Bartels Law Firm

After recommendations by friends regarding Anthony Bartels, I went to Bartels Law Firm to appeal my denied Social Security Benefits. I met with these people one time during the initial appointment to review my case. No one has met with me or called me since that initial visit, other than through a failed hearing before a law judge. All other communication has been through the mail. I have never laid eyes on Mr. Anthony Bartels. In calling into the office, they are only familiar with you through your file number. The receptionist and office staff is not friendly and courteous. After the second denial, Mike Sherman was assigned to appear at my hearing before a law judge. This was the first time I had ever seen him or spoken with him. He was not familiar with my case and spent the entire time thumbing through my paperwork. He never spoke up in defense of my case. After two years, we're now in process of filing the case before a review board. From my earlier experiences, I am not optimistic towards a favorable outcome. If you want a law firm who cares about its clients, becomes acquainted and familiar with the case, and really works hards towards obtaining your benefits, I would suggest that you look elsewhere. more

Mike Sherman is a joke. I used this law firm to file for my denied Social Security Disability benefits. After two years, I've never met Mr. Anthony Bartels, and when I went to my disability hearing before a law judge, Mike Sherman, who I had only just met, was unfamiliar with my case, spent the entire time thumbing through papers, and never spoke up in my defense. Needless to say, my appeal hearing was denied. The clients are no more than a file number. The staff is not friendly or courteous. If looking for a good Social Security Disability lawyer, my opinion is that you would do better by choosing a different firm. more
