Knowledgeable in multiple areas of the law

Law Office of Sharmine Persaud has a thorough understanding of New York law. I work hard to help you get the best possible results in the following practice areas:

• Social Security Disability Benefits (SSDB): The process of obtaining Social Security disability benefits can be daunting and complicated. We prefer to meet clients as soon as possible before the client has filed the application for Social Security disability benefits, so we can get the case started in the right direction. However, we will intervene at any stage, even after denial of an appeal. Let us help you through this difficult period in your life. We want you to receive the disability benefits that you are entitled to and deserve. For more information visit our website www.sharminepersaud.com or Social Security. https://www.ssa.gov/

• Veterans' Service Connected Benefits (VA): Applying for Benefits – Veterans Benefits Administration If you are a member of the armed forces serving on either active duty or full-time National Guard duty, you should apply through the VA Pre-Discharge Program before leaving service. If you have been discharged you may apply for VA Benefits using eBenefits. The best way to file for disability compensation is to apply online at eBenefits.va.gov. If you do not have an eBenefits account you can register at http://www.benefits.va.gov/BENEFITS/Applying.asp. Should you receive a Rating Decision and wish to appeal that decision please contact my office. If your claim is denied, I will appeal that decision. With my help, you can get the veterans' benefits you deserve.

• Workers' Compensation Injuries (WC): If you have sustained an injury or illness at your workplace or at a work-related activity, you have the right to workers' compensation. New York Workers' Compensation Benefits cover you even when the employer protests or controverts your claim. Do not let your employer intimidate you or deter you from filing a claim. For more information about filing a claim visit the Workers' Compensation Board's website http://www.wcb.ny.gov or call our office (631) 777-5440.

When you retain the services of Law Office of Sharmine Persaud, you can be assured that your attorney is fully qualified to take on your case.

Contact a reputable Massapequa law firm today

Government statistics show that at least 65% of unrepresented applications are denied, controverted or disputed. Do not to give up because the success rate for an appeal is much greater. We feel it is important not to be a statistic. The best advice we can give to anyone seeking to file for SSD, VA or WC benefits is to hire an attorney as earlier as possible. Let your attorney begin the medical development and document your medical illness. Your attorney should be involved with the details of your case from day one. Having a knowledgeable and experienced attorney will give you peace of mind. More importantly, the attorney will only receive a fee once he/she wins your case.

Law Office of Sharmine Persaud sees your case through from start to finish. Let me work with you to address your legal concerns. My offices are conveniently located in Massapequa.

Hired Attorney Sharmine Persaud

Having been recommended by another associate to Ms. Persaud I totally left my case in their care. However i also had to present my due diligence in providing the information along with meeting scheduled deadlines presented to lead to the best of case results. The staff was courteous, patient and enduring with my controlling ways and maintained professional at all costs. I was relaxed by their competency and the manner in which the order of things were just as they explained upon my first introduction of her services. The counsel of Mrs. F. Zeltmann was not only thorough yet clear and comprehensible. My life has been made whole, even with my existing disability I stand in confidence, knowing being in their care positioned me to receive the best of living that could be offered to me. Through observation, being a client of the firm, I learned... "Comprehension is the reward of balanced judgement and trust is built incrementally as understanding exhibited"

I highly recommend Sharmine Persaud and her staff. When I was seriously injured in a workplace accident I knew I needed a lawyer and Sharmine was recommended by a friend. She had previously won their case. Knowledgeable, responsive and truly compassionate she took on a case that looked on the surface to be simple but became quite difficult and drawn out. She lead the way and followed it through to a successful end. Dubbed a "unicorn" case as the circumstances were rare Sharmine's tenacity and determined efforts won the day. During the entire process she kept us abreast of each new development and listened intently to our questions and provided answers that made sense. She was exactly the type of lawyer my family needed and I would recommend her to anyone.

Hired Attorney Sharmine Persaud

Sharmine is a life-saver, literally. I was a nyc upper management employee for decades. One inglorious morning I was viciously attacked walking on the promenade to my office. I nearly lost my right eye, received a broken jaw, and supplemental facial wounds. The person who knocked me around was wearing a cowl over his face. The police, the hospital, and midnite tears..I tried calling at least six lawyers, each turned down my case because of the bureaucratic snafu they would be facing; court appearances, doctor reports, filings, and the years of elapsed time it would take to adjudicate my case. Sharmine met with me under very difficult personal circumstances, as I was emotionally drained. Yes, the case took about 3 years to resolve. But we won!!!! Sharmine also handled the appeal..the wounds were serious to my psyche as well as my body...I had called Sharmine a few times since. She politely answered all my questions with facts..I thank the heavens for her help...eric bernhardt
