I was denied filing disability on my own. I found Merryl Jones as a second chance Attorney. Met up with her and she explained the process. Social Security denied me a second time and I was about to give up and she said “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” With that, she gave me the courage to keep going. Good thing because my case had a successful outcome. I highly recommend her as an attorney. I am very grateful for Miss Jones and Amanda, who is very responsive and helpful all through the process. Thank you ladies!

My brother suffered from severe depression and was originally receiving SSDI. He tried to return to work but was unsuccessful in holding a job due to his severe mental health. He recently was diagnosed with kidney failure along with more health conditions where he could not maintain employment. He was no longer able to pay his medical bills, maintain a residence, or support himself. Out of frustration, wits end, and many doors shut in his face, he researched and connected with Merryl Jones for assistance. After selecting Merryl Jones to represent him and providing all the necessary requested medial and personal documents, he waited for some type of response. After many phone calls and left messages to Merryl Jones office, my brother became more depressed and his mental and physical health declined. My brother only wanted a follow up response and case status from Merryl Jones office and staff as this was his last resort. As Merryl Jones indicated on her website, she has a 98 percent approval rate and my brother waited and waited for a positive response. My brother would always inform me of his endless attempts to contact Merryl Jones office to no avail or response. As a result of these actions, my brother literally took a gun and blew his brains out in January of this year. Two weeks ago, I was notified by two local detectives that my brother’s decomposed body was found in his apartment where he was in the process of being evicted. The detectives informed me that his body had been in decay for some time. I am SOOOO heart broken and my family are in tears because of this situation. All my brother was asking for was some help in order to live and maintain his health. Literally all doors were closed in his face. Recently I contacted Merryl Jones office to inform of his suicide with no response. I had to literally call twice with no avail. I finally spoke to Amanda and she stated she would return my call and as of today I have not received a call. I can only IMAGINE how my brother felt. Please don’t let this happed to another client as my brother literally put his trust and faith in her office. Merryl Jones was his final attempt and cry for help. A SECOND CHANCE was all he wanted.

Response from owner

I mourn for you and your family in the loss of your brother. I understand from our communications that you are processing a lot of emotions right now. I will continue to pray for healing. As communicated, I will not publicly respond to the specific details of my representation and attorney-client relationship with your brother. Please know he was never and never will be forgotten by me.

I was referred to Ms Jones by a gentleman who works for the county. We spent the better part of three hours talking and me sharing my history. She was so kind, and calm, and I felt …hopeful. And then, we/I wait…and I was approved! I’m so grateful to Ms Jones, and a shout out for poor (lol) Amanda, who has patiently/calmly explained details about my case *multiple* times. Including this morning! Fun fact: During my interview with Ms Jones, I happened to notice a framed Bible verse hanging on the wall right over my head. Fear not. I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. I want to say Book of Jeremiah (?) I remarked on it (that’s one of my favorite verses)and I said something along the lines of Oh that is perfect! Must help people feel encouraged. And she replied that it was to encourage/remind *her* that it’s going to be fine. An arduous wait, and things are now, indeed, fine. *Better* than fine. I now have support and access to medical care Just such a great team! Thank you so much Ms Merryl Jones, and the always unflappable, patient Amanda. Bless you all.

Most unprofessional, uncaring, and plain rude. Everyone in the office could care less to help you with your case unless it’s a dead ringer and they gonna big profit from it. Won’t return phone calls or emails. Front desk women are rude and seen to not have a clue as to what they are doing. I highly highly highly advise to pay someone else to help you reach your social security goals.

Response from owner

Mr. or Ms. K - I have combed through our database of people that have called us and cannot find anything remotely related to your review. It appears that you are not happy. If you would like to call me personally at 254-776-3611 to give me some more information, then I would welcome your phone call. I have been practicing law for 25 years now and have had the honor and privilege of representing people from all different backgrounds and medical conditions. I always say if I can come up with a theory on how to prove someone meets SSA's definition of disability, then I will represent them at no charge unless I win. I have represented<br>people with very complicated medical conditions because those are the ones that need the most help to best present their case to the judge.
