When i first met with Alan, like most I was very naive and Ignorant about the process. Still I declined to use him and thought i could get approved myself. But I didn't know what I didn't know, and that was all the intricacies of this entire process. Because of that, 16 months later i came back to Alan Schiffman, humbled and desperate because I hadn't worked in years, and I had just been declined. I remember vividly sitting in his conference room as he explained exactly the entire process, and my chances. When my day before the hearing commissioner arrived, timeframe and process was exactly how Alan predicted.
I can honestly say that immediately after walking out of the hearing Alan looked at me and said, "I have never told a client this right after a hearing but your getting approved." Since then Alan and his office have been more than helpful.
Since then Alan Schiffman has gotten several family and friends approved.
He is honest, ethical, professional and exceptional at what he does. his staff follows his lead.
Thank you Alan.

Through every step of my disability application process everyone I dealt with at this office was kind, professional, and helpful. I have not had a single bad interaction. It's obvious that they are here to help. They explained in details what I could do to help my case, and I know I would absolutely not gotten approved for disability without the help of Mr. Schiffman and all the support staff. They were even patient with me considering it takes time for me to be able to handle my business. I could contact through email instead of calling, which was a godsend. They make the process straightforward, and it super obvious that Mr. Schiffman has the expertise in this field. I am so glad I put my trust in him/them.

This Anna Schiffman attorney is terrible. I had to do all the running around with documentations etc.
I never had a coaching talk, or met her until we were with administrator judge. At the hearing she acted like a prosecutor than a defence attorney.
It took two plus years, of my life dealing with the case. I don't know about the other attorneys, but she is terrible.
It seems she never care about the case. When I explain my ordeal with other people with disability. Most of then would say to me that she probably didn't like you.

Anna Schiffman truly cares about her clients. I hired her for Disability, and after all the hard work along with her helpful team, we won my case. This firm makes sure to see to every single detail so that the judge will know exactly what's going on and needing little explanation. Facts speak for themselves. Thanks for your patience and professionalism as well as kindness and caring during this very long process. I wish I would have hired you in the beginning as I had been denied twice....until I hired you and your team. Schiffman Law Office has the knowledge and experience in order to move this process along as easily as possible. Thank you!

I spoke with Anna Schiffman, Alan's daughter. Anna was extremely nice and very helpful with explaining how the process works and was extremely helpful with making sure all of our documentation was filled out properly. I would highly recommend The Schiffman Law Office for any Social Security and/or injury and disability claims you have.

Oh my God Anna and Courtney have out done themselves once again. They worked on my disability case last year and this year my husband's disability case. They are so Awesome! They got me approved fast and my husband approved fast. It took about 10 months for me and only a few months for my husband. I can not say enough good things about this Firm and Anna and Courtney. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a Top Notch Lawyer to work on your disability case. They really get the job done. Thank you so very much Anna and Courtney!

What a great group the Schiffman law Office has. They had been working on a SSID case for me since 2017. Alan Schiffman was great always kept me up to date on what was needed and when. His Paralegal Leslie Winkler was fantastic i do not think I ever waited more that 30 minutes to ever get a response from her when ever i had a question. I highly recommend their office for any issue you may have. Oh and by the way i did get a favorable decision.

Gave assistant all my information and was told Attorney named Lisa would call back. Followed up twice and was told someone would call me, never received call back. Waited three weeks and just gave up. If I could give less than one star I would. 7/23/2019 Follow Up-Mr Schiffman followed up with me personally to explain extenuating circumstances which I appreciated and agreed to give Lisa a chance. I’m very glad I did. She was very responsive and thorough in her explanations and in assisting me with my case. And her legal assistant, Melissa, is absolutely AMAZING!!! Answers emails quickly, is always available if Lisa is in court and is kind and very understanding of ones challenges in sometime struggling with necessary paperwork and will do her best to accommodate or alter how paperwork is completed to meet your physical needs. All their hard work paid off with a very timely and favorable outcome in my case! So glad I gave them another opportunity to show me what they could do!!

