I called and made a 4:00pm appointment that was 2 weeks away. The lady on the phone was very pleasant and said I would get a packet in the mail that I needed to fill out that details my issues. The packet was received within 2 days. I am writing this review less than 30 minutes after my appointment because I cannot believe what I just experienced. I got to the appointment 5 minutes early and the Mrs. Welsh's assistant greeted me by name as soon as I walked in. She is very nice and has such a pleasant demeanor about her. I thought to myself that I had made the right decision calling this attorney if her assistant is any indication of the kind of service they provide. I did not wait long and Mrs. Welsh came rushing out of her office, said my name, walked past me to her assistant's office, then returned toward me and asked me into her office. No handshake, barely any eye contact, and an extremely rushed demeanor. I came into her office and she asked me to have a seat and asked if I had my denial letter from Social Security. I handed her the denial letter and the packet that they had mailed me to fill out detailing my information on my past and present medical issues. She glanced at the SSI denial letter and then proceeded to say I was only 44 and my case would be very difficult. I was stunned. She did not even look the information packet that they had sent me in the mail. She asked a few questions about my limitations, which if she had taken the time to read the info packet they sent me, she would have known all my limitations in detail. She then said that another attorney may take my case. I asked her if she was turning down my case and she said that she was. I was dumbfounded. This attorney, who gets a very high rating on Google, just denied taking my case without even reading the packet THAT THEY SENT ME TO FILL OUT!! I will not go into my medical issues but it is safe to say I have had my dr telling me for 3 years I need to go on disability and I have finally deteriorated to the point I cannot even sit for more than 25 minutes at a time without laying down. She handed my papers back to me and said Good Luck and got up to see me out. I told her that if my case was difficult it surprises me she got paid at all. As she rushed me to the door, it became apparent to me why I was treated so unprofessionally by Mrs. Welsh. She closed the door behind me and locked the door. I guess she had somewhere more important to be than to actually take the time to get to know me and my case in more detail before just looking at my age and saying Good Luck. THEY COULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT OVER THE PHONE AND SAVED US BOTH A HUGE HASSLE!!!!! Response to business. I want to be clear. It was not the fact you denied my case, it was the manner in which you did it. There was no way you could have made an extremely educated decision in how likely I am to win a case when you take less time to look over my case than the time it took me to fill out the info packet you sent me. From the moment you came out of your office and did not even focus your attention on me and no handshake, I felt as if I was an inconvenience to you and as if you had somewhere more important to be.

Very nice and good

Attorney Ellene Welsh is the best. She presented my case in a professional manner. She is thorough and tactical. At my hearing she was able to explain everything to the Judge without leaving a thing out she presented all my medical history thoroughly she knows her law! i won my case and I would definitely use them again. Oh and her staff ... Awesome! They treat you like family. I recommend her to my family and friends.

We sought out legal representation for our special needs son in our pursuit of social security benefits for him, after being denied on our own. We spoke with several law firms before selecting Ellene Welsh as the attorney that would help our family and guide us through what had thus far, been an arduous process. From the person who answered the phone, to the paralegal that greeted us and answered our questions/concerns--to Ellene herself...our experience was a positive one. The level of professionalism, attention to detail and the service provided to our family was second to none. Even after our initial meeting with Ellene, as we walked out of the office, we were confident that we had selected well and made the right decision! We were especially appreciative of Ellene's nurturing nature and warmth in her dealings with our son--explaining each step to him so he would not feel overwhelmed or anxiety-ridden. This was very comforting to--not only our son--but equally so for my husband and I, in that our son's feelings were considered and he treated with dignity and respect. The process of seeking out social security is a long and admittedly stressful one. Ellene Welsh and her staff moved the process along in a timely manner, prepared us for court, and made themselves available to answer any questions along the way. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking out knowledgeable and professional representation with a "family business" attitude. We are grateful for all of the "Welsh Team's" efforts!

I give Attorney Welsh five stars, if you need a loyal attorney, she is the one, when she agreed to represent me for disability, she told me what will happen, when it would happen and how it would happen and she was correct, I couldn`t have asked for a better attorney!

Ms. Welsh successfully represented me through the process of securing my disability benefits several years ago. More importantly, she made the experience extremely less frustrating through periodic communication & clear explanation of how the system works. She's not the lawyer to represent you just by maintaining a file on you, she actually fights on your behalf to secure what you're owed. If in need of either a Disability or Worker's Comp attorney, you want Ms Welsh in YOUR corner fighting for you! Remember, I'm speaking from experience & I'm not a paid consultant. Good luck if you're facing either situation (disability/work comp) regardless of your decision on legal representation. R. Sisson

I had applied for my S.S. Disability twice and had been turned down both times. Ellen Welsh took my case and at once set me at ease. Ellen is kind, efficient, & professional! She won my case and even went the extra mile in helping me with repayment of my disability insurance! I cannot speak highly enough of Ellen and her office assistant. They truly have a heart to help those who cannot help themselves! Saying "Thank You" never seemed like enough to repay her for all she did for me!

I was denied Social Security Disability Benefits when I went out on Disability Retirement from the Government. I called and talked with an Attorney by the name of Ellene Welsh and she did not hesitate to take my case. I did not have to do anything, she took care of my paperwork, my doctor's reports, any documents that I needed to help build my case. She made me feel so comfortable while representing me, and when I went to the hearing with her by my side, I knew and felt that I would win my case due to the assurance of my Attorney. I want to Thank Attorney Ellene Welsh for her professionalism through the process. I highly recommend Attorney Ellene Welsh if you are fighting for your Disability or Workman's Compensation. Again, I Thank You Attorney Ellene Welsh
