All I can say is Thank gosh for Ryan at McGinty, Belcher, & Hamilton!
In 2016 I applied myself for SSD & of course was denied. I found MB&H law firm completely by luck through the phone book. From my first contact with Ryan and his staff, they impressed me with their professionalism, kindness & patience with all of my many questions/concerns. They did an excellent job, both in ensuring all information that is required was gathered and providing regular contact to update/inform me of case status as well as checking on the status of my health. Ryan and his staff walked me through the process and kept me informed all through the lengthy disability determination process.
In 2019 Ryan accompanied me to my meeting in front of the Admin. Judge and although I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious, Ryan made me feel comfortable explaining (again) the process and provided some much needed &very much-welcomed distractions in order to lessen my nervousness.
I will refer everyone to this amazing firm by letting them know of the outstanding work Ryan and his staff have provided to me over the 3+ years it took to
WIN MY DISABILITY CASE!!!
You guys totally rock, and Ryan I still owe you a BIG hug!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I suffer from debilitating anxiety and mental health issues, as well as a lifetime of physical disability. I was referred by an attorney i trusted to work with Mr.Mcginty specifically. Unfortunately he is no longer practicing so i gave it my all and tried to speak with Mr. Belcher. Biggest mistake ive made so far. Not only was he rude and inconsiderate of my issues, he blatently disregarded my disability and anxiety that i stated over and over he was creating with his abrupt rudeness on the phone. The way he disregarded what i had to say and snapped at me was absolutely unprofessional and extremely insensitive. I do not recommend dealing with this man, and I should have listened to the attorney that referred me when she said ONLY MCGINTY. Insensitivity has no place in a SSI disability practice. Its extremely disheartening to be treated that way when you are desperate for help. If i could give negative stars i absolutely would. Shame on you!

Couldn’t get my foot in the door. He wouldn’t even let me explain the depth of my claim. He just hung up without listening to me. Like the last Attorney I had in a near fatal wreak did, my former attorney blew me off when I told him I would see him disbarred, and guess what I did? I did exactly that. I sent that disbarred Attorney to Jail, and sued his legal malpractice insurance policy and won, so much for not listening to me, I’d look else where for an attorney who will listen to a prospective clients background...first fully! After all, the last Attorney who laughed at the idea of me disbarring him, is now a convicted felon...and I did so all by making the BAR prosecute one of their own for theft of client funds in my near fatal car wreak. So I’m not one to blow off easily like so many Attorneys do in disability cases. Look else where for legal assistance in disability is my surmise.

Unfortunately it is not entirely clear from their advertising that McGinty, or Belcher, one or the other, has a son who is practicing Social Security advocacy. It is the Sun that my daughter and I visited, to talk about her social security claim. Of course, the process takes a long time, and in our case the longer the better. I still have trouble believing that my own daughter is mentally Disturbed. She is angry much of the time, but she was very good with mr. Belcher. Ryan was very kind, and let us to believe that he was sincerely interested in helping her, should that be her best option. We talked about options, and he told my daughter what she could do to improve her chances. However, he did not send us any confirming letter. With his office resources, I would think that would be standard practice. I presume we received copies when we left, but he did not send us a confirming letter and closing copies of the documents he had, and telling us which documents he needed to pursue her case diligently. Too much responsibility was placed upon my daughter, without any assistance in the way of a list, or a letter of instructions. I would recommend that they follow up each appointment with some short correspondence, just to get things straight drama and confirm the long-time lines that are customary in this area of practice, which is a specialty that is certainly to be acquired violin a Layman as easily as an attorney. No law license is required to practice before the Social Security Administrative judges. And people can get very good at it, without being lawyers licensed by the bar association of Oregon.

A rare, untreatable, life-altering chronic illness resulted in intractable daily pain and forced me to give up my career. The disability application process was long and frustrating. After initial rejection, we hired Mr Ryan Belcher. With his knowledge and guidance we successfully appealed the decision. We highly recommend his services. His staff were helpful and responded to problems and questions in a timely manner. Ryan is not only good at what he does, he is kind and compassionate making this difficult journey for our family a little easier.

Ryan Belcher is the best advocate .... he guided us through the lengthy and often depressing process of gaining approval for disability benefits.
He has extensive training and is a non lawyer certified by the Social Security Admin. He demonstrative expertise (and great patience) in meetings with us. We highly recommend his services.

Mr. Belcher handled my SSDI case from beginning to end. Mr. Belcher did an excellent job, both in ensuring all information that is required was gathered, he helped me through the process and represented me as I sat with the Judge. Mr. Belcher was very professional through all aspects of my SSDI case.

After waiting years for a decision from Social Security Disability I found out that my attorney had retired and the people that took over the law firm didn't even know me. I found McGinty & Belcher online. I was very happy with the service provided and would refer my family and friends. Mr. Belcher was prepared at my hearing, so much so I was surprised at how much he knew about my medical records! I won my hearing!
Thank You!
