Review Jay Bernstein

Excellent results

Posted by

Mr. Bernstein handled my SSDI case after I was denied. He thoroughly explained all procedures and all possibilities and potential outcomes. We were successful. He has a very gentle demeanor but he is aggressive when needed. I highly recommend him.
