Awesome attorney

Mr. Chris R. Borgia, Esq. is one of the most ethical and professional attorneys I have ever hired and had the pleasure of working with. Mr. Borgia was instrumental to the success of my SSDI case. In fact, I had already hired another attorney but after getting no where I decided to hire Mr. Borgia a...nd I'm glad I did. He saw my case to the end until we achieved success!He was always easy to reach and very responsive to all my calls, text msgs and other inquiries. He is a very caring, compassionate, and patient individual. I highly recommend Chris R borgia and I have since recommended him to some of my own family members and have also continued to use him for other legal work. Any one considering hiring an expetienced, hard working and competent social security disability attorney should contact Mr. Borgia first."

Best SSD Attorney in South Florida

I've know Mr. Borgia for the past 8 years. Mr. Borgia entered the field of Social Security Disabilty litigation after he was personally affected by a relative's denial of disability benefits. Mr. Borgia is not only very knowledgeable about SSD law but he also very passionate about his work. Over the ...years, I have personally referred him many SSD cases and our clients have always been very happy with the quality of his work but more importantly the personal attention he gives to every one his clients. If you are considering appealing an SSD denial or wish to consult with an SSD attorney before filing a claim, I highly recommend you speak to Mr. Borgia and get him working for you on your case.

Excellent SSD Attorney

I hired Chris Borgia after I was denied by SSA for my disabiility case. I have bad back problems with 2 surgeries. He took my case and represeented me at the hearing before the law judge and we won the case. Chris Borgia was very knowledgeable about the back conditions and the SSA laws and did a real...ly good job in cross examining the medical expert and vocational expert at my hearing. In the end, we won and I highly recommend him and his law firm.
