Stephanie Lake was referred to me by a friend who had used her office. Oh, how glad I am, to have had Stephanie represent me.

Stephanie never gave up on me and my case, even though it took several resubmissions. It took TEN years of her never giving up, to finally have a judge rule in my favor. She never gave up on my case, and fighting for my rights. All the work her and her office designated to my case, has changed my life forever.

Her staff is excellent, and obtained a huge amount of information from my numerous doctors and specialists. Once I gave them the information needed, I never had to do any research or contacting anyone on my own.

Stephanie is a true professional who persevered for my disability case, and she never gave up! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a Disability Lawyer. I will forever be grateful to her!

Professional, compassionate and tenacity are adjectives that best describe Stephanie Lake and her Team. Ms. Lake fought for almost 4 years to reach a favorable outcome for me. I was treated with respect and felt heard and understood. Thank you American Disability Law

I am more than pleased with the experience I had with this Law Office.
My case was a difficult one and was in the Federal Appeal level. Stephanie took my case, and with an exceptional staff to help her, my case was won.
Thank you! For all the work you put into this case for me and for putting up with me.

Stephanie Lake made my filing for disability easy. After providing her with my medical files and giving her permission to have access, I just sait back and let her firm handle everything. I was initially denied but she appeared and the Judge ruled in my favor.

Thank you Stephanie and firm from the bottom of my heart. I never thought this day would come.

I did a google search and found Stephanie Lake, I read reviews and searched the web to be confident in my decision to hire her.
I CANT TELL YOU ENOUGH HOW GREAT SHE IS! I waited 3 long years, having so many surgeries and health problems. I hired her and she called me direct. We discussed the process, then it was like talking to a good friend. She so down to earth and I had the best experience hiring her firm. Anything I needed whether it was envelopes to send in information or just getting a status on where we were in our process, her staff always called or emailed me right away. If you need someone to help you fight, pick her you won’t be disappointed!

Let me say that my gratitude to Stephanie, Alex, and all the staff at American Disability Law/Stephanie Lake is beyond words. This dedicated team fought for me for 6 years. I had one of the toughest SSA judges who does not like to approve cases. We lost the first round, appealed the case,had to wait for appeals court, and lost again, but not once did this team give up. Its hard to win the first time, believe me. When we refiled again, we had to start all over and by the time we were done we had hundreds of pages of of documentation, including paperwork that SSA requires by their doctor’s. The judge ruled against us again, but let me tell you, they never gave up even if I wanted to, the appealed again and we won. YES, we won the case and if I could give them a million stars I would. This team fights for you when other disability firms wont. Would I recommend Stephanie Lake and her team, YES, YES, YES, . Again thank you all so much for everything.

I found Stephanie in 2003 and my case wound up in front of an Administrative Law Judge. There was very little doubt that I would win my case but backup in getting my case to trial was bad back then. Before I left the military I made copies of all my military medical files as directed.
Staphanie was great and organized. I will forever remember her as a winner!

Leslie H.Google review · April 2023
Professional, diligent, caring and unstoppable! I have had Stephanie Lake in my corner for the past 5years fighting for me and happy to say it paid off! She and her staff work hard and never let me down, giving regular updates even thru this past couple of horrible years we all have endured. I can't thank the team at American Disability Law and Stephanie Lake enough for giving me this peace of mind to continue my ongoing therapy and care I need. Don't try to take this on yourself, let the pros handle it!
