Stephanie Lake and her team were very helpful and professional. Stephanie did the initial interview with me over the phone. We got disconnected at one point and she called me right back. Stephanie’s guidance on how to prepare for filing for disability was right on and resulted in being approved within the first 90 days of filling. It was a great Christmas present.
I would recommend Stephanie and her firm to anyone looking for this kind of service.

Thank you Stephanie

This team did an excellent job on my case! I couldn’t find another attorney to take my case after my first one had dropped my case.
Stephanie’s Office reviewed my records and took me in right away! I had my hearing just last month on the 18th of December, Joe represented me. It was real short I thought I may have lost because of that. I was informed today that I won with full favorable decision! I’ve been waiting since 2014 so this has taken so much stress off my shoulders. I would recommend these guys for sure. They always kept me in the loop, they showed more effort then my previous attorney that dropped me, I feel if I never would’ve been dropped? That I might of lost.
Thank you sooo much! You guys are truly awesome!’

Ms. Lake and her staff are very professional. Phone calls or emails were responded to promptly. I received copies of all records and anything that was sent in to my file.I was well prepared for my appointment. She made this process as painless as possible. They know what they are doing. Would highly recommend Ms. Lake for anyone who is going through the social security disability process. I am more than pleased with her work.

Stephanie Lake is the absolute worst lawyer you could have represent you. My mentally disabled uncle hired her and Joe to represent him to get social security disability. They were difficult to get in touch with and DID NOT take his case seriously. She lied about what my uncle said to social security to try to cover her and Joe's own incompetence when social security rejected his claim and was asked to appeal. These people are HURTING families. How did these people pass BAR exams?! I hope they go out of business!

I always have the best communication with this office. They leave me complete messages of what they need and always respond to everything I have asked. My cousin Kaycee referred me to this office and I have already referred the office to others. Thank you for also letting me speak directly to Stephanie Lake the lawyer who is representing me.

Stephanie's Lake office is GREAT! If I have questions I email them and get a quick response. I also like the fact that I get client copies of what they submit to Social Security. I don't have to follow up to see if they got my information. Plus, if you need to talk with Stephanie Lake, they set up a time and day. She calls right on time. I'm very pleased with them!

I just spoke with a secretary at this lawyer's office (after being referred to Stephanie Lake by my doctor). The secretary was very polite on the phone and acted as though she was concerned for my well being and personal struggles. She proceeded to ask me a few questions and then turned me down without providing me any explanation whatsoever nor providing me with any referrals to other lawyers who might possibly be able to assist me in my time of need. I most definitely do not recommend this law office because of the superficiality of their staff... if the secretary answering the phone is so blatantly unhelpful and unwilling to provide meaningful assistance, what might the lawyer's assistance be like?

The Law Offices of Stephanie Lake are amazing. My mother used them in her disability case and she won her case. My mother then recommended them to me for my case. Even though Stephanie could not help with my case she was able to help with my 7yr old sons case. She is very kind, professional and prompt with her services. I have a good feeling about my sons case being represented by Stephanie Lake. Thank you!

Very quick response to any of my questions and very quick action. They frequently keep you posted on what they are doing and make it easy to supply additional information to them as needed. They are probably one of the most compassionate, efficient law offices I’ve encountered.

I got referred to this person by my mother. Called in cause I got back issues that disables me and was told by recieptionist since I’m not 50 or a minor she can’t transfer me to one of the other lawyers. This is age discrimination since I got proof for disability. I don’t recommend people go to them biggest discrimination ever.

This my second time I have used them and they have assisted me in many ways until I really needed them then I get a letter in the mail stating they are no longer going to represent me. I called to see why and plead my case about how I really need them and I received no answer!

Stephanie Lake and her law office have always been very considerate kind and always helping out to give me the information I need. I'm not sure how to proceed or what to do but they are always reassuring and that is a great help when you need to know and to get through this time.

I was referred by a friend after an initial denial letter. They agreed to take my case. I turned in all of the paperwork in a timely manner. The staff was often very short with me. Upon my second denial they dropped my case and I was given no explanation. Not even the courtesy of a phone call. I was constantly calling in to see what was going on and if they needed anything from me. I just wish I had gone elsewhere so I would have been taken more seriously. Disappointed is an understatement.

