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.

Thank you so much!

Atty. Lisa responds in an extreme timely matter, she is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used Atty. Lisa for divorce, she is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you so much!

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."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
