I am extremely dissatisfied with my representation by Ober Pekas. My claim was denied at the hearing level. Like many others who have been represented, My lawyer has decided to no longer represent me. They have taken over a month to make me aware of their decision although I have been in contact from the day my case was denied. I now have no time to attempt to find other representation and have to scramble to try and appeal myself. My lawyer and their team did not do an adequate job of representing me in my hearing and was very unprepared. I did not get to meet with my lawyer until the day of the hearing. I highly suggest finding a different firm to help you. They did not even review information of my denial with me. It seems that if they do not easily get money from your case they won’t bother with it.

I am thankful I found Ober Pekas Ronstadt to help me with my private long term disability (LTD) claim. Erin, Kevin and team took the time to understand my unique case and gave great advice and direction throughout the process. They were very personable and genuinely cared about my situation. They took the pressure off - and were very honest about making sure my needs were met. I would highly recommend this attorney team to anyone.

Thank you!

Unless you want to meet your attorney for the first time, 20 minutes before your hearing, or be told via phone conversation, rather than a letter in the mail, once you're already in your 60 day time frame to appeal to be slapped with a letter informing you that they will not see it through the appeal process with you. The judge won't mail you the decision in a timely fashion, so don't assume that once they decide to drop you, that they'll respect your time frame either.
I do however owe either Veronica or Vanessa an apology, you see, when I told Mr ober that one of them kept hanging up on me, I got the name wrong. He made sure I understood that, and for potentially getting the wrong person reprimanded, I'm sorry; however that was all I knew from the little correspondence i had (that usually resulted in leaving voicemail) was that I knew it was a woman who's name started with a V. That's how familiar we were with each other after close to 2 year's of wasting my time.

This is the best lawyer I've ever had they took my case . No money down I was on my third appeal. I got approved 6 months after I hired them.

Not only that they're allowed to take $6000 out of the settlement no more but they sent me back $4,000 out of that $6000 so I only had to pay them $2000 excellent.

I recommend this lawyer it will change your life.

****This is in no way an attempt to reach out to or contact any person affiliated with the law practices of Ober, Pekas and Ronstadt. As I would prefer to never hear of them again, until the signature is being signed on the settlement check I'm going to recieve, all thanks to my diligent recording and video taping of the entire illegal process.

If you want to be schwindled, the best way to do it is, to hire the biggest schwindlers out there... Just look into how the firm Ober & Caldwell Disolved. The real reason. You'll see how the term betrayal became known. I just want the potential marks of this practice, to please hire a firm that thinks of you as a person, not as a possible check. They took 39 months of my life, filled them with guaranteed time frames, and guarantee of being approved. Than after being denied, instead of calling, texting, emailing, sending a letter, sending me a DM on facebook, Instagram, twitter, Snapchat, no smoke signal they thought it's better to send me a notice of harassment order of protection because they saw my comment about them not reaching out to me to notify me, after forgetting to file my claim for nearly 8 Months to begin with. These people will eat your soul if it got them a. $20 bill it's truly disgusting, appalling, inhumane, evil, inconsiderate, soulless, heartless, careless, selfish, disturbing, lying, heartbreaking to know that there are people okay with destroying a family to possibly get a few thousand.. Maybe less TV commercials and more helpful deeds.

Update 11-6-18... Violating the rules of the harrassment Injunction / method chose to notify me of being denied for disability, and they are no longer representing me, which I wouldn't hire a schwindler if they were the absolute last option on a murder charge, I would hire my cat 1st. So in violating the terms of the injunction, and contacting me by mail, the injunction becomes null and void, I know this law, ho do they not? These are attorneys you want to hire? I know law better than them.. Sad.

We want to thank Erin and her wonderful law team, for helping us through a difficult time in our lives. They were not only compassionate, but extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Erin Ronstadt is a tremendous attorney, as well as a great person.

I had my initial conversation with Linda today and I was beyond impressed. Speaking with her was like talking to an old friend and any anxiety I had about begining what I know can be a long and difficult process was eleviated. I can't wait to meet her in person. She represents the firm very well and is a professional. My intention was to interview a few firms before I made my decision. Linda was the first person I spoke with and I have made my decision that this is the firm for me.

I will not be recommending anyone to this law firm. Only spoke with Mr. Pekas once, and that was at the hearing. When I would call I just got to speak with an assistant never the lawyer. Awful to work with.

It's been 2 months since they said they would get to me personally and still has yet to happen. Rest my case on the recommendation.

Less than a star. Rebecca was a lame representative. Didn't say anything about the drunk doctor on case. These lawyer's stole all my monies and pocketed from state. By doing saying nothing. I have recording! They didn't know that I was recording. Rebecca made me lose my back pay! Caldwell was involved then. As for you Over I have not received a call. Liars!

I called Ober, Pekas and Ronstadt's law office last week in desperate need of finding an attorney who could file my civil action federal appeal with only 30 days to do so. Although, their office was unable to take my case, Joanna, went the extra mile and referred me to another attorneys office and provided their number. I am extremely pleased, at this time, because the attorney they referred me to was able to take my case to give me one last chance to be approved. Joanna, I sincerely am grateful for the referral and your polite demeanor. Have a great day.

