Gwen is an angel on this earth. A ray of sunshine in the middle of the storm. She is very knowledgeable and knows better than anyone else, the Orange County Clerk of Courts. She will always say what you have to hear instead of what you want to hear. And this way, she will find the best solution for your case. She answers emails very fast and will do everything she can to accomplish what you need. She was a shield in my life, took me away from a complicated situation, and professionally handled everything. I would highly recommend her!

Working with Mrs. Fugate was an absolute pleasure from the start. She was fast responding, she took her time to get to know me and my medical issues to be able to win my case. She and her staff were professional and I felt like i really mattered to them and they really cared. I never felt like another file sitting on her desk. Shea went above and beyond for me. I was told I had a slim chance of being granted disability benefits and I believe the reason I was is because of her and how she guided me through the process and helped me explain my illness to the judge. I would highly recommend here again and again.

After being denied benefits, I was very depressed and didn’t see a way out. Then a friend referred Shea Fugate to me. Everything changed for the better. It took time, dedication and skill but in the end, Shea prevailed. I only wish that I would have known her before applying for benefits in the first place. Shea is patient, understanding and takes the time to explain details to me. Thanks Shea!

Shea is not only highly competent but also very personable and easy to work with. She is an excellent attorney with a wealth of experience in navigating the legal channels. I am very impressed with her service.

For anyone who may have grown up Catholic, you've heard of St. Jude, the Patron Saint of Hopeless/Lost Causes. I mention this because I describe Ms. Fugate as the St. Jude of Disability Attorneys. After my family member was denied repeatedly for disability benefits, I reached out to Ms. Fugate. Not only was she able to get the approval for the much needed benefits, she treated us like we were family. We felt cared for, listened to, and understood. It is absolutely clear that this is so much more than a business for her, it is a vocation. I firmly believe that she considers each of her cases a true service. We never felt like just a case to her, but rather a mission that she was going to see fully through to the end. I simply cannot recommend her more highly. I trust her implicitly and know that if she can't do it, it simply can't be done. The only thing I would highly recommend to anyone, is PLEASE don't wait to be denied like we did! Reach out to her FIRST, when you are applying for your benefits. Wow, could we have saved so much wasted time and frustration.

I can not be more thankful to have found Gwen. My ex husband took everything and without Gwen, i would not have my new job, my car back and a chance to start over. Her kindness and intelligence is fantastic! If you were lost like me and don’t know where to turn to during your difficult time, turn to Gwen! You won’t regret it!!

Shae is simply the best.She took my case even after I saw 3 attorneys and the all said that I didn’t have a change to win because my age.She agree to be my attorney and after 2 years we won against all the adds.She’s professional,smart,kind, friendly and her best quality she is human she understand what I was going throu I honestly recommend her 110%.

Shea Fugate and Pat are the most caring and empathetic people I have ever met in their profession. Pat will respond in a very fast manner every time I've left a message. As I told Shea she is my earth angel. Shea is a wonderful attorney she actually cares about her clients and doesn't look at them as a paycheck. She got my social security disability approved and said she will continue to help me if needed.Wonderful people!

She guided me through my illness and how to apply for my Social Security on my own. She did not charge me for her knowledge and advise. I was granted social security last year...she is a kind human being!

I'm so happy to have chosen Gwen Cryer to represent me in my Alimony case. She made sure we were well prepared and kept me up to date with everything. Her knowledge, intelligence, calmness and strong presence in court made all the difference to making my case successful. I highly recommend Gwen Cryer to anyone who needs representation. Thank you Gwen for everything!
