I was denied the first time I applied for disability. A previous client recommended Attorney Stephanie Lake. I consulted with the Attorney and hired her too assist me. Attorney Stephanie Lake and her team always made me feel that they cared about me and my situation. I would like too say Thank you for helping me winning my case. I appreciate you and your staff.

I was denied disability my first time. I had used a different law office that time. Frustrated I found Stephanie Lake and her firm. Let me tell you it's was a totally different experience from start to finish. They made me feel like they cared about me as a person and my claim. I live in northern Arizona so my claim was handled remotely through the mail, emails and on the phone. They were fantastic!!! They kept me updated on a regular basis, responded to my questions or concerns promptly and supplied pre postage envelopes. The prep they put into my ALJ hearing was amazing. Needless to say I received a Fully Favorable decision. Stephanie Lake and her staff made all the difference.

They have kept me up to date on my case and advised me what to do as I wait for a hearing. I no longer have to deal with social security on my own which is the best part. When you have a disability it can be overwhelming to deal with them alone.

I️ hired Stephanie to represent me for benefits from SSD. She was very thorough in getting my medical records, explaining what to expect, and following through to the very end. Although this process takes some time she will make sure your compensated. I️ highly recommend her.

I was very sick with lupus and after getting denied for ssi I called them. When I talked to a few people they said I could be denied a few times and it was better off to get an attorney. I called and they set up an appointment. After a little back and forth they got me accepted. I was told that they could take a percent of my back pay but they were so kind I believe they asked for a dollar and some change.
