In 2014 - my vibrant and healthy 32 year-old daughter became ill with Lyme disease... Not aware of the complexity of the SSD process, we filled out her application, applied, and was quickly denied... When I first called Mr. Cervoni, I was put at ease as he asked detailed questions about my daughter's disability and how far along she was in the SSDI process. When he spoke with my daughter, he was so patient and answered all of her questions. We both knew she was in good hands... They guided us through the process, kept us informed, and were sympathetic when we called... Mr. Cervoni and his staff were compassionate, thorough, understanding, patient, and they were always available if you had a question... If you are serious about winning your social security disability, you should contact Derek Cervoni.

I was very worried about finding a lawyer to help me through the SSDI process. With my new neurological condition, I didn't know what to expect. Mr. Cervoni and his staff were very professional, responsive, and understanding. Most of the time when I called, I either got a real person or they called me back quickly when I left a message. They were very clear as to what they wanted me to do and what information to provide. Thanks to Mr. Cervoni and his team, I just got awarded SSDI! I'm not happy to be disabled, but at least I've got the SSDI to help! Thank you Mr Cervoni!

Mr. Cervoni and his firm represented me for a disability insurance claim related to mental illness. He was able to have the ALJ’s unfavorable decision vacated through the Appeals Council which is very difficult to do. Mr. Cervoni and his firm were able to present the documentation to SSA on my behalf so that my case was given a fair and thorough review. I would highly recommend Mr. Cervoni to navigate your claim through an application process that can be frustrating without an experienced advocate.

Derek and his office provided excellent guidance through the process of applying for SSI for my son. His thorough knowledge of what is required to be submitted, enabled us to have a complete package the first time through. He is extremely easy to work with and very responsive to questions, whether by phone or email. I highly recommend him!

Mr. Cervoni was very helpful during this difficult time. Throughout the entire process he was professional and responded to all of my concerns quickly. I respectfully recommend this attorney and his colleagues.

I could not be happier with Mr. Cervoni’s work on my case. I hired him after my denial knowing I needed an expert. He managed the case very well and was always responsive to my questions. Clearly he has expertise and experience that was invaluable to me. The case has been successfully completed. I would be delighted to recommend him to anyone needing help with their claim.

Mr. Cervoni and his law firm helped my mother win her case on the first try! He is very knowledgeable and professional. I always got a response to all my questions in a timely manner from him and his staff. He worked with us from the very beginning and helped us every step of the way. 100% recommend!!!

I was very nervous about the whole SSDI process. But with my neurological condition, it was a necessity. Mr. Cervoni and his team were very professional, understanding, and knew just what to do. They helped me every step of the way, keeping me on track with what I was supposed to do or paperwork to fill out or find. It is due to them that I received my SSDI award this month! It still took about six months… we’re still running on SSA time. But Mr. Cervoni and his team helped me. I never could have done this on my own.

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!

Mr. Cervoni and his associates were caring and held my hand all the way through for the entire process when the other attorneys wouldn't take my case. Thank you!

I can’t say enough about Cervoni Disability Law PLLC. Absolutely wonderful service. 5 Stars from me. The whole process was excellently executed. I provided medical records and they did the rest.

Mr. Cervoni and associates clearly communicated the whole process and procedures. In addition, they keep you updated with any changes. Cervoni Disability law are trustworthy, reliable, dependable, and committed to providing the best possible outcome.

I have the utmost trust and confidence with Cervoni Disability Law and was very pleased with the results that I got and would recommend Cervoni Disability Law to anyone looking to manage their disability case.

Applying for social security disability is a daunting experience both physically and emotionally. When you work all your life and you find yourself in a position where you have to apply for disability it's heartbreaking. Mr. Cervoni was a lifesaver for me. He answered all my questions within hours of asking. He held my hand when it was needed and provided support when I needed it. Do not hesitate contacting him if you need help with this process.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. Cervoni helped us secure SSI for our special needs adult son. He kept constant communication, was quick to follow up and clarify, persistent until the end. Highly recommend.

Approximately eighteen months ago we hired Derek S. Cervoni to handle our Social Security claim! Both my wife and I found him to be professional honest, knowledgeable, sincere and kept any promise he made to us!  All of our expectations, questions and concerns were always met! His representation is the reason our claim was approved! Presentation is everything! I would absolutely recommend Derek Cervoni!

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.

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.

