I retained Carla Earwood in 2009. She helped me with all the paperwork, and stuck with me through losses because of no fault of hers. She never lost faith that I would one day win. I moved to Georgia in 2015 pretty much giving up on my disability, but she never did. She appealed time and time with m...ore documentation. In june of 2020, during the pandemic, I had my last hearing over the phone with Mrs Earwood and the judge. It didn't take a month before I was approved. Now, they don't normally take that long, and I was, I'm sure the longest ongoing case she ever had, but she never let me down. Norman, her paralegal, was always available to answer questions, answered my emails within 30 minutes, and helped me with so much. I have referred people to her because she's professional, ethical, and never leaves a stone unturned. I have the utmost respect for her and her staff. Alot of attorneys take the full amount that is held out for them. After all the years, she invoiced for alot less than I KNOW she was entitled to receive. This speaks volumes about her not only as an attorney, but as a person. If you need a good disability attorney, you won't be disappointed if you use Carla Earwood. Thanks for everything!

Absolutely a miracle

I hired Carla to represent my wife after she had been turned down twice by Social Security. Carla and her assistant researched my wife's case and discovered some information that SS had ignored or missed. They found things WE didn't know. She sheduled a court date and represented us before the Judge,... professionally presenting the evidence to prove our case. The Judge ruled in our favor and my wife is now receiving her disability funds that we honestly never thought we would get. I can't thank Carla enough.

The best help!

I was referred to Carla by a friend when starting my disability case. Carla met with me ONCE and told me that I wouldn't need her services. I would almost certainly be approved with my first application. I was! I still had issues finding health insurance. I called Carla back to ask her after getting... very disorganized answers from both HHCS & SSI. She told me what was available to me in my area. 30 min later, I'm insured! Thank you Carla, for helping me even tho you were never officially hired or paid. She is a blessing.
