A+++++ Lawyer

Hired Mr. Berkley and his team to assist with a claim for Disability. From the moment they got involved, things were moving. In the end I got my benefits and can now focus on life.

Got me everything and more

The staff at Berkley Disability is fantastic. When I reached out to the office, I was put in touch with Cliff Berkley, Mr. Berkley's son. He was calming and direct, and told me exactly what to expect along the way. He not only got me on Social Security Disability, but also got me a huge lump sum i...n back benefits. I am so thankful

i need more evidence.

I have very lil medical history thats why i wanted to hire a lawyer. But Berkley said when i build more evidence he can help. I think if i had enough evidence i wouldnt need a lawyer. I am now searchin a new lawyer.

I am sorry you were not satisfied with my response. Please understand the Social Security Laws require proof of Objective Medical Evidence. Likewise we can not invent it. As a result we represent Disabled Individuals that we know we can help win their benefits. It would be a disgrace to the practice to take every case simply because an individual believes they are disabled even though the evidence does not support it. Our practice credo observes practicing the law to the highest standards of morality.

Do not use in San Diego You will only get his son Cliff Berkley not Benjamin

Do not use this firm if you want to win!! My attorney Clifford Berkley did almost nothing to win my case. He spoke for about 2 minutes during my hour long ALJ hearing. He did not submit crucial evidence I sent him which would have helped my case. To top it off, he quit on me when I did not win at the... ALJ level. Instead of actually working to be paid his 6K, he quit. He did little to no work and was just looking to make a fast 6K if I had won my case. He is Benjamin Berkley's son, apparently following in his fathers footsteps even though he has no business being a lawyer. Buyer beware! There are many other social security lawyers in San Diego who will do a better job for you.
