I worked with Janine Gawryl and she was completely rude. Went to her to get help getting on disability and she made me out to be someone that was faking and suggested that I get a job. She needs to learn to communicate better with her clients and be more respectful. I do not suggest using her if you have a disability and you are looking for help because she will just make you feel worse about yourself.

I had many medical problems with a file over 500 pages. I contacted many lawyers and was denied help. Then I found her on line. Got an appointment and seen her.she is a great person. She helped me through the whole process and it was a long one. With her help I was able to get disability. Without her i would have never gotten. If you go to see her with no medical history of illness dont waste your time. The government has a lot of requirements and without a medical history doubt she could help you. I read where some didnt like her. She will tell you up front if she cant help you. She is very honest and caring. A great woman doing what she can with what you give her. If your honest she will work hard for you. If your not honest dont waste your time. The only disability lawyer I had found in new Hampshire that does the work where the other lawyer have you fill out paperwork and tell you there is nothing more they could do. Great job done

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for Attorney Joseph MacAllister of Gawryl & MacAllister. Having been injured almost seven years ago and trying to get approved for Social Security Disability again. Attorney MacAllister took the time to review my case and get to know me personally. The personal attention that was given to my wife and I was so much more than we had seen from other Law Firms and it is greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to any one in need of these services. Kenneth Borden

Janine is an excellent disability attorney. She will fight for you to her fullest ability. She does not hesitate to tell you how your situation will be viewed by the state. Some may interpret this the wrong way, but it is certainly in your best interest if you want to win your case. I cannot recommend her enough.
