Bad don't trust him
An addendum to my previous review. Bruce didn't bother to make it clear even after all that had transpired that the lack of an appeal of the first decision would render all the previous evidence useless - we found that out when she went before the judge with her new lawyer. The judge was the one who informed us of the horrendous situation in which Bruce's lack of forthright behavior had placed us. The judge was very kind - she told my daughter that she knew she was disabled but unfortunately there was no recourse for us but to start all over AGAIN. I cannot say it enough - do NOT trust this man to look out for you. Find another lawyer fast.
Positively the worst legal experience imaginable. If I could give a minus star I would. My youngest daughter went to Bruce Haught for assistance with her disability claim. He had helped my older daughter - they both have genetic disabilities - so he was the obvious choice for my younger daughter also. She went through the long process to get to the point where she would have her hearing. All of the professional people who reviewed her case agreed she was disabled - but the judge decided she could "roll silverware in a restaurant" and she denied the case. Mr. Haught was as surprised by this as we were but he said we had choices. 1) We could appeal the decision but he did not work with appeals and we would need to get a new lawyer or 2) we could start over with him which would take another three years. We believed he was working in her best interest so we chose to stay with him. Three years later, as we are preparing for the next hearing, we asked his office staff if they had everything necessary for the hearing - (medical history, physicians recommendations, etc.) as we had been providing them with constant updates during this entire time and the young lady informed us they were only filing for three months disability. Needless to say that was a shock to us. I asked Bruce to call me and explain to me what was going on. It was at that time that he told us that when we did not appeal the first decision, that rendered all that previous history moot - in essence we "agreed" with the decision. NOT SO and when I asked just why we were only now hearing about this, his defense was "someone in my office should have told you." My response was NO - YOU are the lawyer and YOU should have made this clear to your client. The bottom line is that my daughter is still fighting for her disability and when I say fight that is what it is. She needed the disability so she could get the medical treatment - she can't work, so how is she supposed to amass a whole new history of medical treatment records? It's been an uphill battle for the entire family. My advise to anyone who has the misfortune of believing Bruce Haught has their best interest at heart is to be sure you get EVERYTHING in writing and make sure he THOROUGHLY explains the ramifications of any thing he recommends to you. My best advise is get another lawyer!
I really have had no issues yet and 8 hope 8 don't I was denied initially as we all know that's gonna happen. He immediately filed a appeal for.me.now.iv been denied again. So we will see I called his office today they were out to lunch I left a detailed message and I'm now waiting for a return call I'm keeping my fingers crossed I really need this to go through I'm sinking here. Please help
This man is a joke he was not prepared for my video confrance and the things we talked about going into the hearing he did not address if i could give him no stars I would also looking at a bar complaint.
