"I endorse this lawyer. I attended law school with Samantha, where we were both members of the Student Trial Advocacy Program. After graduation, Samantha joined Disability Attorneys of Michigan and has worked there ever since, most recently becoming a named partner. She has practiced Social Security law exclusively since 2005. That narrow focus allows her to excel in this highly specialized legal area, which benefits her many clients. I would recommend her for Social Security legal services to anyone."