I decided to go to Schiffman Law firm after reading the many positive reviews and all I can say is that I am very glad I did. On my initial appointment, I was very scared as I have never met with an attorney for any matter. I was received on time with a pleasant smile from the moment I arrived. Ms. Anna Schiffman was extremely knowledgeable and was very thorough during my consultation. She could answer any questions I had without ever feeling rushed. I made the decision to have Ms. Anna represent me. During the process, there were a few hiccups with regards to SSA not receiving information or miscommunications with her paralegal, in which I would bring up to her via email or phone. Whatever the situation or whenever I felt the sky was falling Ms. Anna would always response promptly, calmly and remedy the problem. She was definitely someone who has the professionalism and warm heart to truly help. I would highly recommend Ms. Anna for anyone who is in need of a compassionate, thorough and highly competent attorney.

Our experience with Schiffman Law Office was highly positive. From the first visit with our attorney Anna, to our last communication today, we couldn't have asked for better representation. Whether it was a face to face visit, a phone conversation or an email we were treated with respect. Anna and paralegal Leslie were professional, friendly and we always knew they had our best interest at heart. Thank you so much for helping us through my Social Security case. I highly recommend the Schiffman Law Office to anyone seeking honest, professional representation.

Awful law firm worst one I've ever worked with and to top it all off. Even though it's in the contract that you don't pay them UNLESS THEY WIN YOUR CASE, they still tried asking the a request fee for their "time and services" when they did not do literally one thing to help me. They just handed the same exact papers I gave them to the jusge. What help. Geez. Thanks no way I could've done that. THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS AND OTHER LYRICS OUT FOR YOUR MONEY!

I had a very caring, kind and giving attorney. I was in a three year battle with social security and on my third appeal when free legal aid found this law practice for me. Free legal Aid originally had taken my case and became overloaded with their caseload. Nina an attorney at free legal aid understood my case and found Anna Schiffman to jump in and help. I had a very involved case and she put hours into it. I finally won and am getting the help l need.

Lisa Counters is the best attorney I have ever encountered. Lisa helped to successfully resolve the issues with our health insurance company, enabling my husband to receive the medical care he so desperately needed for sleep apnea & obtain payment and reimbursement. Thanks to Lisa's help, my husband is enjoying a much healthier & happier quality of life. Lisa is a brilliant strategist, highly knowledgeable, extremely hard-working, and most importantly of all, Lisa cares deeply about people and helping them to resolve their legal issues successfully.

As a young Disabled Combat Veteran you get turned away many times. Anna Schiffman and her team went above and beyond to always keep me inform and look past my disabilities and age. They took me as their client and within months I was approved and found fully favorable. Their dedication to their client is astonishing. Anna was always keeping me inform and a call away. It is very unlikely to have a lawyer be that engaged with their client but she goes above and beyond. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for me. We never set foot in a court room either. I provided everything they ask for and they kept sending it forward. She is a great attorney who truly cares for their client.

