I came to Alicia for help in my SSD claim. Her aid to help me was very professional and thoughtful. I never thought of Alicia working for me, but with me every step of the way. My claim was approved in record time. I highly suggest a meeting with Alicia to go through your case file and help you ...through the mediation with a positive outcome.

Hi, Alecia is outstanding. I came to her for SSD with a very rare skin condition that I have. She walked me through every step of the way. She is very friendly knows what she is doing. This was very hard for me to talk about being this is so emotional for me. (My condition that is ). She made it ver...y easy ,answered every question I had in a manner I understood. No beating around the bush with Alecia very professional, # 1 in my book. She has a human side to her which I was afraid of most Drs and Lawyers do not she most certainly does . She made me feel like I was talking to my mother and or a friend about it. With everything put together and overall review of Case WE WON **** Most people don't understand that having a skin condition and working is very challenging , she understood and listened. I will forever be great full and recommend her to anyone of my friends or family members. She is Great and anyone that works with her is great to . Her assistant is wonderful both very empathetic and had a great amount of sympathy. Thank you Thank you. Once again # ONE in my book :) Also the Secretary very nice and on point such a nice lady . I(I don't remember her name ), Again Thank you , Thank you . Will ever be great full :)

SSDI Litigation

After interviewing many attorneys, I feel Ms. Elston was an excellent choice to help guide me through my disability case. She used her years of experience in this area of law to represent me admirably and successfully in my disability case. She stayed in close touch and kept me up to date throughout... the entire process. From start to finish she was an excellent liaison between the government SSDI decision makers and myself. Well worth mentioning is Alecia's support team from Segar and Sciortino. They were knowledgeable and helpful and always knew the most recent developments regarding my case anytime I called. I would highly recommend Alecia for your representation!

Responsive and effective

After giving an accurate assessment of my ss disability case, I was approved in record time! (under 3 months) Alecia was also always quick to respond to my calls.

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!
