On behalf of our adult son who is suffering from horrid MS conditions we contacted KBAR Legal Services for advice and assistance in applying for disability on his behalf. We spoke with Katie on that first phone call and she took time to explain all the steps , requirements, etc. as to how this process works and we asked her to represent our son for this application etc. KBAR Legal demonstrated dogged determination in getting us through this process with a successful conclusion after many, many months of grueling work on her part and our's. We highly recommend KBAR Legal for this challenging application work. KBAR specializes in this field and doesn't get sidetracked with other cases of legal work in other fields. Katie is a wonderful person to help people navigate through all the intricacies of government requirements to apply and understand the challenges of successfully completing the network of forms, requirements, etc. to reach a successful conclusion. Katie with KBAR Legal, always returned our phone calls and/or emails when we had questions and/or concerns and was always easy to talk with. As a family dealing with a victim of MS (a horrible desease) we are very satisfied with the services, knowledge and particularly the dogged determination of Katie with KBAR Legal.

I can hardly describe how grateful I am to have been referred to KBAR Legal Services. Katie Brinkmeyer handled my disability case. She was very thorough in preparing materials and me for the hearing. Everyone there is very professional and showed real concern for my case including follow up through the whole process, not just the hearing. I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend the services of Attorney at Law Katie Brinkmeyer. Throughout my disability application process she was an utmost professional. Katie helped me know what to expect during my hearing and always answered my questions and concerns whether it be over the phone or by email in a timely and thoughtful manner. For anyone who is seeking legal representation in the state of Indiana for disability, KBAR Legal Services LLP is the way to go.

After years of being denied by the state for my disability, Annette at KBAR Legal Services won it for me. Great company to work with.

D O N' T use this attorney for anything!! She starts out like she's really gonna help you until she's got you locked in and then she does nothing for you and may even ruin. Any chance you've got of winning your case. She won't call you, she won't return your calls and if you call her too much she will retaliate against you by messing up your case. The brief she wrote for my case was 3 lines long! Absolutely useless!! She's should not have a license to practice law anywhere!! Stay clear of her!

Completely blew me off and told me she wouldn't even bother helping me with my claim because apparently its too small.

Response from owner

Mr. Bokodi is not and has not ever been a client of our office. Like all small firms we can not take everyone who simply calls the office for a variety of reasons. Not all callers have a viable case, or may be unwilling to present screening information or would not fit our current case load. Rather than simply accept the a simple rejection of a request for appointment, Mr. Bokodi has chosen to send a retaliatory review simply because we declined his case.

I contacted Annete for a consultation of a possible case representation. While her displayed knowledge of the law seemed adequate, her people skills and professionalism could use some assistance. Annete's overall tone was very haughty, imperious, and while I do admire blunt personal communication no one appreciates being spoken to as an inferior. An aggressive and tactically applied attitude is acceptable for the courtroom Im sure, but when communicating with prospective clients I would suggest her to take another route as to not misrepresent herself. During our conversation she also used the term "Trumpy town" to describe the tone of the legal system for the last four years. I found her derogatory insertion of a political insult highly distasteful. In case I misheard her statement, I asked her to repeat herself to which she did, because I wanted to make sure I heard her correctly. Im not sure I would include my political opinions in my contacts with clients as it seems a touch unprofessional. I hope this open and honest review of my impression assists Annette in bettering herself in the future. You catch more flies with honey as the saying goes. God bless you and farewell. Update: Case in point madam, your response to my review was to attempt to have google review readers perceive that my disappointment in your behavior stems from disgruntled reaction to your not taking my case. I would not press upon you to champion a position you felt untenable. Nor would it be an interest to me to waste both of our efforts and finances on a fruitless case. I truly do appreciate that you were honest about my situation with me, thus I stated your legal knowledge was adequate. However, I believe it does prove my point that rather than accept my constructive criticism you chose instead to attempt to obfuscate my position in order that the public at large see the situation in a more favorable light toward you when they see your reviews. It is your professionalism, not your business sense, that I chose to review.

Response from owner

I am sorry that Mr. Sullivan was disappointed in my inability to take on his claim and my assessment of the merits based on the information he provided on the phone. I declined representation his claim several times in a short conversation. We do find that many people to do not understand the limitations of the government and regulations when applying for benefits.

Annette is probably one of the most knowledgeable Social Security Attorneys in the country. She knows her cases and clients, and she does an outstanding job preparing herself and her clients for hearings. She's a true advocate.
