Social Security Disability claim attorney

Lisa Welton was instrumental in me winning my disability determination case. I honestly believe that without her willingness to go to bat on my behalf, I would not have been successful in winning my case, as I believe is borne out by the first two applications being denied and it wasn't until she aid...ed me in presenting my case before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), that I received a favorable determination - which the ALJ commented at the beginning of my hearing that he already had a strong feeling as to the conclusion he expected to reach on my case. He mentioned a couple of times that he had reviewed the "1200 pages" of my medical history from the last five years and was relatively sure of the outcome. I was told to expect the hearing itself would last somewhere around 30 to 45 minutes and it went almost two full hours, at the end of which he stated in concluding the hearing that he felt my attorney had done a good job of preparing me for it and helping me to present my case clearly and concisely for his understanding.

Prime Choice Lawyer

So happy with my choice!! From beginning to end Ms Welton went above and beyond working on my case. She was always there to answer any questions or concerns I had. Ms. Welton's knowledge and expertise on disability cases are invaluable. She handled the process very professionally and that built u...p my confidence even more. Her and her Assistant Penny and the Team did an extraordinary job... Can't thank you enough Ms. Welton!!

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 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.
