After thorough research I chose GGL law firm to represent me in my workers compensation case. I couldn’t have had a better experience! Gerald Lutkenhaus was always available via the phone or email. He never dodged my calls, He always called back if I had any questions. His paralegal Anne is also very professional and knowledgeable. They do everything in timely manner and put client’s interests first! This team is highly professional, honest and I just can’t thank them enough for obtaining a great settlement for me! I am just so thankful to them and it was definitely the right decision to use their services for my complicated case!

Won my case for me, that pretty much says it all. Thank you very much.

A relative applied for social security disability benefits and had the claim denied. I was asked to help and began to research the social security disability application process. The statistics of denial although staggering were pretty easy to find. It seems that about 67 percent are denied initially and the figure jumps to about 87 percent for reconsiderations. Apparently your chances of success for reconsideration are even lower if you don’t appeal after the initial denial which was the case for my relative. Although I am retired while employed I valued contractors that had memberships in professional organizations specific to their trade or profession. This is the approach I used to help the relative retain a lawyer well versed in social security disability law and contacted NOSSCR – the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives and asked for the names of local members. Much to my surprise only two members worked in the Richmond metropolitan area. Gerald G. Lutkenhaus had far better reviews. From the beginning it was clear that Mr. Lutkenhaus was well versed in social security disability law, rules and procedures. I actually read an entire book on SSA disability before I joined the relative for the initial meeting with the GGL Law Firm. Everything I read was confirmed ten times over. GGL had both the knowledge and the essential experience needed for these types of cases. I must confess that my dislike for most lawyers is that they charge you for every minute you talk to them and they nickel and dime you for everything and anything they can which is definitely not the case with GGL. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Anne the paralegal at GGL. Anne too has an encyclopedic knowledge of social security disability law and procedures and is extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. So what’s the bottom line? Our relative had a hearing 9 months after the first meeting with GGL and was granted a favorable outcome. GGL beat the statistics!!!! I certainly would recommend GGL without hesitation.

Timely responses to any communication. Very thorough in explaining the process along the way

Gerald answered my forum question really fast even though he knew there would probably be no money in it for him. He was clearly knowledgeable about the subject and I would hire him in a second if needed.

I needed a workers comp lawyer for my totally incapacitated husband. I contacted Jerry. He and Rose did a great job on his case and got him a settlement for $300,000 plus lifetime medical care and a home health aide at $600per week.

If I plan to move forward with this I will definitely be going with Mr.Lutkenhaus. When he called I was out of it, still trying to get over the initial shock of my situation. He had a lot of patience with me considering I was all over the place during our conversation. He was also bluntly honest about my options and showed confidence with his answers, it was obvious he had a lot of experience dealing with worker's compensation. Situations like these, last thing I needed was sugar coating or a "everything is going to be ok" speech. He explained that I need to be proactive and know my rights. I realized by then I should have contacted him in the beginning of all this. Thank you for the professional advice.

I'm not licensed to practice law in Virginia, so when I needed to know Virginia law, I've consulted Gerald Lutkenhaus. He's experienced and knowledgeable. I'll continue to consult with him because he always knows the law or quickly gets back to me with right answers.

Really helped me with my leg injury. I had called three other lawyers and they turned me down because I didnt report my accident right away.

Jerry was very compassionate, caring, and empathetic. He acted upon my case immediately and kept me informed at all times. If I had a question, I received a call back right away with an answer. He was always there for me every step of the way, until he WON my case. His entire staff were amazing! Jerry fought hard for me and won! Jerry was never in a rush with me as most attorneys are!
