Elk & Elk is the best to work with. I needed help with my case and they not only fought with me, but they went above and beyond for me.It was such a pleasure to be their client and have them on my side. I dont think I would of gotten a better ending to my case without them. Mr. Kraft and Mr. Bowers were always in contact with me and if I reached out to them, they responded within 24 hours. They made sure that I had all I needed to report, understand what the process was going to be, did their research, and made sure that I understood each part of the process. They even contacted me to be sure I was not having any issues afterwards. I HIGHLY recommend going with Elk &Elk. 100% Google Review

Highly recommend this law firm for their tireless work on my disability case. Scott Bowers and Martin Kraft kept me apprised every step of the way and answered every question I asked. They did a wonderful job for me in what is an arduous process when dealing with the Social Security Administration. I cannot thank Messrs Bowers and Kraft for their dedication to me and to my case.

I took a shot at applying for SSDI on my own, unsuccessfully. When I got to the Hearing phase, I hired Elk and Elk (Martin Kraft). That was successful. Hiring them at the beginning might have shortened the process and reduced the stress.
