Thank you so very much for all you have done for me, the advice you have given and even for taking the time to congratulate me on this case! I am just very happy that I have great people on my side working hard to show how rough it has been and is on me. It has been a long road and I know the road is even longer ahead. But at least now I can get the care I need and can finally start to support myself! Many Blessings to you and the rest of the team!

In a perfect world, no one should have to live in the depths of depression. However, when things weren't going well, one perfectly wonderful person has been there to guide us through the Social Security system. Sue, you are a terrific person and an asset to Jeff's staff. We cannot thank you enough for guiding us along the way.

(wording from card) I really am grateful and hope that you know how happy I am to be telling you so. Let me start by saying a big thank you to each and everyone of you. You have made my world a much better place for me. I am so glad to be writing this card to you, words can't explain. Without going into details this journey has been just that a journey, but the outcome is so much bigger than the road it took to get here. I can't tell you and its all because of your expertise and drive that made this possible for me. So in closing please accept my thanks.

Thank you so much for accepting my disability case. It was so victorious and I have you to thank. I was so surprised how quick it was. I must assume it was because of the assistance I received from Susan. She was so wonderful through this whole experience. I will certainly recommend your services to anyone I know who is contemplating filing for disability. Thank you so much.

I wanted to send a thank you note for all the work your firm did for me, and also a personal thanks to Mr. Rabin. The talk we had before he took my case inspired me to get my life back on track, as well as work towards going to school. Thank you very much! I was wondering if I could inquire after a referral for a divorce lawyer from your firm. I'm looking for someone in the Joliet area.Once again, thank you very much for everything. I feel as if I have a life I can make something of now, as I work towards getting better. I will always be in your debt.

... Hallmark card stating "I can't thank you enough...but I hope you know I appreciate everything you've done. I had been trying to find the perfect card for you. But there isn't one, it's just the words that I can say that makes it perfect. Without your help I'd probably still be waiting to get the disability. I want to thank you for having faith in my case... It's like having a new life, all of this would not have happened if I didn't have all of you to help me. Thank you so much again. I'm letting everyone know what a great group of people you are and very understanding.

I am very pleased w/the outcome of my SS case. I especially wanted to acknowledge Sharon. She was extremely helpful. With my depression and anxiety I get worked up easily. There were days when I called or emailed in hysterics and she was able to calm me and give me the direction I needed. Sharon always responded in a timely manner and she was consistently pleasant and professional. As you are well aware, it's a grueling process and Sharon helped me keep my sanity.

I was a little skeptical when I was looking for an attorney to represent my disability case. The first time my case was rejected. One day, while working in the garden, one of my neighbors and I had been talking and we got around to medical issue. She told me her first experience with the Disability Department went nowhere. She lost her disability claim the first time around. Then she heard about Jeffrey Rabin and Associates. They worked with her and helped her win her disability case. She stated that they wee very professional and took their work seriously. At that point I decided to meet Mr. Rabin and get a feel for the office environment. I was impressed with the hour conversation I had with Rabin and my case. At that point I decided to retain him and his staff to handle my disability case.
The person I met before meeting Mr. Rabin was Lillian, the greeter and receptionist. Her genuine warmth and smile made me feel that I was in the right place. I got the impression that she kind-of ran the office, which was good because she seemed know where things were, who was coming in that day, etc. After Mr. Rabin finished with another client, she introduced me to Mr. Rabin. We talked in great deal about my case and about the reasons he thought would be worth contesting the original verdict. He explained how the fee scheduled worked and it seemed like fair way for payment and services rendered.
The next person I met was Janet. She was the person I kept in touch with most of the time, regarding dates, times, when something happened or clarification about something unclear. She was extremely thorough and professional in her work on my case. One nice thing about working with Janet was that she always kept me abreast of documents that were needed. I called her with questions and she answered them is a pleasant. Mr. Rabin is lucky to have her on his staff. It's hard to find the quality, professional and sincerity like Janet showed.
Mr. Jim Brown was the attorney who actually represented me in the courtroom. He put me at ease and briefed me about what was going to happen once I entered the courtroom. We went into a conference room and he explained every detail of the proceedings. He definitely studied my case and suspected some of the questions the judge might ask. He was pretty much on target with this of case and how this worked. I own Mr. Brown a great deal of gratitude for making the entire ideal and process go so smoothly.
The entire team knew it's job and did it well. I would recommend Jeffery Rabbi and Associates without hesitation if one were having problems with the disability system. I had a problem and they solved it for me. Call them and schedule an appointment. You'll be happy you did!

