Marc Vahan Kalagian

11 years ago, I was unfortunate enough to be in need of a disability attorney. After a number of years my attorney retired and much to my good fortune he referred me to Marc. After the first few minutes of our conversation, I believe I said, " I wish I had known about you from day 1." Marc ...is a brilliant attorney and an exceptional human. He knows the law and is able to access information quickly to find inconsistencies in testimonies of expert witnesses and mistakes in a Judge's decision. He's incredibly patient with a most frustrated client - me. And he's compassionate and caring when hopelessness and fear consumes what's left of one's psyche. Marc is proactive when things are moving slowly and is equally reactive when he receives a response that's less than desirable. He goes above and beyond and is always straight - he tells it like it is; good or bad and offers the best options so you can make intelligent decisions. Marc responds to calls and emails quickly even if they're full of complaints. He's compassionate enough to understand his clients are in pain and may be financially drowning like I was. I can't say enough about this wonderful man. I will never forget his kindness, his generosity, and his brilliant annalytical mind when it comes to this very tricky type of law. If you are in need of a great Social Security & Disability attorney who will do everything he can to get you what you're entitled to - there is no one better than Marc.

Marc was fantastic from the first visit in 2018 until now. The initial consultation quelled all my fears, after all, I only got a lawyer after SS rejected my claim. Marc and his staff took great care of me, kept me updated throughout the process and was magnificent on court day. I believe if Marc Kal...agian thinks he can help you, you are hiring the best.

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.
