I was most impressed with how the attorneys and staff at Chihak & Gustad personally knew all the key people at Social Security, DSHS, and the hearing office. Knowing who to call, when to call, and what exactly needed to be done to get my claim approved made all the difference in my case. I would highly recommend Chihak & Gustad.
