This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Understanding; Went above and beyond; extremely professional; very caring.

Elizabeth is the most caring and understanding human being not only in the professional experience, but she made me feel safe, like a real person not just because of my disability. She consulted with me, reviewed all my doctors evaluations, MRIs, CT exams, doctors notes etc. work history, and co...mpiled a strong case for me. We consulted two times in her office and have four phone conversations. We emailed several times back and forth. We could not go to the court house for my hearing because of COVID-19 so I was able to sit with her in her office for the hearing as well. I have a deformed brain that is getting worse. Physically I look normal, but over the past several years I started to lose my memory, comprehension, speech, etc. This is not a normal type of disability, but Elizabeth was able to provide the correct information and presented a case that was successful. The judge declared that I have disability. I would highly recommend Elizabeth as your attorney.

I felt well prepared

After receiving a denial upon my own application for benefits, I consulted with Elizabeth Smith to see if she thought she could help. She was honest with me about what she thought the issues were but was confident that she could help. Elizabeth met with me prior to the hearing with the judge and I ...felt well prepared as to what questions would be asked of me. After a year of waiting, I was pleased to find out that I had been granted benefits and could finally stop worrying about helping to provide for my family. Elizabeth was always considerate when meeting with me and made me feel like a person and not just another case.

Experienced, effective disability attorney

I was discouraged after having my initial SSDI application denied. Fortunately, I contacted Elizabeth Smith. She has an intuitive understanding of what her clients need. Not only did she demonstrate legal expertise, but she also displayed a compassion that is often lacking in professionals. She and h...er staff were able to get all of the records and documentation needed for my case with a polite but firm "Urgent--ACTION NEEDED" subject line. Elizabeth was patient and kind with me and prepared me at length for my hearing. I felt very confident having her by my side as the ALJ asked questions. I'm certain that Elizabeth's advice throughout the process are what led to a fully favorable decision in my case.

"People", not "clients"

I can't say enough good things about Elizabeth. While professionally guiding my daughter through the appeal process, she always made her feel that she was in her corner. looking out for her in such a way that she still felt her "self-worth" which was so important. Elizabeth knows the system and hel...ps you through it, supporting you all the way. If you're looking for someone who is there when you need them, Elizabeth is the attorney you want. She is a good person who sees you as a "person" not just a "client".

Professional, knowledgeable, caring

The very idea of going through the appeal process was overwhelming, but Elizabeth was always there encouraging, answering any questions and making herself available whenever I needed her. I really felt that she cared. She, at the same time, was professional and knowledgeable and steered me through ...the system seamlessly. I highly recommend her.
