Relentless Advocate Who Truly Cares…read more When my wife could no longer work due to permanent health issues, the Social Security Disability process was overwhelming. Finding Priscilla Salazar was the best decision we made. She explained everything clearly, handled the paperwork correctly, and kept us informed through years of delays and repeated denials. Even when SSD sent my wife to their own doctors who denied the obvious, Priscilla never gave up. She pushed the case all the way to a live hearing with a judge--and won. We are forever grateful to Priscilla Salazar at Driscoll Salazar Disability Group.

We keep calling them weekly for updates and they keep giving us an excuse or saying they are still reviewing our case and having it put together. How long does it take to review a couple of papers . atleast give us a timeline i know the courts are saturated due to whats going on right now, but we started this since november of last year!!

After filing for SSDI myself a couple years back and got denied (big suprise), I started…read moreresearching disability lawyers. After calling several, I found being a Kaiser member was frowned upon, so much that no one wanted to take my case! I did some more research and I found Berkley Disability and decided to give them a call. I had a consultation with Cliff who made me feel very comfortable and confident in my case! He wasn't scared away by my Kaiser health insurance (for medical records). I had a great feeling after getting off the phone from my consultation, so I decided to hire them! Cliff and staff did an excellent job representing me, they communicated effectively and proactively with me. Filed all paperwork, were accountable to deadlines, easy to get ahold of if I had any questions. Lo and behold, I got my favorable decision! Wouldn't have been able to without their help, professionalism, confidence and their drive in going to bat for me. I've actually recommended them already to those who mention being in the same position with social security. This review is long overdue! Thank you Berkley Disability!

I chose Berkley Disability based on previous Yelp reviews, but over the course of a year and a…read morehalf, had a series of genuinely frustrating experiences leading me to realize that what was being advertised was not the quality of service that I was receiving. Over the course of the time that I was contracted with them, I called with specific questions on several occasions, and with one exception, was NEVER called back. The one time that Mr. Berkley did return my call, he was remarkably rude, dismissive and frankly rather condescending. Shockingly unprofessional. After my case was denied by Social Security, Berkley Disability didn't even bother to inform me: The SSA did, and I had to initiate contact with Berkley Disability just to get the appeals paperwork sent to me. At no point did anybody ever reach out. At no point did anybody discuss any strategy or considerations regarding how to approach my appeal. That is until I decided that I needed to cut ties and find somebody who will advocate for me and my case. I left a message saying that I was unhappy with my representation. This time, I received a call back within minutes. I was told that Mr. Berkley wanted to discuss my poor experience. They were pushy, and so I acquiesced. He was again, rude and quite prickly. He blamed his staff for the lack of quality service, and offered to handle my case personally. I said I was done, but thank you. At that point, he said that he intended to file a fee petition against my settlement, should a ruling be decided in my favor. I was surprised and asked for an accounting of the time they had spent on my case to date and received a list that was grossly padded. They even included the last call with Mr. Berkeley that *they* initiated. They charged for 45 minutes. The actual call length - approximately 20 minutes. Berkley Disability's communication and follow-through is bad and my experience with Mr. Berkley was that he was rude and unprofessional. If you want a company that is proactive and responsive to your needs, I suggest that you look elsewhere.

If you're reading this because you're overwhelmed by the SSDI process, I was in your exact position…read more-- confused, denied twice, and honestly exhausted. Hiring Dr. Amir Niazmand at California Disability Advocates was the turning point that changed everything for me. From day one, he immediately identified why my original SSDI application failed and what had gone wrong during the earlier stages. His ability to break down the issues clearly -- and without judgment -- gave me more clarity in a single conversation than I had gotten in months of dealing with SSA on my own. What stood out most was his communication and organization. He handled every single SSA message promptly, guided me through each step, and prepared me thoroughly: * A month before the hearing (strategy and evidence review) * A week before (fine-tuning my testimony and expectations) * The day before (last-minute confidence check-in) He never rushed me and answered every question with patience and expertise. Just a couple of days before my ALJ hearing, I received the result from a new MRI assessment that supported my disability. Dr. Amir submitted it immediately, and the judge actually reviewed it before our hearing -- something that could easily have been missed without an advocate who stays on top of everything. I was also surprised by how quickly things moved. I hired him in June and received a court date in November -- much sooner than I expected. And when the day arrived, my ALJ hearing lasted less than 20 minutes, even though these hearings typically run 45 minutes to an hour. The judge had no further questions beyond what Dr. Amir had prepared me for, which speaks to how strong and organized my case presentation was. I walked in nervous and a bit overwhelmed, but I walked out feeling understood and represented. For anyone wondering about the cost: yes, SSDI representatives typically receive 25% of your backpay, capped by federal law (currently around $7,200). This is a standard, one-time fee that is only deducted after you win your case -- meaning if you're not approved, they don't get paid. In my experience, the level of preparation, communication, and the successful outcome I received made this more than worth it! If you're struggling with the SSDI process, don't wait months or years trying to decode the system alone. Dr. Amir Niazmand's expertise, preparation, and communication made an overwhelming process manageable -- and ultimately successful! I received word yesterday that I was fully approved. I can't recommend him highly enough.

My initial hearing was an absolute disaster and I was extremely upset as I had previous written. Mr. Latours office filed an appeal and I did not expect anything different to give me any kind of hope. My appeal was only today so there is no decision and I have no idea if I will get it or not. However, this time I was represented by a wonderful attorney named Mr. Mike Tunnel who really took the time to look at my case, understood exactly what my limitations were when it came to the workforce and he did an excellent job of explaining this to the court. He consulted with me beforehand to make sure I would be okay and that extra step made a lot of difference in the confidence that I felt explaining myself as well in regards to my limitations to the ALJ. And regardless of the decision I at least feel that I had a fair hearing and all the relevant facts were heard in order to allow the ALJ to have the correct information to make a decision that she feels is appropriate. So, thank you again Mr. Tunnel and also to Bill La Tour's office for working to remedy this previous situation.
