Cervoni Disability Law

I have spent my career being involved in government regulations or working on statutory language. This area of law is complex. We were completely lost until we retained Cervoni Disability Law. Thorough. Competent. In short, they provided excellent representation. We were very pleased with their service and, more importantly, the outcome.

Won Hearing after two Denials

Disability claims are a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. The process is long and tedious. Please don't apply for benefits without counsel. Mr. Cervoni is patient, empathetic, responsive, and persistent. His familiarity with local Administrative Law Judges was especially helpful.

Excellent SSDI Attorney

I contacted Derek for help filing for SSDI benefits and on our first phone call he walked me through the process, explained everything, and answered my (many) questions. Derek is exceptionally knowledgeable regarding Social Security law and the benefits application process. He is thorough, always available, regularly kept me updated on my claim status, and made me feel very comfortable knowing he was handling everything. I cannot recommend Derek enough and will continue to refer friends to his practice.

Working with Derek was such a pleasure. He took care of everything for me after I was denied SSDI on my initial application.

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.

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.

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.

Because of my rare medical condition I had no hope of winning my case. I could not even get a proper diagnosis from a physician. But Mr. Cervoni did not give up and continued to help me. He was always easily accessible and kept me informed of the entire process. Because of his knowledge, guidance, tireless effort and encouragement I hung on and within a short period of time I won my case. Mr. Cervoni is not only an expert in his field he is a compassionate person who truly cares about his clients and their families. I am thrilled with the results and so glad and grateful I found him because without him I would not have pursued or won my case. If you need an attorney I would not look any further, he is your man, a top notch well respected attorney who genuinely cares. I would not go anywhere else. Thank you again for helping me and giving me hope when I did not have any.

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.

The best choice I could’ve made!

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.

What a long and tedious process. After my 1st denial, my Mr. Cervoni accepted my case and worked with me very patiently and professionally answering all my emails and calls. I would suggest you contact him prior to submitting your initial application. Thank you Mr. Cervoni for always hearing me out when I needed to vent and for making sure all my questions were always answered.

I STILL Cannot Recommend Mr. Cervoni Enough

First, if Mr. Cervoni takes your case, he believes you have a valid Social Security Disability Benefits claim. Second and most importantly, you can count on him to exceed your expectations. Mr. Cervoni is a no-nonsense, meticulous, and thorough disability attorney. He is an expert in navigating disability claims, and I couldn't be more thankful to have him represent my case. Mr. Cervoni has put an exceptional amount of time, effort, and energy into my case. While I do not know my next decision from SSA, even if it's (unfairly) unfavorable, I STILL cannot recommend Mr. Cervoni enough.

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.

Great Attorney for SSI Disability

I want to thank Mr.Cevoni for helping me through the SSI filing process. Mr. Cevoni was always there when I had a question or a concern about my case from star to finish. I was never left in the dark with the process.  He kept me updated on what was going on with my case and what I needed to do as it was going forward.  I will recommend Mr. Cervoni to any of my friends and family members that might need SSI disability.

My case turned out favorably, thanks to Cervoni Disability Law

Before coming to Mr. Cervoni I had been denied twice, and needed assistance appealing my case before a Judge. I recieved a call back from a friendly receptionist within a short while after submitting my online inquiry. After explaining my situation, I received a callback that same day from Mr. Cervoni to further discuss my case! From the beginning, he treated me as a person, with dignity. He explained everything, and always answered my questions same day with a email or phone call. My case turned out favorably, thanks to Cervoni Disability Law.

Ultimately awarded benefits after Mr. Cervoni had the ALJ’s unfavorable decision vacated

I met with several attorneys after my SSDI claim was denied twice by SSA. I ultimately chose CDL to represent my disability claim related to mental illness. This type of claim can be difficult to prove since the disorder does not have the clear biological markers of a physical disability. Mr. Cervoni's firm handled the paperwork with SSA on my behalf and accompanied me to the review hearing. We were ultimately awarded benefits after Mr. Cervoni had the ALJ's unfavorable decision vacated by the Appeals Council. His firm is familar with the nuances of the application process and can navigate through the appeals process to give your claim the best chance for a successful outcome.

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.

Highly Recommend

I hired Derek's firm to help me through a disability claim. I don't have a lot of experiences with lawyers and Derek was recommended to me by a friend. His firm made the process easy for me, handling much of the heavy lifting. When my court hearing came, arguably the most stressful and daunting portion of the process, Derek walked me though my testimony, making me feel comfortable to tell my story. Things went well and my claim was ultimately successful, thanks to Derek's advocacy on my behalf. I highly recommend his services. Plus, he's a nice guy.

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.

What a Life Saver and the Very Best Disability Attorney in the DMV!

As someone who was indigent and homeless at this time one year ago and with several co-occurring medical conditions, I was experiencing multiple challenges around this time last year. Several law practices were not able to take on new cases given the size of their caseloads or their preference for taking a case only on appeal. However, with the Cervoni law practice, he was able and willing to take my case from the time of the initial filing without all of the prerequisites being demanded from other law practices. My case was favorably decided in less than four months. ... Finally, Derek's familiarity with the local DDS and their local SSA offices made for an even smoother process which I would have never been able to navigate by myself. I consequently recommend Mr. Cervoni as the best disability attorney whom one can work with on any given appropriate and suitable disability claim.

We got approved the FIRST TIME!

Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Cancer and very soon after, was unable to work anymore. I was referred by a relative to Mr. Derek S. Cervoni who I couldn't say enough good things about. I contacted him via email and he responded right away. I must say, this is one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had when dealing with anyone. He carefully guided us all the way, made sure all forms were correct, followed up with me on every question I had immediately. We got approved the FIRST TIME! for disability benefits and got me back pay from the day I was not able to work anymore. Other friend attorneys of mine say "this is not normal, he must be good at what he does," I can't agree more! Thank you so much for all you have done!

Great Law Firm

Derek Cervoni assisted my wife and I with our claim for Social Security disability benefits after a brain aneurysm. Derek was one of 3 lawyers referred to us by Brain Injury Services, and after researching our options, we opted for Cervoni Disability Law practice.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Mr. Cervoni was able to help me navigate the extremely complicated process of my SSD claim. He took control and made a very frustrating situation easy. After being rejected (twice) by SS, he was able to help convince the judge to approve my claim. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cervoni Disability Law!
