Derek S Cervoni

We retained Derek Cervoni to represent me in my claim for Social Security Disability Income benefits. We were very pleased with his service. He is very knowledgable about the SSA disability system, and uses this to his client's advantage taking care of virtually all the aspects of this difficult proc...ess. While he basically took over the process, he kept us informed every step of the way with clear and timely communication. This was truly a relief as it allowed us to continue to focus on my treatment with one less thing to worry about about. He was also always timely and helpful with his response to questions and requests for further information. We would absolutely recommend Derek Cervoni to anyone seeking assistance with their Social Security Disability claim.

I highly recommend Derek Cervoni, who represented me in filing a Social Security Disability (SSD) claim. Mr. Cervoni was recommended to me by a partner at the Goodwin Procter law firm in Washington, DC. Mr. Cervoni was wonderful to work with during every aspect of my case. He was very approachable..., and he was extremely helpful in filing my claim. He filled out all of the SSD forms for me, and he continually kept me up-to-date on the status of my case. I always was able to reach Mr. Cervoni via telephone, email, U.S. mail or fax, and he answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Mr. Cervoni was able to guide me through the entire process, and, once the process started, he told me what I should expect. I was awarded my Social Security Disability benefits on the first attempt because of Mr. Cervoni’s expertise. I am very grateful that he was able to represent me in my SSD claim.

Mr. Derek Cervoni sucessfuly represented me at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to get my Social Security Disability (SSDI) in April of 2016. I had initially applied for SSDI on my own and was denied. I also filed the first appeal (reconsideration) on my own and lost that as well.... When I first called Mr. Cervoni I was put at ease as he asked detailed questions about my disability and how far along I was in the SSDI process. I could tell that he had great expierence by the questions he asked and by the way he asked him. He did not rush me and allowed me to ask him several questions as well. He told me he had represented other clients before my assigned ALJ and was very familiar with the vocational expert that would be at my hearing. I then met with him in person at his office and hired him. He immediately began working on my case. I have an extremely complicated medical history with over 2,000 pages of medical records. Derek quickly contacted all of my doctors to get the records. Derek even had my doctors fill out questionnaire created by him that were specific to my diseases and symptoms. He also guided me on what financial and employment records needed to be submitted to the ALJ before the hearing. Throughout the whole process Mr. Cervoni did an excellent job at keeping me informed. He always returned my voicemails and emails promptly. This made me feel like I was his only client and the success of my case was of upmost importance to him. He met with me in person before the hearing to prepare for how the hearing would be conducted and what questions the ALJ would ask me. The hearing was an overwhelming expierence but having Derek at my side made me feel confident and prepared. I could tell that the ALJ and vocational expert at the hearing greatly respected Derek and they took him seriously. Derek made it clear to the both of them that based on my medical records I was not able to do any type of work. He referenced specific records to demonstrate his arguments. At the end of the hearing the ALJ asked Derek for some additional medical information and gave a deadline of one week. Derek was able to quickly get that information to the ALJ. Once everything was submitted Derek said it would take around 6 weeks to hear from the ALJ. About six weeks later I got a phone call from Derek saying that the ALJ had approved my SSDI!!!! My only regret is not hring Derek to represent me from the begining of the SSDI process. If you are serious about winning your social security disability you should hire Derek Cervoni.
