I am glad you are happy with the settlement. Being a mediator, as well as an attorney with about 34 years experience, helps me know how the insurance companies value cases,

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

No more TV attorneys!

My experience with Murphy and Garner was nothing short of amazing and relieving! I had originally went with one of those television attorneys that make big promises for all of your pain and suffering. Unfortunately, after months of waiting and a lot of tedious paperwork, those promises dwindled whe...n my case needed more effort. I decided to call Murphy and Garner and I'm glad that I did. Stephen Garner handled my case. He patiently listened to my grievances and when it was time to fight for me he went above and beyond what I had expected! Not only was I compensated, but` it was fair! Murphy and Garner handled my case with dignity and integrity and they proved that they are not only honest but very knowledgeable in their field. If you want someone that will take the time to listen to your concerns and that is trustworthy, I would highly recommend Murphy and Garner. If I ever need help again, Murphy and Garner will be my first stop.

Thank you, T. We are glad you called us too! Unfortunately, many of the TV lawyers are more concerned about the volume of cases they handle rather than getting fair value of their clients' cases. Over the last 33 years of practice, I have heard many horror stories about people who hired the lawyers with the slick commercials on TV and were disappointed with the lack of personal service and attention given to their cases. Jingles and catchy slogans don't win cases. When people are looking for a lawyer, I recommend they do some research. Ask your friends. Check out their reviews online. See what their reputation is in the legal community by going to their web site and checking for awards and honors that have been bestowed on them by their peers. Call around and talk to several lawyers. Interview them - because they will be working for YOU! Lawyers who will listen to you, work hard for you and will use their experience and expertise to fight for a just and fair resolution of your case are the ones you should hire - not the snake oil salesmen screaming and making big promises over the airwaves.

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.

Garner and Staff

The due diligence provided by Atty Garner and his staff was above and beyond perfection. From receptionist to Atty Garner, there was a personal attitude that was friendly, honest and very intelligent. They worked with me from start to finish with respect and understanding. They helped with any questi...ons that I had and never got impatient with me. They never told me anything that wasn't true, even if it was something I may not want to hear. Special thanks goes to Nancy who lent an ear on more than one occasion. Atty Garner is a very smart and trusting PERSON as well as an Attorney. They were even willing to meet me somewhere to get paperwork, etc when I had days that I couldn't physically get to them. They are the kind of people that you want as your friends. One word cannot describe how I feel about them. We worked together for 3 years to find and receive a resolution. One word cannot explain how I feel about them. However, these words do come to mind. Passionate, caring, diligent, trustworthy, friendly, HONEST.
