Very knowledgeable, always put me at ease

Lisa and her staff, patiently spent as much time as needed to help guide me through a rather convoluted disability claims process. It was much more involved than I was aware, but Lisa was very supportive, and helped me to succeed with my claim.

LTD and SSDI

Lisa and her assistant Penny were very thorough and engaged in our case(s). Lisa got working on things very quickly, educated us on what was needed from physicians, guided us through the process and was readily available if we needed something along the way. I can't say enough good things about Lis...a and her practice. She truly advocated for us. First case won a favorable decision and the second case is still in the works.

Fully Favorable at the Bench

Lisa Welton and her Legal Assistant Penny were very understanding and always helpful throughout my entire SSDI disability case from the Reconsideration appeal to the ALJ hearing where the judge commended her for the through pre- hearing brief that she submitted and granted a fully favorable decision ...on the bench which I understand is a very rare. I can't Thank her enough. I highly recommend Lisa Welton and her team for your disability case.

She took my disability case when no one else would help me. She guided me step by step on the process and returned my calls when she wasn't available. Yes we won my case !

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have referred 2 Social Security Disability cases of family members to Ms. Welton. She professionally presented the facts of each case and was able to convince the Social Security Administration that each of her clients was entitled to payments (they had been denied when they applied for benefits on their own). I believe she could help you if you had a SSD or SSI matter."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
