Dr. Carletta E. Griffin

Founder

A native Detroiter, Dr. Carletta E. Griffin is CEO of Dominion Disability Advocates, LLC. Dominion Disability Advocates is a disability advocacy firm providing representation for clients seeking disability benefits. She launched operations in January 2014 after resigning as an employee with the Social Security Administration. As a nationally certified disability advocate, she represents clients at all levels with Social Security, from initial review through all appeals, to obtain their disability benefits.

The hallmark of Dr. Griffin’s business is delivering compassionate service to those that need it the most. She prides herself on educating her clients, keeping them well informed as they navigate through the bureaucratic process, as it can be long and arduous. She is very passionate about her work and embraces the opportunity to serve as an agent of hope to her clients. What gives Dr. Griffin the most gratification is seeing the quality of life change for many of her clients as a result of her services, as she often serves the most indigent in our communities and considers that a real mission from God.

Dr. Griffin holds a Doctorate of Management and Organizational Leadership. She also serves as adjunct faculty with the College of Business at the University of Detroit Mercy in Detroit, Michigan. Beyond any scholarly or professional acclaim, Dr. Griffin describes herself as a woman who endeavors to love God with her whole heart, and that guides her faith in Jesus Christ and service.
