Alan M Schiffman

I have been fighting for SSD benefits for 5 years and had multiple denials through another attorney. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment with Alan right away. When I went for my appointment, I actually met with both Alan and Anna! They agreed not only to take my case to the federal court,... but also to file a new claim as things continue to decline with my condition. I recently found out that we won our federal case and I couldn't be happier! It's been a long road since the beginning of all this and I only wish that I had known about this team of experts at Schiffman & Puig from the beginning! I highly recommend Alan, Anna and their entire team! Their prompt responses and understanding of all has truly saved me! Thank you!

When my wife became disabled at work in 2007 we were almost immediately overwhelmed with the situation. We felt abused and taken advantage of by her employer’s workers’ compensation contractor, and she was even accused of faking her injury. Meanwhile, we were under stress and getting behind with bil...ls. We were being spied on and questioned at every turn. All we really wanted was for my wife to get better or, if that was not possible, to be fairly compensated. What we got was the runaround. Then my wife found The Schiffman Law Office on the internet. Alan Schiffman agreed to take my wife’s case with her employer, and things changed dramatically. Suddenly, our rights were respected, and we no longer had to live in dread of the next letter or phone call. Alan Schiffman and his staff & associates were very understanding of our situation and the stresses involved. We appreciated their kindness and patience with us. It was such a relief to have them working on our behalf. We were kept updated very well, and they explained things in plain speech without a bunch of legal jargon. Any time we called with a question we usually received an answer at that time, the same day or within twenty-four hours. Frequently, Alan called us personally to make sure we had a good understanding of what was going on. My wife and I agreed that we felt valued by Alan and his team. It turned out that my wife’s case was quite complex and not easily handled. The Schiffman Law Office stayed with us the whole time, eventually winning the case and a settlement for my wife. They also agreed to represent her with Social Security, and this case also came out positive. There were times when we might have given up completely. The legal system is so confusing and complicated that we had no hope of figuring out what to do on our own. When my wife’s employer accused her of faking we were very frustrated, and when she was initially turned down by Social Security we were quite disheartened. Alan was very encouraging and inspiring. His confidence in my wife’s case helped us not to be discouraged. He took care of everything; he didn’t just stand by us he stood with us throughout the appeal process with Social Security. I should add that we were never asked for any money up front. After talking with other lawyers that wanted hundreds of dollars just to look at my wife’s case we were very grateful for that. The fees were very reasonable and everything was clear and understandable before we agreed to have The Schiffman Law Office represent her. Once the case was settled there were no surprises. My wife and I are extremely grateful for the help we received from Alan Schiffman and his associates. We could not have made it through this ordeal without him. I am very happy to write this letter saying so, because we believe there is no one better.

My wife and I could not have been more fortunate than to have had Mr. Alan M. Schiffman handle our (my wife's) case. There we many times that my wife and I became stuck on what was needed to gather and represent accurate documentation that was truly reflective of my wife's case. Going through the pro...cess of review after review can be laborious and discouraging, but he, along with his professional staff, was always there with goal-directed guidance, support and encouragement. Throughout the whole process, Mr. Schiffman an his staff were always there to direct us through the required steps and tasks that were needed to keep the case progressing to a final conclusion. We could not be more grateful for all that Mr. Schiffman and his professional staff did on our behalf.

Mr. Schiffman has been extremely helpful with my LTD case and my pending SSD case. He has diligently worked on my behalf. Mr. Schiffman and his office staff have been very helpful when answering questions and providing extra documents to me. I recommend Mr. Schiffman based off of my experience wit...h him and his firm. He is very knowledgeable, and willing to work hard to win mine and your case.
