"Dear Mr. Anderson, I have just been hired by David Samarzia with regard to claims for Social Security disability benefits...Of course I, like most people in town, knew a little bit about what was going on because of the media coverage. Regardless, we now need your help in helping Mr. Samarzia win his Social Security claim. I assume you have a substantial file including medical records and reports. I also understand there are some vocational and/or economic loss records and reports...What we are looking to establish is a long, long linear history of medical problems that Mr. Samarzia has suffered from because of the abuse that he was subject to....As you probably know, Mr. Samarzia, despite the terrific outcome of his case, from a litigation perspective, really did not do very well from a financial perspective. He gave the church building back to the congregation. He then had a breakdown and
lost his home..."
Sean Quinn, attorney with Falsani, Balmer, Peterson, Quinn & Beyer, in a 2006 letter to Jeff Anderson
In 2007 Social Security denied the claim
"When I met David Samarzia in 2014, I had never heard of him or his lawsuit. Being a natural organizer, I offered to sort through the many boxes of papers he’d hauled around for years and file everything in order. I was astounded as he recounted to me the painful story of his life and amazed that he never varied in the details. Everything I saw in the paperwork corroborated his verbal account. I believe that David’s story becoming better known is an important step to help stop the re-victimization of sexual assault victims that happens far too often."
