Client Testimonials

David Hankus has been the best attorney I had worked with. I was a child on disability that aged out and was cut off. When I reapplied at 18 they denied me. Not knowing what to do, I just let it go until I was 22. When I found Mr. Hankus at 22 after I had been denied benefits again, he took my case and not only did he win, but he got them to back pay until I was 18. What an awesome job! I'm still giving referrals for him today, 10 years later! -Nicole

Mr. Hankus was extremely helpful in getting my Social Security disability approved.  I was denied benefits when I applied.  I contacted Mr. Hankus based on a referral of a friend.   He agreed to represent me and handled all the paperwork in filing for an appeal.  He represented me at my hearing and I was successful in getting my benefits thanks to Mr. Hankus.  I was extremely satisfied with the services provided.  He was very professional and I will recommend him to others seeking disability from Social Security. -Lori (Davison, MI)

Mr. Hankus is a very good disability lawyer, and he helped me get my SSD quick and easy. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good lawyer. I had originally applied and I was denied.

Mr. Hankus with his expertise has once again succeeded by winning my disability case.  His exemplary representation surpasses all others.  He is knowledgeable and professional.  A very kind man with genuine compassion for his work and clients.

After being denied, we contacted a local attorney. He said we would have to do all the the refiling and research of documents and he'd consider the case.

I was very happy with the service and knowledge I received from Attorney David Hankus and his staff. In fact I received approval the first time I applied. Thank you Mr. Hankus. -Esther (Grand Rapids, MI)

I was initially denied Social Security Benefits and actually tried contacting someone else, who referred me to Mr Hankus.   What a blessing that turned out to be.  My first lawyer dropped me real quick, but Mr Hankus reviewed my case and took off running with it.  It may have taken us 4 years (or more) to get through all the appeals, but Mr Hankus stood by me and I had complete trust in him, and we eventually won.  I cannot thank Mr Hankus enough, throughout this whole process he kept me informed and kept my spirits high even though I was giving up hope.  He never lost faith.  I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me.  I will definitely be sending more clients his way!!!!  Thank you SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Steven (Clinton Twp., MI)

Contacting David Hankus was the best decision in receiving Social Security benefits! Everyone else gave me the run-around, filling out papers over and over.

I was told about this law office by a co-worker and Rachel was great. Whenever I had a question about my SSD the didn't hesitate to take my call and answer my questions. It took about 5 and a half months to get my SSD. I did see 2 doctors per SSD request, one about half hour away and one here in my town. These people are great. Everything is done over the phone and if they need to go to court they will come to you. I recommend any of the people in this office for any disability claims. -Ronda (Kimball, MI)

Thanks to David Hankus, he didn't give up on my fight for my Disability Benefits. I couldn't have been in better hands than his. He treated me as a disabled person and my case with respect and dignity. I know without his knowledge and support I could not have succeeded. I will always remember and appreciate his tireless, hard work for me despite my not being able to pay him what he earned and deserved. I didn't know a lawyer in my life until Mr. Hankus, I was frightened every step of the way. He carried me mentally and physically so to speak on his back through every step while fighting for me with the court system. I will highly recommend him for the rest of my life. Thank you. -Cheryl (St. Clair Shores, MI)

I would recommend Mr. Hankus to anyone serious about a favorable outcome. -Annette (Sault Ste. Marie, MI)

Looking for a Social Security Disability Attorney is a stressful experience. I researched attorneys. I called several of the big names (you know, the ones who advertise twenty-four seven?). All I received from those calls was a headache with a large side of frustration. Finally, when I was at my wits end, I found a review for the Law Offices of David Hankus. "Friendly...compassionate...professional....understanding...." Crossing my fingers I dialed the number. Rachel Pinch, another attorney at the firm, answered the phone. Her friendly voice, calm spirit and professionalism impressed me. She listened and was very empathetic. Her response was soothing and just what I needed. Following our conversation I didn't hesitate. I hired her and it was the best decision I ever made. Negotiating the system takes time and patience. There is no quick fix. The average wait for a court date in Michigan is 12 to 24 months (no matter who you are or who you hire). Therefore, you'll need someone who will treat you with dignity and respect no matter how many questions you ask. No matter how nervous you become. Or, how impatient you feel. When we went to court, the judge was impressed with how organized and professional Rachel was. He was quick to note she had everything ready for his review BEFORE the court date (something he stated NEVER happens). Who could ask for better representation than that? Not me! She dotted her i's and crossed her t's. Without a doubt her due diligence won me my case. She also won my respect, as well as the judges! Need I say more? Thanks for all your hard work Rachel! 🙂 -Kim

I just appreciate Mr. Hankus, this has been a very long hard process for me, but Mr. Hankus helped me and prepared me for my hearing, and we won my disability, i would recommend him to anyone who needs a disability lawyer... -Eva (Belleville, MI)

After a very long, hard fought battle, Mr. Hankus won my case. He ensured I understood every step of the process and thoroughly explained all options as they arose. Even after the decision finally went in our favor, he has continued to keep me informed of the procedure following a decision. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is entitled to disability and feels as though the system is against them. His thorough knowledge of the laws and hearings process is second to none. -Beth (L'Anse, MI)

He did a great job helping me get my disability, my thanks for all his help -Ken (Marquette, MI)
