Parmele gets paid by a maximum percent of back pay, so they draw out the case until that time is accrued so they get the maximum amount, even if you are homeless. Then, once you get your first check, they threaten you severely and insist you pay them $0.25/page copy/print fees for every page of medical records they requested, which is hundreds of dollars. They requested records for my case that were completely unnecessary, and charged me for doing so. They didn't even have an actual lawyer represent me in court, I got a paralegal who didn't even understand my medical condition. I was approved for disability in spite of this predatory law firm.
