Aline I. Gaba, impressive and affective representation

Aline Gaba represented my daughter in her appeal to the SSA for permanent disability status, ably guiding us through a process that lasted fourteen months. From the first meeting, and throughout the entire time, Ms. Gaba was calm, patient, and thorough as she outlined the process and advised us abou...t what documents and records would be required to give our case the best chance of success. It was a lot. But she prepared me by being clear about the odds for cases like ours, and supported me by being accessible, responsive, and by sharing the benefits of her experience. This helped motivate me to organize the records I already had and to acquire the additional documentation that would strengthen our appeal. One’s first court experience can be daunting; mine was a positive one, handled well by a skilled attorney.

Professional, Knowledgeable & Experienced!

Through the very lengthy process of Social Security appeals, Ms. Gaba showed great patience with me and determined diligence to the end. After successfully crossing the finish line and winning my appeal, I look back and know I could not have done it without her. I am very thankful for her support and... encouragement! I have already recommended her services and will do so again! Thank you so much Aline!

Intelligent and Compassionate Social Security Attorney

I hired attorney Gaba to represent me at the Hearing level of my SSDI application. Attorney Gaba thoroughly prepared me for discussion of the evidence in my medical record with the judge. The time was finally here. Once we were all connected on the phone (hearing was conducted on the phone due t...o the pandemic), the judge alluded to a Summary Brief that attorney Gaba submitted on my behalf. After the formalities, the judge made an on-the-record approval. Her brief, succinctly and clearly summarized the evidence in my record for the judge, and was instrumental in him making a favorable decision from the facts without moving to the hearing. I would highly recommend attorney Gaba as your Social Security Attorney. Amazing!

Excellent Attorney!!

I have had the wonderful pleasure of working with Aline for a couple of years on a disability case. She was always prepared for our meetings, discussed what type of information she needed from us, and we discussed our expectations both positive and negative. Additionally, the Judge responsible Fo...r making the decision on my case complimented Aline on her work and performance. I was and still am very impressed.

Uniquely Skilled and Dedicated to Your Case

When I had my first consultation with Aline Gaba her I found her very kind and patient with me as I explained my situation and why I needed her services for an appeal after having received two previous denials for disability. Aline let me know that I had a good case based on the extensive documentat...ion I provided and my health situation. She was realistic with me so I had a ballpark time frame for when I would likely see a judge, when I would receive the decision, and when I would receive notice of benefits if I won my case. I hired Aline Gaba for my disability claim and her ballpark timeframes were right on all counts. While we waited for my court date, she prepared a list of things for me to provide her, like doctor’s notes and timelines, etc. I did everything she asked. When my court date came it was an open and shut case. I believe my case’s success was due to her organization, experience to what the court needs, and her thoroughness. She is a warm person, compassionate, and dedicated to your case. The thing that really stuck out to me was that, besides being a meticulous attorney, she makes sure that you are prepped and ready to show the court your case in an honest and complete way. I really felt like she represented me exactly how I would have represented someone I loved if I were an attorney. From the moment I met her I knew she would take care of my case and me. Aline Gaba is a uniquely skilled attorney and I will forever be grateful for her. My only regret is not calling her sooner.
