell you that Mr. Goldsmith and his small team of assistants are fantastic! I was stunned by the genuine care displayed, cordial demeanor, and VERY prompt correspondence with me, throughout the preparation for my hearing. The professionalism, diligence, and knowledge of the intricacies of disability law....well, I’m at a loss for words. I won my appeal, receiving a full disability decision with retro benefits (money) that I didn’t know I was entitled to. I highly, highly recommend this law firm. If you’re contemplating filing for disability, you won’t find a better attorney than Russell Goldsmith! Don’t make the mistake that I made, believing I could do this on my own. Believe me, you NEED an attorney, and this is the attorney who does it best.
