A year ago McDermott Law came at the recommendation of my wife’s disability lawyer and I am ever thankful he did. The team, from start to finish, made me feel like they had my best interest at heart. Their inclusive nature kept me informed while their diligence left me hopeful. When I first spoke with Shawn McDermott, he didn’t sugar coat my situation. He thoroughly explained the process and what we were up against. They did their homework well and when documents were submitted, I could really see the work that was put into my case. Because my results ended on a positive note, I know that I am probably biased but I truly believe their efforts changed the direction my life was heading. I couldn’t be more thankful.
