We Have Assisted Hundreds of Clients With Mental and Physical Disabilities

Amazing Victory in my 2 year long disability case!

I had applied for disability between 2016-2017 when I had to stop working after numerous health issues and diagnosis: fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, GI issues, chronic anxiety... These issues caused very debilitating years for me but between 2018-2019 I was successful while working with Mr. Cervoni. I was denied on my own twice, so do not wait to hire a disability lawyer.  I would recommend Mr. Cervoni to anyone that needs him.

A Disability Lawyer that Actually Cares

Being a relatively younger individual diagnosed with multiple rheumatic diseases, it was hard trying to find a lawyer to take me seriously or even take my case. One of the lawyers I encountered prior to Mr. Cervoni referred me to him. I’m very grateful she did! Derek is an awesome communicator and tries to understand all the issues I was experiencing. After losing my initial appeal, I was very discouraged and didn’t think I would get awarded with SSD. THANK YOU MR. CERVONI AND ASSOCIATES!!!

Knowledgeable and Responsive

Attorney Cervoni helped us file a disability claim for our disabled son and guided us effectively every step of the way. There is a lot of paperwork involved but he helped us sort through all the documents and navigate smoothly through this system, which was totally unfamiliar to us. He also anticipated every step and kept us informed on what would happen next. Aside from being knowledgeable about all the ins and outs, Attorney Cervoni was very responsive to our needs. We highly recommend him.

Great advocate for navigating the system

Dealing with a severely disabling chronic illness can be treacherous on many fronts. Aside from the daily pain of living with disease, having SSA dismiss your case only adds insult to injury. Mr. Cervoni took on our case when another disability lawyer wouldn't due to the complicated nature of the disease. Not only was he there every step of the way during the multiple appeals processes, he was quick to answer any and all questions in a timely manner and guided us through the disability hearing process.

Will Work Hard for You

When you leave it in his hands you can truly focus on what matters, your health.  I was a federal employee that found myself no longer able to work due to having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which was complicated by injuries from an auto accident. ...he's used to working with people that are so ill that making or answering calls is extremely difficult. From our first conversation, I felt very well taken care of and understood.

After using another company to file for my social security disability and being denied benefits several times, I finally smartened up after almost four years and hired Mr.Cervoni. Let me tell you...it was a decision I should’ve made years ago had I been better informed. Mr. Cervoni agreed to take on my case despite my complex medical history and from the beginning, was always very compassionate, well-informed, and responsive.

Awesome Lawyer

My wife and I have worked for years (with an advocate) to get disability benefits. Her doctors have diagnosed her with Parkinson's, Dementia and much more. Our advocate failed miserably and even embarrassed us in front of the judge. Derek was our last hope. He was kind, conscientious, attentive and thorough. He took our calls and clearly explained the processes and procedures. What we couldn't accomplish in years Derek accomplished in months. My wife's disability claim was approved due to the efforts of Derek Cervoni. We are so grateful!

If you are a Veteran with a disability case, Mr.Cervoni make things easy. He knows how to navigate the VA portals to get all the information needed to contact and deal with all your doctors, making the process easy and seamless, and get the best results.

Wholeheartedly recommend

Derek Cervoni represented my son in his disability application with SSA. His thoroughness, competence, timeliness, and courtesy went beyond my expectations and he was successful in getting my son approved for disability in 4 months. He responded quickly, usually the same day, to any questions I had. He made the normally difficult process of applying for disability very easy for my son.

Derek Turned a Very Difficult Task (for me) Into a Very Stress-Free Experience.

Derek is Awesome! I have applied for mental health disability on my own the 1st time and was denied. The whole process was overwhelming to me, so I did not appeal it. I then ran across a YouTube video of Derek S. Cervoni… I was sold. After watching his video, I was actually relieved, I had found my attorney. I contacted him the very next day and the process of filing for disability began again only this time I felt good about it.

Choosing an attorney is difficult. Mr. Cervoni was recommended to me by another attorney. After consulting with Mr. Cervoni, I felt he was professional and the right person for my disability case. He was clear on what he needed from me. After I provided him the information and documentation, it was a matter of a couple of days and he had the appeal submitted to Social Security. He explained what to expect and how long it may take. He is polite and professional and truly deserves 5 stars of excellence.

I recommend

I am so grateful to Mr. Cervoni for helping to get my application for SSDI approved on initial application. I provided medical records and he did the rest. Honestly. I was a bit nervous through the process because I could not see the application. When SSA asked for more information (a standard form), his staff spent a couple of hours on the phone with me and completed the long form. When you are sick, it's really hard to figure out new systems and forms. Mr. Cervoni made it easy.

Great Lawyer for SSDI

Mr. Cervoni handled my case for the long haul. I have PTSD so often wrote emails that were emotionally charged. Also it took almost 2 years for my case to settle and I often complained. Mr. Cervoni was always professional no matter what I said. He answered my emails the next day. He gathered my medical records when I could not. I have very high praise for how he handled my case.

Derek is an amazing lawyer who handled our SSI case. He began the process with explaining how the application is submitted and the documentation needed.

We are very happy with his service and expertise. We would highly recommend him and his staff.

Was extremely good at updates and answered questions with very quickly. It can be difficult to get through government claims that make it almost impossible to get through. The government wants you to quit. Mr. Cervoni explained to me everything going on and helped get through the process which takes... a long time sometimes. He was patient and informative.

Awesome Lawyer

Mr. Cervoni helped my wife, who was suffering from a permanent brain injury, get approved on her first go around. A lot of people get denied their first time. Mr. Cervoni is well versed with social security methods, rules and regulations and was always contacting the necessary parties by phone vs email or snail mail. He kept us abreast of the case status throughout the whole process and made us feel confident that the case was proceeding as expected and not lost between the cracks.  I would recommend Mr. Cervoni to anyone who has a legitimate claim.

Great experience!

I've learned 2 things as the parent of a special needs child. 1) There are a lot of brick walls to be knocked down. 2) When someone else already knows how to knock them down, ask them for help! Such was the case with our SSI application and Derek Cervoni. He walked us through how the process would work, he did the legwork, and he kept us informed throughout the process. Derek knows the application process inside and out and made sure everything was in order to make the process as smooth as it could be.

Mr. Cervoni thank you because I was going to give up

I had applied for disability between 2016-2017 when I had to stop working after numerous health issues and diagnosis: fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, GI issues, chronic anxiety... These issues caused very debilitating years for me but between 2018-2019 was the most success while working with Mr. Cervoni. I was denied on my own twice, so do not wait to hire a disability lawyer and I would recommend Mr. Cervoni to anyone that needs him.

When you are not able to help yourself …..

You are successful, smart, intelligent, energetic, purposeful, and life is great until one day, you can no longer function in the way you once were able to. You can’t fake it anymore-people notice that something is not quite right with you and avoid you. You keep working until you almost become a detriment to yourself or others. Then you know you need someone to help you. Don’t do it alone. Attorney Cervoni applied for my disability and I was approved quickly. I could not have done it without him. He communicates clearly and helps you so much. Attorney Cervoni is to be trusted.
