All throughout the representation I received with Attorney-at-law Ms. Gail Spence in my disability case, I always had a great sense of comfort and confidence having Ms. Spence on my side because of her thorough and efficient professionalism she demonstrated to me and for me each step of the way. I can't thank her and her assistant, Mr. Kalfani, enough for their guidance and support in bringing about for me the successful outcome for my case.

Ms. Gail Spence goes above and beyond the call of duty for her clients. From the day I met Ms. Spence, she has worked very hard on my case. I thank God for sending me to her. When I was home waiting for a court date for the next year, I received a call and it was a very soft and caring voice on the other end of my phone, It was Ms. Spence. She had advised me, after working diligently on my case, that my case was approved. I will refer Ms. Spence to anyone whom need their social security case addressed and worked on. She is the best attorney I ever had. I wish she could assist me in other matters because I know I would not have to worry.

Ms. Spence is just wonderful. She was very efficient at handling my case and kept me up to date throughout the entire process. She is a very caring person and expressed sincere concern for my well being and my disability. I would recommend her to anyone who finds themselves needing a good, no make that great disability lawyer. Ms. Spence was very easy to work with throughout the process and she was very comfortable in court as well. I really can not say enough good things about her or her staff. I would give her 10 stars if that was an option.

As I read through all the wonderful reviews from clients who have already won there disability case, I felt led to write my honest opinion as a client who is still waiting for a decision to be made on my reconsideration request. Let me start by saying, I already know I obtained the best Social Security attorney in NJ! Ms. Spence and her team have been on top of every piece of correspondence from social security and on top of me to make sure I get done what I need to get done. As someone who suffers from major depression and agoraphobia, I try to avoid contact with people and the public as much as possible, but Ms. Spence understands that and has been able to communicate with me in a way that makes me feel safe enough to place my trust (and case) with her and her team. I stick by my review no matter what happens with my case, because I know she is trying her hardest and best to obtain a successful appeal. Thank you for believing in me and being so understanding of my needs.

My Husband applied for SSDI, and found Ms.Spence through her reviews. If you are looking for a reliable Attorney, look no further. She is kind, honest, thoughtful and very professional. If you are truly sick, she will get you your SSDI, if you follow her instructions. My husband is a 9-11 Worker who has multiple issues. We were always updated, either through Ms. Spence or Khalfani constantly. Very Professional, and the best choice we made in a long time. Thank you for all you have done.

Ms. Spence has provided an outstanding customer service. She handled my wife case with extreme professionalism yet friendly and compassionate. Her guidance was detailed and precise, we followed her instructions step by step and she lead as to winning the case in no time. She never refused to help even after the case was closed. We are truly grateful for her kind, professional and excellent service. I'd highly recommend her to all who need help in fighting SSA bureaucracy. She is an extremely hard working and diligent attorney.

First and foremost, if there were 1000 stars, it would not reflect the superb service received from this phenomenal layer Ms. Gail A. Spence. I can honestly say, there aren't many lawyers out there, who takes the time and meticulously explain each step of the legal process/ procedures. One will leave her office with a clear understanding of what the pros and cons are. I felt very comfortable expressing myself and sharing any concerns. Just like speaking to a close friend. Hence, making this whole process less stressful. I also had the opportunity working with lawyers in my field of work. This exposure/experience helped me to measure "quality legal services". Ms. Gail A. Spence was highly recommended to me by another trusted attorney. I am so grateful! Ms. Gail A. Spence's impeccable reputation and cases "won ", speaks for itself. * These overt characteristics makes her Law Firm Unique! Respectfully, Donna and Tawan **************

By the time I called Ms. Spence I was completely burned out by trying to get disability. I had prior inadequate representation. I was very impressed at our consultation. She made it very clear to me what she expected me to do as a client and what I could expect of her as my attorney. I found Ms. Spence and her staff very caring, courteous and professional. I was kept informed about each step in the process of my claim. I got my claim approved in a much faster time frame than I expected. I highly recommend Ms. Spence to anyone applying for disability.

