Social Security Disability & Wrongful Death
I lost my husband in a tragic accident. Along with this came the pressure of dealing with the claims on social security disability, which was an uphill task. The Law Office of Joseph Pluta offered legal understanding and genuine concern. They took care of everything with professionalism: I was taken through every step of the process, and I was very comfortable. Their efforts bore fruit, giving me some solace in that difficult period. I can't recommend them enough for friends or family in these complex situations.
