There isn't enough stars to show how much I appreciate what attorney Lola Richey and her firm did, and I highly recommend her to anyone. I was not disappointed. She handled my case with a kind but straightforward approach. I met with her, and I'm extremely impressed. I appreciate how she leaves no stone unturned, very resourceful, while exhibiting a high degree of negotiation skills. I greatly appreciate the work and efficiency that she and her team provided me I highly recommend anyone who is looking for solidified representation to contact Lola Richey to discuss your concerns.

Lola is an experienced personal injury and Social Security disability lawyer in Greenville, SC and I recently had an opportunity to speak with her on the phone to discuss trends in Social Security law and our experiences trying cases. It is obvious that Lola is a passionate advocate for her disability clients and she offers a personal level of service that the national "TV lawyers" cannot. I would not hesitate to recommend Lola to anyone in the Greenville area and if you are in need of a knowledgeable and determined lawyer to pursue your claim, you would be wise to call upon her.