The Law office of Gail A. Spence is one of compassion, professionalism and high integrity. I felt well taken care of during a very difficult time in my life. My ailing health makes it hard for me to get around and Ms. Spence took that into consideration limiting my activities for my case. I was impressed when they called me to wish me a happy birthday. Without hesitation I would recommend her office for those in need of her services. Her practice is very clean and presentable. Mr. Khalfani has a soothing voice making it quite pleasant to speak to. I wish more lawyers and their practices would be as professional and caring as Ms. Spence's practice. Thank you Ms. Spence for all that you did for me. Thank you Mr. Khalfani for your assistance as well. I will never forget you both. Stay blessed.

Ms. Spence is the most professional and courteous executive I have ever known. I couldn't imagine going through the nightmare called SSA without her. Ms. Spence goes right for the meat of a case and crosses her t's and dots her I's. Through the 2 plus years I felt exceptionally represented.
Thank You

Review for Ms. Gail Spence

I would like to thank Ms. Spence and her staff for everything they have done to help me file the necessary paperwork for my Social Security Disability. After researching for the best lawyer who specializes in Social Security Disability I came across Ms. Spence's website. Her website really was informative and had excellent information which attracted my attention. I contacted Ms. Spence's office and within 15 to 20 minutes she returned my phone call. We discussed my case and then made an appointment for a consultation. After meeting with Ms. Spence she explained everything in detail which made me feel comfortable and confident in her ability to help me. She kept me informed every step of the way. She was on top of all the necessary paperwork and answered all my questions. My case was resolved faster than I could have ever anticipated. Ms. Spence and her paralegal stands by you from beginning to end. You can always call and contact either one of them. Ms Spence is a very professional,knowledgeable and highly competent attorney. I would highly recommend Ms. Spence and her staff to anyone that needed help in filing for Social Security Disability. - Ms J. Alexander

She was extremly professional, caring and understanding and walked me through every step of the way. I am so grateful to have been referred to her office and extremely thankful for what she has done for my family. I could not have done it without her. If you are looking for an Attorney who will fight for what you deserve and never give up the definitely call her!

I’m writing this review and hope that it helps someone like her previous reviews helped me decide on Attorney Ms. Gail Spence. Ms. Spence and staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and the best Disability Attorney. I made the mistake and applied for disability myself. I got denied. I was so upset and started looking for an Attorney and came across Attorney Gail A. Spence. I reached out to her office and spoke with her assistant Mr. Khalfani. He was very professional and informed me that she would get back in touch with me. She did very quickly. She went over my case and told me the Pros and Cons regarding my case at that point. Thankfully she took my case and it was a 2 year process. We had to go to Trial. I’m so grateful for her professionalism and knowledge because my case turned out successfully. Her staff is very caring and understanding about her clients during this whole process. They are with you throughout the whole process. She’s the best. Thank you the office of Gail A. Spence

Attorney Gail Spence did a superb job on my case last year. She was with me every step of the way, providing feedback, advice, and emotional support. Ms. Spence is honest, sincere, and reliable. I knew from her first meeting that Ms. Spence would do everything possible for my case, and she certainly followed through. I highly recommend her for anyone that’s applying for social security. -Maria Silva

From the beginning Mrs Spence was so patient, kind and understanding. The process was so complicated but she broke it down in a way my husband and I could understand. She was always so respectful and compassionate about our situation. It is very hard to be young and have your life change so drastically by an illness that you never saw coming, its like being on a rollercoaster that never stops and is always upside-down, but knowing she was in our corner and fighting for us was such a blessing.

I’ve had a positive experience with this law office. Miss Spence was very pleasant, up front and extremely genuine. She fought for me and won what I deserved. It took many years of getting denied before I turned to an attorney. Miss Spence will work hard for you as well.

