I am 26 and I suffer from BiPoler One disorder. When I was a child, I was on disability. I have been going to therapy since I was 13. When I reached the age of 17 I took myself off of disability to try and work, you know, like normal people. I never was able to keep a job for longer than 3 months..
Two years ago I started to try and get back on disabiliby/. No one can say I didnt tried to work!. I hired Myler Disability to be my lawers/. After many different changes to the staff, having to explan it all again to each one, and two denials later, I went to court:. The lawyer I was assigned never called me intill the day before.. Then he rushed me off the phone".
I Live in a small area and this lawyer drove from Atlanta to be in court with me. He held the whole court system up for 3 hours till he was ready. Then he called me back to this little room to make me sign some stuff. He rushed me and wouldn't give me time to read them. I did try to read one but he took it from me when I was half way through the page, not even saying anything to me. This is when his attuted started to show. The judge got pissed off and took it out on me and my lawyer sumitted all the wrong evidence causing me to look like I shouldn't even be in court that day, but out looking for a job instead.
After coming home, I remenbered what I read before It was jerked out of my hand, It said I had to pay them even if I lost and if I changed lawyers I would still have to pay them if I won or lost. The contract is worded in away where you cant understand it and thats how they get you. I am waiting on my decion right now, but I know what the judge would do when I left the court room and thats to throw out my claim. The lawyer was rude and as we were walking out of the court room, he turned to the judge and said "not every one would be as nice as you." making it look like I was doing the rude talking. I couldn't even get a word in the whole time because the judge was pissed off from the lawyer.
Do not hire myler disability. Its the worst thing I have ever done.

I've had the same problem with Myler. I was represented by them for 3 years. i have a bad chronic illness which causes my joints and muscles to become extremely enflamed and swollen. It also affects my energy levels drastically, making it so I have to sleep at least 10 - 12 hours a night and I still wake up feeling like a truck hit me. I'm 33 years old and I've worked hard as a farmer all my life. I have chronic fatigue with immune system dysfunction and sever chemical sensitivity. Also, I have fibromyalgia and a major anxiety dissorder. There were times when i went 4 months without a call from them. I would call and leave messages and nobody would return them for quite some time. I have spent over $3, 000 USD in blood tests and other tests proving that I am indeed disabled. I actually seee a specialist for what I have, on a regular bi-monthly basis. This specialist has performed an additional 2 $500 USD test on me, including a rather expensive narrative explaining my dissability in full, as well as explaining why I cannot work at all. Myler is, for some reason, always giving me a new case worker. So, i have to explain myself over and over. I've done this 5 times so far. I went to court in front of a ALJ (administrative law judge) in my first hearing in 2009, and the female attorney I was assigned didn't even know what she was doing. Finally, this year (2012) Myler tells me everything is looking great and says social security wouold probably crack under the pressure before a second hearing would take place. Then, out of the blue, on 7/27/12 I recieve a letter from them telling me i had a great case, but they were withdrawing from my claim and would no longer be representing me. Complete ###. Now, I'll have to start over.
Something similar just happened to me except, they won't send a waiver of fees even though yesterday, I was told by my rep that the papers would be faxed by the end of the night. When I called back, another woman told me that my rep DID NOT tell me that and I would be responsible for fees even though all they did was the first initial claim. I just filed my own appeal today but now gonna play hell finding another attorney to represent me without that waiver of fees. They don't return phone calls in a timely manner and when you do get your rep, she can't answer very important questions you have. I wonder if Brad Myler knows how bad of service is being issued. I told the girl I had talked to today that she needed to play her tapes of our conversation back and she just told me again that it never was said. I have reported them to BBB for what that's worth but will put out the word that they are no good.
