May 12, 2023 Report
My son faces numerous health challenges and has never been able to hold a job. Despite being discouraged by his doctors and therapist, who had never seen anyone succeed in obtaining SSI benefits, he decided to pursue it. Upon enlisting the help of Horenstein, Nicholas and Blumenthal, the process became effortless. Now, my son receives his payments, and we are extremely satisfied with the service provided. I strongly urge you to contact them for assistance.

If you are unable to work due to a disability HNB are the attorneys, you want to contact. Greta and Margaret helped me fill out and submit my application for SSDI benefits and I was approved on my first attempt! I know if I had tried to do it on my own without consulting an attorney I probably would have been denied because I had no clue as to what I was doing. HNB are experts and care about their clients. Anytime I had a question they were always there to answer it.

I didn't have to wait two or three days for them to return my calls, my call was returned in less than 30 minutes every single time! I am eternally grateful for the attorneys at HNB particularly Greta and Margaret because they literally saved my life from total devastation! If you are disabled and considering applying for disability don't apply without consulting an attorney first, contact HNB! They will help you and get you the results you need...They did it for me and I couldn't be happier or more satisfied!

HNB first took my SS account after I had tried to file myself. Their first attempt was also denied. So we refilled. Their support included monthly updates (by me to them). Every call From me to their support staff was returned within a day.
Walking thru the SS nightmare of bureaucracy they either took care of or walked me thru the process. It took a long time for the hearing to be scheduled by SS.

To no fault of HNB. The day before my hearing I first met with Attorney Michael Rake. He had all of my case documentation and walked me thru the steps we/I would go thru at the hearing the next day. I had been nervous and anxious regarding my case presentation/hearing for months. Each month (per the normal steps of touching base) after SS set the hearing date the HNB staff continued to be responsive and supportive.

The date of my hearing Michael met me early to ensure I was prepared for the questions SS again. My case involved physical brain atrophy as a result of diagnosed physical disease thirty years prior, with the brain atrophy affecting my speech, memory and articulation. When Attorney Rake and I were in the hearing I felt less anxious as well as more prepared. The entire process has taken years, but well worth because I was awarded a favorable decision as a resilt of HNB representing me. I highly recommend their firm.
