This is an attorney you can trust to win your case. She was reliable and worked really hard to get me a settlement I deserved. I really appreciate her compassion and her determination. I know my case was difficult but she found a way to make the insurance pay for the damages caused by that car accident.

Thank you & Bless both of you Lena (Case Mgr.) Attorney Lorna for helping my life by helping me get SSA Benefits for case I had appealed. I will forever be grateful! They came through for me & did excellent job & at hearing. Knowledgeable Professional Compassionate and responded timely to any emails or calls ( I understood I wasn't the only case). My advice to others is Patience & work with your Case Manager to help your case & do everything you are supposed to. Don't give up, many times I was ready to give up with all the frustration with SSA. I'm glad I came across this firm the People's Disability Advocates of America and from day 1 they made it an easy process! Thanks again & blessings to all!

I will refer The people disability advocates of America to individuals that need advocacy, since I've had Lena as my CM my case has excelled and receives the dedicated attention Needed to win my case. Lena is compassionate, professional to me, knowledgeable, timely, and has removed the barrier of the unknown in my situation that wasn't looking to good previously. With Lorna and Lena on my side now my case have a winning chance.

Erica Dougherty was my case worker this entire 2 years and she was so amazing throughout the whole process. She is such a sweet and caring person who listened to everything I had to say and kept encouraging me even when I’d felt defeated. She was always there to take my calls and answer my questions and thanks to her AND ONLY HER I finally won my case!!!!!! She’s the hardest worker and she never ever gives up!!! Thank you Erica for being my rock throughout this entire experience!!! You’re an asset to your company hunny!!! God bless you and yours! Noelle Decambra Tulsa, OK AUG 2020

During my time working with them my contact person changed 4 times. It was really hard getting updates or asking questions. I provided them all the info they needed. Not sure what all they did. They didnt tell me to tell SSI I had an agreement with my son for him to pay me back 250/mo for the back pay so lost that. They should have prepared me for answering SSi questions. So i lost 3700$ because they didnt prethink that issue which should have been explained. With all the changes in personnel it hurt the process

Do NOT and I repeat DO NOT use these people. My experience went like this: They had me in contact a lady name Erica. She was nice but she was more concerned about telling me about how she had to move from a huge 5 bedroom home down to a 3 bedroom home. She asked me for all of my paperwork which I sent. We spent time talking as I was telling her all of my issues. This was right in the middle of covid so while I had 1 autoimmune issue on record I had a bunch of doctor records and film of all the testing i had. I needed to see other specialists but that took time and the appointments were set but not in time for the court date. One day I get switched from speaking to Erica to speaking to a Melissa. She gets caught up on my issues. The day of court I'm expecting Melissa to be on the phone simce I've explained my whole issue only to find the attorney was a lady I think her name was Lorna and she was representing me and did not even know how to pronounce my condition!!

Lorna, and her staff are completely incompetent, and the complete definition of nepotism. The entire office is family so accountability is completely nonexistent. There is no one to reach out to when you have an issue with not receiving call backs, updates, etc because all of Ms. Oraks “Associates” are her sisters. On one of the few calls I did receive from my case manager Ms. Erika she explained the dynamics of the office and who everyone was that she was loosing her job but yet an uneducated yoga instructor was running the office because she’s Oraks sister. There is a Pamela someone who is supposed to be a office supervisor of some sort but is again uneducated and playing at being an adult with Mommy’s company. Please if you need any kind of legal service go any where but here with her and these people. They are nothing more than ditzy airheads and ambulance chasers.

Unreliable, unresponsive and irresponsible. Not only did they lose my case because of irresponsibility,they had me doing all the work and the attorney did not review my case until the night before. Not to mention this wasn't my assigned attorney nor could I tell you who was my case manager because they kept changing. While in court the only thing I heard from them was "yes your honor" . I spoke for myself. I have 3 recommendations from doctors and for some reason I'm sitting here without advice from them and an appeal letter.
