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.
