Marc Vahan Kalagian

I found Marc Kalagian to be very patient, thorough and competent. My case was complex with several things that qualified me for benefits. I had the most horrible judge on my first appeal. Marc went through several levels, keeping me abreast of each one and also explaining them. He welcomed all qu...estions and concerns. If he couldn't talk, he'd get back to me when he could, using the same manner I contacted him with. Knowing this was a relief in itself.

Marc demonstrated a highly proficient knowledge of Social Security Disability law. And his strategy regarding my appeal was right on the number. He helped me navigate the appeals process. When we faced obstacles, Marc was able to come up with just the right course of action to overcome those obsta...cles. He instilled in me a high degree of confidence which enabled me to continue with the the appeals process. Additionally, Marc has employed a top-notch administrative team. Team members were both knowledgeable and courteous, and were always there to answer questions and facilitate my communications with Marc. Again I was very impressed with Marc, and would highly recommend him to anybody seeking a seasoned Social Security attorney.

I started the Social Security Disability process in August 2012 after medically retiring due to line of duty injuries. I hired Marc in 2014 when I needed to appeal to the Federal courts. Marc won not once, but twice in Federal court for me. After nearly 9 years of fighting, I finally received m...y back pay, monthly benefits, and Medicare. Most other attorneys would have just thrown in the towel. Marc stayed in the fight.

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.
