Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Fulton Law Office to anyone filing for disability. Right from the start, Kay and Chelsea made me feel relaxed and that I was going to be taken care of. Whenever I had a question or concern, I always got a prompt answer. Kay notified me of every step they were taking and what I need...ed to do if they needed more information. They helped me from start to finish and I won my claim. I am grateful for their help!

Excellent

Excellent Lawyers Chelsea was amazing. She told me just what I need to do what paperwork I needed. Kay stayed in touch with what to do next. My disability case was granted in a short amount of time.

Great attorney!

Chelsea and her staff represented me for my Social Security case. They were all very supportive as well as informative to me. They never left me just wondering, all the staff put in the work while keeping me informed and minimizing my need to do very much. Chelsea said at the beginning that I would h...ave to be patient as SS takes a while to get everything together and render there decisions. But that’s where the support comes in from the team! They understand the system and the frustration that a client feels and they will keep you informed as they know more information as well as words of encouragement. That meant a lot to me. Now that it’s done and I’m just waiting for the SS to start they still check in with me to see if I need anything. I highly recommend Chelsea and her team to be your representative if you need it. By the way, this is the second time they have represented me in different cases. Won both times. Thanks Chelsea and Kay for all your help and support.
