Donald E. Bartholomew, Attorney,JD,MS (Maj,USA,Ret)

Idk how this man and his wonderful staff get it all done so well with such little time in the day. I have referred many people to his office and they all have been grateful that they appointed him. He is also very thorough and will be making sure you do what is necessary to make sure your case is strong and is honest and asks the same of you. He goes above and beyond to explain it all to you and cares about his work and knows it effects people's lives and takes that seriously. All social security attorneys get paid the same fees but not all work as hard as Mr. Bartholomew and his staff. They give it to you straight and don't sugar coat it. Cases go through a lot of steps and take time in the courts, so there's no instant gratification and require patience through the process. He knows the process and is very knowledgeable about the law and is a good person that you can trust to guide you through to winning your case and improving your life. No regrets.

As someone who has personal experience with this office, please do not go here with your SSI case. Once you sign an agreement with them, the communication stops. I would call asking questions about my case and never get a call back. As someone who now understands this process, here are some practical words of advice. 1. Go to Health and Human Services and get a free list of all of the local advocates. 2. Do not hire an attorney unless you have already been denied and are waiting for a hearing with the judge. 3. If you are not due for a hearing yet, Heath and Human Services has people who will help you for FREE that are awesome. 4. If you are the advocate for a disabled person, never let them go into this office alone. Once paperwork is signed, you are stuck with Mr. Bartholomew. The SSI process takes time, but do yourself a favor and do not allow this office to represent you! For further evidence, take the time to read what he says about the people who give him a bad review. I think that says a great deal about the character of this man.

I work for Hill Country Clinic and have referred at least 5 people to this man. All the feedback I have received back from those I have referred have been positive and I will continue to refer the people I come in contact with to Mr. Bartholomew.

He Represented me on my SSD claim. I ended up loosing my case because MR Bartholomew did not do a lot of what he was supposed to do. He used foul language. He is very moody and in my opinion he is lazy when it comes to doing his part in winning SSD cases. I would not recommend him at all
