I endorse attorney Julie Moya and her work as a Social Security disability claimant's attorney. I have found her responses to inquiries from the public on this discussion board to be thorough and well-reasoned. Julie is also knowledgeable about other benefit programs such as long-term disability insurance that have an impact on Social Security disability claims, and this wide range of knowledge adds further value to her role as a client advocate for her clients as they navigate the complex disability claims process. For these reasons, I endorse Julie in her work and would recommend her to potential clients seeking legal representation.

Ms. Moya is an incredible attorney and advocate. She works hard for her clients and cares deeply for their well being. I served with Ms. Moya on the Board of the Child Law Society while we were both in Law School at the University of Tennessee College of Law and she led our group with passion, direction, and an incredible work ethic. A work ethic and drive that she brings to everything she does.
