Superior Attorney

I was referred to Alecia through a relative of mine. I have used many different attorneys in my life. Alecia by far was the best. She is thorough, responsive, involved and patient. Every email or phone call was answered promptly and always answered all my questions with compassion and respect. If yo...u're looking for a social security disability attorney, look no further, she is the one & only!!!

Glad I found her

I contacted the office after being denied for my disability. She clearly explained the process, walked me thru everything and explained the fees etc. Given everything is still delayed in courts with Covid and backlogs it did take awhile to get to the hearing phase. The office obtained all my medic...al documentation which was very lengthy and time consuming. When it came to the hearing she allowed me to come into the office to do it over the phone as I wanted. She definitely helped me win my case.

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

Alicia Elston was such a great asset to me for my disability case. She guided me step by step on what to expect, was always available for phone calls and additional questions or any guidance that I needed. After our first meeting I had 100% confidence that she was on top of anything that needed to be... done! I am thankful that I went to Segar and Sciortino and met Alicia! I would highly recommend her!

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!

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!
