Case of the Week: 5/26/06

County: Marion
Age: 74

Our client contacted us after having visited a dentist for a bridge. The dentist had begun the process of getting her a bridge. A mold of her mouth was already made and she was wearing temporaries. Unfortunately, her dentist passed away. The client made several, unsuccessful attempts to contact the dentist office regarding her bridge work. Since she was having trouble and she needed her bridge, she contacted us. I sent the office a letter asking that they give her the bridge, so that she can go to another dentist to have the work completed. I gave a deadline of May 22. The office contacted our client on May 22 and offered to have another dentist complete the bridgework at no extra charge.

This client contacted after he had contracted with a construction company to replace his screen door. In the process of replacing the screen door, the frame and main door were damaged. Our client could barely use the door. I sent the construction company a letter requesting that they repair the damage they caused. 10 days later, the construction company went back to the client's home and repaired the damage. Our client is happy. He paid a total of $1266 for the job and is now satisfied with the results.

Case of the Week: 5/5/06

County: Cabell
Age: 64

Our client received a notice from Social Security that she received an overpayment in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments and would have to repay a total of $3494. I researched her issue and reviewed her legal position. I explained that she could request a waiver of the overpayment. We discussed possible arguments and strategies. After requesting the waiver, she was happy to learn that Social Security granted it. She is relieved that she does not have to pay back the $3494.
