I cannot say enough great things about Terry. He has decades of specialized legal knowledge and experience in disability law and it shows. In addition to his level of competence, he is such a genuine person. He regularly demonstrated how much he cares about me. One of the things I particularly appreciated was how responsive he was to my numerous inquiries. He consistently responded to me in a very timely way, whether it was responding with an email or calling me on the phone. Attorneys often do not show this level of professionalism, so it’s refreshing to work with an attorney who does.

I prevailed in my disability claim, which was not straightforward, as it involved an ‘invisible disability.’ Terry was able to present convincing arguments during my disability hearing and I could tell how experienced and confident he is in that environment. After my hearing, he would track the status of my case and keep me updated whenever there was any movement in the process. I could tell by his actions that he was dedicated to making sure he did all he could to assure I prevailed.

I filled out the online request for information on their website the day after Thanksgiving. I didn’t expect to hear from anyone until Monday at the earliest but at around 4:30 p.m., I got a call from Mr. LaPorte personally. He wasn’t even at work, but he happened to check his email and saw my request. He listened to my issues, answered some questions, and set up an appointment for the following week. I had not done an initial application for Social Security or anything yet, and Terry and his staff helped me every step of the way. They made me feel like I had a whole team on my side and made the whole process so easy. My disability is not readily apparent but no one there treated me with doubt or anything other than respect and kindness. It was a wonderful experience, and I won my benefits in only five months. I have recommended Mr. LaPorte to several people seeking Social Security benefits and will continue to do so.

Kevin is an excellent attorney. He helped me get the very best financial outcome for my Social Security Disability case. He is professional, provided excellent advice, and was very prepared when my case was presented to the judge.

Mr. LaPorte and Sylvia have been so helpful to me. After going through a lot in the past three years, it was very good to find someone who really cares about me and is willing to work with me despite my situation. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who is going through this difficult time.

During the most painful and vulnerable time in one’s life, it is comforting to have LaPorte Law Firm providing security and guidance in an arena that is so stressful and confusing. It’s always done with extreme grace, calmness, and respect for those who need it most in their trying times. I can’t thank them enough for taking care of me and reminding me that people do care. I feel blessed to have found them, especially Mr. LaPorte. What a gentleman in a sea of gruffness.

Wow! I am so impressed with Mr. LaPorte. He is the kind of man you hope for when you need a lawyer. I did a fair amount of research on Bay Area lawyers who handle disability and found that most firms don’t want to take your case until it’s time for an appeal, because they make more money that way. But that is not in your best interest. I went to Terry before starting my SSDI application. He took my case, did all the upfront work, and I was approved in three months. I seriously doubt that I would have had such a great result if Terry was not in my corner. He is clearly about helping people, and not just making money. I am so grateful to him.

We went to LaPorte Law Firm for a Social Security-related issue for my son, as he was denied on two applications. After the initial consultation, Terry took over and kept us in the loop throughout the process. A month before the hearing, we were informed that the hearing would be changed to a virtual one due to the pandemic, but Terry made sure we understood the process. Everything went great, but the icing on the cake was that we were able to continue to check in with him regarding parts of the process well into a year after winning our case. He was so responsive and always made time to talk to us and guide us. Without any hesitation, I will recommend Terry!

Best Attorney and staff I ever met !
Terry Laporte and his staff were incredibly professional in handling my SSDI case from beginning to the end. Even after winning my case Terry called me personally to follow up on any issues or questions I had. I will continue to give referrals to Terry and his awesome staff. Terry thanks again for helping other people and myself for a better future.
