Social Security Disability Income application

I hired Tom for my SSDI application. I was extremely impressed with his legal knowledge, advice, professionalism, ethics, guidance, and tenacity in his handling of my case. The application process for my disability approval was a long and arduous course. Tom handled these delays, initiated by the ...SSA, professionally and promptly, and at the same time explained that these delays are often part of the process. His demeanor and legal expertise gave me the confidence that I had hired a true professional and the "BEST" attorney possible for my SSDI case! Thank you Tom!!!

Great experience

Tom was great! Kept me on track with my paperwork and took it and did what he knows best. Kept telling me all was good and it was. My claim went through on the 1st go. He told me step by step what would happen. Great guy.

Very honest lawyer. Highly recommend!

Have never used a lawyer before, but Mr. Lemley was highly recommended to me by a friend. Tom explained the disability process to me in detail, and was very patient with me, as I had a lot of questions and concerns. He told me what I could expect, answered all my questions, kept me up to date on the ...process, and gave an approximate timeline on a result. Mr. Lemley was always there for me whenever I needed him, and ALWAYS returned my phone calls or e-mails, usually in less than an hour. He is definitely the reason I am receiving my social security disability today. I couldn't imagine going through this process alone. I would highly recommend Tom Lemley to anyone needing a lawyer.

SSD

He explained the process to where any one could be able to understand. Every question I had he was able to give me a clear understanding of what I would need to do or get done. When ever I had a question no matter what time of day he was able to answer, weather it was by text or phone call. I am ve...ry satisfied with this lawyer and will be recommending him to others.

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.