We Won A Big Case Thanks To Javier Puig!
My son was gravely stricken from an injury he received at work. He was fighting for his life, and he had to undergo five operations within the first week of his hospitalization. I was by my son's side the entire time. Both night and day I was my son's patient advocate and the family representative, and let me tell you that it was the worst experience of my life watching my son suffer and not knowing if he would live or die. I now continually pray for all of the people and their families who have to experience such emotional and physical trauma. Needless to say, my son was in no condition to deal with any of the medical paperwork, insurance and associated legal matters. He was so hurt and so sick and he had such a bad infection. It was terrible. The entire family was so stressed and so tired out. We were all suffering from sleep deprivation.
To make matters worse, my son's employer abandoned him by claiming the accident didn't happen at work. Nobody will ever know how much that abandonment hurt my son. My son had faithfully worked for this very same giant transnational corporation for 10 years ever since he was 18 years old. It was like getting a knife in my son's back! And we badly needed help to make things right!
It's not easy to find good help. I don't care if you're looking for a good mechanic, hairdresser, dentist, roofer, plumber or whoever... it's just so damn hard to find somebody who is trustworthy and who does a good job. Attorneys are no different. One of the most relevant and important reasons why we chose Javier Puig is because he used to work in behalf of the insurance companies. So he knows what goes on inside of the corporate beast. I must tell you that it is a very big advantage to have somebody on your side who used to work hard for the opposing side and who knows the tactics of your legal opponent(s). And Javier Puig's years of experience is what you're going to need in order to get a legal decision in your favor. But there's something more important than Javier's Puig's experience that sets him apart from the rest. It's his willingness to go to trial against corporate giants. That is what he did for my son. He went to trial. He's a trial attorney and not just somebody who'll talk and talk and try to settle a case outside of court. Mr. Puig isn't all talk and no action --- like many of the so called "attorneys at law". I was there, too, in court, the entire time. I testified. And I can tell you that Javier Puig was outstanding as both our legal counsel and representative. He handled our case beautifully. And this trial wasn't my first rodeo. I've had my own previous experience with corporate lawsuits --- big cases--- one of which went all the way up to a state supreme court. So I know a thing or two about a really good, articulate attorney when I see one in action. And the bottom line is Mr. Puig exceeded my expectations in every way. He undid the mess we made of the insurance paperwork and all of the incompetent mistakes my son made in the reporting process. Mr. Puig adroitly pleaded and advocated in a most effective manner what might have otherwise been an unwinnable case. Because of some of the honest but serious mistakes my family and I made we could have lost the case, but, instead, we WON our case in front of a judge. Not only did we win, but we won BIG. We got the best possible outcome --- including over a quarter of a million dollars of medical bills covered. And I can attribute all of the aforementioned to Mr. Puig's exceptional ability to articulate a legal case before a judge......
To anybody who is reading this because you or a loved one has suffered an accident: God's speed and may God be with you in your time of trouble. And please, for your own piece of mind, don't hesitate or wait another minute to find legal help. These insurance companies are ruthless, so find yourself a good attorney because you are going to need one. And if you're really lucky, you'll find a fighter like Mr. Puig.

Guy Phillips

So I had an appointment with Alan Schiffman today. figured I'd write a review for future seekers of disability lawyers in the area. I have to say I was more than pleased with the attention to detail and the knowledge pertaining to the disability system. Even informed me of a type of claim that I might qualify for because of when my injury was sustained. He went over everything and always asked if I was understanding, more than willing to explain further. He made me feel comfortable when I usually have anxiety issues in doctors and lawyers offices.
He's the kind of guy where he's not gonna try to just take your money. He going to try and find a way for you to get the benefits you deserve without his help. But when it comes to the point of necessity, he'll exhaust all options before he'll quit fighting for you. Ive had a couple bad experiences with Disability Lawyers where they just overlooked my claim completely and refused to help. Even had appointments canceled. Heck, when I came here, I was 30 mins early and he got to me within 10 mins pretty much. That might not always be possible, but when it is, he'll do it.
If you need the help, you at least owe it to yourself to have a sit down with him or his partners and see if need his services.

My wife needed help getting her S.S.D.I. approved. She was at her appeal stage where she needed to appear before a trial Judge. We picked Mr. Schiffman out of the blue, and we are sure lucky that we did. Mr. Schiffman took the time to listen to my wife regarding her medical, emotional and psychological issues regarding being forced to stop work at a job that she dearly loved performing. Mr. Schiffman agreed to take on her case. He walked us through the entire procedure including what information he would need. He also took time to prepare her for what might occur when she would testify before the Judge. Mr. Schiffman helped her every step of the way and never did he stop being her advocate. Mr. Schiffman was successful in getting my wife awarded her S.S.D.I.. Mr. Schiffman then took on the Long Term Disability Insurance provider who also had denied my wife. Mr. Schiffman was again successful in getting my wife awarded her L.T.D. benefit. He remains today our lawyer and whenever we have a need, he has been available to us at all hours of the day. He has even answered e-mail questions at 9:00 at night. Mr. Schiffman is the best !!!

I contacted the Schiffman Puig Law firm for assistance with a SS Disability claim. During my meeting with Mr. Alan Schiffman, he was able to straighten out the status of my claim with SS. In doing so he was able to make a reasonable determination that the reconsideration request with SS already submitted had been approved. Furthermore, Mr. Schiffman believed it unethical and wrong to officially represent me and take a fee since the reconsideration request had already been approved. His honesty and objectivity are hard to find. The firms expertise and knowledge alleviated a substantial amount of stress and I would not hesitate to use or recommend their counsel.
