A. Chronic hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, or

Mr. Ortiz and Tiffanie were absolutely fantastic! The communication was perfect and they are some of the most pleasant people I have talked to. I didnt even feel like I was talking to lawyers or paralegals because that's how great they are at their jobs and at just being good people! I never thought I had a chance to win my SSI/DIS case, but they got me prepared and WE WON!! Thank you guys so much from the bottom of my heart!
