Thank you!!

To rate Ms Gail A. Spence with 5 stars is truly underestimating her and her staff. Due to my disabilities I was at a loss in what to do in regards to my Social Security Disability and the complicated process. With all the physical and mental pain I endure each and everyday I neither had the experien...ce or the mind set to deal with all that was being thrown my way. The law office of Ms Gail A. Spence and her office staff including Mr. Kalfani made my experience as easy and stress free as it could ever be. (I just could not deal with anymore stress, I was completely overwhelmed) Ms. Spence and her staff’s experience, knowledge, professionalism and compassion for me every step of the way made this whole complicated process as easy as it could be. She is very informative and always communicated letting me know how things were going with my case. She always took her time explaining things and made sure that I would understand her due to my disability. I couldn’t of done it without her, or ask for more. I would recommend Ms. Spence to anyone and for making this pain staking process as easy as she made it for me. I am very grateful to her and to all her hard work!!

The Best Attorney Ever!

I am so grateful that Attorney Gail Spence agreed to work on my case after the failed attempts I encountered with another firm. She is extremely knowledgeable, and was very sensitive and sympathetic to my situation. She provided a "no surprises” process where I was given all of my case progress as so...on as it was available. Attorney Spence and her office staff are always courteous and responsive; I could not ask for more. Attorney Spence is the best attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Thanks a million!

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.
