A Pair of Paperwork Powerhouses





A dedicated and capable support staff is the backbone of any great law office. At Alegria & Barovick LLP, we recognize the difference an excellent support staff make. While attorneys can handle the legal strategies employed, it is the support staff who keep things running smoothly and anticipate potential issues before they become real problems.


In our practice, we handle a great deal of Social Security Disability cases and these often require reviewing a client’s medical records to figure out whether he or she has already received certain care, or needs further treatment.

However, medical records can be very difficult to obtain. Depending on how old the medical records may be, they may be archived off-site from a hospital or doctor's office, which makes them difficult to track down. And if the records are too recent, they may not have been properly catalogued yet. Our staff are experts at finding records - and often go through Herculean efforts to locate them, which can mean the difference between a client receiving needed benefits or not.   

For example, we just handled a case involving a client who was being treated by a physician located near Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York.

As a result of Hurricane Sandy last year, this doctor’s office had been damaged and his files were completely torn asunder. Our team worked tirelessly to locate an IT specialist capable of extracting data from the doctor’s waterlogged, salt-damaged hard drive, which revived our case; by presenting this evidence to the Administrative Law Judge at a disability hearing, we were able to prevail and get our client the disability benefits she deserved.     


Whether it’s taking on complicated tasks like forensic computing, coming in on the weekend or just being flexible, our support staff genuinely wants the best outcome for you and your case.

Does your Social Security Disability case need the help of a paperwork powerhouse? Combined with help of the help of the guy in the back office, who happens to be an experienced Social Security Disability attorney, our support staff will ensure that you’ll be in good hands.
