Bross & Frankel, P.A.

I am extremely happy with the work of Liz Berenato, and the staff at Bross & Frankel. Our case took a long time and was in limbo due to the pandemic, but they worked with us and communicated with us throughout, and always steered is in the right direction. They were prompt and thorough in every aspect, and I was never left confused or ill advised. I am grateful for a positive outcome to our case, and highly recommend Bross & Frankel, P.A.

Bross & Frankel's Liz Berenato Won my Case!

I would never file a SSDI or SSI benefit claim without the assistance of a professional organization like Bross & Frankel, P.A. The hurdles that one has to jump and the bureaucracy that is the federal government can leave you feeling defeated and alone.

I contacted the firm and originally started dialogue with Mr. Frankel about 5 years ago, not really understanding what disability benefits I qualified for with my diagnosis of CMT (Charcót-Marie-Tooth) disease. I had gone from an active corporate professional traveling the country and Europe doing my work to someone who could barely walk or experience a healthy life and outlook.

Mr. Frankel was most compassionate and took the time to explain how the firm could help me with the process of starting my disability claim and follow it up to completion.

My original claim was denied after a lengthy period. The firm appealed the decision, and after a lengthy process, the denial was upheld. I felt defeated and prepared to walk away as many people do when the government get its way. You see, I feel the system is designed to tire you out so you walk away.

Liz Berenato got involved with my case and started the appeal to the SSA Tribunal for a hearing before a live judge. The team worked closely with me and communicated with my medical team of specialists gathering all the necessary documentation and evidence to prepare for court. Liz is a compassionate and dedicated attorney who leaves no stone unturned in the way she prepares her case. This all took place during the COVID-19 pandemic and Liz and the staff continued to work diligently with my case.

After 4 1/2 years of waiting patiently, not all the time, the hearing was scheduled. For some reason out of our control the hearing was postponed for another 6 months, but Ms. Berenato assured me to stay the course and that gave me a sense of comfort. Knowing that she has been an attorney for 32 years specializing in this field, I forged ahead.

This week the hearing took place via video conference and much to my amazement, we won the case. I am thrilled to experience this victory, as I felt like I had been a forgotten American. An American who's worked and paid into the SSA and all other related tax deductions, since I was 16 years old, through college, until my disease made it impossible for me to work at the age of 56.

I applaud Elizabeth Berenato, Mr. Frankel, and the staff at Bross & Frankel, P.A. for their consistent and professional work on behalf of clients like me.

I’d like to thank Elizabeth Berenato for helping my mother receive the disability benefits she deserves. She became disabled in May of 2020, and had been denied multiple times over the past two years. My mother has clear disabilities from her stroke that we thought she wouldn’t have a hard time getting accepted because her disabilities were so obvious. Unfortunately, we were very wrong. After being let down so many times, we decided to hire a lawyer. I’m so glad we went with Bross and Frankel and had Liz as our attorney because she made everything happen for us and more. After appearing in a virtual court case my mother was approved fully for her benefits. Now, she receives more than we even thought she would. Bottom line- get a lawyer and go with Bross and Frankel. Thank you so much Liz for helping us!

Liz Berenato represented me for my SSDI appeal hearing. She was very compassionate and helped me navigate the process. I am so grateful for her service in my case. We received a positive outcome, now I can move forward in my life with the help I desperately needed. I would recommend them to anyone working through a disability claim. My mom will be using them in the future.

Liz Berenato was amazing. At my Social Security Administration hearing, the first thing the judge did was to compliment Liz on how clear, complete and well-organized her filing was, so that he felt confident he fully understood my situation and would be able to render a fair judgement. My disability situation was tricky -- an acquired brain injury, not a traumatic brain injury -- so everyone outside of Bross & Frankel told me there was no chance SSA would find in my favor. But Liz's high-quality efforts worked and the judge granted my disability claim.
