Won my appeal

My disability claim was denied. Thanks to Sara. I won my appeal after two years. I highly recommend her. But, sometimes no one answers the office phone. They always call me back after I leave a message.

An Excellent Lawyer!

I am very happy Ms. Kafshi handled my disability appeal case. Not only she is one of the nicest lawyers you will ever meet, she is also very smart and knowledgeable in her field. She treats everyone with respect (e.g. her clients, the office staff, and personnel at the court), has the special abilit...y to make the atmosphere non-stressful, which was important because these cases tend to be highly stressful. I am so glad she represented me. She walked me through the process patiently and efficiently, so I felt comfortable. She and her staff were very professional; I would highly recommend her.

a compassionate professional

After working all my adult life and becoming disabled,the law offices of ryan and kafshi handled my disability claim. Even their office manager treated me like I was a big time millionaire client. When I get better and wealthy again , I will definitely use their services in the future.

Sara Kafshi is a good Jersey City SSD/ SSI lawyer

Sara did my social security disability case less than 6mo ago this year 2014 and its because of her I'm receiving SSD benefits now. She's very knowledgeable, courteous, fast, efficient. If you are filing for SSI or SSD I would recommend you have her do it. Hi Sara, its Robert N. Thank you for the oth...er day giving me that info. I appreciate you going that extra mile. Ok that's my honest review of Sara Kafhi.

"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."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
