I also note how welcoming his office staff would be when I visited the office in San Jose in person or when I had email inquiries. My SSDI disability lasted just a couple of years because later an effective medication was found for my condition and I was able to return to full-time employment. However, in 2022, as a result of COVID, I developed a rare neurological disease and currently am struggling. I know that if my condition worsens to the point that I won't be able to keep up any longer, I will reach out to Terry again about filing for SSDI. *** There is something else I would like to share. In 2001-2003 I worked as a freelancer in the capacity of a registered court interpreter through translation agencies, appearing at hearings before Administrative Law Judge in the federal building in San Jose. I appeared at SSDI hearings and witnessed several disability attorneys but most frequently Terry LaPorte. I was impressed by his consummate professionalism and saw first hand how respectful all the administrative judges were when they interacted with Terry. They clearly valued his expertise and judgment. Based on my positive impressions, I reached out to none other than Terry when, many years later, I myself needed representation. I applied for benefits in December 2017 and received them in January 2018, without ever being denied.

Phone Consult with Kelsey Anderson-Kline, today August 18th, 2026…read more The whole conversation her tone was accusatory, condescending, aggressive, loud as if she was yelling at me, and absolutely unprofessional. This is a 2 year SSDI case I have been experiencing firsthand and unfairly. This person was absolutely traumatizing and I don't care who you are related to, you should be an objective, inquisitive, and active listener when working with these cases and individuals. I do NOT recommend LaPorte, nor do I trust this firm. Honestly, It is as if Kelsey Anderson - Kline (formerly LaPorte) is on a mission to agree with all denials under her own interpretation of SSDI requirements. Kelsey, says "Oh they always use templates when sending explanations. They just used the wrong template on your case..." WHAT? That in itself is complete idiocracy of what you may experience with LaPorte Law Firm. fyi: idiocracy - common sense and smart leadership are replaced by mass foolish or unintelligent people (ignorance) Remember it is not what you know, it is who you know. Perhaps that is the case here.

I was calling around looking for information on what power or authority renters insurance companies…read morehave on you when filing a claim and what they are allowed to make you do or questions they are allowed to make you answer. I left numerous messages for a handful of other places throughout the day. Mr. Shaffman was the only one to take my call and actually spend a good amount of time talking to me about certain topics on the above matter. And you have to love blunt honesty. When finishing up and thanked Mr. Shaffman for his time when no one did. He responded saying he knew right away he wouldn't take my case and no attorney would, but he figured since he had a few minutes, he would pass along his knowledge to me because renters insurance companies bully people and he does not like that. Lol that was awesome.

They are horrible to deal with. I used them to create a trust. Part of the reason I selected them…read moreinitially was because they said it would be easy to make changes later if we had any life changes and needed to adjust. A year later I had another child and wanted to get them added to the trust, so I reached back out to them and they kept saying "they would look into it" for 6 months, before finally saying they are too busy to help with these changes. Seriously it took them 6 months to say they won't help with something they originally created. Don't waste your time or money with these attorneys. They obviously do not care about retaining their customers and they are slow to get back to you. 1000% would recommend going anywhere else