Unfortunately life happens and sometimes we need to hire an attorney. I feel so lucky to have been directed towards Ober Pekas & Ronstadt. Erin and her staff have made an uncomfortable situation more tolerable. The entire staff has worked hard on our behalf and made us feel included and heard along the way. They have treated us as people, not just as a means to an end.
If you are in need of a team of lawyers that will treat you with the respect and kindness you deserve during your trying times, Ober Pekas & Ronstadt is who I would recommend that you call.

Everyone at Ober Pekas Ronstadt who worked on my case was very kind and helpful. The process was clearly explained to me and communications were prompt resulting in a speedy settlement. As I was completely clueless going into this disability process I am so glad I was referred to this office. I would not have wanted to tackle this alone.

For people new to this process my recommendation is to not enter with a sense of entitlement. Be patient and be grateful for the people who are trying to help you. Your journey will be much easier this way.

I was less than impressed by this law firm. I was referred by another attorney that is a family friend. He assured me that I would be in good hands. After I initially called and left a message with detailed information regarding my situation, I eventually received a call back and was told Brittany Harris would be the one following up with me. I waited for two days without any additional contact. I called back and left a voice message for Brittany. After another day went by with no response I called again, leaving a message for their intake team. Brittany called me back that day and I gave her the details of my case. She said she'd send me an email right away with information as to the documents they would need me to send back to them. I prepared all my documents so that I would have everything ready to attach to her email and send back. I waited several hours without receiving an email. I called back that afternoon and finally got her on the phone. She said she'd been in meetings all day and didn't realize I was waiting for her email. She finally sent me and email, which indicated the documents they would need and she would review with Erin. I immediately responded with all documents attached. This was last Thursday, and as of today, several days later, I've still not gotten a response. I told her I needed to know immediately if they would take my case, as I needed to respond to LTD appeal by May 28th. Still nothing. Now I'm out of time. If I could give this law firm negative stars I would.

I am so grateful for Erin and the entire Ober Pekas Ronstadt firm! Erin and her team are warm friendly and took the time to get to know me and my case. Erin is passionate about her work, honest and informative; she made sure I understood the process of appealing my case and the reality of how long it could potentially take. Erin and her team made sure to keep me up to date on where my case was at all times. There is no way I can say thank you enough to Erin and her team at Ober Pekas Ronstadt!!

If you have a criminal background they won’t help you with disability. Most people commit crimes for money because they are denied help by our elected officials. What’s does one’s disability have to do with their pass? Idk just FYI before you answer a thousand questions

Took me 7 calls to differant law firms to find out that if you are already on disability they refuse to help you.
I've also learned they only help the people that need help getting on social security disability so they can take most of the check you get from social security after winning your case.

This Law firm was extremely helpful in getting my husbands disability, after we tried ourselves an were denied, appeal then denied. They won our case and helped even after the case was won to get the benefits he was entitled to. Thank you Irene and all the staff.

I called today for help with my nonverbal twins that have severe autism. They said they can't help us without having 6 months of ongoing treatment. I asked what ongoing treatment would consist of and the lady on the phone did not answer my question. She just said we cannot help you and hung up the phone. So creepy.

I will continue to work with this firm in the future if needed.

Erin and her team were the shining light in this otherwise extremely long and difficult experience. They took the time to get to know me and my case and made sure I was well informed of the details and timelines. They understand this process and how difficult it can be for us to experience it while trying to also navigate all the medical problems that come with it. I can’t speak highly enough of them and am so grateful they were helping me throughout this process.

Would have preferred a zero star rating. This office has proved to be very neglectful and incompetent. After months of being ignored and given a complete run around by Jessica, I decided to contact the main number, my call was directed to Mitch (supervisor to claim managers) Mitch was very condecending to me and spoke to me with a raised voice. Now I understand why my case manager was so neglectful with my case, the supervisor is unprofessional why would case managers be any different. My phone call ended with me firing the law firm and a very necessary letter written to AZ state bar association. I would never refer this law firm to anyone and I'm very sorry to have wasted the last several months waiting for anyone to do their job.

Never been to the office all business was taken care over the phone or mail, But they did what they say they would do! But at the end they still sent me a bill after there issue was given to them ! Didn't understand that one bc I was told there would be no money directly out my pocket! Don't know who was my lawyer directly never met one until the hearing ! And to me that was very unusual! But thank you law office for doing what you was contracted to do.

Like others they lost my case at the hearing level because they are not prepared and show no interest in case until just before you see judge. Than they scramble and put forth no evidence to support my case and only thing turned in was after my hearing. They than dropped me via mail over month after my deniel and did not contact me to let me know. Now after three years in system my appeal is comprised and I lost my case. They do not care about people they do not give truthful representation and they don't forget ight for you. They have wasted three years of my life and tens of thousands of dollars when I meet many and most all aspects of being disabled. icould have gone anywhere and won my case. I highly do not recommend this firm they told me they were confident in my case when they did little or no work in order to win. And I'm disgusted on how they leave clients out to dry after they drop the ball they hide lie and drop you it's appalling to have this kind of representation.

