I am forever grateful to those who introduced me to Ginger Ryan and Disability Professionals. And I am forever thankful for Ginger's wisdom, kindness, honesty, professionalism, knowledge, dedication, and assistance towards my difficult Social Security journey. Ginger aided me in understanding her role as a qualified non-attorney representative, mapping and navigating the complexities of the Social Security journey, and further answering my questions and concerns even after she completed her services.

Ginger was there for me and answered every question I had (and I had a lot). She is courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I would highly recommend her and her company. Thank you, Ginger.

G. Ryan SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING! She knowingly denied me MY LEGAL RIGHT to have someone present with me during my hearing because my conditions can shut down my brain rendering me incapable of accurately answering questions even though I look normal to the untrained eye when doing so. My counselor could have looked out for my well-being, asked for a short break on my behalf and answered any questions from the judge as needed. Ginger emailed me back that, “your therapist will not be attending…” *See starred portions of our attached email correspondence, reading from bottom to top* I was never given the option to ask the judge for my counselor’s presence, just flat out denied my right despite the SSA hearing letter (and the judge’s assistant) stating otherwise. I repeatedly informed G.R. via email of my disability needs and capability of working against myself at the hearing given the stress of reliving my losses, pain, etc., triggering a migraine that can paralyze, incapacitate me. She did NOTHING to help me put my best foot forward. NOTHING! She told me not to overwhelm the judge, time was limited, and never guided me to elaborate more on my answers, which cost me big per the judge’s report. I CONFIRMED WITH Teresa in THE DISABILITY PROFESSIONAL’s COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT that IT WAS her job to have me elaborate on my brief, one or two sentence answers to better please the judge. Ginger knew I was not shy when it came to sharing my health experiences, except when a migraine is preventing me from doing so. She never checked in with me during the hearing nor did she offer me a short break to prevent my “false” answers. I never felt compassion from her. I sat as far away as I could from her at the hearing table because I DID NOT TRUST HER FOR MANY REASONS. I KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT she wanted me to be denied at the hearing level to earn more $ with an appeal. I made good $ in my career. It was obvious she did the bare minimum to get thru the hearing. The judge’s assistant confirmed MY LEGAL RIGHT WAS, IN FACT, DENIED & that NO request to have someone present with a claimant has ever been denied. I was also denied my legal right to have a copy of my file and a copy of a witness statement, which I requested early on in our relationship. It’s hard enough having 40 years of chronic spine pain & 24 years of Lyme hell. As a single woman in her late 50’s, it’s humbling and exhausting pinching EVERY penny to save my dream home these past few years, going to food banks and utilizing every charitable resource to stay afloat. Being capable of purposely ruining the most important decision of my life, I firmly believe it’s time for G.R. to hang up her non-legal rep hat. DON’T TRUST HER!!!

Ms. Shafer and her team are amazing. I found her doing a Google search and am thankful for her. I needed a lawyer in Colorado while I live in California and she took my case. Shafer law firm was always in contact with me and kept me updated in my case.I have shared her name and firm with friends in Colorado. If you need a lawyer this is the place.

Rude person, truly unwilling to help, and laughs at other peoples mistakes.

Very professional and I was approved for disability

Ginger Ryan is the best! She is good at what she does and she works very hard to get what you deserve.
