I am exceptionally pleased with the care and focus that the Disability Attorneys of Michigan have provided in the processing of my disability claim. I was told that it would take 15 to18 months for a hearing to be scheduled, and the Disability Attorneys of Michigan have managed to schedule my hearing in 13 months. After a two-week period, I have my results from my hearing and those results were fantastically favorable! I give many thanks and much appreciation to the Disability Attorneys of Michigan for their concern for my welfare and the positive outcome of my disability claim. I would most definitely refer others to take advantage of the Disability Attorneys of Michigan for any and all disability claims. Thank you so much for all you have done on my behalf. May God bless you all for all that you do on behalf of all those you have helped and will help in future matters.
