What Our Clients Say About Us
She helped me through the difficult process. Very knowledgeable and very thorough with her work. Great experience.
It was wonderful to actually work with a person face-to-face to apply for and keep up with our disability applications. Both hubby and I were approved on our FIRST applications, though it took some time. Sheryl did status checks with the SSA for us and kept us informed. She even gave us information prior to when we received it from SSA, including medical appointments with their specific providers.
I highly recommend her services.
I can’t praise Sheryl Danner enough for her hard work and willingness to help fight for us. She was our advocate for over a year and was with us every step of the way. Her help made the process feel less scary and alleviated out anxiety completely. She didn’t stop fighting for us until we received a favorable decision. She is an expert at what she does and I think her service is one of the best-kept secrets in Kansas City. Call her today!
