Social Security is a process, but if you wait patiently in the process and continue to give them the information they need they will be right by your side. I just had my social security hearing. I'm not sure of the results yet, but I do know that Gretchen and Stephanie did an excellent job. They were very professional. I had over 3,000 pants off records. They looked through all of it. They were very friendly. They did a good job of explaining things for someone like me who had a hard time understanding these things. Thank you for all you did. Fingers crossed about the results.

Good people ❣️

Very nice people

Very knowledgeable and responsive local law firm. It is very clear that they truly care about their clients, and work very hard to advocate for the benefits their clients deserve.

I would highly recommend Schott Mauss & Associates for your social security disability needs. They were there for me from beginning to end and got the job done, thanks!

They helped me get me SSD at a timely manner and talked me through everything .

I highly recommend Schott Mauss. They really care about their clients and work hard to get what's best for them!

Have had a very strange experience so far. The legal assistant handling my case has shown thinly disguised contempt for disability aplicants. She told me they ‘encourage people to work’ when I said I don’t have enough savings left to survive a fourteen month wait (her estimate) for my appeal. I hope at least my lawyer wants to win. Maybe all anyone cares about in this business at the end of the day is the money. Ironic, isn’t it?

I contacted Schott Mauss & Associates for my disability claim. Shannon Schuehle was assigned my case. She was great! She answered my questions and guided me through the whole process. Schott Mauss is very thorough and I would recommend them to anyone looking for help with their disability claims.

Very good service and caring attorneys

Great, personable and efficient law firm.

Awesome experience with attorney Gretchen and her assistant Stephanie

James Colwell was my attorney and he was amazing and all the staff there.
Very professional and on the ball. Very different from my first attorney's try. There's a reason why there the top Disability Law Attorneys
They are the best and will go to bat for you.
Thank you so much.

I am very lucky to have Gretchen Jensen as my attorney when I needed her expertise for my disability claim. It was a difficult and emotional time, but it was completed with professionalism and attention to detail.

They were help from the first call. It was easy from the start. Shannon was there and usually called back if I did had a questions the same day.
She was very clear about what I needed to do and I. Personsonable, knows what she's doing and does it very well. I won my case

Thank you so much Shannon ❤️ for going above and beyond to get me my income back and for doing it all pro-bono since I have no back pay coming, I cannot say enough good things about this firm. Highly recommend!!!

Very knowledgeable of there business.

Excellent attorneys.

This team of attorneys are passionate about helping their clients. It is refreshing to see a team so dedicated to their work and who truly care about the individuals they serve.

Knowledgeable attorneys and friendly support staff who do everything within the bounds of the law to help their clients.

My experience wasn’t so great. After waiting for almost 2 years my case was denied. So the attorney called me and told me that the judge denied my case and everything was my fault. If you appeal we will lose. Even though the ALJ report wasn’t correct.

I wouldn’t use this service.

Good places to get advice

I give the associates of this law firm a very high rating. They requested all of the pertinent info for my disability case and organized it in such a fashion that once the hearing date arrived, we were all ready and received a favorable decision. Rest assured, this firm will do what needs to be done to win your case.

Welling to take your case, pleasant

Until Schott Maids & Associates helped me WIN my SSI and DISABILITY I THINK MY LIFE WAS OVER. THEY GOT ME MY MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELSE FELL INTO PLACE. SAVED MY SANITY and MY LIFE.

I need to add more stars!!! After having two denials of my SSDI benefits application, I contacted SM&A for assistance. Shannon Schuehle & Julie Parson were absolutely wonderful to work with from the get-go. Each was so patient with all of the questions my husband & I had via emails and phone calls thru the entire process. And their hard work lead to success -- an approval for benefits! I highly recommend this firm -- especially Shannon & Julie -- for anyone in need of legal assistance when working with the Social Security Administration.

Schott Mauss & Associates did a great job of representing me, namely Shannon Schuehle ~ she took me seriously and treated me with great respect. I was very scared of the SSDI hearing, but she walked me right through it so I'd know what to expect. Very helpful. I highly recommend Schott Mauss & Associates to anyone needing help.

Great customer support and service. The whole office treated me with respect and dignity. Gave fair and honest information about all aspects of my case's with Worker's compensation benefits and Social security disability benefits. With Iowa's law's changing during my case's they had the knowledge and experience to help guide me.
I felt like I had the best team by my side.

The whole firm is so very helpful in all the aspects of helping me. I would recommend their services to anyone.

I had a "Big Time" attorney's office from Huston TX. that advertised they would get me my Social Security Disability done and had a great record of winning claims. Well after almost 3 years later they said they were done and had gone as far as they could go for my claim.
Called Schott Mauss & association in Des Moines and they said I have a strong case and within 4 months SSD agreed and I am receiving monthly disability payments.
Very personable and care about you. I would recommend for anyone trying to get SSD.

Over the years I have had the chance to refer many clients to Max Schott for Social Security disability issues and they have always been so pleased with his work.

Max and his staff will listen to you, really dig in to your case and help you get your best result. I strongly encourage anyone in Iowa to entrust your social security disability or workers compensation case to Max!
