Our Berger and Green attorney recently represented a woman with a number of serious health problems. Of her many doctors, her PCP was the most knowledgeable about the nature and disabling effects of her ailments.
Our attorney sent a request to the doctor, asking that she provide a letter giving her professional opinion of the current status of the client’s problems and their effects on her ability to work. He then received notice from the doctor denying the request.
Without this letter our attorney began to search through his client’s medical document file to see what else could be of similar value. After extensive searching, our attorney found a previous letter written by the same doctor. Knowing how crucial an updated letter would be to our client’s case, our attorney decided to request the letter once more and this time he found success.
After speaking with the doctor, it was unveiled that they had never received or denied our attorney’s first request, it was someone from the administrative staff. Upon learning about the situation, the doctor promptly wrote and sent a very detailed letter concerning the client’s impairments. Soon after submitting that letter to the judge, the client received a favorable decision.
In this case our attorney’s persistence and determination produced favorable results. At Berger and Green, we always go the extra mile for our clients to ensure they have the best opportunity of a favorable decision.
