Shea Ann Fugate

This review is written with a heavy heart and a deep sense of betrayal. In mid-2021, facing debilitating circumstances, I filed for Social Security disability. I was vulnerable, desperate for help, and I placed my trust in attorney Shay Fugate on June 3rd, 2022. Initially, we connected over a share...d love of Elvis Presley, and I dared to hope for a positive outcome. That hope was quickly dashed. Just a month later, on July 1st, 2022, I received my denial, No surprise there, many are denied on the first attempt. What was shocking was discovering Shay Fugate did not know this and missed the critical deadline to file an appeal. Ms. Fugate's inaction, in contrast, felt like a slap in the face. What followed was a disturbing pattern of neglect, compounded by Shay Fugate's knack for instilling false hope. She has a talent for telling you exactly what you want to hear, leading you along a path of empty promises. My calls and emails would vanish into a void, only acknowledged when I followed up with a call to her team, who would then miraculously "find" my email while I was on the phone. This happened repeatedly. Feeling like a burden, I reluctantly backed off, trusting that my case was a priority, as Ms. Fugate had assured me I was "top of her list." Two agonizing years crawled by. Two years where I lived in limbo, my future hanging in the balance, sustained only by the false hope Shay Fugate so readily provided. Then came the devastating blow: a recent call revealed that in those two years, Shay Fugate had not filed a SINGLE document on my behalf. Two years of my life, lost due to sheer negligence and a carefully constructed facade of empty promises. This isn't just about a missed deadline or unanswered emails. It's about a fundamental breach of trust, a careless disregard for a client's well-being, fueled by the insidious nature of false hope. It's about the profound impact that inaction and deceit can have on a person's life. If you're seeking a disability attorney who will fight for you, who will be responsive and proactive, I implore you to look elsewhere. My experience with Shay Fugate has been nothing short of a nightmare, a stark reminder that even an initial connection over a shared interest does not equate to competence or care. Learn from my misfortune and seek representation that truly values your future.

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.

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.

I was in need of an Attorney to handle my disability claim and Shea Fugate was to right person for the job. She is amazing at taking control and working extremely hard for her clients. She met with me and explained what I could expect when going before the Judge, which was very helpful. She is profes...sional and caring and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent Attorney.

i have had 3 other social security attorneys. then I was referred to Ms Fugate. Best lawyer ever, caring and informative on my case. Social security prolongs their decision and doesn't even look at your paper work for 18 to 24 months. she stayed on top of it for me. I am so glad I hired her. No I don...'t have an answer yet from Social security but I feel relieved that I chose such a professional good caring lawyer.