Derek Cervoni is a great lawyer and as others have written, he's patient, empathetic and a pleasure to deal with. My claim was denied twice yet Derek was able to secure for me a hearing before a judge. He patiently walk me through my testimony and made the process as stress free as possible. As a result, I felt comfortable and confident during the hearing. Thanks to Derek's counsel, my claim was approved and I couldn't recommend his work more.

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.

In 2014 – my vibrant and healthy 32 year-old daughter became ill with Lyme disease. What we thought would be a 6-month recovery turned out to be a series of chronic illnesses that left her unable to hold a job and work. Not aware of the complexity of the SSD process, we filled out her application, applied, and was quickly denied. ... When I first called Mr. Cervoni, I was put at ease as he asked detailed questions about my daughter’s disability and how far along she was in the SSDI process. We are forever grateful to Mr. Cervoni and his amazing staff. They guided us through the process, kept us informed, and were sympathetic...

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.

When my wife’s SSDI disability claim was denied we lost all hope but then I hired Mr Derek Cervoni to file an appeal and persue her case with the Social Security Administration. His professionalism, knowledge, experience and the way he presented the case to the Judge was extraordinary. He provided the highest level of service and I am very happy and grateful to him that my wife’s disability benefit was finally approved.

We contacted Mr. Cervoni following the Social Security’s second denial. He took the time to get to know our case and represented us phenomenally at court. Mr. Cervoni made possible what we thought unachievable. He is an outstanding attorney who cares about his clients. Highly recommend him!

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!

I highly recommend Mr. Cervoni as your disability attorney. You will not regret his service. He is an extraordinary attorney and he made every step of the process easier for me. I'm very thankful for his amazing service!

I am a 100% disabled veteran. I hired Mr. Cervoni to assist me with my social security disability insurance claim. Working with him and his entire staff was easy and pleasant. I provided him with my medical history and he interacted with the social security administration on my behalf, which resulted in my SSDI claim being administratively approved without having to take the case to an ALJ. His entire staff was responsive and professional at all times. 5 stars.

I was referred to Mr, Cervoni when filing my claim for disability. I was not disappointed and was so thankful to his staff and him for helping guide me through the process. All of my inquiries were responded to timely, he explained the process to me in terms I could understand and ultimately represented me before my appeal before the judge. He was extremely knowledgeable and treated me with respect during the entire process.

Derek S. Cervoni knew precisely what specific facts and medical tests results to present at my hearing. I highly recommend him.

Derek handled the filing of my application for social security disability benefits.  From our first contact, he explained the process and told me exactly what he needed from me to submit a complete and thorough application. Derek is very professional, courteous and was responsive to all of my questions.  He made the process extremely easy and his services resulted in a quick approval.

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.

Awesome litigator! I thought navigating and applying for SSDI would be similar to that of the VA benefits. It was not. Although 100% P&T, I was denied initial SSDI benefits. I researched Mr. Cervoni’s record and contacted his office. His staff was pleasant and very helpful right out the gate. He accepted my case. I didn’t look back; however, I was amazed at how swift and un-stressful my hearing was. After months of waiting, my case was over in less than 20 minutes. Mr. Cervoni was prepared to the point the SSA expert witnesses had no rebuttals. Would I recommend Mr. Cervoni? Yes, without hesitation. However, I would also recommend you as the client to help yourself out in advance by seeing the doctor(s), start gathering your medical records, and research all disabilities being claimed.

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.

Derek, was a lawyer who was attentive, hardworking, listened, understood, supported and was very responsive. Derek’s ability to decipher and work diligently in the background to win my case is someone I would recommend to family, colleagues and friends. Derek, has the ability to deliver results and I am grateful to him and his team for there hard work and dedication.

When applying for social security disability benefits, there are many hurdles and complications which seem quite substantial, confusing, and overwhelming at first. Acquiring good legal counsel is crucial in successfully navigating this process. Mr. Cervoni is an excellent attorney in this regard. I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for assistance claiming social security disability benefits.

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.

