Very experienced lawyer!

I consulted with Alecia after my Uncle recommended her firm for my disability case. I was hesitant and unsure of everything until we got into the courtroom and then Alecia showed her skill and blew me away. I am absolutely convinced I would not have had a favorable outcome if Alecia hadn’t been as ex...perienced as she was. I would not have been able to navigate this alone. She knew exactly what to say and what questions to ask and was clearly very prepared. All I can say to anyone looking to hire her is trust the process! Extremely experienced and obviously I’m super happy with my favorable 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!

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.