Miss Spence came recommended to me through an old friend,an attorney, he in turn put me in contact with an injury lawyer who he respected,. Upon calling this gentleman I was told by him to call Miss Spence and as he said there is no one better at her job as this is her only specialty.....he was 100% right....From the onset she put myself and my wife at ease.... professional, calming, and always on top of things. Her assistant , who I don't want to misspell his name but I'll try, Khalfani, seemed to call me Everytime I received something in the mail beforehand...this was a truly very easy process thanks to Miss Spence...I truly believe she loves her job because she loves to help people that she knows are in need...that is a rare quality...couldn't thank them more.

I am writing this with heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the hardwork, dedication, compassion and directive received from Attorney Ms. Gail Spence, and her assistant Kelfani. Their attention to detail and handholding throughout this strenuous process is greatly appreciated.

I extend gratitude to Ms. Spence in particular, from the inception of my case until its completion, she provided preeminent legal services to my husband and myself. She worked with me through all of my issues.

Even at moments when I was so overwhelmed that I could not comprehend the simplest of tasks, she was right there to guide me and reassure me that the process would work out in my favor.

She was even able to have my case escalated due to the massive crisis and hardships we were facing. In addition, since my initial application was filed pro se and denied, she mentioned to the judge that I should have applied much earlier and was able to get my application approved and back dated. Moreover, I am 100% certain that we would not have been successful without her perseverance, intellect and steadfast application of the law.

I highly recommend her legal services to anyone and everyone applying for disability.

Again, Ms. Spence, THANK YOU!!!

It was such a challenging journey but you made it pay off in the end.

Ms. Gail Spence has been a blessing to my family and I. From the moment she agreed to take my case she was with me every step of the way. She kept me informed, filled out the necessary forms and took care of everything my case required. I was at a pivotal point in my life, feeling distressed and vulnerable knowing that I could no longer perform the duties I so much enjoyed due to a worsening disability. Put your trust in her, as I did, and she will do her very best in helping secure a better financial future for you and your family. Ms. Spence is honest, kind, empathetic and efficient. She is very respectful and understanding of your crisis situation. She did much to calm my anxiety and put me at ease by actually listening to my concerns. I wholeheartedly recommend her. A most heartfelt thank you Ms. Spence!

We were referred to Gail by our attorney. Ms. Spence keeps things as streamlined and straight forward as possible.

She does what any attorney worth their salt should do in that she lays out all scenarios to ensure all bases are covered and that the clients understand why things need to be done.

While she is direct, she has incredible bedside manner as well to keep clients as comfortable and at ease as possible while working through the process.

Highly recommend.

Ms Spence and her team have worked tirelessly on getting my case approved. As a young adult, it can be very difficult proving the struggles, pain and tears that one experiences with a silent illness. Ms Spence worked with me and always made me feel comfortable to ask any questions I had as this was a stressful situation. Despite all that, she made sure that the load wasn’t heavy for me to carry alone and worked efficiently in my behalf. I was able to build a warm connection with her and she always expressed sincere concern in my well being. It was a long ride but a well worth wait to success. My family and I express our gratitude and thanks for Ms Spence excellent services. I would highly recommend her to anyone fighting for their health!

Gail A Spence provided my mother with impeccable service. She was knowledgeable and assertive. She completed everything as promised and the process was speedy. She assisted my mom through the entire process without any short comings. She always communicated with my mom. My mother is not computer savvy and she supported her with any necessary task that required the use of technology. She assisted my mom with everything. Her assistant was also professional and very helpful.

My wife and I retained Ms. Spence’s services to take care of my wife’s disability benefit application. We initially tried applying ourselves but found the process to be overwhelming. With Ms. Spence’s guidance, we successfully completed and was eventually approved for disability benefits. Throughout the process, we found her to be patient, understanding, incredibly knowledgeable, and of the utmost professional. Ms. Spence was able to explain to us every step of the process in a manner that we confidently understood. Not only was our interaction with her agreeable, it also ended up being extremely beneficially. In addition to explaining and guiding us through the application process, Ms. Spence was also able to find additional benefits that we were not aware of. It was a absolute pleasure to work with Ms. Spence and we owe her a great deal of gratitude for all the help she provided my wife and I.

