The best team!

If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I would for Gail and her team! They go above and beyond. All communication was done over the phone. Documents were sent via mail or faxed. They were very sympathetic toward our cause and were very patient to answer each and every question we had, even if i...t was a repeat question. We tried filing ourselves for SSDI and were denied. With Gail's help, we were successful the second time around. I would highly recommend Gail and her team to anyone in need of her expertise.

Successful! Social Security Disability for Mental Health

After years of battling mental health issues, I came to the realization that I could no longer be productive at my job. Someone close to me suggested I contact Ms. Gail A. Spence to represent me in filing a claim for social security disability. I’m so glad that I did! After filling out a simple fo...rm on her website, I received a call from her office within a day. I provided all the requested information to Ms. Spence and she filed the application for social security disability on my behalf. Her office kept me informed of any updates as I waited for the application to be reviewed. I was shocked at how quickly my claim was reviewed and approved! I found Ms. Spence to be very professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and thorough in the handling of my case. Her expertise is beyond compare. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Spence if you’re contemplating filing for Social Security disability. Don’t do it on your own! Allow Ms. Spence to skillfully navigate the process for you…do exactly as she says and you will quickly achieve a favorable result!

Best disability lawyer!!!!

The law office of Ms. Gail A. Spence, and her office staff including Mr. Kalfani, literally saved my life, and words cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Ms. Spence for helping me win my disability case. She is extremely knowledgeable about SSD laws and works very hard for the best interest o...f her clients. Ms. Spence was very thorough, knowledgeable, understanding, and patient as she helped me obtain my disability. She returned phone calls immediately, walked me through every step of the way, and alleviated much of my anxiety while going through my disability process. Ms. Spence provided outstanding service as a lawyer and help and compassion as a great person, and I will always have a special place for her in my heart. If you want to win your Social Security disability case, then you want Ms. Spence to represent you!
