Mr. Tripp was very professional, and knowledgeable. Both him and his staff were quick to respond anytime I had any questions. I definitely recommend him for social security disability hearing.

Mr. Tripp was recommended by a local lawyer. He and his staff are very organized, treat their clients with respect and are non judgemental. He answered all my calls and questions promptly. He is confident and personable and knows how to communicate with his clients. He even gave me a book at our first meeting. It was reasurring to know that Mr. Tripp was respresenting me. I see now why Mr. Tripp was recommended to me.

I got extremely lucky to run into Timothy Tripp via an internet search. I called and the people answering the call were super nice and took interest in me. As months went by and I was not well, they wouldn’t give up on me. As far as competencies this is an amazing lawyer but more importantly his staff loves him. You will be in good hands with this compassionate and smart law practice.

Mr. Timothy N. Tripp was extremely helpful in not only helping me prepare for my Social Security Disability case, but he was very understanding when it came to my disabilities that I had been dealing with. Mr. Tripp was very up front and helpful from the time I asked him for his help to the very date of my Social Security Disability Income hearing. There are a lot of attorney's out there, but Mr. Timothy Tripp is by far the best attorney when it comes to Disability cases in the state of Iowa

Timothy Tripp is an excellent attorney! He took the time to understand my disability and worked VERY hard to obtain all the documentation necessary and explained every step of the process patiently and thoroughly. When the time came for my hearing, he presented my case to the Administrative Law Judge in a clear, concise and professional manner. I had tried working with another attorney previously and it went miserably! It was so refreshing to have someone as professional and well organized as Tim Tripp. I only wish I would have found him sooner. I would not hesitate to work with Mr. Tripp again, should the need arise.

Mr. Tripp is an exceptional attorney. I needed someone to represent me who would take the time to understand my disability and convey my case to SSD in a professional manner. I am so pleased I selected Mr. Tripp to handle my case, he was well organized and he was very prepared for my Disability Hearing. He explained each step of the Disability process and I was kept well informed along the way. Which was very comforting to know. I knew he had my best interest in hand at all times. I cannot thank him enough.

Timothy Tripp was a God send to us. We tried a very well advertised firm the first time so I was delited to meet him face to face. He's straight forward so he tells it like it is. His staff are so very helpful and courteous they handle all the paperwork like medical records. All I had to do was follow his directions and tell the truth yes tell the truth. I would recommend Mr. Tripp to everyone.

Mr Tripp at first was a little intimidating but that's because of my own mental health issues. Then at my trial he really showed me he cared and helped me to understand that I am doing a good job and I was ok as i kept going into pannic before the hearing. Mr Tripp could tell when I was starting to shut down and did an amazing job on helping me feel comfortable. He is an amazing attorney and definitely knows what he is doing. I have referred many people to him and will continue to do so.

Mr. Tripp is an excellent attorney. He is very organized and I felt very prepared for my Disability Hearing. He was really good at explaining each step of the Disability process and I was kept well informed along the way. Mr. Tripp told me at our initial meeting that he wins the majority of his cases and he did win my case!
