Finally a Great Attorney!
I had been through three disability attorneys before I came to Lisa, three. Disability attorneys, good ones, are not easy to find. Being able to trust that your information, records, dates of things to be signed, filed, filled out, etc., is all in order without having to chase your lawyer down, is th...

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...

No Humility and Too Much Pride
My experience with Attorney Lisa Siegal was absolutely TERRIBLE ! Before I provide my subjective comments related to this person’s demeanor, and services (that I paid over $9,000.00 to receive), I first want to speak about what I received from her related to quality. 1) She filled out my applicatio...
Lisa Siegel
Replied last December 06, 2025This is a surprising review with no name attached, but I think I can discern whom it might be given the odd fact scenario. In this scenario, the client's returned sign up documents were delivered by mail in an envelope that appeared to be run over by a truck - given the tire tracks on the envelope. I sent the client a photo of the envelope and the torn documents to show what him what I received via mail. These certainly were not submitted to SSA in that form. So I really do not know what this client is referring to regarding "sloppy" work. I submit applications online in any event and not by hand. Also, given the reference to my "fee" it appears we won full benefits on this case. So regardless of his unhappiness with me personally, I delivered on the result. I am sorry he harbors such resentment. I would never want any client to feel that way. I also regret that he never once told me he felt this way during the duration of my representation. It is always better to reach out and discuss differences in person rather than air them anonymously and so factually off the mark. Stil, I have reached out to an individual whom I suspect wrote this so that we can discuss. I always want feedback. He may not have liked me personally, regrettably, but at least he won full benfits on the initial application.
