Jeffrey R. Herman

I look at a disability case as I would a jigsaw puzzle. I first sort through the facts and figure out what evidence is needed to piece together a picture of a winning disability claim. Then I explain the law and what pieces are needed to best complete the puzzle. We then work together toward winning the case.
