Right after she graduated from law school, Ellen worked for the Chicago Legal Clinic, an organization dedicated to representing the underserved and disadvantaged, for 10 years. While there, part of her practice was dedicated to representing clients seeking Social Security disability benefits. Since moving to Georgia, she has helped numerous homeless individuals obtain disability benefits through her work with First Step Disability Services. She has also worked with Georgia Refugee Health and Mental Health.
Ellen has successfully represented numerous claimants seeking Social Security disability benefits from the initial stage through District Court. She understands how stressful the entire disability process can be and promises to give your case her personal attention and to communicate with you throughout the entire process.
