Mariam Alexanian Lavoie

Yes, please read this so that you may hire a great lawyer! Secondary to being rear ended and injured I applied for SS disability. Don't do as I did. Get professional help. After almost a year of paperwork and two denials I was feeling pretty bleak when another lawyer suggested getting a speciali...st in this facet of SS law and recommended Mariam to me. We met for coffee and I got to meet a wonderful person. I would later learn Mariam is a top shelf lawyer in her chosen specialty. Quickly she took control and I got to hear some beautiful words "don't worry, let me take care of this". There are many superlatives that can be used to describe how Mariam gets all the facts together for your case but, I would like to make special mention of one. Mariam is gifted with a beautiful poise and demeaner in her conversational skills. In life, I feel those things are positive and "bear fruit". Mariam did just that getting me a fully favorable ruling winning my case in front of a judge. This was a decision with good consequences for the rest of my life. Thanks, Rich

Mariam Lavoie is a dedicated professional who truly cares for her clients and is extremely knowledgeable in her area of Social Security and Disability. Mariam was referred to me by my Workers Compensation Attorney and represented me during the difficult SSDI application process. She initially met wit...h me and went over everything to make sure I understood the process and checked in with me periodically. She is very easy to talk to and always responded quickly to phone calls and emails. After my SSDI application was approved, she continued to work with SSDI to make sure my benefit amount was adjusted properly and timely after my Worker’s Compensation case was settled. I would highly recommend her!

Mariam was referred to me by my Workers Comp Atty in order to help me receive Disability benefits after waiting nearly two years. Every meeting was positive, fruitful, informative, and pleasant! Mariam is a professionalism in every way, but made my husband and I completely at ease with her willin...gness to explain every detail, and sometimes more than once! Unlike experiences with other attorneys, she is quick to communicate. At my Disability hearing, she was confident, positive, accurate, and friendly. I have received a full approval for my benefits. She met with us again to explain every detail, and assured me that she is there for me anytime, with any questions, although my case is complete. Mariam has my utmost respect, and that is because, it is totally mutual. I will absolutely reach out to here in the future, should the need arise.

Mariam Lavoie has been my lawyer for just under a year now and I have the utmost respect for her. She has represented me through the difficult process of filing for SSDI. She initially sat down with me to explain everything in great detail. She ensured that I understood everything before she moved... forward. Throughout the process she was always upbeat and informative. She assisted me with all of the forms to ensure that I was comfortable and accurate with my answers. She was able to build a professional relationship with my doctors and was able to pass on their reports to SSDI very quickly and if she has difficulties with that she would call me to help expedite the process. Together we were successful in appealing my case, and benefits have been awarded. I will meet with her one more time to ensure that every need I have is explained and correct. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her. I always felt comfortable with the process because she would not only respond to me quickly, but would periodically check in with me to see how I was doing. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and respectful even when she had to answer some of my inexperienced questions. She is a nice person and I will recommend her to every person I meet. She will be my “go to” lawyer forever. When you find a lawyer that cares as much as she does and works as hard as she does for you, you don’t let them get away.

Having practiced medicine for nearly 40 years, I have had the opportunity to work with many attorneys in legal matters pertaining to patients with whom I have had the distinct pleasure of treating, and with cases in which I have served as an expert witness (for the plaintiff and for the def...ense). Accordingly, over the years, I have been able to discern attorneys who have been superb in their professional approach to their craft. Attorney Mariam Lavoie is one of those lawyers who is outstanding on a professional and personal level. She listens, she guides, and she gets results. As a physician, you take the best care of your patients. However, you never envision yourself being on the other side of the stethoscope, i.e., becoming a patient. When that happened to me, I was extremely fortunate to have Attorney Mariam Lavoie represent me through the disability process, including Social Security disability. I look forward to returning to the practice of medicine I love, namely Neuro-Ophthalmology, which I consider the Best field of medicine.
