Job well done! Even though it took
longer than I thought it would. My 1st
order of
Thanks Dan for making all of this
possible . It must really warm your
heart and make you feel good knowing you
are providing such a service to the
downtrodden such as myself . God bless
you Dan Bernath !! Stay in touch will
you? I always enjoyed conversing with
you !
Dan Bernath was my attorney. Dan Bernath worked his tail off for me and my wife and I really appreciate all he has done for us. I was very pleased and grateful to Dan Bernath because he did a wonderful job for us. The old lawyer was Merrill Schneider and I fired him. I fired him because he went past a deadline and I had to notify him two or three different times. He finally got it figured out but we were close to having start all over again! Dan kept me informed. Dan worked hard to get me my benefits early. That is something that Schneider would not have done. I would definitely recommend Dan Bernath as a disability lawyer and if I hear of anyone else caught in that Social Security paper mill I would definitely give him Dan’s name and number. I want Dan Bernath to get all the attorney fees and Merrill Schneider to get none of them.

Attorney Bernath really demonstrated his expertise when dealing with the Social Security Disability Judges, etc. He is very professional and guided me through this complicated ordeal. He is a master at what he does and experienced at what he knows. Daniel Bernath is very honest and outspoken and you get the feeling right away you can put your trust in him! He gave me the best news ever for Christmas, that is,AN APPROVAL LETTER!, Sincerely Diane Jones, A VERY HAPPY CLIENT.
After researching your background with my husband, I truly feel that
I now have a chance to not only live to see my children grow up, but to
gain the resources and acceptance I need to have a semi-livable quality
of life.
My old Lawyer David Lowry, made me feel useless and alone. He didn't care. After
we read how your veteran father and his situation, called you into this
work of helping people get Social Security disability.
I read about attorney Dan
Bernath's standing
up to Bi Mart and the Tigard Police. KUDOS!!! I can't believe
after news report after news report of disabled soldiers coming home to
bad health care and having to fight for the benefits they deserve, that
Bi Mart would have the unmitigated gall to fill their handicapped
parking space (one of the few considerations they're given) with Dirt!
Anyway, I just wanted to say I am fortunate to have you care for my case
and my family. Thank you-I've gotta throw up now- Linda
I just
read about the
I am now even
more proud to TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE MY ATTORNEY.

Never have I received such good fortune through the work of a man...that I've never even met!!! THANK YOU for everything you did on my behalf. I love your style! JF "Hi Daniel I don't know if I didn't or not. But, I wanted to call and say thank you. You did a real good thing for me. It's very nice of you. Don't call back. This is just a thank you very much. This is Tim S, you have a good day I hope and thanks again. I can't thank you enough. "
Thank you very much for getting me
disability benefits. My Fibromyalgia and PTSD have been truly
devastating to my life. But you were able to get me full benefits
for the "unseen illnesses." when others would not even try. Please
accept this as a sign of appreciation for your truly caring help.
I'm so happy to have you fighting for me, I'm just not wired to be aggressive or brutal, more feminine -they eat me up. a major factor in why I like your style, very smart, experienced, manly, aggressive, a total package.

