From the moment I met Kevin LaPorte, I felt at ease. He was friendly and courteous; he went over everything and didn’t talk down to me at any time. Everything went according to the time line he presented and all documents arrived on time. His staff were a great help to us as well, especially Sylvia, who was friendly and helpful. I want to thank Kevin and his team for making what could have been a very difficult process seem like a breeze.
Mark P.
Terry is an expert in disability law. He has been practicing disability law for several years and has successfully handled thousands of cases. He is a very kind, caring, and intelligent man who has dedicated his career to helping the disabled, which I admire greatly. I truly respect and trust him as an individual and as an attorney.
Elena W.
I was referred to Mr. LaPorte when Social Security declined my disability claim. His staff were very patient and courteous. Mr. LaPorte explained the process for filing an appeal thoroughly, including how long it could take, and didn’t sugarcoat things. I truly appreciated this, because I prefer to be prepared, rather than be disappointed. Fortunately, I was approved, and I am confident that this is due to Mr. LaPorte’s handling of my case.
