I was pleasantly surprised by how willing Alan Schiiffman was to help me during our free consultation phone call. He was incredibly patient and calmly listened to what I had to say. He answered all of my questions and gave me the piece of mind that I sought. If he did all that during the consultation, I can only imagine how hard he would for a client. i definitely am recommending him to anyone who needs a workers comp or disability lawyer.

Anna Schiffman was completely AMAZING. I had literally been through the ringer. I had been all the way to a hearing with another attorney (who didn't know my name). The Schiffman staff was very thorough and kept me constantly updated. Anna, even though she was the attorney never was above responding or answering a question. I just received a favorable decision that has been four years coming. I truly can't thank the entire staff at Schiffman Law and Anna Schiffman for everything they did. Anyone needing a disability attorney look no further!! If and when I am reviewed by Social Security I will be back to Anna.

I was represented by Rod Melkonoff and his team. What a great experience and their communication with me was exceptional! I had appealed my disability case several times (on my own) over a few years to no avail. Having a more rare condition that most people don't take the time to understand and/or research, I truly felt I didn't have a leg to stand on. Rod and his legal assistant Lorenza had my back through the entire process. The legal documents prepared for my hearing were so professional, detailed and very eloquently written. And the way Rod represented me on the "big day" I will never forget...I was in tears (happy ones). Thank you for believing in me and doing all you did to help win my case!!!

The best... I hired this firm after I lost a disability case with another local firm.. My experience was totally different... I spoke with the attorney throughout the entire process, there was no legal assistant in between.. because of the attention she gave to my case.. after 6 years in the system I won..
Thank you Anna.. you are the best... - Jaclyn N.Phoenix, AZ042/18/2021
The people at Schiffman Law are professional and discreet. Rod Melkonoff and Lorenza Gomez helped me with every step of my disability claim including filing the initial claim, prompting me to provide health updates, filing appeals and preparing for the hearing. Mr. Melkonoff set reasonable expectations - the process took about 18 months and had a positive outcome. I don't think that would have happened without their persistence. I also appreciated that not only did they help me with my case but also with the filings for medicare and medical financial assistance. Finally I received a digital copy of my file. If I need help in the future they will be my first call.

Testimonial for Anna Schiffman
No one is exempt from the challenges life can present you, when you find yourself suddenly disabled. To find the excellence that Schiffman Puig Law Firm has to offer in my time of need was a blessing I instantly recognized. From my first interactions and every thing there after with both Alan and Anna Schiffman (both lawyers) I felt a sense of relief. To know that there are lawyers out there with a humanitarian style and passion for justice. There expertise in the SSA process has been phenomenal. Anna and the whole team has done a awesome job in navigating me through the SSA paperwork.
I have all the confidence in the world that Schiffman Puig will continue to guide me through this complicated journey at this time in my life.
UPDATE
I signed on with Schiffman Puig on January 13, 2016. A lot of people do the initial filing on their own and wait till they get denied and then hire a lawyer to do there appeal.
To hire a lawyer right out the gate and have them walk me through the process was a excellent decision. It has taken away the stress and frustration of dealing with the red tape and dealing directly with the SSA office .
I was awarded my SSDI on August 11 2016 .
( approx 7 months )
While everyone's disabilities and cases are different, I wanted to add my positive outcome because it could be so frustrating and discouraging to go through the SSA process.
Taking the time to have all your medical records in order at your first consultation with
Shiftman Puig will help them assess your individual situation in a timely manner!
Sincerely,

I have been working with Lisa Counters and her paralegal, Melissa Gutierrez, for several years on both private disability insurance (through my prior employer) and SSA disability. It's a very frustrating process. You can submit all of the medical information and statements to the Insurers and they still deny you. Then you have to appeal (which is where Schiffman comes in) and they point out how ridiculous the insurer's conclusions were and you get approved. Rinse, repeat, each cycle. It is so helpful to have an expert who can hold them accountable, be specific about the requirements your employer has for disability, keep all of the pertinent records right up top and tie it all together in a large document which comes to an irrefutable conclusion. Thanks to Ms. Counters and her team I have been approved through 3 cycles of private disability (on appeal each time) and am now coming up on my social security hearing. Wish me luck. If you need a disability lawyer, I'd definitely recommend them.

Schiffman Law Office won my disability case for me! Thanks to Anna Schiffman and her awesome team, they saw that every detail was taken care of and that every bit of necessary information was presented so that the judge could see that I truly have been disabled. It wasn't and open and closed case but going back a few years, presenting details is what helped me win my Disability case. Thanks Schiffman Law Office.

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. - Ram B.Glendale, AZ15244/1/2017
Anna was my counselor. She was very thorough and she carefully listened to everything. I was awarded my benefits.
