I wouldn't even give them the 1 star. My SO used them to get his disability and it had to go all the way up to a... hearing, which he lost. The lawyer we were assigned never mentioned my SO was diagnosed with a condition that is listed under the SSA Compassionate Allowance Program. These conditions take anywhere from 2-5 years to fully diagnose and are usually fast tracked through SSA because of this.. We sent several e-mails containing the diagnose including letters from his Neurologist, copies of the MRI and ALL the other test results. We NEVER even talked to the lawyer except for a couple of days before the hearing. During the hearing his lawyer was rude and even talked over my SO trying to answer his question.Whenever we called either had to leave a voice mail or a message with the receptionist. Most of the time we did not hear back until we would call again then maybe get a call back. Most of the time it took 3 or more times to get anyone to call us.We had to file the last appeal ourselves, received a letter that they would not continue with our case Fortunately we kept all records of the days and times we sent the e-mails containing his information. Also have all copies of the attachments sent. We sent all these to the SSA Appeal Court.read more

I never expected to see a dime , I really thought it was another scam. I do believe that having representation is the... only way to get SSD . Unless you are 100 % disabled. Thanks to Crest I will have the chance to enjoy my retirement while my chronic pain still allows, I have no idea what Creat does in the back ground, but it was enough. The Covid-19 has changed everyone’s lives , those with limited physical abilities, most will not thrive with out help. Ty Crestread more

I recommend Crest SSD,LLC if you are trying to get your disability. They are very polite and courteous when you speak... with them over the phone. They call you to get updates on your condition so it can be placed in your file. If you don't hear from them it doesn't mean they are not doing their job because they are working on your case. I really appreciate everything they have done for me doing my waiting period. So give them a call if you're having difficulty in getting your disability. Thanks again Crest SSDread more
