About

For the past 5 years, I have concentrated my efforts in assisting the disabled community in getting the benefits they deserve. I have vast experience, having won hundreds of claims* arguing cases before Social Security Administrative Law Judges in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.  It takes time to get to know the system and the judges.  You need an attorney with experience in the trenches!  That is me!   I know what it takes to fight for what you want, and deserve.  I was born and raised in Texas, where I raised 2 children, ran a successful solar products company and graduated cum laude from the School of Criminology at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Crysti Farra is an excellent and sharp advocate. She has been very help to mutual clients. I would not hesitate to continue working with her in the future. She helps clients obtain very important benefits when they are in serious need.

Crysti Farra has specialized in SS Disability for years and thoroughly knows the ins and outs of it through both training and experience. I highly recommend her—it was worth paying her to handle my claim application. I wasn't sure I would qualify for disability, and most people I spoke to told me to do it myself online and not pay a lawyer to file the claim, but when I had a question and had to call the 800#, it was a 5-hour wait. Fortunately another lawyer referred me to Ms. Farra. She spent a lot of time on the phone explaining things to me and answering my long list of questions. She filled out all the paperwork as I was unable to do it myself due to my disability, and she was patient and compassionate and pragmatic. My claim was approved and Crysti has continued to be there for me every time I have a question, and I've had lots of questions. I really, really like her even though I've never met her in person. We have done everything by phone, email and US Mail. I also called the regional bar association and did some research before contacting her. I found only positive reviews of her. Now I add my positive review.

I am so fortunate to have been recommended to Crysti Farra. I had been so anxious trying to literally figure out not only how I would get through all of my medical issues, but how I could possibly handle all of the paperwork and navigation required for the social security application process. Crysti was so knowledgable and organized about my options when we first spoke over the phone that I immediately felt put to ease. She offered to meet me at my apartment based on my limitations, and again was organized, but also so human and compassionate in a healthy professional way. When I was able to work, I always prided myself on taking good care of my clients and being detailed oriented, efficient, time sensitive, deadline driven, and proactive as well as making each client feel special as if they were my only client. I was fully present for my clients and that's what I found in Crysti. She walked me through the process, supported me along the way and was always available by phone or email (or there was a quick response). Crysti clearly knows how to do her job, and also make her clients (or at least me) feel totally confident that everything was going to be okay.
