Elizabeth D. Berenato

Elizabeth was handling my partners case after being referred by Magram & Associates. everything in the beginning was great. When time came to appear in court everything was going fine until the judge for the case got changed to one that Ms Berenato was not familiar with and had no rapport with. Long ...story short we were denied. When the time came for an appeal Ms. Berenato ghosted us. We got a letter stating she changed firms. WE ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES to speak to her. Voicemail after voicemail. EMAIL AFTER EMAIL. with no response. She completely disappeared with no communication as to how to proceed further. I have since taken over my partners case while I look for new representation. She is a disgusting, awful, peice of garbage for treating any client this way. No respect whatsoever.

Mrs. Berenato is very unprofessional, like most have said. I've waited 2 yrs for a court date, after constantly calling the office to find out the status of my case. Every time I called I always got her voicemail ,left messages it would take weeks for her to return my call or wouldn't receive a cal...l back. I received my court date ,she didn't call me into the office to prepare for my hearing. At my hearing she only said 5 words, needless to say i was denied. Now , I have to file an appeal trust me I will not be contacting her again. Do yourself a favor and check out the attorneys background before you retain . I should've went with my gut feeling and consulted with another attorney about my case. I figured it was to late since I had a court date already. If she didn't want to take my case she should've been straight forward.

I retained Ms Berenato for my social security disability case. This was the worst experience of my life. Over a three year period I never heard from her more than once or twice after calls that I made to her office. I was denied my disability claim and then filed an appeal that was ultimately also de...nied. She came to court over a half hour late, never spoke to me prior to the hearing. All I can say is that I cannot put into words how terrible she is. Please do yourself a favor and get a real attorney.

I consulted with Ms.Berenato to get help with my social security disability after I had been denied previously. There was little to no help from Ms.Berenato. I was told by disability that she hadn't sent in any of the medical records they had requested months before . Now I'm going to appeal and will... not be rehiring. She has sent me papers that I've already signed from disability and If I'm out of work on disability I have no money to spend on envelopes and stamps to send the same papers that disability already has . There was no communication at all. Could not get in touch with her to save my life and the one time I was able to she argued me down about me not doing doing what I needed to do because I told her disability told me they didn't receive medical records. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS LAWYER TO ANY ONE. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNORGANIZED. ! I definitely would have been better off appealing my first denial. Months later I've had my second surgery and still nothing .
