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 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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

After the second denial of my Social Security disability claim (the initial and the redetermination) I thought I would never get approved, but Mr. Cervoni believed in my case and we went for the hearing. He knows the system and told me what to expect during the hearing and he was absolutely right. Mr. Cervoni won my case.

Mr. Cervoni and his staff helped me through my appeal, reconsideration and my hearing. Mr. Cervoni and his staff were excellent they knew exactly what records and documents were needed to present at my hearing. They gathered and compiled all the necessary documents and records for my hearing. Mr. Cervoni always kept me updated on what was going on and was always available and would respond quickly by either phone or email to any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. Mr. Cervoni prepared me for my hearing and knew exactly what evidence to present as well as what questions to ask to both myself and the vocational expert. Due to this Mr. Cervoni and his staff we were able to get a fully favorable decision at my hearing. I am so grateful for both Mr. Cervoni and his staff, especially Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Camper-Barry for all of their help. I cannot thank you enough. If you are looking for professional, dedicated and knowledgeable representation through the SSDI process I would strongly recommend Mr. Cervoni.

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!

Mr. Cervoni and everyone on his staff was wonderful. I am so happy I used this firm. All my questions were answered quickly and my paperwork was submitted in a timely manner. I did not have to go into his office to complete my claim. Do not hesitate to contact his office. The website was very well done also.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Derek ably handled our daughter's SSDI application all the way to a hearing before a judge. Thanks to his experience, expertise and persistence, she received full benefits. It helped to have someone who had experience appearing before this judge.

After my 1st denial, my Mr. Cervoni accepted my case and worked with me very patiently and professionally answering all my emails and calls. Many times he followed up a voice mail with an email. The SSDI process is long and tedious, 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 I had a successful outcome.

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!

Working with Derek was such a pleasure. He took care of everything for me after I was denied SSDI on my initial application. He kept me up to date during the process and responded to my emails and questions in a timely manor. He made this process stress free for me ( Well Almost ) He obviously could not make the process any faster. But it was comforting knowing he had my back. You can't go wrong with Derek Cervoni

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.

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.

Mr. Cervoni was an excellent choice to handle my disability appeal before an administrative law judge. He is a specialist with years of experience in the SSA disability field (he had even previously appeared before the ALJ who caught my case); he adapted quickly to the changes in the appeals process caused by the covid pandemic; he got to know my case by reading the material I had already submitted on my initial application so that I didn't have to explain it to him on the phone; and he always kept me updated on developments and responded promptly to my requests for information...

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.

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.

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.

We were referred to Attorney Cervoni by our family lawyer, following a disabling brain injury suffered by our daughter. After a careful consideration and review of the case by Mr. Cervoni and his competent staff, he agreed to represent our daughter and assist with her disability case. His office did all the legal paperwork and he represented our daughter in meetings and case review with SSA . He is very responsive and helpful, promptly responds to EM and phone messages. He kept us fully informed until resolution of the case. We strongly and warmly recommend Attorney Cervoni and his team, if you would like your disability case to be handled by a group of top-notch legal professionals.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

If you need a great lawyer to represent you in your social security disability claim, you will be very satisfied with Mr. Cervoni’s expertise. He is one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with and I would recommend him to anyone who is going through the same process. Mr. Cervoni is very knowledgeable about how the system works and always responds in a timely manner. He always explained things to the fullest with me to insure that we were both on the same page.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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!

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