Rick Krause Social Security Disability Attorney

I was not impressed with Mr Krause as an attorney. I received a partially favorable decision. I was awarded disability, but no back pay. I waited 3 years and received $0 back pay. As far as being awarded disability. I'm over 50 and have an above knee prosthetic. I would have been awarded disability representing myself. Mr. Krause spoke with me 2 times in the 15 months he was my attorney. Once the day he was hired and once about 1 month before my hearing. He asked me two questions at the hearing and asked the vocational nurse 2 questions. He was not prepared at all. I was blatantly lied to by his lead Paralegal on more than one occasion. I was also asked to call several doctors to retrieve my medical records. Evidently the 13 months he had was not enough to gather these. I would not recommend Mr. Krause to anyone that is looking to hire an attorney. I mentioned to him that I was not pleased with his representation. Him being a mature and respectful attorney got his feelings hurt and has chosen not to file an appeal to The Hearing Council. I am now left to do this on my own. I can't find an attorney that will take my case this late in the process. Lastly, I am a 50 year old guy with an Above Knee Amputation, Spinal Stenosis with claudification of the nerve root, Degenerative Disc Disease, PTSD, and Depression. I use a cane and a walker.These are prescribed by a doctor. I have been in this condition for over 3 years and Mr. Krause could not get me any back pay.I will only say that Atticus can't control the lawyr. Atticus does choose to work with and refer him as an attorney. Look up Mr. Krause on Lawyers.com or MAS Law. his reviews or lack of reviews speak volumes
