We were referred to Ms Spence for SSDI by a friend. Ms Spence did a wonderful job going through all the information for SSDI, steps and paperwork. It took several weeks for the process, Ms Spence or her office staff called us every week or two to keep us informed . This process was during COVID. We ...we very happy and pleased with Ms Spence and her staff for all her help and would recommend her to our family or friends.

Thank God i had Ms. Spence representing me after my claim was denied.

Ms. Spence is extremely patient, professional, thorough and reassuring. At times i felt so overwhelmed but she would always help me to refocus. She encouraged me to stay the course. I was kept updated and informed by her and her staff while she worked tirelessly to get my case approved quickly. I wi...ll always be grateful to her and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a Social Security lawyer. Thank you Ms. Spence.

Excellence! Quick results!

am incredibly grateful to have had Ms. Spence work on my brother's SSD case. I am also an attorney and can recognize excellence when I see it. I saw it with her. I initially went to the SS website to get other benefits for my brother and sought Ms. Spence out for the SSD benefits. Through some s...ignificant error on my part, I put in an application for SSD which compromised my brother's application. He was denied. I was crestfallen. Ms. Spence continued to represent my brother and somehow repaired the damage I did. She turned the entire situation around. My brother won the case and received his benefits in a matter of months. She's incredible. Ms. Spence is professional, compassionate, smart, and thorough. She explains what's going on without being condescending. She has the patience of Job and it was often demonstrated in her interactions with me as she represented my brother. She and her paralegals were a pleasure to work with as they made a very difficult time for me, tolerable. I highly recommend her.

Gail A Spence: Unicorn, Champion, Superhero, Justice Gladiator!

A Unicorn is what I’ve often called Ms. Spence and her team during consultations regarding our case. However, I have come to realize that this term does not adequately define attorney Gail Spence and her team and would like to use this space to set the record straight. Ms. Spence is a real-life sup...er hero. She and her team are champions of the underserved and overlooked; a voice for those who have none and fierce advocate for justice. She saved a life in my situation, literally. If it wasn’t for her, all would have been lost. Overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, she never wavered or forsaken us. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have Ms. Spence represent us. I cannot recommend highly enough, Ms. Gail A. Spence and her team. Although I know she had other cases, she ALWAYS made time for us, answering any questions, and taking the time to truly explain what was happening step by step as the case progressed. I want to thank Ms. Gail A. Spence and her team again for their hard work, persistence and fortitude in seeing this case through.