First, allow me to say I have the utmost respect for Mr. Cervoni and his staff. About a year ago I was contemplating on filing for disability after working for a very strenuous, physical, and demanding job for 35 years. I am not one to quit as I tried several work attempts to continue my job after taking time off but my back and lower extremities we're really taking a toll on me which made it hard to function outside of work let alone work 14 hours a day at times. I decided to call Mr. Cervoni's Law Firm just to get a feel of what to do as I knew nothing about this process. Derek politely and calmly give me every answer I needed with no pressure at all, as a matter of fact, I even tried going back to work after giving him the information an indication I was going through with this case, I took his time and he was more than patient with me. I think this is another reason I called him back after my last work attempt. Mr. Cervoni asked me a few questions to get the initial application started and to submit a few forms, then he took over right away. Between Derek and Michael, both always promptly answered my replies or emails with issues that sometimes weren't even relevant enough for the case, but made me feel at ease anyway and extremely professional and courteous. They were very descriptive and detailed of what they needed from me and if I didn't completely understand they would walk me through it with no problem. Filing for disability is extremely difficult and technical and if any mistakes are made, it could prolong or even have your case denied. I believe it is extremely important to have professional help in this matter and Derek Cervoni is that man. I was awarded the first initial application which I heard is rather rare. I was speechless and relieved, to say the least! I would highly suggest using this firm for any type of disability through SSA or disability period! The man knew every question I threw at him with great detail and confidence. I can only imagine him in action at a hearing, even though ours didn't make it that far. I cannot thank him enough for what he and his staff have done for me and my family in such a short time. I was made to feel completely comfortable throughout the process with a lot of compassion expressed from Derek towards the disabled and special needs. Thank you, Derek and Michael! You changed my life for the better!

Derek successfully guided Daniel's SSI claim through the Social Security system in a timely manner.

Through out the whole process, when in doubt Derek always made me feel he is fighting for me. He is a 10 in my book!

Derek Cervoni is a great lawyer and as others have written, he's patient, empathetic and a pleasure to deal with. My claim was denied twice yet Derek was able to secure for me a hearing before a judge. He patiently walk me through my testimony and made the process as stress free as possible. As a result, I felt comfortable and confident during the hearing. Thanks to Derek's counsel, my claim was approved and I couldn't recommend his work more.

I had nothing but a wonderful experience from the moment I contacted Mr. Cervoni’s office. From the initial intake person up to talking to Mr. Cervoni. If I had any questions I sent a e-mail or requested a phone call and I always received a quick response. I had an issue getting some of the requested information and his office was very understanding. Even after my case was closed I had questions and as usual his office answered all of my questions. I will make sure to pass his information along to anyone in need of assistance.

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.

Very understanding and knowledgeable about Social Security disability law. Mr. Cervoni helped me from day one with filing the first application materials and moving it through the Social Security disability system/maze. I would recommend his services if you want to win your case.

Mr Cervoni, and his office staff, provided Exceptional Service! Mr Cervoni was very professional, very knowledgeable and kept me updated thru the entire process and Mr. Cervoni was a true pleasure to work with.

We worked with Derek Cervoni to file a Social Security Disability claim for my husband. He made a complicated process go smoothly and explained all the steps and status of the claim along the way. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly my husband was awarded the benefits, with no rejection.

If I had not reached out to Cervoni Disability Law, I would still be dealing with the SSDI process and likely denied again. Cervoni Disability Law professionally handled my claim and explained every step along the way. They were able to reduce my stress level a million times over. If you are dealing with Social Security, here is the answer for you. Let the professional staff at Cervoni Disability Law take excellent care of you. They treated me like I was a friend not just a client.

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.

Mr. Cervoni is a fantastic man to have on your side. When I became his client, he treated me like I was his only client. Although he was in VA and I live in SC, communication was never a problem whatsoever! I highly recommend Mr. Cervoni as your lawyer, if you want your life changed for the better!

Derek Cervoni has helped me get my Social Security disability award and retroactive payments. He has worked hard and explained the process to me, letting me know what I needed to do on my end regarding medical information. He is very kind and easy to talk to. I cannot express my appreciation enough. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of SS Disability aid. He's the best!

I was referred to Mr, Cervoni when filing my claim for disability. I was not disappointed. All of my inquiries were responded to timely, he explained the process to me in terms I could understand and ultimately represented me before my appeal hearing before the law judge. He was extremely knowledgeable and treated me with respect during the entire process.

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.

Before coming to Mr. Cervoni I had been denied twice, and needed assistance appealing my case before a Judge. I received 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 favorable, thanks to Cervoni Disability Law.

Very pleased. Keeps in contact with you regularly. Very informative with procedures and hearings. Specifically tells you what the judges need from you. Thanks to Mr. Cervoni, I received my disability.

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.

Mr. Cervoni and his staff were very kind from the very first call. They clearly care about each client. They took their time to explain the process and kept us updated the entire time. I can't speak highly enough about him. I would recommend Mr. Cervoni to anyone.
