Jacob Reitan was my disability lawyer. I was very pleased and encouraged from our very first meeting. He is very professional, courteous, friendly and he explains everything step by step. He is very thorough, he made sure we had everything we needed. His office staff is also very nice, very helpful and answers all of your questions. There were times I couldn't make it to his office due to my health, so we conducted appointments over the phone, which was very convenient. He was confident, positive and he was always reassuring me. We WON my case and I couldn't have done it without Jacob's expertise! Believe me, I tried! If you're thinking of or trying to apply for SSI/Disability, don't do it alone, hire Jacob Reitan and win your case! He is an excellent lawyer and I highly recommend him and his office! Thank you so much Jacob!! You have changed my life!

What I liked about Jacob was the briefing for my appeal hearing was detailed and had numourus Doctor notes. I also like the fact that he is very thorough when it comes to finding facts to prove why I should receive Ssdi. I did lose my case, yet I am confident that Jacob did his very best. I like that he wholeheartedly was supporting me all the way. I trust that he will do all he can to prove my case to the Appeal Council, in hope that they see something in my favor. The only thing I do not like is I am unable to understand reasons for denial. Jacob is patient when he explains things to me the best he can. He explained several things over and over again and has willing hands to do so. I'm sure not many lawyers would stand up for me the way Jacob does. Kudos.
