  • Testimonials

    “I am a US Army veteran and spent two frustrating years trying to fight for my SSD benefits alone. I expressed my concern at the bus stop one day to another vet who immediately recommended Mr. Armstrong. His office happened to be right off Central and easily accessible by ABQ Ride. His staff welcomed me and put my mind at ease. Mr. Armstrong was professional and direct and made me feel comfortable during my initial interview. When he told me he would represent me I knew that I had someone trustworthy and knowledgeable having my back. He kept meticulous records and always kept me in the loop. He prepared and coached me for my hearing never leaving out a detail all the way down to "take out your nose ring"! The judge made a fully favorable decision two weeks later.”

    “After being denied twice I called Mr. Armstrong. He was very respectful & a true professional. He was thorough in explaining the process & never failed to answer any questions. On the day of my hearing I was having an especially bad day but he was supportive & compassionate enough for me to feel comfortable about proceeding. I was able to get my disability approved & wish I had called him sooner.”
