Easy Peasy, she’s the best

Alecia is a breath of fresh air when it comes to navigating the world of getting benefits you are entitled to. I heard horror stories of people being denied initials and waiting forever but her timeline was spot on. She’s obviously very well versed with the system and the time lines. She handled my c...ase with compassion and confidence and gave me solace knowing that I had the best lawyer handling my case. I can’t thank her enough.

Alecia is a personable, dedicated and hard-working attorney. My case was challenging and the first hearing was not in my favor. Alecia encouraged me to try again so we appealed the judge's ruling. I was very discouraged but she gave me hope. We appealed the first decision and this time, the judge...'s decision was in my favor! I guess the most important thing I can say about Alecia is that she believed in me. She kept moving forward with my case no matter what roadblocks we faced along the way. On a lighter side, Alecia is a cat lover and so am I! I couldn't help but think that was no coincidence! Alecia has many attributes. She's smart, efficient, and when she takes on a case she gives of herself 100%. I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

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.

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!