They seem to be shady i don't trust them either so if anyone has a complaint please notify the attorney generals office at [protected] and the bar association at [protected] since they are from utah these are the people to contact i was informed (LETS BAN TOGETHER AND PUT THESE CLOWNS OUT OF BUSINESS I HOPE LET HELPS EVERYONE ! IM VERY P!@@ED @FF AT THE MOMENT AND IM GOING TO FIGHT THEM TOOTH AND NAIL UNTILL I PUT THEM @-HOLES OUT OF BUSINESS THEY ARE DISRESPECTFUL TO CLIENTS AND THEY WANT YOU TO DO ALL THE WORK UH EXCUSE ME THAT WHY WE HIRED YOU
I hired myler for my ssi and received a book of paperwork to fill out.about a week and half later I received basically the same book of paper wprk from s.s. I contacted myler and asked the lady that was handeling my case what did I hire you people for.i called them a number of times to fire them but they never returned my calls.i personally think myler is the biggest scam going and if they try to take one cent of my money I will bring fraud charges against them.
I hired Myler to handle my disability case i got denied three times and finally went to my hearing a couple of weeks ago from the way my lawyer presented my case to the judge i believe i will get denied once again i haven't gotten my decision yet because of the government shut down. But in my hearing my lawyer acted like she didn't know what she was doing or how to present my case. Before my hearing they kept asking my to request medical records and basically everything they needed they asked me to get for them isn't that what i hired them for. Worse of all i kept getting denied because they wasn't submitting my complete medical issues to SS. I would call them and they would never return my calls or emails. These people are full of bull. They are a scam.
Just about one month ago a women name kyli whom was my case worker, have all her emails telling me that she has fax over my work, just yesterday for some reason another case worker calls me up telling me that he going to be my new case worker, name mike, called him up this morning he told me he fax over a whole report and thank god took copies of the paper work I even had a gut feeling also, today now I am waiting on the phone to speak with ssi for my daughter's disbality, now which they never done the paper work, fishy it seems now I am worried sick for something that I sign for this now I know for a fact that I am hopefully now I can sue them for scams and fake con artist. So now we all need to do something about this now didn't pay any money, which my story will help you all for returning your money. Now just am scared now wow thanks Myler Disability Service great job on setting up fake information for us. Something told me to see if they're were any reviews about this company listen to your gut and heart. I will be also filing BBB to now.
They are very deceitful.Do my own investigation and caught them in blatant lies.They call after my hearing and tried to blow sunshine up my ### for their inadequacies and not submitting Crucial evidence about my case.Then I submitted the records to them.I hope they sleep well willfully knowing they are leading desperately sick people in the wrong last., #shameful
I sent my paperwork to a lady name Jeci, and waiting for a "case worker" in their office. SS says that they never got papers from them and made an informal decision to close my case. We will see what happens. I have called her and sent her emails too and have not heard back from them. I am waiting until noon tomorrow my time which is later Utah time (their time) and if I don't hear from them I am giving them notice that they are no long representing me! I will keep you all informed of the outcome.
Well in the course of the day I have found out many new things about Myler Disability. DON'T GO TO THEM FOR HELP! The lady I was dealing with, her name is Jeci, she told me that my paperwork was sent to SS and that they received it back because of some problems with the dates. Jeci told me that SS sent back the paperwork. I talked with SS today and any representive or lawyer is now required to apply online not through the mail so it is just one lie after another with them. DONT USE THEM. it will hold up your case, and God only knows what they will do with our SS numbers. Scary!
im doing my case with myler as well and its funny i seen alot of the same talk on the internet but not once have i expierenced any of such things that are talked about. im just saying because its the truth. there helping me out alot i dont even call them they call me all the time. sorry for others problems but i have none such as you all wrote. shaye nunez phoenix arizona.
I am glad to here that you are not having problems, why did you come to the complaintsboard then? I was told again that my paperwork was submitted and talked to SS again today and they still say same things, nothing has been submitted for me. If was was submitted by electronic it would be immediately known by SS that it was submitted. So I don't know, I am waiting until my SS phone call and if none of my paperwork has been received by then will get another rep. I want to believe that all is going to go ok, but it is doesn't oh well, will just Lawyer that I can just go into the office. I am a fair person so I will make sure that if things go well with Myler I will post all the way along to what is happening so to be fair. From beginning now to end of what happens with my case so anyone here can read what really happens, if they handle my case right or not. I hope so much that they do.
