Social Security Law

I want to thank you for all your support and help in changing my life. I have been injured since 1999 and worked through four surgeries which in turn those injuries cost me my job. I have not worked since October of 2007 and my family and I had major concerns if I could even return to the workforce because of my injuries. Because of my injuries and the medications I’m on there is no chance that I could return to the workforce so I applied for Social Security in December of 2011 and was denied. I felt that it was hopeless after the denial of my disability and reached out to you and your staff. When I came in to see you and explain my situation, I felt like there was hope for me and my family again. You and your staff are kind and professional and answered all of my questions, even if they seemed silly. When you filed for an appeal to the denial of benefits, I was glad to have you and your staff in my corner. My wife and I had met with you a week before the hearing and went through what the hearing would be like so I was prepared, and you answered all our questions that we had with compassion. During the hearing you asked me questions about my injuries so the Administrative Law Judge had clear and decisive answers. I believe that the questions you asked me during the hearing swayed the decision to my favor. You had told me there was a 15-20% chance that the decision would be made during the hearing and I was shocked that they allowed my claim right then and there. You and your staff were so helpful to me and my family that we can’t thank you enough. I have no doubt in my mind that the professionalism that you and your staff have, that I would and will recommend anyone who is going through doubt and tough times to come see you. I sincerely thank you Charles!

To those who need assistance in filing for Social Security and need legal advice, please call Mr. Bean. I think he’s a very understanding and compassionate man who is willing to listen and advise with future steps dealing with the Social Security Administration. We have been fighting with the Social Security Administration for approximately eight years. Mr. Bean stepped in and helped us with a wonderful outcome. He has been a blessing in disguise. For all of those who are veterans, Mr. Bean was wonderful to work with and his assistant, Stephanie, was kind, caring and knowledgeable.

I called the law offices of Charles F. Bean when I was at the end of my rope. I’d been suffering from back pain for almost two years due to a work injury. The pain had changed my life on all levels. I had filed for disability and had been denied twice and had received a letter telling me I now needed to request a hearing with an administrative law judge. Up to this point I had found the whole filing for disability process very stressful. Feeling physically and emotionally broken already, but now that I needed to request a hearing, was a mental strain. I called Charles Bean – very professional, kind and clear on what needed to be done. With Charlie at my side through the hearing I received a favorable decision. I will be forever grateful to Charlie and his staff for all their support and I encourage anyone in a similar situation to call Charlie!
