This is just one example of Barbara's many testimonials: "I am writing to commend you on the excellent representation that you have provided to me in regard to obtaining Social Security Disability. I greatly appreciate your professionalism, extreme efficiency and courtesy. I felt very informed during every step of the process. In addition, I also appreciate the commitment and reliability you both displayed through out the process. I don't think that I would have been successful without your help. I would even venture to say that you went above and beyond your job descriptions to ensure that my claim was handled properly. I would definitely recommend your law firm to anyone requiring expert assistance. Again, I thank you so very much." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dear Ms. Tilker, I wanted to take an opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude for all the efforts put forth by you and Chris Latham. The time and energy spent documenting my medical problems and following the trail of specialists proved most valuable to winning our case. The fact that it tookus 2 years to get a hearing with the Social Security Office and 6 years to get a favorable decision is a testimony to your persistence. In addition, I greatly appreciate your responsiveness with matters under your control. Approximately 8 weeks have passed since I received the 6 years of back pay owed me, more than 7 years after your filing. Thanks to your hard work I am once again getting medical care. Without your help I would surely be homeless or deceased at this point. Humbling as it is to articulate, my savings have been wiped out, my 401k depleted, and my medical problems had gone untreated for far too long. Now I have insurance and some means of paying for my expenses. This is a direct result of your efforts on my behalf and I am thankful personally as well as professionally. ...Despite whatever happens to my health I wanted you to know how much your efforts have meant to me personally. I am representative of an entire group of people sickened by 9/11 that would otherwise have been forgotten, and your professional diligence gave me a new lease on life. Sincerely with Best Regards, ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read Barbara Tilker's Guest Column on Laporpress.org: |
