Already using someone else. This attorney understands the meaning of communication.

Original review Dec 18, 2024

They wouldn't return calls or emails. Every single time I called them, I always got a different person. They appear to be amateurs.

FYI: Social Security allows you to change attorneys during your process.

Do not go with Binder. They are not who they used to be. The original Binder & Binder went bankrupt. Someone bought it and they are horrible!

Homeless

I Oscar Valle did not see a key to resume. But Bernardo Rodriguez, who spells, he owns Oscar's room.

His envelope talks. He receives retirement benefits. However, he is a bully. He shakes no hands.

He moves me out or pay difference for water as his gas is discontinued. Powers the building as two families took second floor and third floor. If needed, Oscar can help. He has been showing off doing room search with social security in his hands, the first day his walks opened building.

Piece of *** is who he is. He discriminates Oscar for taking time to take Oscar's rent.

He says my single story needs help since my eyes tells Bernardo I never cared. Social security this.

I read several reviews and wish to put my experience with them on the site.

I used Binder & Binder to get SSDI. My main complaint is they would shift my case from person to person and one lady was just plain rude.

I spoke with a supervisor and said: "Either you handle my case yourself or give me only one representative, period". He was professional and the rest of my time with them, I had only one caseworker. I did not have to go to court, they either went for me or mailed the documentation to a judge. I received a document with the judge's findings, and he granted my disability.

I would not use Binder & Binder again only due to being shifted to different caseworkers. I would use a local attorney.

Help with claiming disability

The

va has denied my hearing loss claim for disability after giving me hearing aids for loss of hearing. i was an aircraft mechanic.

for 31/2 years on a B47 which had 6 J47 turbo jet engines on it.

and at the time i was in the service we did not have the type of hearing protection that is used today. i have been hard of hearing every since i was discharged in 1964.

Screwed me out of my disability.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I signed up with Binder and Binder in 2007, everything at first seemed smooth. Then they kept passing me off to suffer lawyers, and Everytime that happened you have to fill out all the same paperwork over and over again.

I asked why they don't keep my information and forward it to all the lawyer's they keep passing you to.

Months and months and months went by, a bunch of lawyers passed by me.

I finally got a court date, and Binder and Binder quit me.

I couldn't believe it, I tried getting another lawyer, but they didn't have enough time to prepare for me in court. I was so scared, I didn't go to court. I didn't know what to do. I had know paperwork, no mouthpiece, I had a matter of 2 weeks.

I finally went to a legitimate lawyer, only to find out that was my one and only chance to go to court. My work credits ran out in 2008, didn't know what they were, but it means no disability for a woman who was told she will never work again, had several surgeries and a Neuropace put in her brain. I can't drive anymore, I have several underlying issues. My Doctors cannot believe I am not on Disability.

They are all behind me, willing to sign any and documents needed. Binder and Binder took that all from me. Now I am screwed, and I worked hard, very hard for years.

I deserved something, more than what I received. Please be careful, find a local Social Security Lawyer, do not use Binder and Binder.

Extremely Loysy Experience

I called Binder &;;; Binder to handle my disability appeal. Started with a representative from New York, then was transferred to the Southern California office.

All my representatives spoke English as a 2nd language. They didn't understand me nor I them. Kept getting new representatives but not once did I talk to a lawyer. They took forever sending my forms to Social Security, waiting 'til the very last moment.

Frustrating as *** Finally, at my hearing before an administrative law judge, I got to see a lawyer . . . from the Bay Area.

Even he hadn't been notified by Binder & Binder that my case had already been decided in my favor before the hearing date. Well, Binder & Binder got their 25% 3 weeks before I saw a dime.

Once again, they took their sweet time. DO NOT HIRE THEM FOR ANYTHING, EVEN A DOG BITE!

Run. Run like a theif in the night.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Even after the judge told them I won my case on my own appeal, and they are not entitled to one cent. Binder still got over $12,000.00.

CROOKS I tell you. I am looking for a lawsuit against them.

Like a idiot I hired these clowns.I did all the work they need money to get doctor records,I did it all my self.When it came down do getting doc records,they were paper,and my doc at that time said they were in the basement and could not find them.I threaten them with AMA ,what you no they found them the very next day.I call B&B and they said they didn't need them.They also said they would file 3 years back so I could get Paid.What a dam lie.I received SSI partial disability. I was sent a review 3 years late in paper by SSI and I told them B&B sucked and so did the judge for that BS hearing.I also told them if they screw with my SSI I will get a real lawyer NOT a Advocate like B&B.I was screwed out of 3 years of back pay.I need a lawyer to sue to get on medicare and sue for fully disabled.My doctor left Medicaid and now I have to pay this Quack 60 dollars for 2 minutes and he owns his own building and sucks as a doctor.Family run money making machine.Hippocratic Oath my *** Corporate greed,lets bring them to there knees.I hate Corporate greed.

I had a great advocate . He flew in from NY to WVA and my hearing was very professional with a professional judge and a stenographer ,, plus 2 people who work for disability .

My only complaint and it was Disability not Binder and Binder was the wait on whether I was approved . It took about 2.5 months and I received a letter from THAT I HAD INDEED BEEN APPROVED. I wish my advocate would have called as the waiting to find out would have been shorter by a few weeks . You seem to be upset at Binder and Binder when the Judge ultimately is the one who looks through your medical history and makes the decision ...

You evidently only met partial with your medical records ? I also did not have to go out of my way for medical records .. Once again my problem with that was my Dr office taking forever to send my records to Binder and Binder... They actually sent my Dr a threatening letter about releasing them and they finally sent them !!

I feel Binder and Binder did right by me .. I have agoraphobia so hiring a local lawyer where I would be expected to go in multiple times was out of the question and for BINDER AND Binder to fly in a representative was comforting !! They received 6000.00 the exact amount in my agreement and my backpay came quickly !! Also no matter what attorney you use you automatically lose 3 months of back pay as instructed by SSA .

That has nothing to do with who represents you.

Perhaps you didn't fully understand and perhaps you should have known they are REPRESENTATIVES and the only real lawyers there were the BINDERS !!! It's very clear if you read everything !!

Binder & Binder did everything for me and guided me through this process. I had to go to a doctor to certify my disability and it took 1 and 1/2 years but they came through with flying colors and now I am getting my monthly checks.Thank you binder & binder!
