Attorney Spat is fantastic, I have worked with her as a person in my field, and as a person with disabilities myself. She is compassionate and she has a huge heart she goes beyond the call. She is the best disability attorney in the Waterbury area. She is a hidden gem and I will call her if someone I care about or myself ever need anything in her wheelhouse

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

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

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.

I would definitely encourage anyone in need of support and dedication to reach out to Meryl. Thank you so much, Meryl, for all your hard work, patience, and for helping me through this journey.
