After a lifetime of hard work in blue collar jobs I was suddenly laid off due to my heart going bad. I found myself unemployed and, sadly, unemployable at the age of 44 and with four children, one of which is severely disabled and will require lifetime care. Ms. Thiry had helped a friend get her Disability Benefits and me, not knowing anything about how to find a lawyer for myself, contacted Ms. Thiry to discuss my case. I was totally lost, despondent. I felt like my life was over. The shame of not being able to provide for my family was crippling. I began to look into how my family would be provided for if I passed. It was bad. ​ ​From the onset Renee was very compassionate and beyond helpful, as was her entire staff. Anytime I had a question it was answered quickly. She explained the process to me, was honest about the time it would take, and the difficulties of my case because of my age. Looking back, I think it was her hope and encouragement that sustained me, because I had none of my own. I was awarded Full Disability, and my back pay was set six entire months before I thought it would be. I don't know how that happened, but I am grateful to Ms. Thiry for making it so. I have my life back now and, with whatever time I have left I can concentrate on making quality memories with my children. That would not be the case if not for Ms. Thiry's considerable attention to my claim and the dedication of her staff. I consider her a family friend now and highly recommend her. Were it not for her keen legal mind, good heart, and professionalism I have no idea where I would be now, or if I even would be. From the bottom of my (malfunctioning) heart, thank you Renee Thiry. You were my angel when me and my family needed one the most.
