  • “She (Ms. Light; her case manager) made the process go very quickly and kept me apprised of the situation. She contacted Social Security on a regular basis and requested that they expedite the matter. Due to her quick response to our problem and persistence we received the money due me in just a matter of weeks, rather than months, and saved our home. I would work with your company and Ms. Light anytime. Ms. Light is excellent.”

Mr. Matt Russell immediately returned my phone call and provided excellent advice helping me with disabillity questions. With Matt's assistance and positive attitude, I was informed about the best choices in my case. Besides his concern and professionalism, Matt's positive attitude took away all my worries and stress. In addition, Matt also informed me I could call anytime for to answer any questions. I highly recommend Matt for any assistance regarding disability. Thank you Matt for all your concern, advice and kindness.”

    Thank you so much for the work you did on my case. It is such a relief and a financial weight lifted from me. It would not have been possible without your hard work and tenacity.

  • “Good morning Mr. Russell.

    I am so grateful to you, and to Mr. Hill also, for taking my case and following it through to the end. Thank you for helping me get the benefits I need and deserve. I still sometimes can't believe it's all over now and with such an awesome outcome. I was honestly ready to dig my heals in for the long haul. I didn't realize, until the day I got my letter from the judge, just how much all of this ordeal had consumed me. I can't even begin to describe to you how much easier it is for Steve & I to breathe now. An amazing weight has been lifted off of us. It feels like a huge triumph. I'm not able to put into words to thank you enough.

    We just received my back pay check. I know it says that the money was already taken out to pay for you for your services. But I need to check with you to be positive.

    Again, thank you so much for all your hard work and time that you and your staff put into my case and helping me for the past almost 2 years to achieve the favorable decision I finally got.”
    -- Heather M.
  • “Dear Jim,

    Carol and I don't know how to thank you for your efforts on her behalf. at a time when the walls were closing in for us and the country,you can't imagine how thrilled we were to open today's mail and find conformation that the deposit in Carol's account was not a bank error. I don't know how you pulled it off with out a long wait for a hearing. We are indebted to you and you can be sure we will be shouting your praise to all who may need your assistance... we are not sure when we will get across the state, but please allow us to meet you and buy lunch when we do.

    Thanks again.”

  • “We wanted to take a moment to say a simple thank you to you and everyone in your office. It has been a difficult two years and we are not really sure what took place Monday, but it is the first time we felt like someone cared about Walt's health issues. Please pass on to Matt how grateful we are for his ability in the court room and with the Judge.

    As we walked to our car, we both said how happy we were to be able to help our son who has been fighting cancer for eight years. Please also know how sorry I am that Walk didn't answer several of the letters that you sent to him. Part of his depression and illness, but not knowing this I am sure he seemed difficult. Thanks for your patience and all the hours of work you put in to help him.”

  • “I wanted to take a moment to commend Ms. Martha Boden. As my attorney for my SS Disability case, she took a nerve-wracking situation and made it much more comfortable. She was knowledgeable about my conditions and knew what kind of pain or trouble they caused me. She was very caring and explained the process to me very thoroughly. I went into my hearing knowing exactly what to expect. As you can imagine, that went very far to ease my nerves. Thank you, Ms. Boden. If I ever have a chance to refer you, I will.”
    -- Barbara Mathisen

    I think you are TERRIFIC! You've helped me to survive my future. My unemployment ran out. My savings is GONE! Now, thanks to you, I can keep a roof over my head. I can live with dignity! I no longer have to live in fear of what I'm going to do to survive. I was afraid I was going to have to move into my (compact) car! Which I could no longer afford to register, or insure. Which would've put me on the street! I just can't thank you enough!”

  • “5 Stars (5/5) - This firm did an absolute wonderful job for me in my disability case. They gave me straight forward answers to very difficult questions, guiding me through a very difficult process with excellent results. Even after being denied, Jim Hill pled my case and did extensive foot work which ended in me winning my case instead of having to settle for what was offered by the judge. These are 5 star lawyers in my book!”

  • “I feel compelled to write this to Mr. Matt Russell because he needs to receive a big THANK YOU from me and my family as well. When I had totally given up on what I had believed an impossible situation, Mr. Russell never did. He simply asked my permission to continue pursuing this very difficult and delicate case that had really discouraged and emotionally emptied us. Mr. Russell really fought the battle for us. Mr. Russell continued to deal with me with very gentle candor. Mr. Russell took the time to read and study every word, this took many hours. He allowed me to retain my dignity and always treated me with the utmost of respect. He genuinely is a very caring and outstanding person. I Caringly and Respectfully Thank You Matt Russell.”
    -- Donna Frost
  • “Upon the recommendation of a friend, I contacted Russell & Hill to handle my disability claim. This was definitely a process I needed assistance with due to my disability and not understanding the claims process. It is all very overwhelming. From the beginning, my caseworker (Callie) was very prompt and patient in responding to my questions and in assisting me submit the many disability forms, meet deadlines, etc. Thank you very much for helping me during this very challenging and stressful time of my life!”

    -- Marie Garner
  • “In a very quick and very caring way, Russell & Hill took on my case. The were very wonderful & caring attorneys. Everyone that contacted me was very very concerned about my well being. After discovering I had cancer, I figured I was in for a long road of expenses with no income. I was very amazed at the efficiency of Russell & Hill! They also kept me in the loop on the progress of my case. Without a Great Group backing me I know it would have taken a long time to settle my case maybe years; I have heard it happens some times. Not in my case; it only took 7 months to appeal & be presented in front of a Judge. My outcome is very much appreciated, completely settled & in my favor. I can not tell any one on how much it means to have such a relief of financial burden during this time of my life. Again I am very grateful to have such a wonderful group of caring people on my side. Thank all of you who work At Russell & Hill. I will be recommending you to those who need help !!!”
