"Phil has over 20 years of experience handling disability pension matters for civil servants. He brings with that over 13 years of experience as President of a 11,000 member city union. He has managed thousands of disability pension matters, and oversees every case with great care and responsibility. He has a great track record winning his disability pension cases and I have had the pleasure of working with him frequently."
"Highly knowledgeable about disability pensions, especially in NYC where he served as a union head for 20 years."
"I have worked with Seelig Law Office in many occasions and will continue to do so. The care and professionalism they show towards each client is unmatched and their knowledge of the law is equally impressive."
"I endorse this lawyer. Phil Taught me everything I know about Social Security Disability case. He has helped thousands of Civil Servants obtain their benefits. Our clients can always rely on his knowledge when navigating the administrative maze the is the Social Security Administration."
"I worked as an Associate for Phil Seelig for 8 months, and I came to realize that there might not be another lawyer in New York more knowledge about NYC disability pensions and social security disability than Phil Seelig. He built this firm from the ground up 21 years ago and is still going strong today. Coming from a civil service background himself, Phil knows the NYC disability pension system like the back of his hand, and through his experience, he personally knows most people involved -- on a first name basis. I saw first hand that his success rate is very high, and I would trust him with a case of my own. I recommend him without reservation."
