Attorney referral of client.
I referred my client to her to handle a Social Security Disability claim (SSDI). She handled the client's claim promptly and my client was pleased with the handling of the claim.I shall contiue to send my clients with SSDI claims to her.

An attorney who is caring and knowledgeable. Consult with her first!
After two SSD denials Atty. Riviere was able to help me get my SSD at a hearing with a Advocate Judge. She is easy to talk to, very thorough and honest and compassionate. Excellent overall.

Wonderful Lawyer
Ms. Riviere won my SSD case, when I thought it was hopeless. She is smart, compassionate and obviously well respected by the local SSA judges.

Excellent Lawyer!
Very knowledgeable and helpful. I had a very difficult case but Miss Riviere was able to get my social security for me without a problem at all. She helped me with the doctors and my medical records. I refered my brother to Miss Riviere for his personal injury case too.
