Social security

I was referred to Mr. Wells by a friend. It was the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Mr. Wells and and his staff were great to keep me informed and up to date during my claim. Truly a professional and caring firm when it came to my situation/case. I would highly recommend Mr. Wells and his st...aff if you are looking for an informative, family oriented firm when it comes to your disability claim.

Phenomenal Attorney!!!

Look no further for an Attorney! Mr.Wells say down with me and listened to me and what I had been doing on my own trying to get SSI. He explained the entire process to me, what I can expect and about how long it will take. He was SPOT ON !! I had been denied a few times for SSI disability before I co...ntacted him, and he was able to get me a hearing in the time he said it would take. He explained to me why it takes so long to get a hearing. I never felt rushed while talking with him. He took the time to listen to me, and gave me the best advice.I highly recommend Mr. Wells if you are looking for a Disability Attorney. He and Kirstin returned my calls and answered my questions even after hours! Mr.Wells called me back a few times after hours to help me. When his office was closed Kirstin offered to meet with me and open the office just to make copies so Mr. Wells could have them on his desk the following day! I couldn't believe she would do that for me! She gave me her personal phone number, so if I had any questions she could help with she would talk to me anytime. Like I said at the beginning. If you need an Attorney please call Mr. Keith Wells. He won my case for me, answered all my questions, and went above and beyond his office hours to meet with me. I recommend him HIGHLY to anyone!

Highly Recommend For Disability Cases

We personally tried to obtain disability benefits for two years without success, so we reached out to Keith Wells and he handled everything. We were successful because of him, and he was very professional and thorough with our case. For disability cases I highly recommend him and was beyond happy wit...h how he took the case.

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.
