If I could give a 10-star review for this attorney I would! if you are looking for an attorney that…read moreis willing to go the extra mile for you to help you get the benefits that you deserve this is the attorney he is so very kind and I like the fact that I always get to speak with him, he is always very responsive and communicates with you a lot and I liked this about him, he is very direct and to the point and I love the honesty about him and that he is willing to fight for you and your benefits that you deserve. I had another attorney before him and I never felt like the other attorney was willing to go the extra mile for me like Mr. Kalish did. He knows a lot about the laws and about how to get you your benefits and looks at things differently, things that I would have neverhave thought to look at before when in an appeal He is very knowledgeable in his field of law and knew how to help me win my case of 4 years. l. I am so extremely thankful for this attorney because without him I do not think I would have won my appeals. If you are in the Orange county area or surrounding areas and are looking for an attorney for social security disabilityI strongly recommend hiring this attorney for you case not only is he kind but I promise you he will fight for you to the end. Thank you Mr kalish for all you did for me.

I had spent time before with a different attorney that had my first disability case end without…read moreapproval and searching for a new attorney more experienced in the area of social security disability. I watched Mr. Kalish video and read the reviews and decided this attorney was much better than my previous attorney with knowledge on the social security disability cases. I was welcomed with a friendly and cheerful first call with a wealth of new and helpful information that began my case again but this time with a stronger presentation and better assistance to how to work and manage the system through the process. There is a team work here and both team members have their job to get this case to a win. Every step of the way you have someone that listens, explains to you all the crazy paper work from Social Security and how to work around the multiple layers of a system that is set up to now want you to win your case. I had someone through Mr. Kalish that has the patience, knowledge and understanding to walk you successfully through each step. I had a FULLY favorable decision with my second attempt as this happened only with the expertise and knowledge of this competent and efficient attorney. I received a letter from Social Security seven months after being awarded already asking me to prove again that I am supposed to be receiving benefits. I made a phone call to Mr. Kalish for assistance as the best quality is that we can ask questions after the case is closed and awarded when Social Security continues to try the multiple levels of insanity for you to try and prove to their department what the Judge already awarded is correct. The peace of mind that you can call and receive answers to questions after the case is closed is just a further testament of the quality of attorney you are receiving. If you want to win your Social Security case, go with Mr. Kalish-go with the best and you can be with me and after several years of fighting the system receiving benefits and taking care of your health. The best to all of you reading this review and stay strong to a win for your cases!!

This progressive disease is even documented in the SDI manual - but I was denied - twice. The ruling said since I was employed part time, I could not be disabled. They would not accept that I was 100% unemployed for 2 years before my docs found a drug cocktail that let me go back to work part time -- at 1/10 the salary I was making before I became disabled. Sima fought for me and finally had me classed as disabled for the years I was unable to work, with SDI coverage for those years.

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.

DO NOT COME HERE FOR IMMIGRATION WORK or ADVICE!…read more To start off, have not had a great experience with Mina. My parents met up with Mina in Vietnam in 2019. They talked and she said that she would be able to get them to USA via EB3 visa. She said it would cost them $25,000 and they paid her cash up front. After she took the money she was no where to be found. We tried calling her and emailing her multiple times with an answer. In 2021, we finally was able to get a hold of her and she said she would refund the $25,000 and to give her a few months as she just moved to a new office. Fast forward to 2023, she is no where to be found. Again tried to contact here multiple time via email and phone. If you're looking to getting some sort of immigration work done go find a trustworthy attorney. She will say she can help and then you pay the fees and you will be ghosted.
