I am honored to provide a positive review and recommendation for Schiffman Law in Phoenix, AZ. Lisa Counters, lead attorney and Melissa Gutierrez, paralegal did an excellent job of patiently guiding me through a complicated legal matter and the overwhelming appeal process when my LTD benefits were discontinued. Not only are they legal experts in LTD and disability matters, they also were empathetic to my situation and provided high touch, conscientious care to me and my family. This communicative “winning” team operated with a sense of urgency through collaboration, responsiveness and professionalism. I would absolutely recommend Lisa Counters and the staff at Schiffman Law to assist anyone that should need legal assistance for Long Term Disability or Social Security Disability matters.

Getting approved for ssdi for a brain injury that did not heal is by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. SSI makes it completely impossible and their own doctors do not read through all of the paperwork submitted. I knew my first denial I could not do this on my own and I needed to seek legal help. I was denied again, only because the SSI M.D. did not thoroughly read all of my paperwork stating I have a mTBI (my first neurologist didn’t think I had one, don’t get me started on that), and disregarded my neuropsych evaluation as well. Anna and her team have been there for me, getting supporting documents, listening to me complain all of the time, and will represent me at my hearing. This is a lot to deal with and I am thankful she hasn’t fired me. Haha Thank you for all of your help!

Long Term Disability Lawyer ERISA Attorney for George Frazier

I had an incredibly good experience with Lisa Counters many years ago on a long-term disability claim in which my insurance carrier, Aetna, had cut me off from my disability payments related to my chronic disseminated Lyme Disease. Lisa agreed to represent me, when other attorneys had declined, was very thorough and professional throughout the process. She did an excellent job representing me, with the end result being that my payments were reinstated. More recently I contacted Lisa to get her opinion on a lump sum payment that had been offered me, and even though we hadn’t communicated for many years, she took my call and took the time to understand my current situation and offer me sound advice, which I took. I would highly recommend Lisa for anyone with a long-term disability claim, as I found her knowledge of the disability insurance system and how to manage it, to be unsurpassed.

My girlfriend of 20 years became disabled in June of 2016, we luckily hired Schiffman Law to represent us in a social security disability claim. In took countless years and effort to eventually win a claim that was extremely complicated and very labor intensive. Our claim was finally settled in September of 2020 over four years of effort. During this time Anna Schiffman our Atty, Never missed a beat never missed any detail never missed a opportunity to represent us to the highest degree, She and her staff especially Leslie never ever one time dropped the ball or quit trying for us. I would highly recommend Shiffman Law for anyone filing a claim for anyone filing a claim for Disability. Thank you Anna and Schiffman Law..

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!!!

My daughter had a very serious traumatic brain injury in a car accident. She was in the ICU for 16 days, and subsequently was an inpatient in a neuro-rehabilitation clinic for 7 more months. She had post-traumatic amnesia for 5 months, while any longer than one week in PTA is considered “long-term”. She has been receiving therapy 5 days a week for memory and cognitive impairments for over 2 1/2 years now. We applied for SSDI a little less than 1 year following the accident which we understood was the minimum time she needed to be out of work to qualify, and we assumed her application would be approved since her disability was very obvious. To our surprise, she was denied because the Social Security Administration (SSA) said she was not disabled basically because “she could move and think”! She had been examined for less than 2 hours by a neuro-psychologist retained by SSA who disagreed with the 18 other neuro-psychologists who had been working with her since her accident, all of whom determined she could not work. At this point we retained Anna Schiffman at Schiffman law to assist us. We appealed the decision to deny coverage, and SSA upheld its original decision to deny. We decided to ask for a review of our case by an Administrative Law Judge which was our last chance to get a favorable decision. Now, more than 2 1/2 years after her accident, and more than 1 1/2 years since we initially applied, Anna Schiffman called us to say that she had petitioned the Judge to rule without a hearing since our case we so clear that SSDI should have been approved, and that the Judge ruled in my daughter’s favor immediately. We just got the written confirmation of the ruling which provided for retroactive payments to 6 months following the date of her accident which would have been the initial eligibility date had SSA approved our application in the beginning. We were very pleased with the assistance Anna Schiffman and her team provided, and would highly recommend her firm to anyone that is denied coverage for SSDI benefits. We would have been better off had we retained Schiffman Law from the beginning rather than trying to get through the application process ourselves.

