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.

Alecia Elston BEST OF THE BEST!

Ms. Alecia Elston was 10 star from the moment I first met her. I had many questions and concerns that seemed very overwhelming at the onset, however, Alecia and her assistant immediately helped bring my fears to rest. It was apparent by the number of legal boxes and multiple file cabinets in her ...office, the many folders banded and neatly organised that she was both very busy, and had an eye for detail. Her patience and attentive focus on each and every question I posed left no doubt that I had the very best attorney in the firm and was in very good care. My case was won without appeal and I believe with all my heart that this was primarily due to Alecia and her fantastic assistant that keeps the office flowing. Thank you so much for the always kind and exceedingly polite receptionists both in person, as well as on the phone any time I called. In spite of the size and tremendous success of this firm, I always felt as I was the most important client and at no point ever rushed for any reason. Thank you from the bottom of my Heart for a job well done. Not enough stars available for a person that was not just my attorney, but a person I am glad to call a friend. God bless you! Tim

Sandra Brown

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.
