There are many reasons people will struggle financially throughout their lives. Some have tried to handle their debts themselves, but their payments got bigger and bigger until they were no longer able to keep the bill collectors at bay. Many are struggling with a debilitating condition that prevents them from working, and their application for public benefits has been denied.
No matter who they are, they all have one thing in common: they want to put their struggles behind them and move on to the next phase of their life. Attorney Rodney Shepherd has over 25 years of legal experience, and is licensed to practice in all Pennsylvania courts, including the state Supreme Court.

Services
From our Pittsburgh law office, we help people find viable debt solutions through bankruptcy, obtain Social Security disability compensation, and create comprehensive wills and estate plans. In addition, we have the experience and knowledge to take on even the most complex divorce, family law, and criminal defense cases.
Most people struggle with debt for years before they consider bankruptcy. At first, bills may only be a month or two behind, and large purchases are forgone for the sake of making up past payments. But as the months go by, unforeseen setbacks, medical emergencies, and bad business deals can deplete savings and max out credit cards, leaving families so far in debt they will never be able to get out.
People who are unable to work due to an ongoing injury may rely on public benefits in order to survive. Under the Social Security program, workers make contributions into the system while they are able to work and draw from this fund if they become disabled.
Unfortunately, many rightful claims are often denied due to incomplete paperwork, lack of medical evidence, or other technicalities, leaving the disabled worker without the funds they need to keep their homes and pay their bills.Attorney Rodney Shepherd has many years of experience helping his clients through the complicated Social Security disability process.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Very Honest person, and picks up your call. If he cannot answer he calls back. He doesn’t leave to anyone else like a secretary. He’s a no nonesense type of lawyer. I’m military and I’ve dealt with horrible lawyers in Pittsburgh. I will not go with anyone else.

Rodney is a great lawyer to deal with. His demeanor is such that he can quickly calm you down when stressed and put your worries to rest. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives answers easy to understand. He seems available at all times and usually answers the phone himself, on those rare occasions that he doesn't answer he returns calls promptly. His fee was a flat rate and he didn't bill for each individual time we spoke. He truly is The Good Shepherd

.He treated me with great respect and was very professional. He handled my case efficiently and a timely manner. I have used him for different legal manners at 3 different times and called him for other legal advice and he has always taken time to answer my questions politely. I've had other family members use Mr Shepherd and they have all been satisfied with the outcome.

Rodney was referred to me by another attorney.
He said “Rodney will take great care of you,” and he was right. He was prepared for every hearing we attended. He was extremely thorough when I was asked for particular documents. I was very
comfortable with Rodney and his firm. Overall
I was extremely pleased with how the case turned out. I would highly recommend Rodney Shepard law firm to anyone of my friends.

Mr. Shepard met me at his office lobby with a comforting handshake and a friendly smile. I had just begun my divorce and was also filing bankruptcy. I was stressed to the limit to say the least. Mr. Shepard understood that I was fried and set me at ease with a calm reassurance that everything will be alright. He walked me through the process and explained everything in clear detail. I even had to call Mr. Shepard at 6:00 in the morning because of a repossession mistake. He handled it and my vehicle was returned in hours. I would recommend Mr. Shepard to anyone in need of his services.

Rodney was truly a Godsend!! I was certainly Blessed to have him in my time of need! He was truly worth every penny! In today's day and age, it is really hard to come across an Attorney that won't try and charge and arm or leg for their Services. I still find myself recommending him to friends and strangers alike! God Bless you Rodney and thanks again for all of your help!!
