In the case Williams v Astrue the Northern District of Indiana reversed the administrative law judges hearing where the plaintiff had morbid obesity as a severe impairment and the district court considered the other impairments that the claimant had.  The claimant also suffered from a combination of bilateral knee impairments.  The court essentially said you have to take a combination of impairments as a whole in order to assess disability determination.

What's Being Said...

  • I want to express our sincere thanks to you for being an outstanding attorney and for representing us for the duration of our 5 year chapter 13 payment plan. We very much appreciated having you stand by us for such a long period and being there for us in our times of need. We were blessed to have the privilege of being acquainted with your law firm.
    -Chapter 13 clients Philip & Connie
  • I wanted to thank you for your very professional help. You made the process much less emotionally painful for both me and my husband. The bankruptcy was certainly the best option for us. We have come out the other side with a release of all the stress we were feeling. We are also getting back on our feet financially.
    - Dawn
  • I am thankful and appreciate your professionalism and kindness through all our meetings. You took a horrible situation for me and made it a manageable one. I will always remember both you and your staff for all the help you extended to me.
    - Chapter 7 client, Sharon S.
  • A million thanks for everything. It must feel good to know how much you are helping people!
    - Claudia
  • Thank you for all your help with my financial situation. I am starting to finally feel some relief. I would highly recommend you to any future clients.
    - Lynn
  • We want to give you our heartfelt thanks for the good job you did for [our daughter]. We won not just because the facts were on our side-but mostly because the Judge appreciates that you are a perfect gentleman (not a heavy hitter).
    - Joan and Jim
  • Ms. Smith completed her client satisfaction questionnaire. She was very happy with your service and her interaction with your staff. I wanted to pass this along to remind you how much we, and the people you help, appreciate you and your office. Thank you.
    - A letter from the Legal Aid Society
  • Please accept my note to say thank you for saving my property, I appreciate everything your office has done for me.
    – Chapter 13 client, John B.
  • Thank you for all of your words and understanding during my emotional tears throughout the roller coaster ride that wasn't letting me off. It was because of your hard work and dedication to my case that has finally stopped the roller coaster and has allowed me a fresh start. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
    – Mike and Deb
