Excellent Attorney!!

I had a hard case to prove I was disabled before 22 considering Iam 32 and it was over 10 years ago I was younger than 22. Ms. Siegel helped me win my case and get me a fully favorable opinion so I could collect off my fathers social security instead of just getting regular SSI payment which were les...s. Ms Siegel got all my old medical history and documents and presented it very well with the judge. I couldn't have done this with out her. It is very important to have a good attorney on issues like mine where you have to go back more than 10 years to prove you were disabled at a much younger age. There were many codes and confusing things she was explaining to the judge that I couldn't have done and my hearing wasn't very long and I was surprised but happy with the length of the hearing and the outcome. This attorney saved my life. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

Your Dream Lawyer

Lisa has a heart as big as the sky. She is your fantasy attorney you only wish you could find. The best way to describe her is to imagine your Dream Lawyer on television who stands for the less fortunate. The lawyer that TRUELY fights for justice and cares about her clients. She has been an inspirati...on to me. I have C-PTSD and never thought that I would win my disability case. In less than a year I was awarded the full amount of my SSD. I was desperate and afraid. She walked me through the process. She is personable, confident, articulate, honest, reliable, truthful, seeks justice and TRUELY cared about the outcome of my case. She strategizes ahead in preparation for her next move on your behalf. She is the real deal. I believe she is so successful because money is NOT the motivating factor in her practice. Her motivation is love for the disabled. Honestly, there are no words to describe her adequately. Love you Lisa, you changed my life.

My Highest Recommendation - An Invaluable Asset!

Lisa helped me with my disability case. It was a very professional, yet pleasant experience from day one thru the hearing. She is very knowledgeable regarding what to expect, and as a result, I was completely prepared for the entire process. She was a tremendous help and her experience was an invalua...ble asset at the hearing. I am completely satisfied and happy not only with her professionalism and the results, but also with her demeanor and communication. She has my highest recommendation! • • •

30 years of pain and suffering can to an End in 15 minutes

Hello I have be bothered with neck and back pain for over 30 years, always under several doctors care. I had back surgery in 1984 but the pain never left, and it grew harder and harder to find a job that would be accommodating to my condition. I would be out of work for months and months at a time an...d the situation never improved. In 2011 the pain was so bad that I would go to a health care clinic for a shot to help with the pain but that ended shortly and I was out of work again but this time i knew that I would not be able to return to work. I started the process of looking for a lawyer to represent my and this was a long process because I wanted the best representation for me. I came across Ms. Siegel information online and there was something special in her profile, also in the reviews of some of her clients. I called Ms. Siegel on the weekend and got her voice mail and left a message. Ms. Siegal returned my call the following Monday and answered all of my concerning and said if I need to speak with her again to please call and I did. I wanted to make sure that Ms. Siegel would be the actual attorney working my case because I was at the need of my rope and needed someone who would give me 150 percent of her time to my case and she did. When we finally went before the Judge he praised Ms. Siegel on the brief she had put together on my behalf and we were finished within 15 minutes. Ms. Siegel had provide all of my medical history for the past 30 years to help resolve my case. So if you are in need of a excellent Disability lawyer please do yourself and your family a blessing and contact Ms. Siegel.
