The Best!

Sam is a wonderful lawyer that cares about your case. He will help you through the whole of social security process. If I had a question he would have no problem answering them. If you are looking for a social security disability lawyer you need him at your side. I am very fortunate to have hired him... and he won my case! I can not say anything bad about my experience of hiring him. He is caring and understanding and knows all the right things to do to win your case. I am so happy to have met and hired him! Thank you MR. Warner for everything! He treated me with dignity and respect, which to me is hard to come by now a days. I would recommend him a million times! The process of social security can be very complicated and tedious. He can help you with this. To me I can not express enough or put into words what it meant to me to have him by my side.

Complex Case of Wounded Military Member

My first piece of advice, never try to do a social security Claim by yourself. That's where Sam came in. He was very professional and always followed up with any question I had. I did not just feel like another client or number. After initially being denied by Social Security disability, I was ...very discouraged. It seemed pretty obvious to me that I couldn't work after having three different spinal surgeries and other issues. The military had put me in disability status for over 2 years. Sam looked at the facts of the case. He went over its strengths and weaknesses. Then we got to work. It's really about giving the judge perspective of your daily life. How do your injuries effect you, and your ability to work. I had a mountain of medical documentation pointing out my limitations. The key is having excellent legal representation. You need someone who knows how to clearly communicate, how your limits effect your ability to work. I'm hear to tell you, the Government is not going to make it easy. Sam cut through all of that red tape. I weny from a denial to a fully favorable decision. Samuel Benjamin Warner esquire, made it a little easier for me to take care of my family during a very hard time in my life. He will always have my thanks and respect. SFC Charles

Samuel Warner: 're Disability Case

My name is Diana. I had to stop working in May 2014 due to physical and emotional issues. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis in every joint, both of my knees need to be replaced, severe back pain, I am agoraphobic, claustrophobic, major depressive disorder, PTSD, aspergers, hyperanxiety, as well as other... emotional issues. I filed for disability right away in May 2014 and was automatically denied. I decided to hire an attorney, not knowing any. I went online to look for disability attorneys and read several attorney's reviews and wasn't impressed. I then read Mr. Samuel Warner's page and decided to consult with him. I was very impressed and hired him. Samuel Warner was on top of everything. He helped me every step of the way, whether it was paperwork to fill out or getting medical reports, just everything. I had a hearing set on February 3, 2016. I got there early and was so anxious, and a quite petrified, that I passed out about 3 or 4 times. When Mr. Warner arrived, I was sitting on the floor crying because I felt foolish. Mr. Warner consoled me and told me that everything would be okay. The security guard had called for an ambulance that arrived soon after Mr. Warner arrived and they cleared me. The judge decided to set a new date for the hearing. At the next hearing in April 2016, the judges medical expert hadn't gotten through all of the records yet and the judge decided to set another new date. I was heartbroken because I did not think that I could go through this again. Soon after, the judge called Mr. Warner and told him that he was not going to put me through another hearing and that he was approving my disability case. Without Samuel Warner, I know that I wouldn't have won my case. I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart!!. He was there for me from the beginning and stayed with me and won my case!!. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. SAMUEL WARNER FROM WARNER AND WARNER TO ANYBODY WHO NEEDS A DISABILITY ATTORNEY!!! HE IS THE BEST!!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
