Elizabeth D. Berenato

I have been working with Elizabeth Berenato for over 2.5 yrs. She was referred to me from Smith Magram after they stopped working on all disability claims. Elizabeth has worked tirelessly on my case and has kept informed on what was needed from me and my doctors. It was a long process and very discou...raging, but she was always very positive and kept working with me. Elizabeth is a very knowledgeable Lawyer and extremely up to date with all the SS laws. Elizabeth is someone who is very professional, courteous and hard pressed that I followed her recommendations. She WON my case with several yrs of back pay. I most definitely recommend her as a Lawyer.

I used Ms. Berenato 2 years ago and she was very helpful and honest. Ms. Berenato was very straight forward when I explained my Social Security case to her. I was awarded my case and the Judge commented on how efficient and well prepared my case was presented by Ms. Berenato. I have referred other... clients to Ms. Berenato because I trust her and believe in her.

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 was waiting for a court date for over 2 1/2 years then day of court I checked my mail on my out and I received a letter from her stating she is withdrawing from my case. Went to court and showed them the letter they were shocked by that. She never updated my records over a year. If she didn’t want ...to continue my case all she had to do is let me know well before the court date. Would never recommend her to anyone.
