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!

Awesome and Amazing

It took me a while to write this review because I had to order a thesaurus so I wouldn't over use the words awesome and amazing. I had been trying to get SSI for over 6 years when I first reached out to several lawyers. Like 8 of them. Chelsea from Philip J. Fulton Law Office was the only one wh...o took the time to respond. She gave me excellent advice and told me what was needed to be done before she could come onboard my case. Cut to a year later (because Social Security is fast /s) and I emailed Chelsea again with my updated info and she was able to help me! She put me in touch with Kay who hand held me through the next year and a half of preparing for my case. Like, she is my hero. Anyway, I won my case after over 8 years of trying and its solely because of the work that they put in. They worked hard and answered all my questions every step of the way. If you need a lawyer, seriously, these are the people you want helping you.

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.

Excellent and Professional Representation

Chelsea represented me in my social security disability case. I gave her the papers that I had, and she did the rest. Her hard work made for a successful award in a timely fashion. I greatly appreciate her professional expertise as an social security lawyer. ...

Put your worries in her hands...

A relative of mine referred Chelsea to me and that was all I needed. No need to look further. What a blessing that turned out to be! For anyone who has had to deal with anything to do with SSDI or the SSA, finding someone who can help and knows the intricate workings of our government agencies and re...assuring me along the oh so lengthy process was tremendous.
