Very knowledgeable staff - made the difficult disability application process easy. I would highly recommend them. Everyone was hard working, helpful and respectful. Thank you Fritz, Paul and Linda for all of your help, we truly appreciate it.
Matt C.
I’ve been to a few different lawyers but I must say this is the best one! They handled my disability case and I have nothing but respect and good things to say. They are hardworking, helpful and respectful. I sent a good friend to them for workman’s comp case and it truly made me smile when they took her case because I know that she’s got the best!!
Rob H.
Rick Vasquez and his staff have helped me after a car accident. Since I had many years of working with insurance companies in medical case (as a medical practitioner), I thought I could handle this on my own...Rick and his team have been very helpful in negotiating and settling the matter. They are quick to communicate and honest. Highly recommend!
Nancy K.
I was referred by another lawyer who said these were the people who know will treat you right for disability. I had another lawyer before and I have nothing to say about that experience. All I want to say is I am so glad I called. These people are awesome and I could not be happier. Thank you 10 stars.

Edison V.
I did a lot of research and digging before deciding to go with Mr. Vasquez and his team....I would recommend anyone at least talk with him if you’re considering an attorney. Reviews are helpful but going with your gut and realizing every case is different can go a long ways in making it a success.
