Outstanding SSDI Lawyer

Ms. Allen is an outstanding SSDI Attorney. I have been trying to get approved for Social Security Disability since early 2006 (disabled in early 2005). Ms. Allen's competent staff took extensive notes on all my various medical conditions, the medications I take and what they do to me as well as for m...e, all my physicians and the clinics I go to, and what it is like to live with all of this. I kept them up to date on every change in my health status and did NOT have to go over anything with them twice. Ms. Allen herself is fantastic and will fight for her client in court with everything she's got, and makes sure she's well-armed with information to get the client the benefits to which he or she is entitled. Even if something isn't diagnosable by a doctor despite testing, she'll find a way to get it documented. In my case, she asked my spouse to write a narrative of how I had become disabled and submitted that. She sure works hard for the money she earns, and she truly earns every cent of the percentage of the client's back award that she is paid. It is well worth it to pay that to her, as without her knowledge and hard work, I would not now be approved. Do yourself a favor. Enlist the services of Ms. Sherri Allen early in the process of applying for SSDI. If she can't do it, nobody can. If I know anyone else in the Kitsap County area who is trying to get Social Security Disability, I'll recommend Ms. Allen in the strongest possible terms.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
