The best!! Highly recommend

A 5 star is not enough . I wish I can give her a 10. I was frustrated with other services and I came across her name online. I trusted the reviews but did not really expect such great service.. She is so friendly., answers all your questions and keeps you inform of the progress. I would highly recomm...end her if you need a good competent attorney. Thanks again for all you help Mrs. Kafshi.

Attorney Kafshi put her client's interest, that is to say my interest, above her own monetary compensation/fee interest.

If I'm correct, Social Security Disability Attorneys are compensatated/paid by recovering overdue or initially rejected disability claims; it may be something like 25% of the overdue or initially rejected payments. On our initial meeting, I asked Attorney Kafshi this following question, but perhaps ...in different words: " Why would you help me on my initial request for Social Security Disability, when if you are successful, you may not be paid anything (or very little for a Social Security late payment), but it the first attempt fails you can expect reasonably higher compensation?" Right off, Attorney Kafshi told me that as her client, she is there to work for my benefit (on this initial request) ; that if I was perfectly satified with her initial work, even if she gained no fee, she would appreciate an honest review as that may help. Well, Attorney Kafshi was totally truthful, responsive to me and the Social Security Dept., extremely knowledgeable, always kept me informed, and always extremely polite and respectful. Attorney Kafshi was successful for me on my initial Social Security Disability request. (It's sort of a shame that my life's experiences have taught me mistrust; in this situation, trust worked out well for me.)

Sara Kafshi and the staff work hard for you.

Having worked for/with attorneys most of my life I know some of them just want the paycheck. Not so with Sara Kafshi and her partner. I obtained her services for a Social Security Disability Case. She gave me all the information I needed and contacted all the necessary people. I was represented with ...confidence and came out successful. My thanks go to her and her office for a job well done!

"As a fellow Social Security attorney, I believe I am well positioned to give Sara my highest recommendation for anyone that is looking for a Social Security attorney who gives their clients personalized attention and real expertise. I often consult with Sara on Social Security issues and have found her to be a great source of knowledge. With so many large firms doing Social Security work these days, it is hard to find a disability lawyer like Sara who dedicates her entire career and practice to giving quality legal care to her clients."
