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.

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 is a top notch attorney. He is professional and courteous from beginning to end. He responds immediately to emails and phone calls. Mr. Cervoni and his staff worked on my case diligently and we met all deadlines. Mr. Cervoni's staff is also very professional and kind. Mr. Cervoni and his staff showed genuine empathy for my conditions and they patiently assist me throughout the entire process. I could not even imagine a better experience and outcome. Again, I thank you kindly!

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!

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. And very pleased we did.  Thanks, Cervoni Disability Law, and thanks to Brain Injury Services of Northern Virginia.

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!

Retaining Cervoni Disability Law, PLLC was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Mr. Cervoni and his staff were diligent, responsive and very attentive to me in this entire process from the start to finish! If you or a loved one has suffered a medical injury or accident that causes one not able to perform their line of work as they were able to do before the injury or accident, you need an advocate that will go to bat for you!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr Cervoni Explained to me from the start what we where up against and the things we needed to gather as far as medical documents to win this case. He stayed in touch thru out the process and was always in contact. Great Job on my Case Derek. I would highly recommend if you need a Disability Attorney.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. Cervoni represented me in a Social Security Disability case. He was extremely professional and listened to my case. At the hearing he was fully prepared and presented my case. He was honest and I would definitely recommend him to others and use him for future needs.

We retained Derek Cervoni to represent me in my claim for Social Security Disability Income benefits. We were very pleased with his service. He is very knowledgeable about the SSA disability system, and uses this to his client's advantage taking care of virtually all the aspects of this difficult process. While he basically took over the process, he kept us informed every step of the way with clear and timely communication. We would absolutely recommend Derek Cervoni to anyone seeking assistance with their Social Security Disability claim.

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!

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.

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 had to stop working because of cardiac and pulmonary problems. I contacted Mr. Derek Cervoni about filing for disability. He explained the process and the needed documentation to me in thorough detail. He filed the application for me which was quickly approved. Mr. Cervoni was very thorough and experienced in handling my claim process. I was fortunate to have Mr. Derek Cervoni help me with my claim and highly recommend Mr. Derek Cervoni to anyone who is looking for the best experienced disability lawyer to help them with their 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.

Mr. Cervoni was excellent; I can't imagine having a better representative for my issue, and am enormously grateful for having found him. I would most definitely recommend him to others.

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 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.

Working with the Cervoni Disability Law PLLC was one of the best decisions of my life. Mr. Cervoni and his staff to include Michael were responsive to all my phone calls and Emails. They guided me through the process from my initial application to my appeal with an ALJ where I was approved. Their dedication and commitment to my case is why I received a favorable decision. If you need an exceptional disability attorney with a great reputation, I highly recommend Cervoni Disability Law PLLC.

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.

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.

He completely took the reigns and helped me keep my dignity through this very emotionally charged transition. No one wants to be disabled or feel useless and he pushed me when I was giving up as I have been so depressed about my limitations. Thank you for pushing me through a humiliating process!

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 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.

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.

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.

Mr. Cervoni represented me on my Social Security claim. He is Very professional and dedicated. He went above and beyond my expectations. Mr. Cervoni did a great job, always keeping me informed of any updates and prepared me before we had to go to court. When other lawyers wouldn’t take my case, he did. Excellent Lawyer.

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!

I hired Derek to help with my daughter's case. She was denied twice before I found Derek and he did everything and won her case for us. Highly recommend Derek. He was always fast at returning my phone calls and emails. Very professional.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Could not have asked for a more professional and compassionate law firm than Derek Cervoni Disability Law. He walked us through the very complicated SSA disability claim process and ensured that our case was properly documented and met all the SSA requirements. His responsiveness was remarkable, he kept us informed throughout the process and personally called to make sure we knew what to expect from not only the SSA interviews but also the numerous medical assessments. He also understood the extreme stress of the situation and showed us terrific compassion and empathy during the difficult time.
Were it not for Derek and his firm I am sure we would not have been able to navigate the complicated process successfully, certainly not as expeditiously as it was where we were approved without needing numerous back and forths with the SSA.

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.

Thank you very much for your diligence, Derek.

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.

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.

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.

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. He communicated with both SSA and us regarding additional documentation needed, and meetings to attend, until our application was finally approved. He made the entire process smooth and easy. We are very happy with his service and expertise. We would highly recommend him and his staff.

I highly recommend Derek Cervoni, who represented me in filing a Social Security Disability (SSD) claim.

He was very approachable, and he was extremely helpful in filing my claim. He filled out all of the SSD forms for me, and he continually kept me up-to-date on the status of my case. I am very grateful that he was able to represent me in my SSD claim.

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!!!

I will make sure to pass his information along to anyone in need of assistance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not enough words to explain how blessed I am to have found this firm and what they have done to turn my life around for the better! The expertise the professionalism the downright respect and concern for you these people are doing what they do because they genuinely care! Thank you CDL for giving me my life back by winning my disability case!Bless you and yours Mr Cervoni!

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.

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.

My attorney was always on top of my case. He was in constant contact throughout the process guiding me to get something for him or letting me know the next step in the process. If it wasn't for him by my side I would of had no guidance and I would have been all alone in this.

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!

This law office is the best I have ever dealt with Derek Cervoni is kind direct and efficient. Emails are answered literally in minutes from him and his staff. His staff is amazing hard working always able to answer questions. My case thanks to this firm was won. Since his practices only social security disability all their attention is focused on that goal. Would absolutely highly recommend

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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, 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.

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.

Mr. Cervoni did a great job helping me with my social security disability claim. He was very responsive to every email I sent and every phone call I made. He helped me prepare for my hearing and gave me honest expectations. My case was challenging because of the type of disability I have but with Mr. Cervoni's help we won!

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.

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 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 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.

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 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...

We consulted Mr. Cervoni after our SSI claim was denied, and we were not successful with our appeal. Mr Cervoni helped us understand the benefits application process, and guided us through a successful SSA Hearing date, where we were successful in getting a disability ruling from the court. Derek Cervoni is highly knowledgeable and experienced in SSA claims, and extremely Professional. Mr Cervoni is highly recommended for the great service he has provided our family.

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.

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.

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.

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

He is a very caring lawyer. Because of my cognitive disability, his office was very patient and kind with me. I am very grateful for his service.