Well to be honest, they finally got me transferred to the "case manager" and then I got an email from her, then I emailed her back and called and today got a call from a different man. He said that the girl that was given to me no longer works there and he is filling in. He listened to me and answered a few questions. They did file everything and now I guess I just wait, but wanted to let you all know that they did file my application finally. I hope that things go smoothly for me. I will keep updating on them. I can't imagine them being as bad as some of the reviews I have read even from the employees in one place. Anyways I think they need an honest review so I'll keep this up to date. So far, things are moving forward finally.
Update: I told you all that I would continue to update so I am . They got me this new case manager, she is very nice, her name is Ashley and she seems to be very much on things and very caring person too. I am please at this point. I think maybe just the beginning is a mess getting it all started, but now things seem to be moving along and they always call me back and email me, they have taken care of my paperwork for me and that is so wonderful for me. I can't think to do all that stuff right that I am so not knowing how to do and feel so intimated so it is really nice to have Ashley get back in touch with me when I call or email. So I will update again, through the whole thing I am going to update you so you have a fair and honest review of them.
I filed March 2012... (With Myler) Denied quickly... Denied again.. I think a third time before it went before a judge. March 2014. I spent 5 minutes with my lawyer. Did everything I was asked to do. Which basically was don't speak. Yes and no answers. Denied again. Question then was do I appeal it or start all over again. He advised I appeal it.. Another 15 to 18 months to get the answer to that. Which will put me at Dec 2015... Today is Dec 2014 and the only income I get is child support for a child who will be 18 on one month. If I make it another year, what happens if they deny it again? Since the appeal has been sent in already am I now trapped in it? I can't help but feel like I have been taken advantage of. Me and my daughter are about to have no way of support. A woman in another state who is my friend had nearly the same reasons for disability and she was approved within 2 months with her first claim. (Different lawyer) I am in a pure panic now.
I think Myler is working on my case, they have told me they have several people working on it. I hope so, I WILL NOT be homeless. so if SS deny's me ...whatever.
Has anyone figured out a legal way to fire these jerks? I was denied for the second time, no one will return my calls to tell me if they will do a second appeal, I spoke to another lawyer who said they can not take the case unless I am willing to start over and it could take another 2 years OR I have to let Myler appeal for another hearing. I would prefer to use a local lawyer from NY but apparently am stuck...any suggestions, I just want Myler off my case so I can move on!
So much negative here! You can't expect because you have a law office working on your claim that you don't have to do anything! Social security loses things on a daily basis give myler some credit they are doing what they can with what info they get from social security. Social security is very hard to get a hold of and are veryyyy slow! As far as filing your claim online only part of it can be filed online the other has to be mailed in. They also have attorneys in every state that can represent you at the hearing level! Get your facts straight before you start bagging on someone and keep in mind most claims are denied the first time and your not going to ever be approved if you don't see a doctor! Just a heads up!
I think they are working on it okay.
I don't know, we will see.
They always answer phone now or call me back, I like that.
In my case Tyler disability is doing an excellent job. I agree with the statement above. Without doctor visits it is very difficult to get approved and yes it is true almost EVERYONE gets denied the first time sometimes even a second. Depending on how strong your case is and how much doctor appearances you have documented in your file you can either have a very strong case or in other cases a very week one. I personally have been patiently waiting for a court date for almost 3 years now, but I don't make a big stink about it because when I do get one, I know SSI will owe me a lot of money. For those who don't know, you are allowed to work part time and still be eligible for your monthly benefits and or still be able to apply for benefits. Your allowed to work part time making up to $1000 a month nothing more. Hopefully this was helpful to some of you. And good luck on your cases. I have 1 month left before SSI runs out of time of a court date after this month whether SSI is ready or prepared for my case they have to be in cluttering what they got. =)
I have plenty to back me up medical record wise I'm not happy with how they did me no return of phone calls 3 years just to be denied charging fees that were not to be paid unless I won my case I cannot work and one them money and they terminated my case will not refile have to get another lawyer and want to charge me to terminate my case cuz they no longer ish to represent me they couldn't speak up for me to help me at all and I had too many people on my case I have a strong case and lifetime illness and permanent nerve damage from diabetes and can barely walk but if I broke my finger I would get it in a minute
They have hidden fees!
