Excellent Service

I was very happy dealing with Ms. Spence and her effort to win my case. She made everything very easy to understand and got me the help I needed in a timely manner. My family is finally at ease knowing I won my case. I would highly recommend Ms. Spence to anyone in need of assistance with SSDI.

Terrific Attorney

It was a pleasure working with Ms Spence. She filed all the necessary paperwork and stayed on top of Social Security until my claim was finalized. Highly recommended!

An attorney that cares and will walk you through every step of the way. Made me feel comfortable and hopeful, thank you!

I hired Ms. Spence on August 2025 after being denied twice and having trouble securing the right attorney. Ms. Spence went out of her way to make sure we had all the right details and documentation. She was very understanding of my situation and talked me through every step with incredible detail. I ...had my hearing in February 2026 and 3 days later I was approved. Ms. Spence literally changed the trajectory of my life for the better but I didn’t know what’d I do next. Now I do thanks to Ms. Spence. If you need an attorney that’s thoughtful, polite, and very thorough, Ms. Spence is the perfect attorney. I’m eternally grateful to her and her paralegal for their expertise. She was always there to answer the phone whenever I had concerns or questions and made me feel comfortable with my case with Ms. Spence as my attorney. Once again, Thank you!

Professional and compassionate.

I was injured seriously at work in September 2024. After about a year of care which included numerous doctors, specialists, procedures and surgeries it became clear to me that my injuries would be lasting and permanent. I called the Law Office of Gail A Spence (based solely on online reviews) and fro...m the start I knew I would be taken care of. Miss Spence most of all is a very caring person and treats you respectfully and compassionately. She is very knowledgeable and wont waste your time if you do not have a solid case. Her communication is direct and to the point and she will not waste your time with unnecessary information or long needless phone calls. She keeps you centered if you start talking about something not pertinent to the case. Just know behind the scenes she is handling everything, She is concise in her questions and knows how to present your medical condition. She and her paralegal staff (Mr. Calfani) were always very quick to return calls and to provide updates when necessary. This put me at ease knowing my case was getting the attention it needed. I would absolutely recommend Gail A Spence and her team if you are considering applying for SS Disability.
