Where Are They Now? Kevin Mitchell

At Pond Lehocky, our clients always come first. We are there for our clients throughout their case listening, guiding and advocating on their behalf during what can often be a difficult journey. Our goal is to help put our clients lives back together, support them in every way and celebrate together when the fight is won.

Looking at where our clients are now that their case is over is a rewarding experience, reminding us of why we work so hard. This month, we connected with our client Kevin.

Kevin worked with the same company for over 15 years, doing maintenance work and physical labor. After years of repetitive work, Kevin developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both of his hands and stiffness throughout his body. “I couldn’t use my hands, I couldn’t bend. I couldn’t use my limbs,” Kevin says, describing what he went through as he faced his new reality—he could no longer work due to his disability.

The job had taken a toll on him, leaving him burdened with a painful condition and unable to provide for his family. Kevin applied for Social Security disability benefits on his own and was unsuccessful. Then he applied again with the help of Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano Disability.

Kevin called Pond Lehocky and says, “…they came to the rescue.” Pond Lehocky helped Kevin obtain Social Security disability benefits. Kevin felt a lot of pressure throughout his case, but says that since he’s won, “a lot of weight has been taken off.” Now that Kevin is collecting disability and getting the benefits he deserves, he is able to help pay the bills. With the weight lifted off his shoulders, Kevin says he can help his family, spend time with his loved ones, and focus on the important things—his health, his happiness and his family.

Hearing from our clients, who are the foundation of our mission, drives us to become better advocates and continue to fight for the benefits they need.
