After a whole month of waiting on a return call, he was rude and abrupt, trying to simply check the boxes without even understanding what my area of issue was. Then, after rudely interrupting me for about the 5th time, I asked with all due respect if I could just please explain my actual need. He interrupted again, not even familiar with VA policy and regulation. We couldn't even get to the actual need, which was federal tort assistance because he kept assuming he knew right away what was needed, and it was not. To cut to the chase, he had absolutely no clue about VA matters, yet they advertise as if they can help you go against the VA in a lawful manner. I was just baffled at how little he knew! I just gave up and told him he has no idea what he is doing and to have a good day. Regardless of the issue, take a look at their horribly written website. They should hire me to edit. WARNING: Veterans looking for assistance should not reach out to this firm.

If you want to win your case, Wener and Associates is your go to. I had a difficult case and was turned down every time. I turned to Wener and Associates for my last breath appeal. I met with Michael, who was so knowledgeable and professional. Even the SSA lady told me how impressed she was with Michael’s knowledge. He was kind and gave me hope. Leanne handled the hearing. She had a lot of prior experience working for SSA and it showed. Leanne was so well-prepared that in 5 minutes she had answered all of the judge’s questions, complete with document referral numbers, and my case was successful. Thanks to Leanne’s amazing preparation, knowing exactly what the judge needed, I was not even asked a question. This team at Wener and Associates is the best. And, as you would expect, their staff is very nice and helpful. I just cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Michael, Leanne, and team.

I would not recommend them to anybody. If you have issues you will NOT recieve any help. They got paid and I still haven't, can't get any help and it's been 4 mos and I'm still trying to get my back pay

Reply from the firm

I’m sorry you feel we have not helped you. The last we spoke 2 months ago I advised you of the next steps and have not heard from you since so I believed you had been paid. Please contact the office Monday so we can look into the issue further.
