Great firm for car accidents and disability cases

was involved in accident that left me with neck and back back pain. I reached out to Steven and his great team Vigrina and Tracey . They made the whole process stress free updated me every step of the way with my case. I would definitely recommend them team for any accidents they settled my case afte...r a year with a large settlement after being offered nothing by the insurance team. Don’t hesitate to give them a call one their other lawyer also help me win my disability case after being denied 3 years in row. They are the best lawyers to team up with

Highly recommended

I highly recommend this firm. Very helpful and professional. Segar & Sciortino had represented me for personal injury and disability claims and had favorable results both times. And I definitely would not hesitate if I were to hire again.

Very competent, thank you Alecia Elston.

This is Lisa Vince. Alecia Elston handled my Social Security Disability case and I am truly grateful for all she did for me. Because of the decisions she made as to how to proceed with my claim the approval for my claim was expedited. Alecia is competent, knowledgeable and very helpful. She was p...atient with my questions and explained things clearly. I appreciate all of your help, Alecia -- thank you so much!

Didn't know what to expect

Unfortunately I was injured at work during a routine work day. Next came the accident reports and initial medical examinations which revealed an injury, prescribed treatment, and time off from work. I felt that I should consult legal advise. Having had minimal involvement with the legal system a...nd a cloudy recollection of a few bad lawyer jokes I was at a loss when I started looking for a lawyer. As it happened, a friend of mine has a son that is a partner in a local law firm. Asking him for a recommendation, he told us his best choice would be Stephan Segar of Segar & Sciortino. Right he was! At our initial meeting he was affable yet professional. He treated my situation as a serious matter and after some consultation with me I felt comfortable enough to go forward. Mr. Segar very capably handled my Workmans Comp. case and felt there were sufficient grounds to file a third party law suit, and in addition a case for S.S. disability. It did take some time, however Mr Segar was correct on all accounts and positive conclusions were attained in each of the three areas. Throughout the process Mr. Segar and the firm staff treated me with respect, friendliness, and reassurance. I had to do very little and was assured Mr. Segar’s fees would be recovered only in the event of a successful outcome, which was so. I would heartily recommend Segar & Sciortino as a successful law firm of Integrity and solid resource should the need for their services be required.
