SSDI expertise

As a full time caregiver with a full time job in the world of clinical compliance and patient financial clearance, one would think I would not need assistance securing SSDI benefits for my husband who is s/p 8 strokes with a host of medical issues. Attorney Luanne Santelises was recommended to me by ...my attorney, and I am eternally grateful. The application process was prepared via a telephone call, fortunately I had all the documentation that was needed and was updated over the course of our pending application. Luanne was easy to communicate with and had an abundance of patience. She was detailed and kind as she explained the convoluted process. When hear of the denials many receive - we had an approval in 7 months. Thank you. Thank you. I highly recommend Luanne Santelises, and feel comfortable to return to her with any questions.

Thank you

Thanks to Luanne, my long awaited dream of becoming a US resident became a reality. I am eternally grateful to her and her team for all their hard work and compassion. Luanne represented on my behalf with passion and conviction. She treated me as an individual. As oppose to just another case. I hi...ghly recommend her services. With her dedication and intelligence. She will get the job done.

Social Security disability

The stress of recovering from my illness in addition to starting to explore the application process for Social Security disability benefits was overwhelming at times and I’m most thankful for Attorney Santelises’s help. She assisted me with not only application but help gathering and submitting nece...ssary documentation and overseeing the process throughout. I appreciated her expertise, patient explanations, and kind nature. I would recommend Attorney Santelises if you need help applying for and receiving SSA benefits.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer 100%. I have not only worked closely with Attorney Santelises on numerous matters; but I have in fact referred her friends and family matters; as I do not do this area of law personally. I have had nothing but positive results and comments about her legal results and personal service. She speaks Spanish and English but has access to staff that speaks other languages as well. I would always recommend Attorney Luanne Santelises to anyone for even their most complicated immigration issues regardless of what country they are coming from."
