Just won my first case.
Had a hearing today for a disability determination in front of the ALJ. The decision was fully favorable, with benefits being awarded back to the date of application.

This person needed help badly. I think I made a real difference in her life. :)

9. Now you're as evil a commie as John Edwards!
Helping the poor through the courts? That's un-American! Only big corps should have legal counsel!

22. too cool
I'm so proud of you! I've have been and still am somewhat in the same position as your client I KNOW how you must have helped her. I try not to bother my lawyer but had to call him today because I believe I didn't receive adequate compensation from my recent impairment rating. He didn't seem surprised by my complaint and he'll go after the right people. If I were being unreasonable he would have made that clear, and sent me barking up another tree.

25. You sure did!!
You made a big difference for that person. She can survive now.
Disability is a no man's land financially - and usually for a very long time.
Good going!
