Magruder law group helped me get my SSDI. I am a 100% disabled veteran, but still kept getting denied by SSA. Mr. Magruder was able to help me put my symptoms into the right words that allowed the judge to fully understand my disability. I was treated with respect by the entire staff and his office accomodated my PTSD by bringing me in when there was no one else there. If you need an SSDI lawyer, no matter who you are, I recommend Mr. Magruder.
My experience with Magruder Disability Law Group was truly amazing. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, compassionate, and supportive. When I went to my appointment, Mr. Andy Magruder took the time to go through everything thoroughly. He asked all the right questions and was very honest with me about my case. He explained the possibilities clearly and never gave false hope, which I truly appreciated. He was excellent at obtaining my medical records and keeping everything organized, making the entire process smooth and stress free. Throughout the waiting period, the office stayed in contact and kept me informed. The front desk staff is absolutely wonderful. Lindsay is amazing, and everyone in the office is professional, kind, and welcoming.
Andy and his staff was so supportive and attentive to all my questions and concerns. When it came time for my hearing he was very knowledgeable of all my health issues and made me at ease through the whole process. I can't thank them, all enough for everything they did to get me approved for my disability. Huge thank you to Mary Jean and Lindsey for being so sweet and all your hard work. I highly recommend Andy and his team. ❤️