Hi Attorney Dan ,
Well it took a long time, but we prevailed didn't we? (denial at court, denial at Appeals Council, win at US District Court, win at social security court)
 You won for my friend Clyde and me . I hope you complete the trifecta by winning for my other friend Mary Jo M .) Then you can retire . Ha.
Your #1 fan ,
To: Attorney Daniel Alan Bernath at Christmas: Thanks for being so empowering. Just what a girl needs for the holidays. The best to you, we have hopes of a stress free holiday filled with love and inner joy (one can always fake outer joy). K and D Spokane Washington **** Daniel, Thank
you for your willingness to take on my case and work hard for me. May
your Christmas be bright and Merry. **** **** Erica,
Gresham Oregon I never met with or spoke with attorney Merrill Schneider. I saw his advertisement on the television and he said “Free Consultation.” He can’t charge me now for what his advertisement then said was “free.” I set up an appointment with my friend R and myself to meet with Merrill Schneider. We met at his office and met with Nicole Schneider. I was with her for 30 minutes-the free consultation he advertises. I never heard from Nicole Schneider or Merrill Schneider, again. I never heard from anyone at his office. I called him at least once a month. They were always never in the office. The receptionist said, “can I have your name and number and they’ll call you back” but no one ever called me back and I called them once a month. I hired Schneider so that he would look into my case. When I first met with Nicole and I told her that Victims Services of Oregon paid me for a whole year and she said, “then your case is a slam dunk.” I thought that he and she would then do an OTR-that is, get the case decided in my favor without me having to wait for a hearing because it was so obvious that I was disabled. That’s what Nicole Schneider said-it was a “slam dunk.:” I believed he and she would work on that but they did nothing and my case just sat on his shelf. I now find that he did not obtain any of my medical records and it appears to be negligence that they did not get me my benefits by just getting my medical records and showing them to a judge (an OTR) without making me wait for a hearing. When I fired Schneider and I said I wanted my medical records, he replied that he didn’t have ANY medical records. So all that time I thought he was working on my case but it was just sitting on a shelf collecting dust at his office. When I hired Dan Bernath as my lawyer, I noticed a big difference. I spoke with Bernath all the time, he kept me informed about everything. He answered his phone personally and didn’t use a secretary or receptionist to hide behind. Bernath got me a hearing in five months. Schneider did not send me any letters to tell me what was going on filing papers, how to get things done, how to prepare- he didn’t send me squat. Bernath did real good in preparing the case for trial. I got paperwork on how to get medical records, how the whole disability thing works at Social Security court, how I can best testify to show the judge my condition and had many discussions with Bernath on strategy, how to handle myself at the hearing and what was expected to win benefits. I knew I didn’t have to worry because Bernath was working on my behalf day after day. I really was impressed at how attorney Bernath pulled every detail of my medical problems out of me in testimony. Bernath said at the hearing that “Judge Jones runs a tight ship” and still I watched Bernath get it all on the record, quickly and professionally. When I got emotional at one point in the hearing or when I didn’t quite answer a question, Bernath was very good at politely and quickly getting me back on track. Bernath did a very good job in cross examining the vocational expert in that the last thing said in the hearing was that I was disabled and could not work. I thought that was a good thing that Bernath did that in having the vocational expert say that as the last thing said at the hearing for the judge to hear. Attorney Bernath has changed my life. I am very proud of attorney Daniel Alan Bernath. DG Jr., Portland Ore. Regarding your letter to me explaining my Social Security Disability rights, I found your letter quite professional. the information you gave me went beyond anything my ex-attorney had sent to me. Thank you for helping me understand how to go about retrieving information (for free) from the doctors I have seen. JLB, Portland

My name is Allen. You represented me about a year and 1/2 ago I think, and I just saw your commercial on TV, and I realized that I had never called you back, and thanked you for doing such a good job, and you did things expeditiously, and you just couldn't have done a better job and I thank you, and that's all I called to say. Thank you. Bye." Congratulations to both of us. We received a short notice by mail today, stating the appointment (for the duplicative and dangerous medical test by DHS) is cancelled (after your letter to DHS and the judge). I do not have to attend an unnecessary test, of which I am fearful.
You are the first
Social Security Attorney that has done anything for my benefit. For
this we are grateful.
On
Valentine's day, I received a Notice of Decision-Fully Favorable
from SSA.
 I'm not sure if it was a gesture of goodwill that it came on that day or coincidental ~ Thanks you attorney Daniel Bernath for your good work in making this happen.

BERNATH I JUST WANTED TO DROP YOU A NOTE TO SAY (THANK YOU) FOR YOUR HELP. I KNOW WAITING IS JUST PART OF THE SS BS . WE JUST RECEIVED A FORECLOSURE NOTICE SINCE WE CANT KEEP UP WITH OUR MORTGAGE SINCE I CANT WORK OR GET SOCIAL SECURITY TO DATE. I'VE SOLD ALL I CAN EVEN PERSONAL CRAP ETC. MY HEART SURGERY IN 2005 DRAINED OUR SAVINGS. MY WIFE WORKS HER BUTT OFF BUT A FAMILY IN TODAY'S COST OF LIVING SHE CANT KEEP UP. IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY PEOPLE IN MY FATE HAVEN'T GONE POSTAL AGAINST SOCIAL SECURITY ? I WISH UPON ALL INVOLVED WITH SOCIAL SECURITY THE SAME FATE AND PAIN AS SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF ! I TRULY WISH SUFFERING AND LOSS OF THEIR HOMES FOR THEM AND THEIR KIDS... THERE IS NO WORDS TO EXPRESS THE ANGER I HAVE TOWARDS THEM FOR THIS OUTRAGE OF A GOVERNMENT PLAN TO (HELP) US. (FUCK YOU SOCIAL SECURITY FUCK YOU) HOW CAN AN EMPLOYEE AT SS SLEEP AT NIGHT ? THEY MUST HAVE A EMPTY SOUL....... OUTRAGE IS A GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT OUTRAGE ! TELLING SOMEONE THAT CAN'T WALK OR SIT WITHOUT MORPHINE THAT THEIR HANDS WORK FINE SO GET A ASSEMBLY JOB ....LOL IM ON TV RIGHT ? CANDID CAMERA ? PUNKED ? NO ONE COULD BE THAT CRUEL RIGHT ?
