Jennifer Zorrilla is Amazing

There aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Jennifer was helping me navigate the Social Security Disability process. She was recommended by a co-worker who spoke very highly of her. Throughout all of our correspondence by email and phone she was incredibly helpful and patient. Applying for a...nd navigating the SSDI system can be very challenging for anyone, and Jennifer guided me all the way until I received my benefits. Without her help it probably would have taken years to get an approval, and it’s quite possible I would have been denied the whole way. She was very patient and explained in detail about what I needed to do in getting my medical records up to date and submitted on time, as well as making sure I filled out the forms properly. I could go on and on about how helpful, patient and professional Jennifer was for me but I’ll just say this……Jennifer is amazing at her job. If you need a lawyer to help you with SSDI you won’t find anyone better. Thank you SO MUCH Jennifer!! Ed R.

Fantastic SSDI Attorney

Jennifer is incredibly professional, from the initial consultation to the completion of my SSDI case. She has a thorough knowledge of the SSDI procedures and kept me completely informed during the long tedious process. Her personable character is very reassuring and was greatly appreciated.

Jennifer Zorrilla is THE BEST

When I became disabled and unable to work, a friend recommended just file by myself for SSDI. After months, I got the interview, brought all the required and then some documents. The man conducting the interview, kept looking at, then setting aside all the docs, saying "no need, no need". My claim, a... pretty much slam dunk but they love to deny on 1st go around, was denied. Other friends said try the big out of state firms that advertise. I researched them, but their ratings were dismal at best. I wanted someone local to me, I reviewed the top attorneys, and came upon Jennifer. We talked on the phone, and she asked a lot of questions, as did I. We agreed on her taking my case. I scanned, faxed, emailed all the documents for her to review and she got to work. She asked for more documents/info while she quickly put together the appeal it took a couple weeks [this during the covid panic]. She then filed the appeal, and my appeal was accepted within a month. She saved my bacon, as I was almost broke thanks to not being able to work. Jennifer was a god send for me and my family. The five-star rating should be a lot higher in her case. I am glad I found her and had her expertise, knowledge, and personal action. Thank you again so very much Jennifer.

Helped with Disability

Jennifer helped me through the process of getting disability. She kept me informed through the entire process and at the hearing she was really prepared and she was able to help me get approved. I would recommend her services to anyone needing help with social security disability.

Disability case

Jennifer is such a great lawyer! She explained everything I needed to know to proceed is my SSDI appeal. She has such a vast knowledge that no question was difficult to answer. She is such a good hearted person. She treated me as an equal, I was very comfortable with her from my first phone call, unt...il the close of my case. She stands up and does her best!
