At the Krebs Law Firm, we work hard for our clients who can no longer work for themselves. In fact, our detailed preparation is often what tips the scale in winning our cases. We’ve had several judges comment that no law firm is more prepared for a case than our office. We also prepare our clients for what to expect at their hearing and we’ll never lose a case due to lack of preparation and effort. Our main focus is on Workers Compensation, Social Security Disability and Personal Injury cases in Missouri and Arkansas. Because of the effort we put into each case, we are selective in choosing our clients. There is nothing better than winning a case for a client when we are confident they deserve those benefits. It’s very rewarding to know that we are literally providing benefits that can save their life when you consider the medical care available to Social Security disability recipients. Our main objective is getting to the heart of the issue. Going through hundreds of pages of medical records and uncovering the facts that are going to resonate with a judge to help win your case. One thing that makes our law firm different is that we actually write briefs for almost all our cases. Writing these briefs help our office prepare for the hearing by making certain we have reviewed the medical records extensively. This helps uncover the important details that can be used to illustrate our client's problems and how it affects their ability to work. We let you have a copy of your brief so you can see the work we’ve done to prepare for your case. We also place a heavy emphasis on client hearing preparation. We work through every possible question we can think of that the client will hear from the judge. Our clients tell us they feel better prepared heading into the courtroom by practicing their hearing. We don’t delegate this task to someone else in the office unlike some of our clients who have come to us after being represented by someone else and telling us they met their attorney for the first time moments before walking into their hearing. This hearing preparation not only prepares you for what to expect, but also how to answer. Many people are more reserved and while being the strong silent type might be admirable in the workplace, it can be a disaster when trying to convince the judge your problems are disabling. Discussing these complicated issues can be difficult initially, so talking through your problems multiple times can help you properly express yourself in the heat of the moment. A lot of scrutiny is given to the paperwork in a case, so our attorneys personally review your records so we can be on the lookout for things that we know a particular judge will focus on and help our clients prepare accordingly. We do our homework to prepare for your case and when you choose your attorney, you also need to do your homework and choose wisely. Cases that are lost initially can be appealed and overturned, but it’s much more difficult. So choose a law firm that works hard for you and has you prepared for your case to put the odds in your favor as much as possible.
