I have practiced Social Security disability law for the past 21 years and I love what I do. My practice is a small practice, but it allows me the opportunity to get to know my clients and the specific facts of their case. I enjoy the one-on-one contact that I am able to have with my clients. I am certified as a Social Security Disability Specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. I have represented thousands of individuals in disability claims at all levels of the appeal process. My paralegal has worked with me for the past 17 years and is a great asset to me and my clients. I strive to give my clients the personal attention that they deserve.

Poor communication
Mrs. Green does not seem to have a large clientele, but still took days (3-5) to return emails and phone calls. In my case, she was never clear on what she was doing to help move the case along, I was eventually dropped after she assumed I returned to work. (I had not). I was scheduled for a hearing ...
The review stems from my refusal to further participate in an obvious fraud that this individual was committing against the federal government. In response, I did not assume this individual was working. I knew for a fact that this person was working "under the table". I observed the individual walking into a place of business on a daily basis and staying for the full work day. This individual furthermore answered the phone at the business on numerous occasions. I withdrew from this case as soon as I realized this fraud was occurring as I refuse to participate in fraud. This individual was routinely advised as to the status of the case, and at no time did it ever take 3-5 days for a response. I was extremely prepared for the first hearing and prepared an extensive brief regarding the facts in the case. The 2nd hearing was necessary because the judge wanted testimony from a medical expert to further clarify some technical issues in the case. This individual was advised numerous times as to the reason for the second hearing, both via email and phone calls. At no point did I impede this person's desire to find another attorney, and in fact provided this individual a complete copy of the file so that this individual could retain other counsel. I did an extensive amount of work on this case for which I received no compensation whatsoever, and in fact this individual still owes almost $80 in payment for medical records which were ordered and submitted to Social Security As for me not having a large "clientele", my practice is limited to disability work. I strive on giving my client's individualized attention. So while I may not have a huge firm, my clients always comment on how they have never felt like a number.

Amazing, caring, compassionate.
I applied for my disability on my own. Reaching the final hearing stage, I needed legal representation. I contacted four different attorneys, giving my information and Social Security records. Each attorneys office had assistants return my call, I never spoke to an attorney. The assistants advise...
"Donna Green is one of the very best social security disability attorneys that I know. She is not only one of the best in Chattanooga, or Tennessee, but one of the best in the country. If I or one of my family members needed help with a social security case, and my own office could not handle the case, Donna Green would be my first choice for an attorney to help. Donna Green's dedication to her social security clients and her cases is second to none. She is one of the very best attorneys that I know."
