Amazing

My attorney Steven Earl with Apex Disability Law is amazing. My 2nd time applying for SSD I was so lost until I hired him. He was there every step, answered all questions and informed me of every step. He is so knowledgeable in court and did amazing. I won my case this 2nd time. The attorney prior to... him was horrible and didn't care about my case I believe I was just another case for while Steven Earl cared, keeps up with all changes in SSD and takes pride in what he does. So blessed to have found him.

Great Essential Help

Steve and all the staff are very good at what they do and so kind. You absolutely need a disability lawyer to help you deal with the system and to support your case. Apex makes it so much easier, they take on some of the stress for you and a lot of the confusing logistical work. The social security a...dministration is very slow, broken, and impersonal. Having a lawyer on your side who knows it is immensely helpful. The fees are totally reasonable and I couldn't have gotten what I need without Apex disability law. If you're thinking about or in the process of applying you should definitely hire somebody if not Steven Earl.

THE TBI Guy

I found Mr. Earl after another firm dropped my case after working with them and jumping through hoops for over 2 years just prior to my hearing. After freaking out for a few days I found out about Apex Disability and Steven Earl. After explaining my situation with the receptionist I was placed on... hold for a brief moment and she came back and told me that Mr. Earl would take my case. I had already been dumped by one firm and turned down by two and I was worried that maybe he just needed a client? I later learned that he has represented many TBI cases. We went to court on October 7th and I am still waiting to hear a decision but I am confident that the outcome will be a positive one. Mr. Earl is very professional and passionate and I would enthusiastically reccomend his services.

Need a Social Security Disability attorney? Yeah...stpp looking and Call Steven Earl of Apex Disability

I am 95% deaf, 75% blind and both my right and left shoulders are messed up from accidents to the point that both arms are nearly useless. The Social Security system sees these as....minor issues. There's no reason, in their eyes, I cannot go back to my former profession that required me to climb... around on the roofs of buildings, crawl around in crawlspaces and oh, yeah.....drive to get to the job (how would you like knowing that a guy who can't see is driving past your kids' school on the way to work?). M probalme is I don't "look" disabled when you see me standing in line at the bank. I look healhty. So, I must be, right>Wrong. In any case, Steven saw immediately that my level of disability was not only real but severe. Unlike ALL of the other disability attorneys I spoke with, his primary concern was NOT getting $500 or $1000 out of me "upfront" for "fees." He saw immediately that my case, while a bit tough because one of my disabilities ALONE might not make me totally disabled, he clearly saw my case as a challenge. One he wanted to take on and one, I am happy to report, that he easily, but expertly overcame in court. While the judge saw nothing wrong with sending a blind, deaf, crippled old guy "back to work" in a busy restaurant kitchen, warehouse or production plant, Steven saw that as just what it is: dangerous to me and to others and he argued effectively, eloquently and, ultimately, successfully that no, in fact, this guy is totally disabled. In record time, as I understand it, after Steven . . .educated the judge and the voc rehab expert, I got my settlement with Social Security. If any lawyers can walk on water, this guy, Steven Earl of Apex Disability Law, is the one who can. James
