I was referred to Fabiola Jean-Gilles by my husband's ARAG legal plan. I went to her for help applying for Social Security Disability. She wasn't able to answer any of my questions. She was extremely rude, condescending, judgemental, and altogether unhelpful.
She would not look at any of my documents. She could not explain to me what a "quarter" was (she said I'd have to contact Social Security directly to have that explained to me), but she insisted, without ever looking at my work history, that I did not have enough "quarters" to qualify for SSD. When we got home and looked it up, I definitely have enough quarters of work history to be able to apply.
She did not offer any suggestions or guidance. She told me that my only option is to file by myself, although "98% of applications are denied". I really felt like she was looking down her nose at me. With almost no information from me, she actually said: "from looking at you, I wouldn't represent you."
