Exceptional disability attorney

EXCELLENT disability attorney! I highly recommend Ms. Spence and her extremely professional/courteous staff. Ms. Spence and her paralegal Mr. Khalfani, went above and beyond to help me win my claim for SSD. She is very diligent, knowledgeable and kind. She always answered all my questions qui...ckly. Even more important, she was able to put me at ease during a very stressful and overwhelming process... I was very worried as I got denied at first but Ms. Spence ensured we didn't give up and continued on fighting for me to win my case! Thanks to her relentless work ethic, true dedication and honest commitment to her clients my claim was won and my payment was processed right away. My family and I are forever GRATEFUL to her and all her hard work.

To say Ms. Spence went above and beyond is an understatement. Eternally grateful to Ms. Spence and her staff.

My son suffered a brain injury on April of 2024. His condition unfortunately renders him to not be able to work. We applied for SSD/SSI benefits on August of 2024 and he was denied in February of 2025 because they deemed him to be able to work and that was not the case. Shortly after he consulted Ms.... Spence. She was very understanding and thoughtful with the situation. Ms. Spence was able to explain everything to my son with thoroughness and detail & also made him feel comfortable through the whole ordeal. Any questions or concerns we had she answered promptly and with detail. He had his hearing on February 2026 and he was approved “fully favorable” for all benefits 4 days after the hearing.Her staff was polite and called often to check up on him and made sure everything was up to par. I would like to express my gratitude to Ms. Spence and her team because they changed the course of our lives for the better. Even after the case was done she would still call to see how we were doing and how the progress was going. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. I’m eternally grateful to Ms. Spence. She treated us as if we were part of her family, we felt confident and trusting through this whole process. Thank you Ms. Spence!
