Posted by Michael R | July 22, 2014 | Appeals

The Best (and the last) Social Security/ Disability lawyer you will ever need.

Sara Handled my disability case amazingly quickly and I had my judgment in less than a year from start to finish! You might not believe it, or ever heard of such a thing, but she is the real deal. She has the skill and experience to use every means, tool, and little known rule to make things happen f...or people who worked all their lives and don't deserve the run around. If there's one person who can possibly help you, she's the one you want standing next to you on hearing or appeal day.

Not only does she know the law, as any good lawyer should, but she also listens closely to clients in order to understand their individual situations so that she can give them the best possible advice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
