Blythe Glemming represented a 27 year old Iraqi war veteran in his claim for disability benefits before the Social Security Administration (SSA). Our client suffered injuries to both of his knees during his military service overseas when the Hummer he was traveling in flipped over. He was discharged with 10% disability from the VA, roughly $100 per month, and supported himself with nominal funds from his GI bill. After having surgery on one knee, and waiting for surgery on the other, it was discovered that he had a kidney condition called polycystic kidney disease. Because this condition is hereditary, he could not receive any additional VA benefits for treatment. Not only does this disease ultimately require regular dialysis, the only known “cure” is a kidney transplant. Continue Reading

TWW Holds Insurance Company Responsible
Monday, November 2nd, 2009When an insurance company decided to deny a claim in bad faith, TWW obtained justice.

Protesters March Against Police Brutality
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Despite the threatening weather, around 50 people attended the October 22, 2009 March against police brutality in downtown Pensacola. The recent death of Victor Steen a few weeks earlier fueled the protesters who rallied against the Pensacola Police Department’s decision to bring Officer Jerald Ard back from paid administrative leave. While the investigation into Officer Ard’s conduct is ongoing, various members of Steen’s family attended the protest. Along with other local supporters, they marched the mile and a half to the City Council meeting to express their disdain for Ard’s return. Many protesters donned signs, drums, noise-makers, and T-shirts memorializing Victor Steen. Singing chants as they made their way to City Hall, the protesters were met by passing motorists who blew their horns and gave “thumbs up” signs of support. The group plans to march each time the City Council meets, every 2nd Thursday, until Officer Ard is terminated from the Pensacola Police Department.
