Alise M. Kellman

Ms Kellman was a life saver for me. I had been through so much and navigating everything needed to get the disability SS I needed was a mountain I couldn’t and didn’t even know how to climb. Ms Kellman took charge and helped me navigate every hurdle. She is so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. If you need a good lawyer that not only knows the law but cares about you., then Ms Kellman is the lawyer you need to be by your side to help you with a very difficult process. I’m so grateful to her for helping me when I needed it most

Alise Kellman is an excellent attorney. I needed help with my disability case and she was very knowledgeable, and explained in detail the process, what to expect, always returns calls, keeps you in the loop as case progresses. Alise is patient and very easy to talk with, bottom line she knows her stuff and her staff is just as competent. Alise is up front on how you stand. In my case, we won! So thankful I picked her to represent me.

Finding Alise was a godsend. It is very difficult for me to jump through all the hoops, and I was very discouraged about being denied my original claim for SSDI. She picked up the pieces, and made sense of the mess I created. Alise and her staff patiently walked me through gathering my evidence, and doctor's information. I couldn't have done it without her help. I was happy to hear that I got approved today. Thank you so much Alise, and Mr Gorner for all the work you have done for me and my family.

I contacted Alise to get advise about a social security for a recently widowed Mexican national. Alise was extremely helpful, easy to work with, and patient in explaining the situation clearly to me over several phone calls.

Alise, Edward, and her team were amazing to work with. Every time I needed something from them, they were so responsive and answered quickly. They were accurate and fast with processing my case and paperwork, and they were so helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Alise, Edward, and her team to anyone needing legal assistance with social security disability. She made the process much less stressful and I felt so blessed to be able to work with her. She had great judgement and I could not have asked for a better attorney.

I consulted with Alise Kellman when SSA made mistakes regarding time periods and overpayments. She knew exactly how to accurately conduct calculations, what forms to use, and communicated such in a more comprehensive, simpler fashion. I would not have had the successful result without this consultation. I strongly recommend Alise Kellman.

Alise is down to earth, straight forward, and truthfully knows the disability system inside and out. We tried first on our own to apply for disability for my daughter, and it was denied. At that point, we hired a health care advocate to help us with the appeal, The appeal was also denied. At that point, I went online and researched disability attorneys in San Diego and was very impressed with Alise. Hiring Alise was the best decision, she was able to call Social Security and reason with the staff to review their decision, and my daughter was awarded disability. I am very thankful to Alise.

I had received a letter from SSDI stating I had gone over substantial Gainful Activity two years prior. As a result, I was threatened with a two year overpayment and removal from medicare. After a one hour interview she was empathetic, understood my case and told me how she would handle my case all on contingency. The resolution of my case was that SSDI had made an accounting error and all my benefits were restored. She is extremely knowledgeable and fair.

She guided me through the processes from the beginning to the end of my case. She was personable and caring.

Alise was knowledgeable and kind. She guided me thru a very confusing and difficult process. My disability was almost taken away but she helped me keep it. I have and would use her services again if necessary.

After two SSDI applications were denied I realized I need to have a lawyer represent my case. After Ms. Kellman reviewed my medical records and prior applications she then advised me what else would be needed to appeal my case. She went to court with me and when need addressed the judge on my behalf. Her communication with me was timely and helpful. I was awarded SSDI.

I hired Mrs Alise Kellman after I applied for Social Security benefits and I was denied by the SS Administration. I have a number of health issues that have prevented me from working the last seven years. Alise listened to me and felt she could help me with my case. Alise is a very honest, funny and caring person. And most of all she was very easy to talk to. She was always readily available either by phone or email if I needed something or just had a quick question. That was so important because this is a stressful and lengthy process. Her Legal Assistant, Edward Gorner was so nice and quick to offer any assistance when needed. Alise genuinely cares about the people she represents.

I was turned down by disability and went to Alise Kellman to help me to appeal. From the very first meeting Ms. Kellman was kind, efficient, knowledgeable and smart. She helped me to gather all of the relevant paperwork and documents, kept me informed as to the progress and met with me when necessary. I never felt alone or confused. We recently had the hearing and Ms. Kellman was a terrific advocate for me, strong but appropriate. I would have been lost without her. We got a favorable outcome and I will be forever grateful. Ms. Kellman is a gracious and empathetic person and I highly recommend her as a lawyer!

I went to see Alise about my grandson who is disabled. We applied for SSI but were turned down even though we had many records of his problems. His disability is hard to understand but when Alise met him she said SHE could see what his problem was. She then asked us to have him tested by someone she recommended. We got the results. Alise handled everything else. We went to court and they reversed the decision. She handled it so well. About 3 years later we applied for SSI for my other grandson who had been diagnosed with autism when he was very young. He went to an early intervention school program when he was two and a half. He was in special ed classes throughout his schooling. He graduated. He still had problems but when we got the decision back we were amazed that they said he was fine. THe courts had him go and get testing that lasted less than one hour! We again went to Alise and she advised that we get testing by the same person that tested his brother. We went back into court after many months and he was awarded SSI right away. As before after giving Alise all the background paperwork that we had on David, she handled all the paper work. Alise has helped us so much and I would recommend her highly.

I signed with Alice waaaay back in like 2002 give or take during what were some of the most confusing and darkest hours of my life. Although I believe we had different opinions regarding whether or not I was actually disabled, she made sure things were on an even keel and would counsel me from time to time, " don't blow your case, watch what you are doing," when I would lose focus. I wouldn't have been awarded benefits by myself. She's good people and she really knows what she is doing.
