Carla Wharton Earwood

My son has epilepsy and was denied twice by Social Security. We contacted two attorneys in the Houston area and both declined his case. Ms. Earwood was recommended by someone in our epilepsy support group. She reviewed and accepted my son’s case. From the beginning of the appeal process, she kept us ...informed. She was accessible and answered our questions. As our hearing date approached, she provided guidance and explained the process. As a result of her representation, my son was awarded SSDI. We are very grateful.

I will be forever grateful for the hard work and diligence of Carla Earwood and her paralegal Norman James. A few years back, I was referred to Carla via my employee assistance program. I knew from our very first conversation that we would be a good match. She absorbed a ton of info from me and I gen...uinely felt like she was empathetic of my situation. As I began to work with her, I realized how caring and compassionate she really is as a person. She is also extremely knowledgeable, friendly, communicative, punctual and kept me informed throughout every step of the process. Unfortunately, the initial decision from the SSA resulted in a denial. Carla informed me that we would immediately appeal (I didn’t lift a finger) and eventually, we won the case! It was a life changing decision for me. I should mention that there were parts of the process that were confusing (to me) but Carla navigated them with impressive professionalism. I should also mention that there were times where Carla could not be reached, but I was able to get my questions quickly answered by her assistant Norm. He is an absolute gem as well. In the end, I feel extremely fortunate to have crossed paths with Carla and her team. We had some great phone conversations and she told me a few hilarious stories along the way. Lastly, it is worth mentioning these 2 important factors. If need be, she can represent you via video even if you aren’t located in Texas, like she is. Also, my case was on a contingency basis . I never paid a dime out of pocket! I highly recommend Carla as an SSA lawyer, she will fight for you until the bitter end! So very grateful! - Dale

I cannot speak highly enough of Carla Earwood and her exceptional services. From the moment I engaged her firm, Carla demonstrated not only an impressive depth of legal knowledge but also a genuine compassion for my situation, which made all the difference in navigating the complexities of the disabi...lity claims process. One of Carla's greatest strengths is her unwavering commitment to her clients. She took the time to thoroughly understand my unique circumstances, patiently answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had along the way. Her empathetic approach made me feel heard and supported throughout the entire process, easing much of the stress and uncertainty that often accompanies disability claims. In addition to her legal prowess, Carla's communication skills are exemplary. She kept me informed of all developments related to my case promptly and transparently, ensuring that I was always kept in the loop. Her dedication to advocating for my rights as a disabled individual was unwavering, and I am profoundly grateful for her steadfast advocacy on my behalf.

Attorney Carla Earwood and Paralegal Norman James work tirelessly, are compassionate, and extremely experienced. No doubt, my fully favorable decision would have been rendered sooner than seven years had they been involved from the beginning of the process. Initially, I applied without consulting a...n attorney and was denied twice. About halfway through the process, I retained Ms. Earwood, who came highly recommended by a lawyer friend. Ms. Earwood’s knowledge of the entire process led to a face-to-face hearing despite SSA efforts to drop the case, move the case to another state, and schedule multiple video hearings in lieu of a live face to face hearing. There was an extremely large volume of medical records and reports, and Ms. Earwood came thoroughly prepared for the hearing. Ms. Earwood brought the matter to a successful and life changing resolution. I will be forever grateful for Ms. Earwood’s counsel and representation.

We will be forever grateful to Carla Earwood and her team for providing us with their incredible guidance, expertise and support for our medical disability situation! Carla's commitment to her clients is absolutely unprecedented and her determination to win is an inspiration for anyone needing her s...tellar legal representation. My husband became medically disabled almost a year ago, and with Carla's guidance, we were able to successfully navigate the complex world of the social security administration, and thanks to her leadership, our claim was approved! Carla's sense of urgency and compassion for her clients was amazing, she is the best and our family is forever grateful for her legal expertise and her great team that supports her and supported us!
