Binder And Binder - Binder & Binder Wasted 2 Years of Our Lives
My fiance used them for his disability claim, beginning in June 2015. They mailed him forms to complete constantly; we basically did ALL the work.
We had to mail, fax, call, etc. all his doctors/hospitals, get all his test records, etc. ourselves. They asked for the same things/info constantly, so we had to remind them we already sent them.
Very unorganized, apparently. They'd ask for updates every few months, so we had to do all the same paperwork and medical record retrieval over and over again, for 2 years! Their communication was horrible! We had to call them constantly for updates (which there never were any.) They kept saying his case would be done soon, then it would be longer and longer and longer.
At his hearing, a different attorney showed up in place of his regular one, and she was very passive. She was due to have a baby any time, and seemed more interested in talking about that, instead of representing my fiance and defending his disability claims. She told my fiance she didn't need all his medical records, scans, xrays, etc. that he brought with him.
When they went before the judge, she did not fight for my fiance at all; she just sat there passively, hardly saying much; she never defended him or presented all his health issues. SHE DID NOT FIGHT FOR HIM, as at attorney should. Needless to say, he was denied (this was May/June 2017). He has a traumatic brain injury, epileptic seizures, diabetes, fibromyalgia, bipolar depression, severe anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, several herniated & bulging discs, arthritis, and degeneration in his spine, severe bone spurs on his neck and spine, sciatica, he needs knee replacements, and more, but they expect him to find a job?!?
What employer is going to hire someone with all those health issues? He's too much of a liability. And what job could he do proficiently? Don't waste your time with Binder and Binder.
They are completely useless. Had we gone with a different firm, he probably would have been approved for disability benefits long ago.
It's unfortunate we have to start all over again, but thank God we found a good firm now. Steer clear of this company, unless you enjoy doing all THE work, acting as an attorney and paralegal, and wasting your time!
Reason of review: Did not do their job effectively; very passive..
Binder And Binder Cons: Useless, Passive, Poor customer service, Not knowledgeable, Poor communication.

THEY ARE NOT LAWYERS WHY DO YOU PEOPLE NOT READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE USING THEM ??? They are GLORIFIED TELEMARKETING WHO READ FROM A MANUSCRIPT !!
They do not EVER SEND ATTORNEYS to your hearing !! They send REPRESENTATIVES !! Yes I was awarded my disability through BINDER AND BINDER !!! I had an awesome representation person who spoke with me in a separate room before seeing the judge ...
To many if not ALL think allllll these people are Lawyers .. Read and gather reviews before signing anything !!! I chose them knowing they weren't lawyers ... Knowing that I didn't have to constantly go to an office is why I chose them...
They were 1000s of miles away from me !!! I saw a Dr every month and that definitely helped me get my disability but it cost my family 250 a month because I couldn't work !!! If you try to get awarded disability but still work...
FORGET IT. !!!
Please let me know what attorney helped your fiance.. i am going through same thing.. and need legal asdistance
I Think I had the same attorney, she was ready to give birth any day. Hardly said anything, if I was off my meds God only knows what I might of done.
The client is supposed to be quiet, not speak during hearing. They make you do all the work and then get 25% of your settlement.
I have been fighting for almost 4 years for disability. No wonder they went bankrupt.
