It was the easiest
thing I've ever had to do. The lawyers made sure the doctor’s
paperwork was in order the first time up. Never had to go to a
hearing or any complications. It was easy.
R.Y., San Antonio
The overall
experience was positive, the fee was exactly as stated, and the
final outcome was favorable to me. Thank you very much.
R.Y., San Antonio
I was treated well
& not discounted because my case was different - an incomplete
spinal cord injury with chronic pain - the fact that I was "young"
to have the problem I did.
I was very frustrated with the "system" when I applied for
disability. I called Heard & Smith, getting an immediate
appointment. The people were all very friendly. After being accepted
as a client, I felt a tremendous relief from my attorney, who was a
huge help when dealing with all the frustration. He eased my
nervousness at my hearing with assurances & honesty. I honestly
think that I wouldn't have won my case without Heard & Smith.
E.K., Rockport
Having worked in
the medical field for 30+ years and having seen much of the red tape
involved within the government's medical system, I was apprehensive
about my possibility for SSI. Both the Professionalism and knowledge
exhibited by the staff of Heard & Smith allayed all my fears and let
me pursue my benefits confidently.
F.M., San Antonio
They all were
professional at all times. I felt comfortable at all times.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE! My experience with the law firm of Heard &
Smith was completely positive. I'm very satisfied with the results
of my case and I would highly recommend this firm to my family and
friends!
L.R., San Antonio
The thing I was
impressed about was that Mr. Heard came out and met his clients
personally. To me this is the "extra mile"
R.S., San Antonio
The entire staff
from receptionist, to paralegal to attorney were all friendly,
courteous and made me feel welcome and at ease!
B.M., San Antonio
I felt like I was
treated with respect. At Heard & Smith You are heard and not just
another Smith in the room.
I.P., San Antonio
That my atty Mr.
Pena & his staff were very concerned about me as a person, not as a
number as some lawyers do. All I can say is that Mr. Pena and his
staff took time with me - they didn't rush me in any way - due to my
illness they were very concerned and very unstanding which made me
to be able to open up and not be afraid to speak. They handled my
case with a lot of caring and understanding.
N.O., San Antonio
I didn't have to
wait at all for my benefits to begin. They couldn't have done a
better job! Dealing with Mr. Heard and associates, I didn't worry at
all. They made me feel comfortable and at ease about my case. Unlike
other stories I am hearing from other people I have met. I never had
to wait for my case to go through. I worried before dealing with Mr.
Heard, but I felt at ease after visiting his office.
A.M., Raymondville
Results were
positive & swift. I was tired of the run around by Social Security
system. I had been denied disability 5 years before. I had further
surgery due to same injury applied for SS Disability again & was
denied for second time. Then I contacted John Heard’s office & got
an appointment. They took my case and within 6 weeks my claim was
approved by S.S.
A.T., San Antonio
When I visited our
local SS office on my own I found myself overwhelmed when trying to
answer their questions and fill out their forms. I saw your ad on TV
and made a call to your office. It was one of the better decisions
I've made. It took years to resolve, but your office made the
process less painful.
T.O., Weslaco
I will say that Mr.
John R. Heard will shoot you straight if he thinks you can work he's
going to tell you and pull no punches. And not waste the SS or his
time.
E.A., New
Braunfels
I was treated with
respect, concern, in a very professional manner. Whatever the
outcome of my case, I know that everything that could be done was
covered. Not only as a client given the best legal assistance, they
will be treated with kindness, concern, and respect! The human
element, with regard to their clients, is what allows Heard & Smith
to outshine other firms. That is what lets a client know they will
receive the best legal service around.
S.R., Seguin
I personally got
positive results as soon as I hired Heard & Smith. Mr. Heard was my
lawyer, as soon as he obtained all the necessary paperwork, I got my
results "fast" from social security within 2 months I had my money
in my hands, thanks to Mr. Heard. I would definitely refer Heard &
Smith to people trying to get what they deserve.
I.S., Kingsville
With the help of
Smith & Heard you can win your case and maybe shorten the time it
takes SS to make a decision.
E.P., San Antonio
They handled my
case with real respect. I never felt just like a number. Social
Security denied my claim and made me feel like I was trying to fraud
the government. Heard & Smith treated my case like it was a million
dollar suit. When in fact they made very little on it. I could never
express how much our family appreciates Heard & Smith.
D.M., San Antonio
John Heard told me
at our first meeting together that he could win my case for me…and
he did! Thank you Mr. Heard and all your staff for your hard work. I
am sure I would not be receiving my disability benefits and Medicare
benefits had I not contacted you. Thanks again.
A.M., Falfurrias
Ever since the
initial consultation, all the staff and personnel was kind,
courteous and understanding. I was treated like family at Heard &
Smith LLP, Corpus Christi, TX. Yes, I like to make statements as
described above, because you, your staff and personnel are very
courteous, kind, respectful, and truthful and if you can't go
through all the way like in such a case like mine because I moved
out of state, you still recommended other good attorneys, like in
such case as mine. Thank you.
L.S., San Antonio
They were always
able to answer my questions. When I went to Heard & Smith it took
very little time to get my disability. Some people wait 1 & 2 years
even longer. I only waited a short time, because Heard & Smith
stayed on top of my case, even without me asking them. Very, very
professional. I would recommend Heard & Smith to relatives &
friends.
T.R., San Antonio
Attorney Heard gave
me hope after what the doctor said was a simple surgery turned into
a near death experience and has robbed me of my ability to work and
at times just barely be able to have one day without pain,
depression etc. But when Atty. Heard came and spoke to me after
seeing pictures of my destroyed face & body I knew that God had sent
an Angel to plead my case! Thank God for you Attorney Heard and your
staff.
