Great guy, great lawyer

After a several-year long battle with workers comp, my next battle was with social security for disability. Everyone told me that I need a lawyer, because the process is a mess. I was denied twice for benefits, and Mr. Garner came highly recommended, so i figured I'd try him out. With him, the proces...s was easy, I was approved, and even after the decision and he was paid, he still was helping me it ( social security somehow messed up my paperwork, negatively affecting my monthly income). He's a great guy, and a great lawyer. Thank you Mr. Garner.

ABSOLUTELY PAINLESS PROCESS/WORTH THE DRIVE 100 MILES

STEPHEN, was AWESOME... and his staff were just as good ... he was honest in his assessment of my case and told me what to expect at every step of the way. a simple phone call and some faxed releases got it started , after that Stephen handled EVERYTHING ELSE with complete efficiency even though we a...ll know the SSA is slow and the process has to run its course. I wouldn't refer any friend or family member to any other attorney in the state of Georgia. you wont find a better SSA attorney PERIOD.. ALL THIS FROM A FULLY SATISFIED CLIENT.... GOD SPEED STEPHEN, YOU AND YOUR STAFF WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY PRAYERS. DANIEL

Great mind humble heart

I have known Mr. Garner for about 40 yrs. and can without reservation recommend him. After several surgeries and denial of my social security disability I had no choice but to retain an attorney. Mr. Garner handled my case very professionally and my benefits were approved. I believe him to be a man o...f not only highest ethical standards but also a very compassionate Christian man. I can think of absolutely no reason if your case is legitimate that Mr. Garner could not do the same for you.

Thank you so much Garry. It means a lot to us when the people who know us best choose us to represent them. We screen our cases carefully and only represent the folks whose cases have merit. The judges know we screen our cases and I think that gives us an edge on the "close cases." When we take a case, you can be certain be believe in the cause and we will fight hard to get justice for you. It is so very rewarding to help deserving clients win their cases. Hard-working people like you, who had rather be working but just are not able to anymore, are the folks for which the Social Security disability system was designed to protect and provide benefits.

Awesome Attorney!!!!!!!

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and had been turned down for disability. Mr. Garner told us when he took our case the best case scenario and the worst case scenario. He turned it around so quickly, he exceeded even his best case scenario! He was very attentive and knowledgeable.... We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I wouldn't recommend anyone else! Thank you, Mr. Garner!!!!!!

Alesia, we appreciate your kind words. We try to make sure our clients know what to expect in their cases. Some severe medical conditions, such as Parkinson's, can be established as disabling through the Listing of Impairments. The Listing of Impairments describes, for each major body system, impairments considered severe enough to prevent an individual from doing any gainful activity. For the conditions clearly covered by the Listings, we will often have the treating physician complete a form early in the process describing how the claimant meets the severity requirements. If it is supported by their treatment notes, those are cases where we can get a quick and favorable decision. We are so happy you did not have to wait too long to get justice in your husband's claim.

Gets the job done!!! Very Very good! !!

If you are looking for a lawyer to help with your social security disability claim i highly recommend Stephen Garner. He is the most pleasant , honest and caring lawyer i have ever met. May not always happen this way , but my disability claim was approved the first time his office submitted it.

Thank you, Jeanette. Unfortunately, most folks have to wait a lot longer than you did for approval of their claims. There is a backlog of over 1.1 million cases in the system nationally. However, we are always pleased when the SSA pays attention to compelling medical evidence we submit on your behalf.
