I contacted Debra when I knew my only option was to go through bankruptcy after my divorce. She answered all my questions and kept me calm through this whole procedure, She made this process as smooth as possible. She is very knowledgeable and made sure everything was done perfectly . As going through a bankruptcy is a huge stress, it helped having her by my side.

Ms. Venhaus is a very compassionate lawyer. She fought a long and difficult fight for me and won on my social security disability case. Ms. Venhaus has a wealth of knowledgeable about social security disability. Very professional and had always returned my calls and emails in a timely manner. I highly recommend Ms. Venhaus.

My husband had been disabled for awhile and several lawyers told us he was too young, or find him a job he could do even under the extreme circumstances of his disability. Debra truly listened, gave us clear explanations for what was happening, was extremely helpful, informative, and took our case. I believe we would still be fighting for rights without her assistance.

Debra helped me successfully appeal a SSDI claim this past spring. She was referred by the National MS Society as someone who had helped people with MS win claims. My claim was won fairly quickly with the first appeal. She understands the law and information that needs to be on the forms. Debra kept me informed and helped me feel comfortable through the entire process. In addition to having solid knowledge and skills, she is also very ethical. I was surprised when she called to tell me that my charge would only be a fraction of what I had been quoted. I am very glad I retained Debra and wish I had done so earlier in the process. Could have saved me a lot of stress.

I have a rare bone disease and needed help with my Social Security Disability. I had called multiply Lawyers and none were interested in my case as they had not heard of my disease and didn’t think they could win. Then I called Debra Venhaus, she was difference. She listened, asked questions and said she would help me. Debra returned calls and emails from me in a quick manner. By the time of my court date, she had read all my doctor records and understood my problems. She is very professional, knowledgeable and won my case. I would highly recommend Debra Vanhaus.

I would highly recommend Debra Venhaus to anyone trying to obtain Social Security Disability. Even if you are not sure you qualify for SSD it is worth it to schedule a free consultation with her and she will tell you if she thinks it is worth pursuing. She is very knowledgeable and straight forward. She made wading through the complex SSD process seem easy. I can't imagine having to figure out such a complext process on my own and I don't think I would have successfully received disabiltiy if I had tried to apply on my own. There are state laws that dictate how much any lawyer is compensated and the amount I paid was well worth the time and result achieved. With out Debra's help I would not have known how to fill out the paperwork to receive back pay for years I didn't work before I applied for SSD. With her help I received two years back pay and her fee came out of this money so almost no money out of my pocket. Well worth your time to sit down with Debra and figure out your optons! I worked with Debra in 2005 but recently had to call to get some advice and she was easily accessible, knowledgeable and helpful.
