Resolved my case quickly, to my advantage.

I hired Gail A Spence to handle my problematic disability claim. Ms. Spence and her staff treated my case with compassion and courtesy, and left no stone unturned in handling my case, which was resolved in less than six months. Highly recommended!

Fantastic disability lawyer

Ms. Spence is a kind and compassionate person that is experienced in her field and was able to help me greatly after I had a catastrophic injury to my foot. She is knowledgeable and super-efficient, and was able to help me when the state was failing. I cannot express enough gratitude, and appreciate ...all the hard work that she and her staff provided me in my time of need.

Ms. Spence

I cannot recommend Ms. Spence and her team highly enough. From the very beginning, Ms. Spence was compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated to my case. Navigating the disability claims process can be overwhelming, but she made everything easier by explaining each step and ensuring that all paperwor...k was handled properly and efficiently. Her attention to detail was evident throughout the process and her persistence with paid off. Beyond just her legal skills, she also cared about my well-being especially during this hard time. I am very grateful for her help.

Simply, the Best

A friend needed to apply for SSDI and asked for my help. After looking at the SS site, I realized we needed for help. I called several lawyers who were of little help, a couple told me to file and call if/when denied. Luck was on my side when I called Ms. Spence. Oh my goodness! She and her paras... did everything. Spoke to my friend to gather the pertinent information and anticipated all requests from SS. If any records were needed, she walked us through the process. Approval in less than 4 months. She is on top of her game and knows exactly what is needed. DO NOT HESITATE. Call her office. She also provided some moral support for me ( no charge). Thank you, Ms. Spence. You made a difference.

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!
