Client Feedback: Real Experiences of Care and Support
At YOUR DISABILITY ATTORNEY, we know how frustrating and stressful the process can be of applying for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). We understand you have questions and concerns, and that each client’s needs are unique. It is our pleasure to assist you through this process step-by-step. Our firm’s practice is led by Attorney Holly Trief, who prides herself on providing knowledgeable and caring legal representation throughout the Bay Area, and beyond.
Below are Reviews & Testimonials from some of our past clients. They have experienced first-hand the knowledge, guidance, and care we provide every step of the way. Having gone through their own challenges in obtaining Social Security disability benefits, we know that they can attest to not just our expertise in the field of disability law, but also to our commitment to assist disabled clients in obtaining the benefits they are entitled.
Hope after First Denial: Maria’s Experience
“By the time my SSDI claim was denied, I had developed such severe rheumatoid arthritis that it was hard to get even a shower done, much less mountains of paperwork and red tape appeal processes. Holly Trief truly listened to my story and tried to understand every bit of my medical history, walking me through each piece of the appeals process carefully and patiently. With her help we tracked down the right doctors and the right medical evidence to make our case. It got me benefits which gave me a great sense of relief. Holly was very compassionate and very thorough. I couldn’t have done it without her.”
Assistance and Advocacy for Complex Matters
“Prior to contacting Trief & O’Brien, I had several disabling conditions. I did not know the difference between SSDI nor SSI. From my first appointment, Attorney Trief was able to explain my options in plain language and make it clear what evidence I needed to provide. She spoke to my doctors and did all the paperwork and correspondence for SSA on my behalf. Trief & O’Brien prevailed on my first application. If you are feeling overwhelmed, you have found the right law office. Holly and her staff care about everyone they work with.”
Turning Upset into Peace of Mind
“After two denials and months of confusion, I called YOUR DISABILITY ATTORNEY. Holly Trief listened to all of my complaints and patiently prepared a comprehensive appeal. She knew exactly which records from my file were missing and worked with my doctors to acquire the ones that we needed. Holly kept me informed of every detail of the process and never made me feel like a number. It was an incredible feeling when I finally received SSI benefits and it was all thanks to Holly and her staff. I can not begin to tell you how much I appreciate everything she has done!” – Kevin S., Berkeley, CA
Clients Comforted in Difficult Times
“My adult son has a developmental disability, and the process of applying for SSI was an overwhelming experience. Attorney Trief was a zealous advocate who explained each step of the process, answered all our questions, and handled everything personally for us. Approval followed more quickly than I anticipated and the financial support that followed has improved our quality of life immeasurably. Holly treats her clients with respect and dignity – I give her my highest recommendation.”
– Linda W., San Mateo, CA
Trief & Lubitz and our attorneys led the Medicaid reform in New York. Shortly after the developmentally disabled population had transitioned into managed care (also known as the promises of a better care), our current client filed for Medi-cal benefits in California. Zelma Sussman Trief and our firm attorneys opposed this reform initiative by the Department of Health throughout the process. California expectations are much greater; they want figures to go up not down.
How to Appeal a Denial with Confidence
“Since I’d already been denied SSDI benefits 2x, I thought I was up against the wall. A friend recommended YOUR DISABILITY ATTORNEY. From my first call, Holly Trief informed me that there was still hope. She analyzed my case, discovered areas lacking documentation, and helped me get the needed evidence to win on appeal. Her expertise in this system is fantastic. When my benefits were finally approved, I was sure that it wouldn’t have happened without Holly. Holly is truly a professional and a compassionate person.”
Personalized Approach that Helps
“Here’s what impressed me the most. Attorney Trief never treated me like a number. She listened to my story, learned about my medical issues, and explained the process in a way that I could understand. She was available to answer my questions – virtually any time of day – either via phone or email and made handling a very complex system feel simple. I would urge anyone needing help with disability claims to contact YOUR DISABILITY ATTORNEY.”