Like most people that are in the unfortunate situation of not being able to work I thought I could just fill out the required paperwork and that would be it. Well not so. After getting denied and also denied for my appeal I was running out of options. I was told my best and final option was to get a lawyer. I googled and came across Ms. Spence. I wasn’t sure anyone would take my case because of my previous 2 denials. Not only did Ms Spence took my case but she also overlooked a personal incident. I commend Ms. Spence for her professionalism. Ms. Spence and her staff is phenomenal and I would recommend her over and over without hesitation. Everything she said along the process was exactly how it played out. Ms. Spence and Khalfani had kept me in the loop of what was going on and what was next to expect. They also showed genuine compassion and respect not just for me but my family as well. In the end because of my awesome representation I was approved. Not only did Ms. Spence got me approved she got me approve from when I first applied. Thank you so much and I will continue thanking GOD for you. May GOD continue blessing you to be a blessing to others.

The professionalism and consideration with their clients is beautifully balanced. Ms. Spence and Mr. Khalfani took care of everything and kept me informed all while keeping my individual needs, according to my ailments, a priority. The work they do for their clients is admirable. They've worked tirelessly to greatly improve my life. I really cannot thank them enough.

I do not have enough words to thank The Law Office of Gail A. Spence!! Ms. Spence took my case when it was late in the game. My old attorney decided to drop my case at the last minute. The SSA judge gave me another chance to find representation and I stumbled across Ms. Spence who had a five star rating. She took my case without hesitation and ensured me that I had a good chance of winning. I made sure I followed all of her directions. Mr. Khalfani was always a big help as well. He went over information or directions with me to ensure I understood everything and returned all my phone calls promptly. Ms. Spence was able to calm my nerves before we went in with the judge. I am so glad that I found her and wish I had her from the beginning. I truly believe if it was not for the proficiency of Ms. Spence I would not have been approved. I want to thank Ms. Spence and Mr. Khalfani again for all of their help. If you want an excellent law office, please choose The Law Office of Gail A. Spence. Peace and blessings to the both of you!!!

My close family member retained Ms. Gail A. Spence after an extensive search for a Disability Attorney he could trust to handle his case. Previously, he had applied for on his own and was turned down twice for social security disability insurance so the next stage was crucial. In retrospect, we wish we had retained her at the start.

Ms. Spence was highly experienced, thorough, professional but approachable. She reviewed his case, asked insightful questions and made suggestions. Ms. Spence thoroughly explained the process and detailed what to expect at every stage. There were frequent phone calls with status updates and we were encouraged to call or ask questions if we had any concerns. We always walked away from any meeting or phone call with Ms. Spence confident that she thoroughly understood our situation and genuinely cared about us and the outcome.

My family member had to appear before a judge as part of his appeal. Ms. Spence prepared him for the appearance, accompanied and represented him before the judge with highly favorable results.

We highly recommend Ms. Spence and cannot say enough good things about her. In fact, we've already recommended her to others and will continue to do so without hesitation. We respect Ms. Spence and her judgement.

I would like to share my experience in the hopes of helping some else through this extremely stressful and trying time in their life. Spending all of my life in public and customer service I have worked with a lot of people but never anyone as professional, clear and knowledgeable as Ms Spence. She made the most difficult time in my life bearable and will be forever grateful for her help! Her and her staff were very warm and welcoming and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that should need legal representation!!

When I first contacted Gail about my case I read the reviews and thought she was the right lawyer for me but I was wrong. After my conversation with her today it was apparent the negative reviews that I read also had merit. The most disrespectful statement you could say to a Union Carpenter is “ I know you guy work off the books and get paid under the table” is unbelievable. That’s like me stating lawyers make back door deals and steal from there clients. I Guess that’s what separates people who love what they do for a living. And no she didn’t tell me she couldn’t represent me, I called her office back and told them I don’t need there services. Respect is the first quality people look for when they are trying to find someone to help them in a difficult time in there lives. And Gail when you comment on my post just remember when you made a comment on me asking you “ so what should I do since I have been a Union Carpenter for the last 23 Years “ that said it all sorry your just not the right person to represent me. I wish you the best.

