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!

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.

GREAT Experience

I needed help getting Social Security Disability, I called Segar & Sciortino and met with Alecia. I was nervous and not sure what to expect. After talking with Alecia, I felt so much better. She answered all my questions and assured me that she would do everything in her power to help me - and she di...d. I so appreciate all she has done for me.

Excellent

Alecia made the whole SSDI process so painless and easy for us. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Alecia for taking away some of the stress associated with my husbands illness. Your attention to detail and professionalism is outstanding!

The right person for the job

Being that my case was not the usual (it was a Lyme Disease Disability/Social security) I knew it was going to take the right attorney in order to have any chance. I can honestly say I could have not asked for a better lawyer than Alecia. She was assuring, well prepared, and professional at all times.... I believe her attention to detail was a big part of our success. As I said this was an unusual circumstance, one that I'm sure the courts were not to familiar with and she handled it with full confidence. I can assure anyone who is represented by Alecia that are in the best of hands. I am very appreciative of the job she did.