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!

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!!

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.

I cannot thank Anna and her team for all their hard work. They made sure that every little detail was taken care of. Every medical record, tax info, etc., going back years so that the facts were all seen by the judge. Everyone in her office was always kind and always answered what seemed like silly questions I had, and they always made me feel better.

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.

After loosing my disability case with an attorney who told me “you’re 59 just wait til your 62 and collect SS.” That was the response my former attorney gave me after we lost.. I fired him and Hired Anna Schiffman of Schiffman Law.. From the very first contact I knew I was in good hands, because they took the time to listen to me.. And it wasn’t a staff associate that spoke with me, it was the actual attorney herself.. She took the time to really understand my case. I wasn’t treated like a case file in some large firm.. It was personal.. Anna kept me up to date every step of the way, I was never wondering what was going on. After being in the system for 5 years Anna and her team led me to a successful fully favorable decision.. Not only did she get me a fully favorable decision, she was able to reopen the previous denial so I am getting back pay from my first application.. This team of professionals know what they are doing, and really do care about you and your case.. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a disability attorney.

Anna Schiffman gave me peace of mind which was priceless. I had been working in the semiconductor industry since 1978. Once my condition rendered me unable to efficiently complete my daily tasks, I was so stressed. After my very first meeting with Anna, my stress level decreased significantly. She was so knowledgable and understanding of my situation. Anna was very professional and she and her team kept me informed every step of the way. They were always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. Anna made this process worry free for me. She made no guarantees, however I knew she would fight for my rights if my case came to that. Thank you Anna!

The experience I had with Schiffman Law Office with regards to my disability case was outstanding! I was new to the whole process and had no idea what was involved or how to proceed. They explained everything fully to me and stayed on top of everything even when I had dropped the ball at one point. I was extremely happy to have them working for me because I felt very secure that whatever the outcome was going to be, that no one else could have done more or represented me better than Alan Schiffman and everyone who works with him at the office. I would, and have, recommend him if anyone ever needs any sort of legal advice or assistance because they will never steer you wrong and will do the best job possible for you!!!

After sustaining a traumatic back injury I was no longer able to work as a clinic nurse and was left with an accute disability. I contacted Anna Schiffman, who together with her capable staff evaluated my situation and quickly met in person with my husband and me. Anna was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. She worked with us closely every step of the way through my initial application for SSDI, my preliminary denial, and appeal. She coordinated the collection of relevent medical supporting records, and dealt with both the state and federal agencies exclusively. Her persistence, expertise and understanding of the law lead us to prevail in our claim with a fair and successful outcome. I would suggest that anyone in Arizona needing help with obtaining SSDI for which they are eligible, contact Anna and the Schiffman Law Firm.

Overall, Anna Schiffman was great. She was able to take the scattered mess of paperwork that I had in many different grocery bags (the paperwork I managed to get to her) and make something of it. Some of it was printed, scanned, from a picture on my phone, mixed in with old medical bills from the last decade of my issues. Anna was quick to respond to any messages or calls of mine in detail or have someone else respond right away if she was not available to do so herself.
Hiring her and her law firm was hands down the best decision I made during this entire process. The stress and weight it took off of my shoulders alone was well worth everything.
If I had to do it all over again, the only thing I’d do differently is hire her from the get-go instead of waiting until I was denied the first time around.

Even if I had not gotten a favorable decision, I would still know that they did everything they could for me. This included having patience with me when I was feeling ill, and encouraging me to not stress out about the process. They made sure I could present my case fully and Mr. Schffman was fantastic. If you are looking for help with disability, you will not be disappointed in their performance.

I have been fighting for SSD benefits for 5 years and had multiple denials through another attorney. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment with Alan right away. When I went for my appointment, I actually met with both Alan and Anna! They agreed not only to take my case to the federal court, but also to file a new claim as things continue to decline with my condition. I recently found out that we won our federal case and I couldn’t be happier! It’s been a long road since the beginning of all this and I only wish that I had known about this team of experts at Schiffman & Puig from the beginning! I highly recommend Alan, Anna and their entire team! Their prompt responses and understanding of all has truly saved me! Thank you!

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.
