Alecia is one of those rare people who goes to the MAXIMUM , the smallest details are discovered by her , her staff and associates , reviewed , sorted and then verified . Formatted and edited in the pattern preferred by the Judges . Alecia takes the time to do it right the first time . Then she gentl...y warns you if WE fail this time , WE’RE not giving up !

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!

Alecia Helped Me Through The Disability Maze

I had a good case for disability according to Alecia but it is a daunting thing to go through when you don't feel very good. Alecia did all the work necessary to present my case to the Judge and took the burden off of me. She was kind courteous and very professional. She won my case and I am able to... concentrate on my health care....Thank you Alecia

Review for Alecia Elston from Maeghen for Disability

I hired Alecia Elston to represent me in my Disability case. I was very overwhelmed with all of the paperwork, in addition to feeling ill on a daily basis. Alecia was not only, knowledgeable and efficient, but also, kind, personable,and patient with me every step of the way. She kindly answered ever...y question that I had, as there were many. When it came time for my hearing, Alecia was highly prepared as she presented my case. She put me at ease. Thanks to her, I have the help that I need now. I highly recommend Alecia Elston, she is a truly wonderful attorney with compassionate and grace.
