A great attorney

After trying for a few years to get my disability, Sharon Myers got it for me within a few months. She and her staff were very informative, helpful and very easy to talk to. I know it's been a couple of years Mrs Myers, but you are greatly appreciated and thank you for all you do. I have sent her a f...ew friends, and we'll send more if they arise. If you're looking for a disability attorney to represent you she is very good at what she does.

Disappointed Experience

The primary complaint I have with Sharon Meyers specifically is the fact that she knew in advance of taking on my case--one month and a half before my review/hearing date--that I had prior legal representation. My transparency when I initially contacted Ms. Meyers and disclosed the name of my prior l...egal counsel as well as the fact that I was briefly represented by Legal Aid, was not reciprocated with transparency from the Myers firm about how the prior representation would impact the timing and overall fee petition decision of the Judge in my case. Because of prior representatives who did not waive their fees, the Judge did not approve the fee petition as part of the Notice of Award in September 2018. After contacting prior representatives, who previously provided me with a letter saying they were no longer representing me, I was advised they don't waive fees even when they opt to no longer represent a client. Aware there was specified time period for the representatives to respond, I contacted the Myers firm on January 2, 2019: They had NOT filed the fee petition, claiming they were not aware of my awarded SSD benefits. No one from the Meyers firm contacted me, but they stated they were awaiting a reply to their request for my award notice to file the fee petition. Only after I reached out to the Myers firm on January 2, 2019 again did they ask me to provide them with a copy of my award notice. As of March 2, 2019, I have received no updates from Judge’s office nor Myers about the fee petition. As professionals, it would have been appropriate for the Myers law office to provide me with realistic expectations for this process. Based my experience, I would not recommend.

  • 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.
