Kevin and Sylvia were extremely supportive, professional, and courteous throughout the entire appeals process. Kevin is not an overly aggressive attorney, but he is very experienced and knowledgeable about the process, and I believe that is why he wins favorable outcomes. He prepared me for the very long and invasive appeals process. He answered all of my questions and gave me very good advice on how to answer all of the judge’s questions. I would highly recommend LaPorte Law Firm to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, professional, and supportive attorney to help with Social Security Disability.

After getting turned down for SSDI twice, I went to Kevin LaPorte for representation on my appeal. We just won our appeal before an administrative judge, bringing an end to a long two-and-a-half-year ordeal. Kevin LaPorte is everything that you’d want in an attorney — extremely knowledgeable, prompt, an excellent communicator, organized, direct, well prepared, and compassionate. He told me exactly what to expect at the hearing and correctly predicted many of the issues that the judge would delve into. I knew I was in excellent hands with a top-notch legal advocate. Additionally, his relaxed, calm, and confident manner made him a pleasure to work with. Finally, his legal assistant, Sylvia, is extremely organized, prompt, and thorough, making communication with his office very easy. With total confidence, I can tell you that this is the legal team you want representing you.

Terry was very helpful with any questions I had and filed all the paperwork required for the appeal. He called me a few days before the court hearing and made sure I had all my questions answered. From the get-go, he was very helpful and friendly, and that is hard to find in a lawyer.

The judge for my case was very tough; however, we were very prepared, which helped a lot. I was getting a lot of push back because of my age; however, I sustained many injuries during my time in the Marine Corps. After the hearing, we weren’t sure how it went because the judge was very tough and hard to read, but a few weeks later, I found out we won our case.

The reason we won is Terry. He made sure everything was well prepared and made sure I knew how to answer the questions that were asked of me correctly. Terry instilled confidence in me months before our court date; his experience and knowledge is the reason we won.

Although I wasn’t sure if hiring a lawyer would be the best thing to do, I’m glad I did, because Terry made the whole process very pleasant. Now I do not have to worry as much anymore, and I am enjoying my life with my family thanks to him!

I came to California after filing for disability and being denied in another state. I was then denied twice in California as well, before being referred to Terry LaPorte. He is great — easy-going but very intelligent. I have to admit, after being turned down over three times, I had my doubts. I was on mental health medication and just couldn’t deal with things anymore. Many days, I could not even manage to take a shower. It was grim. It is difficult to make it in California with no money and no place to live. I don’t know what I would have done had I been denied again. It seemed like there was no way out of my situation, but I am forever grateful for Terry believing in me and going to bat for me. I feel like I can live a little now. Thanks, Terry!

I had a warm, caring, understanding, and knowledgeable lawyer in Mr. Terry LaPorte. He was amazing in getting my papers submitted and keeping me informed of the progress of my case. I also needed some advice on another case of mine, and he was always there to give me advice (even when he was about to board a plane to go to another case). Just an amazing lawyer.

Kevin LaPorte was instrumental in obtaining my Social Security Disability benefits. My benefits had been denied previously and I felt defeated, but Kevin was optimistic and gave me hope. Kevin and his staff were always very courteous and professional, willing to answer questions and to ease my anxiety. My daughter was my support person throughout this process and Kevin had no problem keeping us both up to date on my case. He is a very capable and caring individual who advocates aggressively for his clients. I wish Kevin continued success and recommend him highly.

I was referred to LaPorte Law Firm several years ago by another lawyer who was not able to help me with my case. After meeting Terry LaPorte, I understood why he had been recommended. From the very first visit, he showed a genuine interest in who I am as an individual and was compassionate in helping me accomplish what I needed. Terry is a good listener and made me feel immediately comfortable. His knowledge of his business and the laws and regulations surrounding it gave me the confidence that I was at the right place. The process turned out to be very timely, made things incredibly easy for me, and was a great success. What I still find gratifying is that years later, if I have a question, I can call Terry, and his willingness to help is just as awesome as it was the day I hired LaPorte Law Firm.

LaPorte Law Firm has helped me, my family, and my friends. They work very hard to help their clients, they are very friendly and knowledgeable, and they truly care. I have been very pleased with them and have recommended my friends and family to call Kevin LaPorte. I have recommended the LaPorte Law Firm to six of my friends, and they are all very happy with the results of their cases.