S.T., San Antonio
Mr. Heard did what
he said he would do. Sending what info he needed to the office of
hearing and appeals. Then calling me at home and letting me know.
Also sending letter in Aug. 2002 releasing fees to me. Again,
thanks. They did what they said, and when they said they would.
J.S., Corpus
Christi
Every aspect of my
dealing with your office was excellent in every way. My sister
became disabled after being represented by you she called and after
3 months she received her soc sec disability. Thanks. You & your
personnel do what you say, no if's butt's or and's. You are
straightforward and honest. Yes I have and will again recommend you
office and services to any I know in need of such services.
R.M., Corpus
Christi
Everyone was
conscientious and caring about our situation; willing to help and
gave us best representation to the best of their ability. Our case
was won due to these facts.
E.M., Mission
They were all very
respectful & they understood me when it came to dealing with my
case. If I ever need another attorney, I will definitely come back
to your company because everyone was very kind & they did an
excellent job at handling my case.
R.L., San Antonio
They were willing
to listen I would recommend all my friends and family. Great staff,
did a wonderful job for me and my family. They treated me like
family.
O.S., San Antonio
I feel they are
genuinely concerned and care about my case. To me they have been
very helpful. I hope that my case is going to be settled soon and I
hope that we have a good result I know that they are doing
everything possible to get me approved! If I were in a commercial or
other advertisement I would say how this law firm has made me feel
confident in getting my s.s. and that they made me feel like they
really do care. I would definitely refer people to this law firm.
M.V., San Antonio
Heard & Smith and
their staff made me feel that I was their client and not just a
number in a file, or how much they would gain if wining my case.
They listened to what my problems were, and handled it with a
respectful, caring manner, and was able to settle my case in a very
short time, with wonderful results!
A.R., Corpus
Christi
When I emailed my
case he called me right away with an appointment. I don't feel right
being on TV because of my illness, but I feel you all do a great job
helping people like me. Thank you.
R.T., Seguin
Everything, all
other lawyers did not want to help. Heard & Smith did help and with
excellent results. I am very pleased and can get on with my life
now. All I can say is if you've been wrongfully denied Heard & Smith
are the ones to call. They know how to deal with wrongful denials
and they get positive results. During the 5 years that I was waiting
my life was miserable worrying about how I would survive. Heard &
Smith removed all that, and helped me to get my life back.
T.M., San Antonio
The staff was
friendly and I never felt alone. They had me notified and up to
date. Heard and Smith kept me up to date and in control of what I
needed.
C.R., Weslaco
Very friendly and
assuring, helpful when I couldn't solve this on my own. You helped
me get my disability from social security when I was turned down
twice and tried on my own. I am really thankful for that. I also
have recommended your office to my relatives who need help in this
area of expertise.
B.P., Mission
Go with the
winners.
J.R., San Antonio
I had waited for
years to talk to someone about it, my illness and it got worse, I
couldn't work like I use too, and I didn't have any money, when I
went to SSI that they denied me. A friend of mine told me about
Smith & Heard gave them a call. They asked me to get all my papers
together & go to the office. And I did, I am very grateful to
everyone there at the office. Thank you.
F.K., San Antonio
Keep Maritza & Ms.
Garcia - they were very kind & respectful.
H.V., Karnes City
I would recommend
Heard & Smith to everyone who needs a lawyer for the problem.
D.M., Rockport
I liked my lawyer.
Understanding doesn't just begin with knowing the law. It begins
with knowing people had hardships.
J.M., Rockport
I enjoyed their
positive attitude and the way they made me feel important and that
they listened to me! They helped me as much as possible and they did
not make me feel like just another case. I was treated as a person
who needed help! Thank you everybody!
Y.M., San Antonio
After starting my
claim for Social Security disability, I quickly learned that I
needed an Experienced attorney who knew all the Social Security
rules, a better understanding of the processes and procedures, as
well as the criteria used to evaluate a claim, to improve the
likehood that my claim would be approved. That’s why I selected
Heard & Smith. I need the best, I got the best, my claim approved.
J.P., San Antonio
Everyone in the
office seemed to know my name whenever I called, regardless of
whoever answered the phone. That made me feel like "the whole team"
was working on my case. I was initially turned down my Social
Security when I applied for disability. I was referred to your
office and Mr. Heard and Suzanne Villalon Hinojosa. Suzanne prepared
my case and represented me at my hearing before the judge. I was
awarded disability and received Medicare several years before
reaching retirement age. I was (and am) very grateful for all your
help in getting me so much assistance when I was unable to return to
work. Thank you!
J.L., Alice
I just turned over
my case to you and didn't worry about it. I had faith that you would
do your job to the best of your abilities , which you did. I - you-
won the case & I think you for that. You also made it pain free for
me.
P.L., San Antonio
I applied for
Disability and was refused time and time again. I lost almost
everything. I went on food stamps, lost my job. I had nothing. I saw
your ad on TV, called and my case was settled in just a few months.
I did not even have to go to court. Thanks Mr. Heard, things are now
coming together for me.
R.T., Kingsville
Due to bad back
problems I was no longer able to work and forced to exist on credit
cards. With the assistance of Heard & Smith I received SS
Disability. This allowed me to payoff my credit card debt and
stabilize my life.
M.V., San Antonio
I was treated with
respect. I wasn't looked down on. They understood my disabilities.
You are treated with respect and dignity. Sometimes that's all you
have left.
F.R., San Antonio
I thought you staff
was very thorough. I did not expect for the case to be resolved so
fast. It only took about 3 months. Than you for helping me at a time
when my world felt like it was falling part. Also, when I needed
legal services that your office did not provide you gave me
referrals to other attorneys & I received excellent service & have
since referred them to friends & family, that have also been very
satisfied.
M.V., San Antonio
