Highly recommend

I can't imagine having a better experience than I have had with Raymond. As someone in my early 20s with various mental health disorders, I was turned away by multiple attorneys saying that I had no chance. Raymond was willing to take my calls and answer my general questions early on, before I was ev...en a client, and made the process of going through my disability claim so seamless. I was granted benefits, and he has remained a wonderful resource even after the fact. I'm incredibly thankful for all of his help, time, and hard work and can't recommend him enough.

The best Social Security Attorney out there...

Raymond Ugarte is without question the most professional and compassionate SSDI attorney. My wife interviewed six attorneys and we where initially impressed with both his knowledge of the disability law and his genuine interest to help us through a long and difficult case. He never wavered through th...e process. He remained focused, patient, and always receptive. I can't emphasize the value of his effort and never once did I doubt his ability to win my case. Two things are certain when applying for SSDI...you cannot do it alone and you need Raymond Ugarte by your side...

Excellent lawyer!!

Raymond was wonderful from the first time we met. He was thorough, explained the process very clearly and answered all our questions. He called us every two weeks with updates for over 1 1/2 years. Impressive personal customer service. Nicest guy, he really cared about helping us. Even the people wor...king in the courts praised him and how hard working he was for his clients. We highly recommend Raymond to anyone who needs a social security lawyer. We were lucky to have him on our side!! Forever grateful

He really knows his business!

Mr. Ugarte is a wonderful attorney who knows his business. As a sufferer of Agoraphobia, getting out of my house is torture. He worked with me on my disability case with as little time away from my home as possible. He was very thorough in his explanations of each and every step in the process and ma...de sure I understood what would happen. He made trusting him very easy.

Raymond Ugarte

Raymond Ugarte was very helpful. I tried to apply for SSI and found the whole application complicated, and very difficult to follow. He turned the whole process into a very simple process.
