Wonderful Attorney

Carla Earwood is smart and kind. She is available to the phone. She is extremely knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to help you win your case.

The most professional lawyer I have ever dealt with

We never felt being rushed away or not paid enough attention to. Great job done in short time. Representation at its best before a judge.

Outstanding! Simply the best.

After attempting to navigate the SSN disability process, I knew I needed a professional. When I first spoke with Carla on the phone, I explained my very complicated case/condition. Other attorneys had turned me away but Carla listened and explained how the process works, and how we would explain my n...eeds/situation so that I would be approved. We met later in the week and we submitted my application. Then the papers came to my house asking about work and personal life. There were so many questions I was lost as a goose in high weeds. So I called her assistant, Norm. He is a Rock Star! He was able to help me do them correctly and navigate the hithers and thithers put before me. Together they make a power team and I was approved. Not only did they do a professional job, they CARED. They return calls and keep you in the loop. They are your A Team.

GRATEFUL

After at least 5 years of applying and being turned down due to lack of medical information. The records were there but the other attorneys I THOUGHT were helping me just did not do the job. Carla Earwood and Norman were smart, classy, reliable, firm, serious, and ultimately more productive in just a... few months than the surgeons and doctors treating the tumor in my head. Thank you so much Carla Ear wood and Norman!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