Also the lawyer that I had working on my case had noting together. Myler is a complete shame. They don't care about their clients at all. I'm warning everyone who is thinking about using myler to think twice . If you are unemployed because of your disability be preapared to come up with money to pay for all the medical records they get for you . They will make you pay for your medical records and other fees even if you lose your case. I promise you that you willl have a hard time winning disability if you decided to use Myler. I have read many bad things about them and more negative than positive. Most of the good reviews about myler are all posted by there workers they have. They employ LOTS of people and they use there office slaves to write reviews which make them look good. I have proof from an old employee that they use many cunning methods to market on the Internet .They also practice lots of shady ethics to get money from even the most disabled person in the world. Doesn't matter who you are or what you are going through in life. Myler will bill you . They do not even care about mental illness cases at all. Don't use them if you are bipolar or mentally ill .
I'm trying to get Myler to give me a list of possible lawyers that will be representing me. I have sent an email that has not be responded to yet and just this morning, have now called Myler.
In the beginning with them I was lead to believe that I would have a lawyer. It has been representative after representative and now a "team".
I have been...ok...with this somewhat, but now at I am at the hearing level I would like to know who is representing me.
I am concerned about conflict of interest for one thing living in the small town and they want access to my HIPAA .
Some people, depending on their job title are not bound under confidentiality under HIPAA.
I don't like that and a few other things. I am confused as what to do.
I spoke with Conner today when I called and he sounded very young, and him- hawing around, didn't know what to say and had excuse after excuse, some in which sounded reasonable. He left the phone for apparent advice on how to answer.
I was told things such as...For example that some Lawyers and Judges know each other! Work together! etc. Hum... again. He could not give me a name. So I asked for a list of names of "possible" lawyers that would represent me; could not get that either.
So I left the phone call with still not knowing who will represent me at the hearing level.
It does bother me that I will be paying money out of my SS after getting it, if I do in fact get it for Myler's Lawyer and I don't have a lawyer!
and I can't even talk to the Lawyer that will be their with me. I don't like that at all!
I will be contacting a few people and discussing what is in my best interest concerning this and will keep updating.
I have to add that IF I get it I guess it won't matter, gladly pay for the Lawyer, but if I don't I am going to be standing there wondering what the hell happened. And possibly responsible for fees anyways. Hum...
A law firm? This is NOT a law firm. They misrepresent this! I have been working with Myler for my disability case for over a year now. I have appealed twice and now waiting for my hearing. In the year that I have been working with them, they haven't done anything but mail me the exact same paperwork that social security mails to me. Finally when they sent me a letter sating I will need to go to court, they finally put in bold letters thelat they ARE NOT attorneys or a law firm. They are only advocates. And they will not be going to my hearing with me. This is a scam. I agreed to hire them on the presumption that they were a law firm. BEWARE THESE ARE NOT LAWYERS but charge MORE than what an attorney who will go to court and help you would charge.
I just don't care anymore. If I get it, I get it, if I don't I don't. Whatever. I'm tired. Watched a snowballing of events since I applied. Lawyers or not, it is to their advantage to win. If not, oh well. Let me say it again..I'm too tired.
If they help me, they deserve to be paid, if I don't get SS, they can't get paid for what they have done cause I have no money.
I'm too tired and depressed from the long bullshiet of it all. I truely have lost hope anyways so it doesn't matter anymore. If I get it wonderful, it not...well I will care about myself just as much as others have.
Oh and Myler calls me back, no problem there. I don't care anymore about who is doing what and I have been told I will have a lawyer when the hearing finally comes up. If not, who cares! Doesn't matter anymore. I hold on to very very very very little hope. when that is gone, oh well.
Do not hire these people.I took forms to my Dr to fill out 2 months ago, I received the same paperwork in the mail again for the Dr to do again, Ldont even think he will do it again.
I was considering Myler to represent me but after reading all of these posts, I have to thank everyone. It looks like I was saved from a disaster. The woman who called me to see if I received the paperwork tried to get me off the phone as soon as possible, even before I could ask my questions. That told me everything I needed to know. they do not care about my peace of mind, just getting my signature on the dotted line.
