I wish I could be one of the five-star reviews I see on here, but I felt like I was just a number. I'm not sure if they don't have enough staff needed or if they need a new way to communicate with clients and with one another in office. I began my SSDI journey 2.5 years ago, and I was instantly told that I have an excellent case with a high chance of winning disability by two attorneys. Not once in that time frame did they collect all of the medical records that I needed for my case, and I even offered to help at one point. They declined and said they would get them as that was their job. Never happened. While sad to be denied the first time, I know it's common, so I called my attorney to let them know. We appealed, and still, the medical evidence I needed was never obtained. At one point, I tried reaching out to my first attorney only to be told that they were no longer my attorney. Very frustrating, but they provided a second attorney who provided me the time and compassion that I needed during a stressful time. She helped me prepare me for my ALJ hearing, and I thought we did really well as did she. I was eventually declined by the ALJ, and when I went to contact my attorney about it, and I was told that she was no longer there. I don't know if she quit or was terminated as no one gave me an update so back to the first attorney I went. I waited for a few more months to see if the council would overturn the ruling of the ALJ due to several errors, but I was declined. By this point of the process, I felt absolutely defeated and burnt out to the point it was taking a larger toll on my mental health. There were times where I wouldn't receive phone calls or texts after trying to contact them, and that's where I felt like I didn't have the support. When I found out about the council agreeing with the ALJ, I was given an email by my attorney stating that I was declined and that they would no longer represent me if I went forward to the federal level. After the email, I reached out to my attorney in disbelief and feeling defeated while trying to understand the next steps. Of course I was frustrated by the decision due to the effort I put into it and the emotional toll it took on me not being able to work full-time. I asked her why some of my medical records weren't ever obtained and why two attorneys told me that I had a high probability of winning as it got my hopes up. I even mentioned the three new hospitalizations despite knowing I couldn't add in new evidence, but I was told that even with the new evidence and starting from the beginning, I likely wouldn't be able to win my case due to the political nature of the state I live in. It makes me wonder why they took me on to begin with. I don't like writing poor reviews, but sadly, I feel like this is the only way my voice can be heard after another call was not returned despite being told they would call me back over a month ago to discuss starting the entire process over.Read more

I needed a law firm that was willing to work on contingency because my funds were low from being wrongfully terminated from my agency. My brother gave me encouragement and reminded me of how resourceful I was in the past so I didn't give up my search. That's when I found BurnettDriskill, Attorneys. Mr. Roger Driskill has been so positive and realistic throughout this entire process. His firm was very inclusive when it came to my case and the communication was excellent! I received my benefits from OPM and retroactive pay for 2 years! Thanks Roger! I really appreciate everything you all have done! LamarRead more

Andrea Wehner, my attorney and Rebecca who was the paralegal for my case were both indispensable in me winning my SSI case. They constantly calmed my nerves and provided monthly texts just letting me know things were moving along well. Know going in it’s a lengthy process, so long in fact there were changes of lawyers for me. I had no issues with any, but am really glad I ended up with Andrea. We had or only really lengthy discussion a couple days before my trial and she walked me through what the questions would be and the process like so well it was like she could see the future. As someone who suffers from several anxiety disorders my trial could have been a nightmare and instead was a breeze because I knew what to expect. I would recommend anyone feeling helpless in their struggle against a system that can be cruel and random, there’s no better ally you could have than the wonderful people at Burnett&Driscoll! There’s only one person in the city whose given me more hope and B&D are winners like him!Read more
