Don't go with them if you can avoid it!..

Don't go with them if you can avoid it!..
This is my honest opinion from my personal experience!
There are SO many things they did wrong and SO MANY things that they did not do that they should have to help me and my case.
I wasted 3+ years trusting them and now basically losing everything..
Now I have to find a another Law firm to help me.. that I can trust to guide me to do all the right things the judge will want.. They should have helped me with knowing what to expect with the Doctor and Psych exams. They didn't tell me that they don't care about any other medical records you may have, they don't even look at them! They need to see you at your worst! The entire case is based on that half hour meeting with you! You are better off not even taking your pain or anxiety meds for the visit..
Myler didn't tell me it would help my case to go through Vocational rehab, to get a functional capacity evaluation from workmed, or to get a neuro psych evaluation. They said i was better off not working.. The judge held it against me for not trying. The Lawyer should also be capable of discerning whether your Doctors are charting your disability the right way..or else the Judge will deem all your medical records inconsistant and unweighted against their appointed Examiners. Your disability lawyer should be able to look at your records and see the things the judge will tear apart making you disqualified if they know their job. They should be able to let you know so you can take steps to fix any inconsistancies beforehand.. otherwise you will be screwed from the start. With Myler you never see or talk to a lawyer until you are denied twice and about to go before a Judge. They don't go over your records with you. Mylers case managers don't have a care or clue what is really going on.. They will patronize you telling all is well and to just report any new Dr. visits.
I begged to see a lawyer for months before the trial but all they could say was one hadn't been assigned yet. We did meet just before trial and My lawyer had no clue what the judge wanted. The lawyer should be prepared to argue any weak points in your case or have you prepared with how best to reply in a courtroom. My assigned lawyer just said be honest and asked me questions in front of him like a generic disability script that they ask everyone. I felt like cattle being rushed through as she had a client scheduled before me and one after me. Some of the questions made my case look worse! Half of my records weren't even available to the judge. A good lawyer would go through a preparation with you letting you know what questions he/she was going to ask so you are prepared. They should have all the records there for the judge so any questions he has can be asked/answered on your court day. I had to go to IHC and Granger to get the records and hand deliver them myself to Myler.. and they didnt get them in on time for the trial (one of the files was locked). They still send me bills for them getting the records. I've waited another year to know if the case could be reviewed for a retrial.. They used the Olinsky Group out of New York.. to determine that it was worthy. They first told me there was hope at the federal level then a year later they told me they had a lawyer go over it that week and say the exact opposite. Now workforce services is saying the Judges decision is binding for life on all related conditions and I cant get General assistance from the state unless I have new unrelated medical conditions. So in all honesty you may be better off not going to the Judge level! Myler does not tell you any of this! They want to stretch it out and get the max $$ benefit from you in my eyes.
I am not happy with this experience or their representation. I am forced to start over and build my case the right way this time! I should not have to learn from these mistakes.. that is why you hire lawyers in the first place. I wont trust them again. Please take it to heart and learn from my mistakes!...
(Myler Disability don't bother with a patronizing response . It wont help!)
