All initial consultations are free. We evaluate your case details during this meeting to determine if we can help with accident claims, disability denials, or insurance disputes.

I almost gave up with trading when I met MRS Edna Albert through a friend who directed me to her. she is a reliable trading expert,trusted with a legit trading platform. I started my first trade with just $1000 and earned $9600 in 7 days and now amazingly, I am already trading in thousands of dollars. ma, I want to say a very big thank you for… restoring and increasing my bankroll when I was totally bankrupted by Fake experts out there. I won't get tired recommending your honesty and reliability to the public because you deserve more of this for your honest works. To my friends and acquaintance

My father in law was taken advantage of by Lexi Allan. He went to school and church with her apparently and she did his final trust while BOTH were in their 80s. The family had to hire another attorney as it was so poorly made. In addition, she charged us $150 a few days prior to his death just so we could get a copy of it. She sent us a prepaid envelope with her address on it and the return address as well. Three months later she now claims that she never got our payment. As if we don't have enough to deal with, now we have to go to their office in person next week to get this bill paid.

In 1998, these THIEVES took my case to get money from me along with so many other cases like mine and made me wait, while I was homeless, hungry, unable to work, going through an abusive 7 year custody battle… and divorce! I went OFF in their office after they got their new NOW logo on their letterhead, front lawn sign & top it all off, their NOW new commercial time that they couldn't ever afford before until after they took my money from the time spans of mine and clients by collecting lots of SSI/Social security cases! I fired them AND a 2nd local Sacramento, CA SSI lawyer only to

I have had a two year fight to receive my benefits. I brung on David Allen and associates after my second denial. The case manager Tom Amey was responsive took calls and responded to emails initially. My case was won and fees were paid. My full benefits have not been paid out and when contacting Tom or the lawyer they don't even have the time to talk to their client. I have called, no return call I sent Tom emails with no response. I gather once they receive payment you are on your own. Thats very bad business.

We were referred to David Allen and Associates by a friend who used them as representation for SSDI and they won their case. My dad applied for disability over two years ago but without representation was not getting anywhere. He made a call to David Allen and Associates and worked with Jonathan Hendricks and won his case. We are very happy with the help and guidance we received from Jonathan and his team. Thank you!