I was referred to this law office by a friend. I must say this is my first time dealing with ssi/disability, as i have congestive heart failure and Im on a the Naational heart transplant list. My experience with this office was not a good one. The paperwork they said they intially mailed never showed up to my residence so i took all my medical records down to their office and completed the paperwork that was never recieved by me. They did not explain the process very well or gave me very much information. Just wait. I cant work so things are tough. I also had my cardiologist complete their paper wirk a medical survet to which cost me $75 to get it completed for them. I got a denial from ssi as usual. I sent it to them. The next i get is a letter stating they are not representing me or my case via regular mail. They couldnt call me? They gave no reason as to why they dropped my case. I have sent emails to them and phone calls, that have been ignored and never returned. They gave me ni reason and no other options. They obviously dont care about the well being of their clients which they demonstrated. I would not reccommend them and i actually think they are to busy, too many cases to be able to help and give the individuals and their cases the attention it needs and deserves. Completely unprofessional. Thank you

I was never able to get a clear answer from her, since I only spoke to hear twice before my hearing. When I was denied afterwards, they dropped me as a client without reason. I thought SSI lawyers were suppose to help win cases not just give up. Would not recommend her office to anyone

Stephany is attentive and has attention to detail. The only thing I wish would have happened is a run down of the questions she was gonna ask me before we went in to see the judge. Maybe she does that on purpose to get your emotions going in the court room. But, it all worked out in the end. I recommend her.

This lady was so rude and though she help with my daughters case i thought I could expect more compassion. She got a attitude less than five minutes into our phone interview and then ask me what led up to my SMI and I told her I was wrongfully convicted in a domestic violence situation when I was the victim and lost my children and was still being abused and she told me that its not enough to make you SMI and she couldn’t take my case unless I did all the work by gathering documents . The world is so cold I can imagine if I ask her if that was her how would she have felt. My children were all I had.

Very pleased with the work that Stephanie put forward toward my son case. She was very easy to contact when I had questions or did not understand something. Her receptionist were amazing with relaying messages that I left, received a phone call back immediately or the following day. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who keeps getting denied. We won are case which was very exciting for me considering it’s been a long time coming. Thank you much for your hard work.

I have been lucky enough to be retained by Stephanie Lake's firm. I have a very complex medical situation, most of which is related to mental health and internal conditions.

I was fortunate to return from my military deployments without losing limbs, but because I didn't, no other firm would take me on. Stephane Lake doesn't care about age or difficult cases and I am very pleased with how everything is being handled. I'm only 4 months in, but the office is in constant contact.

Thank you.

If your going to seek assistance from this law office to get an attorney to win a case for disability, you might as well not call. If you don't pass the questions from the very loud receptionist they wont help you!!!!

Stephanie Lake is a rip-off! Do not use her as your attorney because she will steal all your money and not give two cents about it. I cannot get her to return my calls, I can not get her to give me a statement and or Ledger for my account, no information on her fees and just a general bad person.

Zero stars. Zero effort by Joseph Duerst. I never even met him until the day of the hearing. We met for about ten minutes prior to the hearing left feeling totally unprepared. I had panic attacks all day leading up to and including the hearing. Joseph did next to nothing to help guide me during the process. The front office staff works harder than the lawyers themselves. Be prepared to represent yourself in your hearing. I don't blame them for losing my case because panic disorder, depression, and anxiety aren't taken serious by the government, but they sure didn't help me to win.
Not recommended!

They terminated their service with me because the case was unfavorable this case lasted 3 years I just appealed the case the day of my hearing the only thing JOSEPH said to me was, "we're only a few months apart" I guess age wise i was under the impression that he thought I was too young or he felt that he was wasting his time I do not know what he meant by that but it's all good thanks for the staff for being helpful they wished me good luck on improving my condition in the letter they sent

This process was very long for me and during the process it felt 10x longer. There were times when i found myself getting frustrated at the most minor things. I created more stress for myself that was even necessary.

The fact that me, Joe, (my representative) and the law office of Stephanie lake firm won my case and i am very grateful.

I know being the client or a family member heloing the client isn't easy fighting this long lasting battle can be stressful but let me say this at times i thought i was right and i made everything about me. Me me me me. When they didnt respond to me as quickly as i felt like they should i would get frustrated but now i understand that they just were working with me but with many other people. They really did a great job. I would definitely recommend this firm to fight your case.

Hope this help you to decide. Thank you so much for helping me win my case. ( 2 year battle)

Just had my hearing today and with the help of Stephanie Lake and staff, she won my case! I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you and your staff has done in the last two years, not only being patient with me but also empathetic and supportive through this stressful process and made it so much more less stressful for me! I highly recommend Stephanie Lake. I can never thank you enough!

While I’m not using my real name for privacy issues, I want to let them know how happy I was in choosing this law firm!! They definitely know their business in representing disability lawyers!!
Kuddos to Stephanie and Joseph!! Without them, I probably wouldn’t have won my appeal!!
