Shea Ann Fugate

We were recommended to Ms. Shea Fugate by our physician. When we contacted Ms. Fugate, we had no idea what to expect and what needed to be done for the social security process. So, when my husband and I met with Ms. Shea Fugate, she made us feel comfortable, answer all of our questions patiently and ...guided us through every step of the way with ease. We were very fortunate to have been recommend to Ms. Shea Fugate and we highly recommend her to anyone who needs a top notch social security attorney and great supporting staff. Thank you again Ms. Fugate for the great work that you did for us.

My brother referred me to Shea because she was able to assist him with his disability. I was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2014, after a few surgeries I tried to go back to work after 5 months. I was unable to continue working and was out of work for another 13 months. During this time Shea filled fo...r social security disability. I was denied twice and we appealed and waited on a hearing. While waiting on a hearing I had my 5th surgery and my arm was healing well. My current employer asked if I would like to return to work in a different position. I consulted Shea, she said try it and if it doesn't work out we continue for disability, if it does we try for the period I was out of work (13 months). At the hearing Shea stated to the judge that I was originally out for 5 months, tried to go back to work and couldn't, then went back after 13 months. Well the judge granted the 5 months, and the 13 months. Shea knows the law well, she really someone I trusted, I felt comfortable talking to her. I have already recommend Shea to a few people at work. This is a long process, stay with it, your in capable hands!

I was referred to Ms. Fugate from another lawyer after I was denied for disability at the hearing level. I had a different lawyer up till that point but he clearly was no good. Shae took one look at my denial letter and found plenty of issues. She took my case and we moved forward together to the ...Appeals Council. She did such a great job on my appeal request that my case was remanded back for a second hearing. I was a nervous wreck but Ms. Fugate was always there to calm me down and answer questions. The day of the hearing Ms. Fugate was perfectly prepared, professional and confident enough for the both of us. She did an amazing job walking me through the hearing and got me approved. I highly recommend Ms. Fugate to anyone looking for a disability lawyer. She is hard working, caring and REALLY knows her stuff.

Having been denied twice for my social security disability benefits and going through two different attorneys who were of no help to me, I was referred to Shea Fugate from an attorney who had lost my case and said if anyone could win the benefits for you it would be Ms. Fugate. What a difference th...is has made in me finally achieving my ultimate goal to be approved for my disability benefits starting next month. She was positive from day one that this goal would be met and she used her skills, her knowledge and her time to reach this agreement. She shows dedication, professionalism and always makes you feel she cares and is working and keeping you informed as each step of the process is met. I would recommend her to anyone seeking social security benefits because she accomplished what the other two attorneys were unable to do. She works hard for her clients and makes them feel like she cares and is not just in it for the money. Thank you so much Ms. Fugate.

Shea Fugate is the lawyer everyone dealing with a disability claim needs to meet. Social Security does not seem to feel a need to inform people like me that there is a level available after your appeal has been denied. I was fortunate enough to have been persuaded to call an attorney who was running ...an ad on TV for his disability claims. He handled claims that were denied. I called and spoke with him for a very few minutes when he said he could not help me but knew who could and gave me Ms. Fugates number. I spoke with her on the phone and went to see her. She looked at the paperwork she had me bring and almost immediately asked me to wait while she went to check a few things. A lot of the info used to deny my claim, at all levels, was apparently wrong. I had said that there were things on my claim that weren't mine, but no one seemed to care. Ms. Fugate did care. She took on my claim at a Federal level and I was finally approved....back to the original filing. She is not in it for the money as she cannot charge the fees her time is worth. She is in it to help people. She cares and is a sincere lady. I would recommend Shea Fugate to anyone. I feel certain that she would be the same sincere person in whatever way one may need her. She may not get rich off of "Thank yous", but I still thank her every day.
