Social Security & Disability 80%

I assist claimant's of all ages, even children, applying for social security disability income benefits and supplemental security income benefits. I am available to counsel you through this often multi-year long process. If it were easy, then it probably wouldn't be listed as an area of law on here.

80%
Administrative Law 15%

All of the law I practice is Administrative in some way. Avvo does not list as a practice area an area of law for a very important segment of our population....veterans. I assist veterans in claims for compensation and pension benefits due to disability and/or injuries incurred in or aggravated by service.

I recommend attorney Dax Jordan Lonetto because, he did a great job with my SSDI application. My application was denied two times before I hired him and I was very sick. He is very professional, exposed my case frankly with evidence and security. God bless him and his staff that was always available ...when I called. Finally, HE WON THE CASE.

Successfully Appealed the Claim In Connection With My Fibromyalgia And G.I. Disorders. Dax Lonetto Won For Me!!!! Dax and his team were phenomenal. The S.S initially denied my disability claim for benefits in connection with my fibromyalgia and G.I. disorders. Dax handled everything for me. He fil...ed my appeal, scheduled an appointment with the court, and after a wait of about a year and 2 months, the S.S. approved my claim without me having to go to the court. I would highly recommend Dax as your attorney for any disability claims. He is compassionate and caring – God bless you and your family, always. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all you've done.

Veteran Review

I want to take this opportunity to thank and to recommend the services of Dax J. Lonetto Sr., Esq. to any Veteran that is applying for or having issues with the VA disability award process. I sought Mr. Lonetto’s assistance after my justifiable claim was denied by the VA. Through Mr. Lonetto’s recomm...endations, I obtained supporting statements from my VA physician, plus a non-VA medical expert in the field. Both were in agreement with my claim and Mr. Lonetto submitted the new supporting documentation. The VA again denied my claim. Dax then appealed and represented me for a new, or fresh look (de novo), by a higher level VA representative. My claim was approved! Granted, this process took many months for the VA to accomplish, but because of this attorney’s expertise, I was successful. If you have a valid claim, I can think of no one else to better serve you and to recommend a course of action, plus provide faithful representation than Dax J. Lonetto Sr.

Successfully appealed VA Service Connected Sleep Apnea claim denial.

Dax and his team were phenomenal. The VA had denied my disability claim for Service Connected Sleep Apnea. Dax handled everything for me. All of our correspondence was handled through email and phone, so I never had to travel up to the lawyer's office. He filed my appeal, scheduled an appointment... with a civilian doctor, and after about a 12 month wait, the VA approved my claim and I received the increased VA disability rating, plus the back pay from the date I originally filed my claim. I would highly recommend Dax for any VA disability claims.

Dax Lonetto Won For Me!

I wish to advise all veterans that if you have been turned down by the VA for disability, you should contact Dax Lonetto. The VA denied my disability in 2015. I contacted Mr. Lonetto and for the next four years he battled the VA on my behalf. After denial after denial, he sent it to a higher review b...oard. The review board then awarded my disability, and I received back pay for over four years. This would NEVER have happened without the hard work of Dax Lonetto. We lost battle after battle but he won the war for me! Give him a call...

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
