Finally Approved for Benefits

My spouse was diagnosed with MS several ago and we have applied for SSDI multiple times over the years, all of which were denied. The last time we filed, we decided to use an attorney who was poor at communication up to and including the hearing (the attorney only said about a dozen words on my spous...e's behalf). That case was denied again and the attorney's office ceased all communication the second the denial came through. My spouse wanted to give up on applying but I wanted to try once more. This time we hired Marc Shipon and could not be happier. The staff was great. Everyone was personable, very open and consistent with communication, and more helpful throughout the entire process than I could have ever hoped for. My spouse was just FINALLY approved for benefits, and it's all thanks to Marc Shipon, Lauren Piro, and the rest of the staff! Even after the approval, they have been in communication to make sure that we know the next steps in the process and encouraged us to call back at any point if we have any questions or concerns. Moral of the story, I recommend Shipon Law to everyone and anyone that could benefit from their services! They are absolutely amazing!

Compassionate Social Security Disability Lawyer - Marc Shipon

I hired Mr. Marc Shipon to handle my Social Security Disability case because I was trying to do it on my own and was failing miserably. In hindsight I wish I had known about his firm earlier so I could have hired him right from the start. I was so impressed with Marc's genuine compassion and sense o...f truly wanting to help me. He seemed to understand how difficult it is to go through the disability process when you are barely functioning. Mr. Shipon and his team were extremely responsive from day 1. They guided me through the process and explained how it would all work. I had heard so many terrible stories of people hiring lawyers who were not responsive and not actively working on their cases, which made them drag on even longer. My experience with Mr. Shipon was completely different. It was clear my case was important to him and his team. They were easily accessible via phone and email and were always willing to answer my questions, and they answered them the day I asked them (usually within and hour or so). Instead of my case dragging on another year or more, it ended up being settled much more quickly. I attribute that to Mr. Shipon and his team and their true dedication to those of us who are disabled. I strongly recommend Marc Shipon and his firm if you are ever in need of a disability lawyer and would like to get your case resolved sooner rather than later.
