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!

The best disability attorney

We had an amazing experience with this attorney. After my husband’s disability case was denied, Ms. Spence immediately filed an appeal and worked hard to expedite everything. Thanks to her dedication and knowledge, his case was approved in just one week. She was professional, responsive, and knew exa...ctly what to do every step of the way. During a very stressful time, she gave us confidence and peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for all her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone . She is the best . She truly cares about her clients.
