Outstanding lawyer!

When we met Alecia for our first consultation we were immediately impressed with her professional, and outgoing personality. She explained everything to us as far as the process for filing disability. In addition, she was patient in answering all our questions! Based on her professionalism, and her p...ositive attitude we hired her to take our case. She did well and asked the right questions during our hearing! We were successful in getting SSDI for my wife because she took our case seriously, communicated well on our behalf and during the court hearing. For these reasons we would highly recommend Alecia Elston as an attorney, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Alecia!

Simply The Best

Alecia is the best attorney out there. I liked her the first minute I met her. I knew she would work hard for me and she did just that. She answered all of my questions and made the whole process a lot less scary. Thank you Alecia for all you have done.

After having a very active work life where I had very physical jobs and always had a job on my feet and an avid walker I never thought I would be seeking to obtain an attorney to obtain social security benefits. I hired Alecia twice once back in 2012 and the second in 2019 . Although I had returned ...to work and thought it was all behind me after having back surgery 6 yrs later I returned to her because after having foot surgery and chronic pain in my entire body. Alecia did a fantastic job in obtaining SSD benefits for me. It is a long process but she did a great job keeping me informed and educated on the process which helped me to be less anxious about my future. Life changes and we have to adapt I thought I would be working for much longer but I'm glad that Alecia was there for me! I cant thank her enough! I recommend her highly.

I saw that Alecia ...enjoys her job by her demeanor and dedication. I will definitely refer Alecia Elston to anyone who need a lawyer. Thank you Alecia Elston !!!!

Highly Knowledgeable

Being an active, hard working person all my life, i never thought i would find myself seeking a disability judgement. And although i didn't "look" disabled, several surgeries left me unable to fully function. My particular case took almost three years to receive a successful judgement. Alecia never... wavered, believed in my case, and fought until the end. Even when the judge hinted to move my original application date, which would have resulted in a substantial loss of benefits, Alecia, because of her past experience and knowledge kept the course and was successful! She has my fullest recommendation!