I had the good luck to be referred to Ms. Spence by a friend who saw her ad, quite by accident. I live in Brooklyn and took public transit out out to West Orange. The effort was rewarded more than I can say. Ms Spence is organized, knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and thoughtful. She knows how to get the job done, and helps you help yourself. Three months after our first visit, I received notice that my application for SSD was approved. This is some kind of miracle; my case was not straightforward and she visualized a strategy that worked from beginning to end.

I can't thank her enough or recommend her highly enough.

If I could provide a zero review for my experience with Gail Spence and her paralegal Khalfani, I genuinely would. I reviewed Gail’s Google reviews thinking that Gail would be a good person to seek legal advice from, so I had my loved one call her office and what a mistake. Gail and Khalfani were argumentative, lacked empathy and were overall very negative. My loved one was told by Khalfani that ‘if Gail was interested in taking his case that she’d call, if not, she wouldn’t’. Could you imagine receiving that message if you really needed legal advice and guidance. It made us feel like our case was not worthy and that we should wait around to find out if Gail had time/interest in this case. Once I learned about this interaction, my first thought was is this how a law professional should talk to a potential client that is disabled? I called the office back to ask why they would speak to a disabled person like that and it was only because I promised to leave a negative review that Gail called my loved one. I could hear Gail speaking on the phone, she was very rushed and nasty and showed an obvious lack of caring and concern for what my loved one was going through. I heard him ask Gail if she could hold for a moment while he could get his advocate (me) on the phone and I heard her say, ‘I’d rather not, no’. I am not only leaving this review to warn future clients, but also to say that Gail and Khalfani should be in the Hall of Shame for treating and talking to a disabled person in the way that her office has. If you are going through something serious, I recommend that you find another attorney because Gail and her office are a mess. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this behavior. ... I was on the phone and heard the entire conversation Gail; your 'justification' is inexcusable and disheartening. Again... there is no excuse for your behavior. Covering it up shows a lack of accountability and responsibility. You're clearly only after money.

My experience with this law firm is nothing less than five stars, I wish that I could add more! I appreciate the outstanding customer service that I was provided at the Gail A. Spence Law Firm. Her and her staff was very professional and friendly. Ms. Spence is very competent, honest, and knowledgeable. She took the time to understand and know me. Ms. Spence and her team kept me informed throughout the process which I had no knowledge of.  There was never a time where I called the office and did not receive a prompt return call. She is simply AMAZING at what she does!  My life is forever changed. If you are looking for a SSD attorney look no further!

Ms. Spence and her team were absolutely helpful and honest in my moms journey to receive Social Se unity Disability. They ALWAYS answered our phone calls in a very timely manner and our questions fully. They would call us to keep us informed of what was going on with the decision. I WOULD not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

I would like to thank Ms Gail A Spence and her firm for helping my with my mom's case. Ms Spence made sure we understood what was happening through the entire process of the case til a decision was made. Ms Spence showed such dedication to my mom and ensuring that she was comfortable with everything being presented and she made sure to include me in the details as well so that I may help clarify concerns when my mom didn't understand. Me and my family truly appreciate all the hard work Ms Spence gave to my family.

Ms Spence saved my husband's life. My husband had suffered a traumatic brain injury and was no longer able to work. I had two kids in college and two in high school and no income other than my salary as a teacher in a Catholic school. I went to Ms. Spence for help because I had already filed for SSDI and was denied. With very little income and no help from anyone else I needed a champion to come in and save the day. Ms. Spence was always patient and understanding and her words always expressed her concern for my husband's well being. Ms. Spence fought very hard to get my husband the benefits that he deserved and worked for his entire life. If it wasn't for Ms. Spence and her staff I don't know what would have happened to my husband and our family. If you ever need someone to fight for you the only person I would ever recommend to contact is Ms. Spence.

