CLIENT SUCCESS STORY: Johnston helps Polish immigrant get Social Security Disability benefits he deserved

Peter L. Johnston, Esquire successfully represents Polish immigrant in Social Security Disability Claim. After immigrating to the United States in the 1970’s, his client worked as a physical laborer due to his lack of English skills and level of education. After working hard for more than thirty years, he developed severe varicosity in his legs leading to chronic pain which denied him his ability to work as a laborer. The Social Security Administration initially denied his claim for disability benefits. However, Mr. Johnston took his case and successfully represented him on his appeal in which he was awarded the benefits he deserved going forward plus a lump sum payment of more than $38,000 for back-due benefits.
