Posted by Mike | February 26, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

Experience and a positive attitude convinced me that I hired the right lawyer.

I reached a point where all I knew was I couldn't do the work I had done my entire life anymore. Then I found Jonathan Ginsberg,he and his team walked me through the long process applying for SSDI and thanks to their knowledge and experience I received a favorable decision on my claim for benefits.

Ginsberg Law is the Best

Excellent job done assisting me with step by step guidance and understanding of my claim process for SSDI. My case was approved in short time with assistance from Attorney Ginsberg and Staff. Thank again Ginsberg Law!

Do look any further!!!!

To those who are seeking a responsible and reliable lawyer for your disability case, there are no words to express the complete detail that Johnathan and his associates take to get your case approved. I tend to be the very nervous type and think always the glass 1/2 empty, hell I usually don’t have a... glass!!!! But all the time Johnathan’s steady approach and diligence gave me a calmness that he knows his stuff!!!! With all the new AI technology approaching fast, you want someone that is ready to adapt to all that social security is doing on that end. Make the choice I did and you will be extremely grateful.

Bittersweet News!

We hired Mr. Ginsberg after filing a disability claim which was denied. We appealed and again, my husband was denied. He had a liver transplant which saved his life but brought other complications, one of which was severe peripheral neuropathy. He had seen Mr. Ginsberg’s website and videos, so we ...contacted his office. They accepted his case and we started the process of preparing for a hearing. Unfortunately, my husband passed away. I thought this was the end, but Jen Socha, who was always very attentive and very nice, said that I would be substituted as his widow. Mr. Ginsberg helped me prepare for the hearing and I felt confident that I would be able to explain to the Judge his everyday struggles. Today I received the bittersweet news that we received a fully favorable decision. Hiring Mr. Ginsberg was the best decision we made. I also want to say that Madelin Warren was very nice and helpful when we first contacted the firm, which made our decision so much easier. Mr. Ginsberg and his staff are very professional, informative and kind. If I ever have the opportunity to recommend a disability attorney to anyone, it will be Jonathan Ginsberg, Esq. of Ginsberg Law Offices. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Expert legal disability knowledge leads to victory.

Thanks to his vast knowledge of disability law and his years of legal practice, Johnathan and his excellent team (particularly Jen, Kaianna and Madeline, who all answered my many questions and were able to guide me throughout the process,) I was granted a fully favorable decision by the disability ju...dge. I couldn't have done it without them, and I will be eternally grateful to this excellent law firm, thank you for everything.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
