Social Security Disability

My lawyer worked very hard on my case. She knew just when to submit my records to the administrative office so they could be sent to the judge. This time period gave me the best possible chance for an approval by the judge. Her stratagy worked and I won my case. I would highly recommend Lila Forro to... anyone else. Thanks Lila for a job well done.

Lila Forro is THE BEST!

I highly recommend Lila Forro! She is a first-class attorney who from the very beginning, as we discussed my case, I could tell was smart, experienced, knowledgeable and expert in disability law. I felt confident that Ms Forro would present the facts of my case in such a manner that Social Security ...would clearly see why I was deserving of disability benefits. I felt relief to have Ms Forro involved and in charge. She took responsibility for all matters pertaining to Social Security and me. But if I still had questions she was very prompt in answering and addressing my concerns. Since she knows “the system” so well and how cases progress through it, she was able to reassure me that my case was proceeding as it should. It was just taking a LONG time. At all times Ms Forro was upfront and honest about my chances of receiving benefits. She contacted me often with advice and encouragement. She had just the right amount of compassion and empathy for me and my disability that I felt she truly cared about me, my family and my quality of life. I believe Lila Forro, along with the hard work and dedication of her staff, is the reason that I am receiving disability benefits today.

Smooth like butter.

Every step of this very long process was made eceptionally easy through her hard work. She made me feel comfortable about all the stuff I didn't understand. I would highly recommend Lila Forro to anyone who needs an excellant disability lawyer.

Highly Reccomended, Outstanding Attorney

Review Lila The filing of a Social Security disability claim and the subsequent appeals process is confusing and a complicated process. It is often overwhelming to locate, prepare, and present the information you are looking for when you are faced with a disability claim denial. Hiring experienced... representation will definitely alleviate that burden, as well as ensure that you are able to prove your disability to the Social Security Administration. Being represented by Lila T Forro you will receive the best representation available in the industry of disability law firms My attorney, Lila T Forro, went the extra mile in preparing and presenting my case to the administrative law judge. Her Diligent work was responsible in garnering a "Fully Favorable" decision from the judge resulting in a back-pay award. I would Highly recommend to anyone who is going through the disability process with Social Security Administration to call you. Communication with Lila was respectable and appreciated. and was always professional , courteous and appropriate. I was very confident being represented with Lila and she was highly effective and I appreciated that She knew my case very well and presented it in a highly effective manner at my hearing. There was joy when She called me and informed me of the Fully Favorable Decision and then when I received and read the letter from Social Security, that confirmed the Fully Favorable! Even though my physical pain continues on a daily basis It is nice to know, I had the experience of a professional attorney to help win my case Thanks again for helping me and taking my case you are Highly Recommended to anyone in need of help with the SSA disability process
