I highly recommend Shawn M. Good for any legal matters. We recently consulted with him regarding a complex document, and his professional insight was invaluable. Thanks to his clear advice, we avoided making a hasty decision and decided not to sign. Shawn is professional, knowledgeable, and truly looks out for his clients' best interests. We will definitely be reaching out to him again before starting any future projects. Thank you for your excellent guidance!

I called several disability offices with some questions about how to a handle a situation between my disability and work and everyone was very helpful except for The Good Law Group. There are other good local options out there if you’re having issues.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Ashley Hampton was wonderful to work with! She gave us great advice. Also she was polite and prompt every time we spoke with her. We would definitely work with The Good Law group and especially Ashley again!!

Yes I won in court. That said, I was prepared to write the same review regardless of the outcome. My case was originally denied 2x because someone sitting behind a desk all day at the SSDI office. Defined my job running an extremely busy high volume restaurant as “light duty”. Well when it got to court. SSDI had a “job expert” there to testify. Neil Good and his team were so amazingly prepared for this. He knew what to say and what to ask me. So much so that when the judge asked the expert if I could return to that job or similar. She responded with no hesitation, NO! I felt we won at that point but it was nice to get the official decision. Going after the SSDI that you worked for and now need. Could be a long and winding road. The Good Law Group answers the phone and calms your nerves after every letter. You don’t even respond, to the letters as they do. And in the end they are 100% prepared should it go all the way to court. Thank you for everything Good Law Group. I know that I called too often and was always stressed out. But everyone was always so nice and knowledgeable.

Response from owner

Going to court can be a very intimidating experience, especially with long and complicated cases. Neil Good was professional, thorough and sincerely compassionate. His staff is kind and accessible. I truly appreciate God's help and Neil's help. Thank you for winning my case. I highly recommend the Good Law Group.

Typical, "Used Car Salesman" Lawyers who talk out both sides of mouth and neither is honest. Bare minimalists who have YOU do most of the leg work getting forms and documents filled out by your Drs and send back in and most likely have to do again claiming never received yet when they have their greasy palms out, charge the maximum like they did ANYTHING other then file needed court paperwork. THIS GROUP ONCE THEY FIND OUT YOUR "SUCCESFULL" IN YOUR APPLICATION PROCES AND THEY ARE GETTING PAID EVENTUALLY THEY FALL OFF FACE OF EARTH AND TAKE 2 WEEKS TO CALL BACK IF AT ALL. CLAIMING EVERY QUESTION ABOUT THE PROCESS NOW IS "BEYOND OUR LEGAL SCOPE" THESE BOTTOM FEEDERS TOOK FEDERAL MAX OUT OF MY BACKPAY FROM MY FAMILY FOR FILING AN APPEAL. THATS ALL THEY DID! I DID ALL OTHER LEG WORK FOR THEM AND FORWARDED. EXTREMELY RUDE, SHORT, OFFICE SUPPORT STAFF WHO NEVER DOES WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL Do yourself a favor Chicago is a very large city law groups like Nash Disability, who are true Professional, not ambulance chasing Dad and Son teams are the way to go! My legal process with them is not complete yet. Regardless of what they think they're not getting away with it.I promise you that one way or another. This review and statement was 100% accurate with no fluctuation of story. So I'm sure with their follow-up posts, they're going to claim otherwise with a big smile and the typical used car salesman. "Trust me approach". You will have to decide.Why would anybody take the time to slam a business business If it wasn't true?

Shawn Good... Is a great attorney! What I can say about him is this... He is very professional, straight to the point, hard-working and does care about his clients and their disabilities. He fought for me and worked my case for about a good 2 years, and the decision was then finally made in my favor. This is all because of Shawn and The Good Law Group guiding me through, out the whole process, taking me through all the steps and procedures and always giving me a full understanding of what will come next... The advice I can give anyone in deciding for themselves to obtain Shawn as their disability attorney is this... It is going to be a process, a wait and if you decide to Hire Shawn do exactly everything he says... Trust me, this man will fight to his fullest for you! He is great at what he does, and that's my Gods honest truth! Thank you, Shawn, for everything! J. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Shawn was unprepared at the closing of my house sale. We sat waiting as the seller for approximately 2.5 hours at closing at the title company when we were told would take about 20 minutes, because he did not have the documents ready. He first had me sign documents with the incorrect buyer's information on it and then the numbers he had on the correct closing documents were incorrect by thousands of dollars. I would say it is safe to assume he never looked at any documents for the closing of my sale before I was sitting in front of him that day. He also raised his voice in front of my young child and was grossly unprofessional when it was brought up that numbers he was referencing were not correct. We heard him blame his assistant, the buyers attorney and even us for his lack of preparation that day and difficult milestones in the sale. Seemed to be everyone else's fault around him that he wasn't prepared. We had to send the title company documents ourselves right then and there that we had already sent his assistant prior to closing. He didn't even know that our divorce was finalized despite being told this information several times including being provided a copy of the certified dissolution. He had even asked about the divorce via text only 24 hours before the closing and was told again at that time it was finalized and a copy of the dissolution had been provided to his assistant. Yet, that was one of the first thing he asked when we arrived and then stated he didn't have a copy of it. He made the comment "We're both having a bad day" at one point. We were not having a bad day before experiencing his lack of professionalism in real time. If you want someone who will show up unprepared, drop the ball and never retain the answer to the same questions he asks multiple times, he's your guy! This was a very disappointing and unfortunately expensive experience. The irony of him telling my ex-wife she should blame herself for issues with the process when he was so ill prepared is outstanding. He took no accountability whatsoever.

Response from owner

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I want to sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you encountered during your closing process. It’s clear we fell short in meeting your expectations, and for that, I am truly sorry.<br><br>The length of time for a closing is entirely controlled by the buyer’s lender and can vary widely, typically lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the complexity of the transaction.<br>This variability is common in the industry, although we always strive to communicate any potential delays as soon as we are aware.<br><br>Regarding the preparation of documents, please know that it is never my intention to appear unprepared. The final closing figures and documents often depend on multiple parties and can be subject to last-minute changes which are out of my control. I understand, however, that as the professional guiding you through this process, it is my responsibility to ensure that all information is accurate and communicated effectively.<br><br>I take your feedback seriously and will use it as an opportunity to improve. Ensuring that all involved parties are informed and prepared for closing is a priority, and I regret that this was not your experience. Your comments will be addressed internally, and steps will be taken to prevent a similar situation in the future.<br><br>If there's anything further we can do to assist you or address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.<br><br>Warm regards,<br><br>Shawn Good

We were blessed to have worked with Shawn throughout the sale of our house. He was prompt and helped explain everything in detail. He understood certain aspects that we needed and was super friendly. We would work with him again if in the area or if needed. Thanks Shawn!!

The team at Good Law Group is phenomenal. Due to my age, I was turned down by multiple law agencies. However, The Good Law Group took on my case and was supportive throughout the whole process. Ashley Hampton and Shawn Good did an extraordinary job working on my case. They helped me through my disability case with compassion and care keeping me informed and explaining the whole process. With any questions I had, Ashley answered them, and I never felt that I was bothering her. I would highly recommend The Good Law Group to anyone.

Very knowledgeable. Great, responsive paralegals that clearly have expertise also. Was given lots of solid guidance and was approved for SSDI without having to appeal, go through hearings, etc. They set our expectations realistically and helped us through this stressful time as a family. Cares deeply for the elderly and veterans. Good people. Thank you for blessing our family!!
