The Law Office of Gerald G. Lutkenhaus - Richmond, VA

After thorough research I chose GGL law firm to represent me in my workers compensation case. I couldn’t have had a better experience! Gerald Lutkenhaus was always available via the phone or email. He never dodged my calls, He always called back if I had any questions. His paralegal Anne is also very professional and knowledgeable. They do everything in timely manner and put client’s interests first! This team is highly professional, honest and I just can’t thank them enough for obtaining a great settlement for me! I am just so thankful to them and it was definitely the right decision to use their services for my complicated case!

I could ALWAYS reach the office with any questions regarding my case. Friendly, professional. I was thoroughly informed of the process every step of the way.

Mr. Lutkenhaus was very professional and courteous. The entire staff worked collaboratively and efficiently. He is proficient in the entire SSA disability process and very determined. He and his office removed so much of the burden during an extremely stressful time. I highly recommend!

I am thankful for the way that my lawyer and his staff worked to achieve a favorable outcome in my case. These guys know what they are doing.

Yes I would highly recommend. Great people to work with.

A relative applied for social security disability benefits and had the claim denied. I was asked to help and began to research the social security disability application process. The statistics of denial although staggering were pretty easy to find. It seems that about 67 percent are denied initially and the figure jumps to about 87 percent for reconsiderations. Apparently your chances of success for reconsideration are even lower if you don’t appeal after the initial denial which was the case for my relative. Although I am retired while employed I valued contractors that had memberships in professional organizations specific to their trade or profession. This is the approach I used to help the relative retain a lawyer well versed in social security disability law and contacted NOSSCR – the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives and asked for the names of local members. Much to my surprise only two members worked in the Richmond metropolitan area. Gerald G. Lutkenhaus had far better reviews. From the beginning it was clear that Mr. Lutkenhaus was well versed in social security disability law, rules and procedures. I actually read an entire book on SSA disability before I joined the relative for the initial meeting with the GGL Law Firm. Everything I read was confirmed ten times over. GGL had both the knowledge and the essential experience needed for these types of cases. I must confess that my dislike for most lawyers is that they charge you for every minute you talk to them and they nickel and dime you for everything and anything they can which is definitely not the case with GGL. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Anne the paralegal at GGL. Anne too has an encyclopedic knowledge of social security disability law and procedures and is extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. So what’s the bottom line? Our relative had a hearing 9 months after the first meeting with GGL and was granted a favorable outcome. GGL beat the statistics!!!! I certainly would recommend GGL without hesitation.