Well they in reality have not done much. What I get is phone calls updating the same crap they already know. Oh and the same paper saying "representitive" and no actual lawyer that is a financial paper signing over money that they get the actual check and get to take whatever money they want. They send me papers too to have my dr fill out cause they don't send him papers either I guess. I think they are pretty much worthless. I'm waiting on a hearing and the well see. I at this point could really care less about them. Big mistake going with them. Leading people they have a lawyer to help when all they have is anyone hired off the street to do...what? I don't know. Really it is Social Securities fault at the root of it. It's a bullcrap thing they dottle and dottle and dottle. The system? hahaha Screw you all.
Myler took my case, I followed their procesing, went to two appts. Medical and memtal that were set up for me.no cost., I gave them the paper trail of illness I already had. My paperwork was processed and accepted in less than 6 months with no court appts or any out of pocket fees. They received $ 700 from my lump sum as agreed! !Two years have passed and I am finally getting my Medicare ( Government rules suck) since problems got worse but no problem with Myler. They were great!
This so called lawyer is a scam artist! my friend has waited over 10 years for a settlement which social security has already issued a payment card for, however has not received any payment as of yet. they never answer her calls to inquire or return a phone call. her case has been dragged out for ten years and nothing... I think he is receiving payment as her payee and she doesn't even know about it... lawyers are very manipulating and deceiving... she applied for help over ten years ago, his office sent a [censor] notice about a court date in early may 2017, and currently nothing about what happened in the court hearing... may 28, 2017... totally unprofessional and corrupt!
They are the WORST! No one EVER calls to discuss your ilness. I had the WORSE attorney ever to represent me in L.A. Do.yourself a favor an RUN from these guys they don't care.
I strongly agree. The so called "case managers" that changed so many times I stopped keeping track. Not only did they keep forgetting my name but they would have me repeat things over and over only to forget by the end of the call. They sounded like they were still in High School and kept asking about did I get my records from 2 years ago to send to them when my court case was days away.At that point I was told no lawyer had been assigned . When I went down to SSA I was informed that Myler had not submitted iany records in 2 years. I had been in the hospital for a month and a nursing home after that. Upon discharge I had faxed, mailed and called to confirm receipt of Hospital records/ A year later SSA says they had no records at all in the previous 2 years.The attorney that showed up for my ALG hearing knew absolutely nothing about my cate and told me not to bring up anything new such as being permanently crippled
After reading most of these comments I now understand why I been getting the run around from them. I was emailed some papers to take to my Dr and was told do this as quick as possible for they couldn't start my claim til the papers were signed and faxed back. It's been about a month now and I haven't heard from them yet. I have sent multiple emails that they never respond to so I am going a different route and saying screw Mylers!
Don't waste your time, they may have made me loose my benefits, canceled my case not even 24 hours before my court case was to be heard, I am so disappointed, but should have known better when they never took my case seriously anyway and to top it off they sent my a bill!
I feel like such an [censor] for letting them take my case, i also was dropped less then 24 hours before my case was to be in court with the lawyer claiming they were unable to speak! boy and to top it off they sent a bill that was due in 2 weeks! If they knew anything about me they would know I can't pay it!
I am now reading reviews. I hired them in Oct.. I talked to social security today and all Myler has done is claim to represent me. I called Myler and inquired on how they will represent me and was told nothing for now. They claim SS only allows them to inquire on my case for an update every 45 days. WHAT. I called SS back and they told me to go down to my SS Office and remove them from my case. That is exactly what I will do. BYE BYE MYLER
Indeed a horrible company! My son is schizoaffective, bipolar, panic and anxiety disorder, and ADHD. Do to shoddy records and lack of contact we are now awaiting a trial. They turned him down twice. I hold Medical, Mental and Durable POA's on him and wish Myler had never convinced him to give them his case.
They never go over the case. Many times files are missing.
Myler took my 100% LEGITIMATE case and I was awarded SSI in 1 and half months. NO COMPLAINTS FROM ME AT ALL. That was 6 years ago.
