This firm is THE best for Social Security! Don really puts his all into what he does! He will fight for you! I was nervous in the beginning because of so many people not believing in me, but it worked out wonderfully! I was surprised at what seemed like a quick turnaround. If you need a great SS disability attorney, DO NOT hesitate to contact Crowe & Shanahan! They will help you all they can if they can for sure! I can't say enough wonderful things. I'm truly grateful and thankful to Don Derse! He helped me when I thought everyone else didn't believe in me; he did! #1 Law Firm. And I can't forget Kari and Dawn. They were there all the way as well, email and phone also. Never left me out!

Each person who helped me, along with MrCrowe, showed me the utmost respect and quickly resolved my case. In a world where having a disability can be so isolating and painful, these people see you, the whole person. Thankyou for taking your jobs so seriously and protecting us. You restored my faith in human nature.

I was very satisfied with my lawyer and his assistant. He was very detailed on the phone taking the time to explain how he thought the case would go. His assistant was very good with taking care of the details and response time anytime I had a question. I was amazed it took less than eight months to get my claim approved and without seeing a judge. Thank you team Staley!

I am very pleased with the handling of my disability case I received from Crowe & Shanahan. Although my doctor said he was 100% for me to receive benefits, he provided very contradictory information about my medical condition to the SSA. This was causing a continued denial of benefits to me, of which it was clear from the start I was deserving. I was getting frantic! However, my attorney, Mr Don Derse, and his team dug into the medical records my doctor had been sending and discovered that in some places my medical records indicated I was nearly an ?Olympic athlete,? while in other places my real disability and limitations were spelled out. My sincere thanks to Mr Derse and his team at Crowe & Shanahan! Were it not for you, who knows? I could be living on the streets right now, unable to obtain the proper medical treatment of which I am in need. I highly recommend Crowe & Shanahan to anyone in need of counsel for a disability claim, and I will remain eternally grateful to Mr Derse and this law firm.

I was impressed with their attention to detail and how easy they were to work with even in the midst of a pandemic. I did not have to leave my house and they handled everything either by phone,email, or sent me correspondence by mail. They personally helped me throughout the entire experience and answered any questions I had promptly. I would recommend them to anyone.

I had a great experience with Crowe & Shanahan and recommend them highly. They were professional, kind, prompt. Everyone I worked with was patient with my questions and explained things well. They guided me through the process and managed expectations. They did win my case. But even if they hadn't I would recommend them. Applying for disability is hard and frustrating and discouraging. If you or family or friends find yourself in need of legal support, seek out Crowe & Shanahan. I worked with Don Derse and his team but imagine the caliber of everyone at Crowe & Shanahan to be very high.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
