After 5 long years of trying to regain my health and return to work, it became clear that my career…read morewas over. It was a very difficult decision to file for disability but Brandi Anderson with Desert Disability came along side me with great compassion and understanding. She assisted me through a scary and sometime difficult process. She was always on top of everything and available. She guided me through all the paper work, phone calls, and gave me confidence. I am very grateful for her professionalism and kindness. Thank you Brandi!

They represented my very difficult claim. I was denied at first. Jeff knew I had a just claim and…read morehe fought for me. Did a perfect job. My claim was accepted without limitation at the very technical and thorough hearing for reconsideration (what ever that court hearing is called). My claim was difficult but strong. If you have a weak claim, no one will be able to help you. If you have a serious claim with real documentable injuries/issues, Jeff will get you the award you deserve. I have worked with people with brain injuries. Jeff can do wonderful things for those clients. In my case, My (non-brain) injuries stemmed from a barely survivable head-on collision over 40 years ago. I managed to recover with a great deal of effort. Mostly strong muscles supporting and compensating for severe skeletal damage. I had a long productive career. I loved my job. Recent injuries destabilized those compensating mechanisms leaving me in constant pain, weakness, and unable to sit unmedicated for long periods of time. I did not want to go on disability. I had no choice. If you have a complicated but honest claim like I did, AND you are willing to work to your best ability with Jeff, He can do wonders.

During all this time I had an amazing woman working on my case. Joanna Noriega. Joanna was there for me always. When I called with questions she returned calls ASAP and was tremendously empathetic.

Joanna Noriega is, in my opinion, sure to be a person of importance and a great lawyer. Mark Caldwell's office helped as well. Thank you

He's has many years experience and explained to me the every detail of what we can do to get my claim reopened and with success. I have kept Paul as my attorney for about 10 years with all my confidence and trust. Now I was able to close my claim and have all that behind me. Couldn't have happened without his help. Thank you, Paul, for everything you have done for me. I highly recommend your services to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate disability attorney.

Hi Paul, I just…read morewanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you did to help me win my disability case.

I tried to get everything done myself, I followed guidelines and answered every question and after…read morea year of trying ,I failed ,but the paperwork said I had the right to legal representation .

*Stephanie is calming that Yelp is messing with her reviews. There's nothing wrong with all these…read more1-2 star reviews, BECAUSE THEY'RE TRUE! SHE HAS *5-5 STAR REVIEWS AND *25-1 STAR REVIEWS! Apparently she can't do math either. Everything that everyone's saying is true. Your little post about Yelp messing with your reviews is a lie. The truth is YOU SUCK and no one's falling for it. But keep posting it on almost EVERY BAD REVIEW! Trying to lie, again.... 25 times! Photos attached. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! They don't even deserve one star. This "law firm" and "Lawyer" Stephanie Lake are ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! DO NOT HIRE THEM!!! The lawyer is rude, unprofessional and doesn't do her job. They have been "helping me" with my disability case and have done absolutely nothing but send me the same paperwork I get from Disability directly, and just add a cover letter. They NEVER contact you! I haven't spoken with, or been contacted by, anyone from their office since September of 2023. It's now 2025 and I had to call them! I've called Stephanie twice, years apart, and she NEVER called me back. The office staff is the rudest I've ever dealt with. The woman I spoke to was rude, talked down to me, wouldn't let me talk and when I did get a word in she just yelled over me. It was a horrible experience. Then, I finally get a call from Stephanie today and she's a total B*TCH. All I wanted was an update on my case because I have NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION from them. Since 2021. NOTHING! And that's when her head exploded and she went psycho. She started yelling at me telling me everything was my fault. She lied and said I hadn't been turning in my paperwork, which I had. She literally went nuts. I think it's because I figured out the scam. She had nothing to show me because they hadn't done anything about my case. She didn't even know who I was. They take cases and then do as little as possible. Then she FIRED me as a client, wouldn't let me speak, and then HUNG UP ON ME! Like a child. She's supposed to be professional. Is that way she should be treating her Clients? She's crazy and should be nowhere near a court room. I was going to her to help me and all she did was make things worse for me. I have a very serious mental health condition and Stephine should have know that if she actually read my case. I don't need her and her crappy office people making me feel worse! In closing I just want to say AVOID THIS LAW FIRM AND STEPHANIE LAKE. Rudest, most unprofessional group of people I've ever encountered. They don't do their jobs and they're rude as hell on top of it. When you're sick and trying to get disability you need someone compassionate on your side. She IS NOT that person. I beg you to find someone else. Oh and report her to the Bar of Arizona. I am!

I had security called on me by the SSA when they stole all 8 years of my backpay and gave me a wage…read moreequivalent to less than half of minimum wage here and I was not okay with it so my legal right to dispute the crime against humanity that is how the SSA is treating me was never allowed. This is a criminal act by a US agency against a fully disabled person. I have been trying to survive on not enough for a single healthy person to survive for years and am only not homeless because my mother is sheltering me. I was referred to this Disability Help Group Arizona after contacting another advocate and these people here offered zero help, suggestions or anything useful then rudely hung up on me. Thanks for nothing. I will be here suffering because of this country's asinine government until I can find out how to get the SSA to pay me something at least resembling enough to live.
