Mr. Cervoni and his staff helped me through my appeal, reconsideration and my hearing. Mr. Cervoni and his staff were excellent they knew exactly what records and documents were needed to present at my hearing. They gathered and compiled all the necessary documents and records for my hearing. Mr. Cervoni always kept me updated on what was going on and was always available and would respond quickly by either phone or email to any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. Mr. Cervoni prepared me for my hearing and knew exactly what evidence to present as well as what questions to ask to both myself and the vocational expert. Due to this Mr. Cervoni and his staff we were able to get a fully favorable decision at my hearing. I am so grateful for both Mr. Cervoni and his staff, especially Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Camper-Barry for all of their help. I cannot thank you enough. If you are looking for professional, dedicated and knowledgeable representation through the SSDI process I would strongly recommend Mr. Cervoni.
After the second denial of my Social Security disability claim (the initial and the redetermination) I thought I would never get approved, but Mr. Cervoni believed in my case and we went for the hearing. He knows the system and told me what to expect during the hearing and he was absolutely right. Mr. Cervoni won my case.
Mr. Cervoni and everyone on his staff were wonderful. I am so happy I used this firm. All my questions were answered quickly and my paperwork was submitted in a timely manner. I did not have to go into his office to complete my claim. Do not hesitate to contact his office. The website was very well done also.
Awesome litigator! I thought navigating and applying for SSDI would be similar to that of the VA benefits. It was not. Although 100% P&T, I was denied initial SSDI benefits. I researched Mr. Cervoni’s record and contacted his office. His staff was pleasant and very helpful right out the gate. He accepted my case. I didn’t look back; however, I was amazed at how swift and un-stressful my hearing was. After months of waiting, my case was over in less than 20 minutes. Mr. Cervoni was prepared to the point the SSA expert witnesses had no rebuttals. Would I recommend Mr. Cervoni? Yes, without hesitation. However, I would also recommend you as the client to help yourself out in advance by seeing the doctor(s), start gathering your medical records, and research all disabilities being claimed.
I was referred to Mr, Cervoni when filing my claim for disability. I was not disappointed and was so thankful to his staff and him for helping guide me through the process. All of my inquiries were responded to timely, he explained the process to me in terms I could understand and ultimately represented me before my appeal before the judge. He was extremely knowledgeable and treated me with respect during the entire process.
I could not be happier with Mr. Cervoni’s work on my case. I hired him after my denial knowing I needed an expert. He managed the case very well and was always responsive to my questions. Clearly he has expertise and experience that was invaluable to me. The case has been successfully completed. I would be delighted to recommend him to anyone needing help with their claim.
I hired Derek's firm to help me through a disability claim. I don't have a lot of experiences with lawyers and Derek was recommended to me by a friend. His firm made the process easy for me, handling much of the heavy lifting. When my court hearing came, arguably the most stressful and daunting portion of the process, Derek walked me though my testimony, making me feel comfortable to tell my story. Things went well and my claim was ultimately successful, thanks to Derek's advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommend his services. Plus, he's a nice guy.
As someone who was indigent and homeless at this time one year ago and with several co-occurring medical conditions, I was experiencing multiple challenges around this time last year. Several law practices were not able to take on new cases given the size of their caseloads or their preference for taking a case only on appeal. However, with the Cervoni law practice, he was able and willing to take my case from the time of the initial filing without all of the prerequisites being demanded from other law practices. My case was favorably decided in less than four months. Furthermore, after having been ostracized from the county of my childhood, I was then able to get housed in a more sympathetic county along with now having income to support myself all thanks to the professional case review and support which I was able to receive from Mr. Cervoni during the most difficult times of my life. Moreover, the fact that Mr. Cervoni was familiar with many of my clinicians, practitioners, and facilities where I received care, all of that just made for a very smooth and harmonious user experience. Finally, Derek's familiarity with the local DDS and their local SSA offices made for an even smoother process which I would have never been able to navigate by myself. I consequently recommend Mr. Cervoni as the best disability attorney whom one can work with on any given appropriate and suitable disability claim. And I do look forward to working with him again in the future should that very need arise.
Derek ably handled our daughter's SSDI application all the way to a hearing before a judge. Thanks to his experience, expertise and persistence, she received full benefits. It helped to have someone who had experience appearing before this judge.
After my 1st denial, my Mr. Cervoni accepted my case and worked with me very patiently and professionally answering all my emails and calls. Many times he followed up a voice mail with an email. The SSDI process is long and tedious, I would suggest you contact him prior to submitting your initial application. Thank you Mr. Cervoni for always hearing me out when I needed to vent and for making sure I had a successful outcome.