Thank you Mr. Rabin for personally responding to my original email and taking the time to listen to my story even before you took my case. Your straightforward advice helped me to understand what would be necessary for me to do on my part which was so helpful. For two years, Janet felt like my life line. I needed her assurance that we were on track and our day would come. Jim Brown is the person you want sitting next to you when you feel like you are before a firing squad. He was calm, in control and respectful. Although it didn't appear to be in our favor, I left the hearing that day happy that we had presented our case honestly and in a dignified manner. Thanks Jim, for personally calling with the good news. Thank you one and all.

I had to write to you and thank you for all the help that you and your staff offered in a most trying and difficult time in my life. Any time that I had a question or a problem that needed answering your people were there with a can do attitude. I would remiss to forget to thank you for your kindness in the very fair settling of my account. You are a good man, (as far as that can be said for any of us people). Thanks for listening to that still small voice.
Thank you again.
Most Sincerely Yours,

This is late coming to you, but I want to thank you very much for believing in and taking my case. It took some time and while there was the probably it would take going before a judge, where I had no doubt you would win, a subsequent review awarded me the disability.
This makes a considerable difference in my life and I can only tell you how much it is appreciated. Janet did an outstanding job for her part in coordinating the information and assisting me. Thanks to her.
Best wishes for continued success.
Regards,

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you what a great job Jim did today at my hearing. We met for about an hour before the hearing and he prepared me for just about anything that might happen. He explained in detail the procedure I could expect, and did everything he could to put my nerves at ease. I entered the hearing room with much more confidence that I could have otherwise mustered up. During the hearing Jim was extremely professional and cited my records from memory, including all my conditions, the names of my doctors, and even the chapters and codes of Social Security Law. He spoke with confidence, compassion and conviction. Jim gave credibility to all the claims I made of my conditions and diagnosis. With Jim's great work I am optimistic that I will get a full reward.
Jeff, I believe Jim is a wonderful asset to your firm, and you are fortunate to have him.

I wanted to send you both a note to tell you how truly grateful Mark and I are for what you have done for us. We have had a really rough couple years.
Sharon, your attentiveness and follow-through made Mark's disability case settled so much faster than we ever anticipated. We were able to save our house and get our son off to college at the same time.
There really are no words that can express our gratitude. Jeff, I hope you realize what an asset Sharon is to your firm!
Thank you again.

I just wanted to thank you for your tireless hard work on my husband's behalf. We wouldn't have gotten Mike on disability without all of your efforts.

Mr. Rabin I always appreciated your letters. They kept me informed and reminded me of you the day you interviewed me. I got a lot out of that meeting. I especially liked the birthday cards. They were heartwarming when no one else thought of sending me any. But this letters the one that makes me more pleased.
Indeed, it was a pleasure working with your all-star staff from the receptionist, the paralegals like Sharon and Amee. She made a long and lasting experience from the few hours we got to talk. Again thanks for your guidance, thoroughness and professionalism.
God bless you,

Thanks to you and Janet social security granted me disability benefits, before we needed to prepare for a hearing. I wanted you to know how wonderful Janet was to work with. Completing all those mandatory forms was daunting, but Janet's relaxed, pleasant, and knowledgeable demeanor helped to keep me clam.

Thank you for all your hard work and persistence. Words will not be able to express my thanks.
I can't tell you how happy I am about the good conclusion of my case. I was in the doctor's office when you called. I was feeling so hopeless and depressed the night before you called and wasn't feeling well. Janet, hold on to the article I send you and send it to anyone on the edge and tell them to hold on.
Your work is truly important, if you have a bad week or are burned out, you should be reminded that you what are doing is very important, peoples survival are in your hands.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you and your staff for easing the stress of the entire disability process.
From my first conversation with you I felt very comfortable and know you were someone I could talk to and work with. After reading the 'disability horror stories', I was still hesitant to proceed. However, after our meeting, I felt more confident and knew I was doing the right thing by applying for SSDI. I knew I was in god hands with you and your firm.
I had a very good experience working with Janet Stoodley. She was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. I definitely could tell she had a wealth of knowledge and experience along with being very easy to deal with.
I'm not going to say I still wasn't stressed at all, of course I was. The day the envelope came I was afraid to open it. I had to read the letter more than once just to be sure that I was approved! I cried and felt I could finally take a big deep breath and move forward.
Thank you again for everything. We won!! I will also be contacting the National MS Society and thanking them for the referral with a note that you are a great attorney to work with.
Very truly yours,
C.C.

Thank you so very much for all the work your firm did to help me receive a favorable decision in my disability claim. Janet Stoodley was extremely helpful and supportive during the whole process. She allayed all my fears and helped me get through it. Jim Brown did a great job in court presenting my case. For that I am extremely grateful.
