What our clients say about us

We appreciate the opportunity to help you get the benefits you deserve

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Cliff Weisberg my attorney and his team. Cliff is the most caring & compassionate person. He not only takes time to really listen, he puts his heart and soul into your case. I am so blessed to have him as my attorney! Thank you Cliff and staff at Social Security Counseling Center.

Cliff is an excellent attorney and helped me get a fully favorable decision. His staff is also very helpful. I would highly recommend.

Mr. Weisberg and  his staff were great, always polite and professional.  Other lawyers said my husband did not qualify without hearing his full story. Mr. Weisberg handled everything and was approved first time. Highly  recommend him.