A million words are not enough to express my gratitude to Ms. Spence and Mr. Khalfani for their hard work and professionalism on my case from the first phone call to my award letter. Ms. Spence was very clear and precise as to what information she needed to represent me properly. We were in constant communication throughout my entire case. Ms. Spence and Mr. Khalfani are a team with compassion, integrity and respect, respect that is mirrored back to them by their clients. Many, many thanks to you both, peace and blessings always!!!

I've known Gail to be a exceptional professional for several years. Throughout this time she has displayed superb understanding in not just SSI related, but a number of other legal matter. Her counsel has always been accepted and appreciated. Foremost Gail has always shown concern and regard for others no matter how minor an issue. It is with great pleasure that I would recommend Gail A. Spence.

Ms. Spence is extremely professional. I particularly appreciate her honesty. She did not take my case based on certain facts presented. She is a lawyer of integrity. A quality that is becoming a rarity. Even though I was disappointed, and at times defensive, I appreciate Ms. Spence's ability to be candid, composed, compassionate, and respectful. I recommend her services without reservations.

She was nasty because I called her by her first name. Apologies for that MS SPENCE. BUT she asked me to get my ssdi statement, and I did. Called her again. 4 weeks later, still no answer. If you want results, run from her!!!

I can not say enough about the care and concern of Gail A. Spence. Ms. Spence took the time to listen to our concerns. She agreed to take my husband's case after months of us trying to navigate through disability process on our own. We were ready to give up. Ms. Spence was able to work with Social Security and in a short amount of time, my husband was approved. She helped take a lot of stress off of our shoulders. I am so grateful that we found her...through Google I might add. I highly recommend you give her office a call.

It's ironic the hoops you have to jump through when you become disabled. Thank goodness for the Law Office of Gail A. Spence. Ms. Spence clearly explained the process of applying for Social Security Disability and all the documents I needed to provide to smooth things along. After that, she and her paralegal Mr. Khalfani did all the legwork. I especially appreciated how they kept me up-to-date at every stage of the proceedings, and did it with kindness and good humor. My case was recently approved and I owe it all the Law Office of Gail A. Spence.

I retained the services of The Law Office of Gail A Spence approximately one month prior to my Social Security Hearing in front of an Administrative Judge. Ms. Spence took the time to quickly set up an appointment with me,and after reviewing case, took the time to explain everything to me in detail, and asked me questions about any concerns I may have had. She worked very hard to obtain any information I may have needed in a very short period of time.

Ms. Spence is a very experienced and skilled attorney; she gives very specific instructions and advice on how to prepare for the day of your hearing and walks you through each step. What I really liked about her is that she is completely honest about everything and does not allow you to be blindsided (as is the case with many attorneys). I would highly recommend her to anyone needing representation with their Social Security matter. I won my hearing and I cannot thank her enough.

Everything went well from my very first call and my visit to the office. I was treated with respect and my case was handled with love and care. Ms. Spence and her paralegal were always responsive and on top of what I needed to win my case. They cared about me and not just my case and I cannot thank them enough. Everything was confidential and handled with respect and I appreciated it. I was referred by a friend and I will recommend Ms. Spence to anyone who needs a Social Security Disability attorney.

I have had the pleasure of being represented by Gail A. Spence for my Social Security Disability case. Ms. Spence took my case and she was successful. She was very courteous and business-like. She attended to all the needs of my case, including paperwork and medical records from my doctors. The service was great and on a scale of 1to 10 - I give her a 10. I appreciated all her hard work especially her presentation at the hearing. A few years later she also represented my family member and Ms. Spence did a great job again. My family can never thank her enough for all her hard work. We had many questions and Ms. Spence answered all the questions to our satisfaction.