I highly recommend OPR to handle your disability claim. Mr. Ober took my case when several other firms would not. The staff is professional and informative about every step of the disability process. The staff also treated me with respect and compassion. It was really nice to be treated like a person and not a number. The disability process is overly complicated, while OPR makes the entire process very easy for the average person. They have answered all of my many questions and emails throughout this entire journey. Thank you Mr. Ober, Mr. Scrivner, Mitch, and Irene for making a bad situation good

I applied to social security and was denied on my own. I was lost and confused and frustrated, until I signed my contract with them. The entire staff has been great since the first call. They literally took care of everything. Mitch is amazing. He answered all my calls and emails and took the time to explain the answers to all my questions. I have completely trusted them and they didn't let me down. I absolutely recommend them!

I would not recommend this firm. The staff is excessively rude and treats you as nothing more than a case number. They do not return calls or emails and make a long list of promises they don't deliver on. The firm is unprofessional, inconsiderate and literally just blows you off. They do not provide the free review or consultation they advertise nor do they take cases their website and blog advises they handle. It was a terrible experience dealing with them. The only person I spoke with in two weeks was the intake specialist. They never provided a consultation but referred me to a paralegal Kassandra who blew me off, never provided the review or consultation. In close to three weeks she never responded to the email she requested. Overall this was a horrible experience and a complete waste of my time. Not once in three weeks did an actual attorney in that office call me, attempt to consult or answer any questions. Kassandra was completely unprofessional and made it very clear she had no intent of providing the review that the website promises. Then she just blew me off after refusing to even acknowledge my emails for three weeks.

I was referred to obr. And pks. By a family member who was successful in a claim. Enjoy that I receive mail notices about my case. It has definitely been a struggle for me after being denied SSDI. I have a mental disability that's been going on for several years been in hospital care several times. I was initially unhopefull that I didn't apply for years. I don't mind the amount of time this will take just hopefully for an award letter. Waiting for a hearing appointment. I have confidence in my lawyer will see me through this process. Any frustrations about my case is that there is sufficient evidence for long periods of time that I was disabled only to hear denied claim very sad to hear that all my medical records didn't mean anything. I also have spinal surgery that gives me chronic pain. Guess I wasn't surprised about being denied. So I'm glad I was referred to someone who could help me. My psychizophrenia has been a very long struggle with nurses and behavioral health technicians helping me get back to normal. Thank you very much for taking my case ober and pekas Ronstadt. Looking forward to the future of my case.

Tried to get a consultation over the phone and the women on the line would not even listen to me like she was already against me from the start. I have been through hell for 3 years and she made me feel like I just don't want to work and want SSI just to be handed to me. Made me feel like I just want to sit at home doing nothing well I have been working since I was 14 and I am 41 and unfortunately it has been hard to work and can't keep a job because of my illness. Well I definitely don't want a law firm that is already so dang negative from the start.

I used Ober & Pekas for my LTD and SSDI cases,, and I'm glad to have them on my side. Erin Ronstadt was my LTD attorney. She is very knowledgable on Employee Plans and the Eirisa law. She was very easy to work with, compassionate and understanding. She kept me informed on the status of my case, and kept me updating on next steps. She did an awesome job winning my case and got me much more than expected. I would definitely recommend that you reach out to them when needed these services. Mr Ober handled my SSDI case and made it appear so easy, Very knowledgable of the law. He set very clear expectations, from start to finish. He's also very comfortable in the court room and won that case for me as well. The office staff was also very easy to work with, I would definitely recommend this team to handle your case..

We called today to see if we could be helped with our disability situation. We used this same firm 8 years ago and we're very pleased. Unfortunately today was not the same. Talked to a lady named Lorraine and explained to her what was going on and if the firm could help us. We just wanted to know what some of our options were. Havet to say this person was not friendly at all and very condescending . Not sure if she was having a bad day or what. When my wife got off the phone with her she was in tears. Bottom line is when people call these firms it means theirs a lot going on in there lives. I guess just show a little more compassion and remorse. You have no clue what there going through.

They did not do much of anything. They charged me for records that in court they told the judge they had not received. The worst part is they even charge the $91 dollars that they are not suppose to charge according to the LAW. I told them they were not allowed to do this so they changed their billing and sent it to me again. It would cost more than that to take them to court so be prepared to give up the $91 because without doing so I don't think they could feed their families.

I went to caldwell and ober after I was denied twice when I filed myself so I thought I should hire an attorney. I heard only good things about this place so I decided to hire them. After going over all my records they told me that there was no point in trying to get disability because I would Never Get Approved. Even though, I have extensive medical conditions which include several chronic pain disorders. They said that they didn't want to waste my time, that I would Never Get Approved. I told them that the real reason why they didnt want to take me as a client was because it wasn't a sure thing. That they cared more about their stats. So I went to Stephaine Lake and six months later I was approved for disability.
