Had a legal issue with an insurance claim that was obviously being stalled on their end. Statute of Limitations was approaching. Contacted Calbom-Schwab and Attorney Courtney Bastian went directly to work with the facts and information. The matter was resolved very quickly. Courtney also discovered some fine print in the policy that the insurance company wasn't sharing with us. We prevailed. Legal assistant Cynthia kept us up to date on the progress from beginning to end. Great service and communication throughout the entire process. This firm is top of the line. Highly recommended.

Calbom & Schwab did an incredible job helping me navigate my disability claim. After multiple denials, Jeffrey Schwab and his team took my case and walked me through every step to get an approval. This was such a huge relief after being judged and discriminated against. They were always in communication and answered my questions quickly. Jeffrey was understanding and compassionate about my situation and provided great support. He and his staff were always friendly and patient with me. I would recommend his services to anyone having a difficult time with the disability process. Thank you so much!

After almost eight years and many failed attempts to get my son the benefits he deserved, I wanted to find someone who would not only fight for my son’s rights, but who would treat him with compassion, patience, and understanding. Jeffrey Schwab turned out to be that person, and what a gift to have him in our corner! About five minutes into our first meeting I knew we had made a perfect choice for legal representation. Jeffrey spoke to my son in terms he could understand, patiently answering his questions, and then asked many of his own in order to get to know my son’s daily struggles. It is evident that Jeffrey Schwab actually cares about his clientele and has more than a vested interest in their wellbeing and treatment. My son and I had felt so powerless against the agencies that were supposed to be helping us but doing their utmost not to. We were discouraged and frustrated. Jeffrey was a breath of fresh air in a world that seemed to simply not care one ounce for my son or his difficulties. Every step of the way was explained to us in terms both of us could understand. After every meeting or phone call Jeffrey asked if my son had any questions, and then patiently answered those questions. Jeffrey Schwab made us feel like he had all the time in the world for us and never once made my son feel stupid or unwelcome. The night before our early morning hearing, Jeffrey called to explain what was going to happen in detail, and there were no surprises. Jeffrey Schwab and his assistant Jennifer are organized, knowledgeable, and experts in their field. They are obviously driven by their compassion for the marginalized and underserved, and we are lucky to have them.

Thank you very much for this kind review. Helping the injured and disabled obtain justice, to be heard, is the passion of my professional life. I am grateful that you and your adult son chose our law firm, that you gave me the privilege of your trust and the opportunity to know both of you better. I wish a better future for both of you. Sincerely, Jeff

After 2 failed attempts, on my own, at acquiring Social Security Disability, I received a recommendation, from a friend, to hire Jeff Schwab for my case. Jeff Schwab and his team have gone above and beyond for my case. It has taken a couple years, but he and his team never gave up and were there to support me all the way. Jeff explaines the process thouroly, made sure all my questions were answered, and if I emailed or left a voice mail I always received a response within 24 hours. Jeff took the time to get to know me and my situation. He took time and reviewed all 1700+ pages of my medical documents and in the hearings knew exactly what to present and how to present it. I would recommend Jeff Schwab to anyone that is struggling to acquire Social Security Disability, he knows what he is doing and he will work his hardest for you.

Just wanted to take a minute and talk about my dealings with Calbom & Schwab; specifically with Jeffrey Schwab. As someone who has been judged, mocked, attacked, and discriminated against, for being different than the status quo, I wasn’t sure how the process of dealing with my hearing would go. I was ready to feel judged, but instead, from the first call, I was greeted by someone genuinely friendly, who treated me like I was a person. And instead of only dealing with Mr Schwab’s assistant, I was able to talk to him directly He explained the entire process in terms I could understand. Every other call was the same; he always ended each call by asking if I had questions and answering them all. On the morning of the hearing Mr Schwab called me and went over what was about to happen during the hearing, reassuring me. And he called me after the hearing and explained all the lawyer speak that just occurred. I genuinely had no idea how this process was going to look.But, I can say now, no one could have convinced me it would go as well as it did. Nor that I would I remember this difficult process as favorably as I do. Thank you for everything you’ve done, and for going above and beyond.

Darrin, thank you very much for this kind review. It is my greatest honor to represent the injured and disabled, to empower every client who has been made to feel powerless by others, and to care about each and every client and hopefully improve their lives.
