Excellent SSDI lawyer

I have consulted Atty. Marc Kalagian after my disability application was denied twice by ALJ. He helped me at the Federal Court Review - the next step in the appeal process where you file a lawsuit in U.S. district court. I received the approval of my SSDI without even going to court. The process wen...t smoothly because Atty Kalagian was very, knowledgeable, responsive, diligent, and empathetic. In this challenging life event, you need to have n extremely experience lawyer, and I felt that Atty Kalagian was so engaged in all the details. I thank him for helping me and most especially for having a caring heart.

Very, Very Good Attorney

I can not say enough good about Marc Kalagian personally and professionally. He is an outstanding attorney and a person of great integrity. Marc represented me in my SSA disability case. He was extremely diligent, very thorough, honest and caring. He guided me through the entire process keepi...ng me thoroughly informed and went above and beyond to help us. I highly recommend him to anyone who may need this type of legal representation as you cannot do any better.

Permanent Disability

Marc is a very kind and understanding individual. He was very thorough and professional. When Social Security denied my first request, I hired Mr. Kalagian to help me obtain permanent disability. The result was that I was approved for permanent disability. I would definitely recommend Mr. Kalagia...n.

Great guidance and support

It woks tough to nevigate thru the disability - and SSA staff misguided and laughed at my disability; in-spite of all my PCP; Neurologist and Cardiologist’s certification; my request / application for disability was rejected! If it was not for Mr. Marc V Kalagian; I may not have navigated myself w...ith the demands of the process! Thank you Mr. Kalagian!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Kalagian and the attorneys at his firm are the best in the field of Social Security. He treats his clients with respect and consideration. He does not abandon his clients if they are denied by Social Security. He stays on the case an appeals to the Federal Court and many, many times gets the ALJ's decision reversed and sent back for a new hearing."

  • 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.
