Law Office of Meryl Anne Spat

I recently made the decision right before my hearing to switch to a different attorney. After meeting him and speaking with his very professional and kind staff, I realized that my experience with the initial application could and should have been very different with Attorney Spat - much more proactive and involved. It was a nervewracking decision, and I'm glad I made it. I no longer dread communicating with my attorney and am filled with new hope and confidence. I would encourage anyone going through this for the first time to research what an SSDI lawyer should do for you from the start, and also to consider going to an office that has additional staff that can assist. As Meryl told me over the phone, she doesn't have "a team of monkeys" who can answer her emails. The rest of that phone call is what made me decide to leave, and I wish I could drop the transcript here, but I found it to be extremely bizarre and unprofessional. While I am glad that others have benefitted from her knowledge and experience, I felt compelled to share this in case it helps anyone either feel not alone in their experiences with Meryl or to help someone decide on who to choose for representation during this very difficult and stressful process. Best of luck on all your journeys! Know what you're worth and trust your gut.

Attorney Meryl Anne Spat was the best decision I ever made, for my SSDI attorney. She was very supportive and helped me feel we would prevail one way or another. Five Stars Attorney Spat! Thanks so much.

No nonsense attorney with the experience, knowledge and attitude to win.

I am incredibly grateful to Attorney Meryl Spat for her outstanding work in helping me secure my Social Security Disability benefits. From the very beginning, she showed genuine care and compassion, truly understanding the pain and challenges I’ve endured. She was clear and precise about the documentation and information she needed, which made the process less overwhelming. During the court hearing, Ms. Spat was exceptional—professional, confident, and fully prepared. Her support gave me peace of mind throughout this difficult journey. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate disability attorney. Thank you, Meryl, for changing my life. Juan S

Very pleasant woman and im sure she would have done a great job if giving the chance. Unfortunately due to numerous unresponsive attempts for feedback, clarity and confirmations in the very beginning stages, after about 3 weeks, my anxiety ptsd and depression got the best of me. i took that as a warning of what to expect, and ultimately terminated our contract. The one time that we did speak, Ms Spat was very encouraging, helpful and optimistic. Ms spat being an attorney,and not a psychiatrist , I didn’t fault her for not being familiar with the triggers of someone with complex mental disabilities such as mine. Im sure I missed an opportunity to work with an amazing attorney. I absolutely recommend. God bless

Meryl was very generous with her time and gave me options to help me resolve my problems. Thanks so much

She was great

One of the kindest, most knowledgeble individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. Meryl has helped me with a family member and she was so thorough, fought hard for us and delivered results quickly. I will never forget all she did for my family. Do not hesitate to call her for all your social security needs. She was a godsend and I recommend her to everyone! YES you do need a lawyer and its Meryl. The Malo Family

I am a psychotherapist for a client unfairly cut off from Social Security Disability. Meryl Spat worked with us over several years of hearings with a very difficult judge, to finally, today, get the result of reinstatement of my client's Disability and retroactive benefits for the 5 years since the cut off. Meryl is a tenacious fighter and easy and fun to communicate with. Thank you, Meryl!

Attorney Spat stuck with me through a disability denial, an appeal denial, and then represented me in the telephone hearing. This was almost a 3 year process. She prepared me well for the hearing, and I was approved for disability. I could not have done it without her.

Law Office of Meryl Anne Spat was attentive, informative and a good communicator. She helped me through the process of my case and explained the details to me each step of the way. She makes herself available for discussions and fights hard for her Clients. I would highly recommend her

She is the best lawyer I could ever ask for,make sure to book her with any issues.
