Joyce suffered from a rare disorder called eosinophilic gastroenteritis which caused nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and more. Joyce originally filed for disability benefits in 2001 and unfortunately was denied several times. Balin Law took Joyce’s case to the Appeals Council and then filed in Federal Court and received a remand. In doing this, Balin Law finally won at Joyce’s fourth hearing with a third judge with a finding that she was disabled since the year 2000.

Balin Law always believed in the merits of Joyce’s case. Moreover, Joyce persevered with Balin Law through these trials. This was one of a handful of cases that Balin Law has had that took so long to receive benefits, but justice prevailed ultimately. Here are some quotes from Joyce about her experience hiring Balin Law:

Why did you hire Balin Law?

“I went in and talked to Paulette Balin and she told me the things I needed to know. I liked her [Paulette’s] attitude and she was straight forward with everything. That’s ultimately why I hired Balin Law.”

What word or phrase would best describe Paulette Balin?

“She’s EXCELLENT. Very knowledgeable. Paulette never gave up. At one point, I even offered to quit and just give up and she said, “No, don’t give up, keep fighting. You deserve this!” And she was right.”
