I hold Sharmine Persaud in high regard. She is highly professional and easily accessible as well as a capable attorney and one I have recommended family to.
Before I hired Ms. Persaud two attorneys told me I did not have a case. I suffered severe respiratory illness while working in a factory for over 20 years. Ms. Persaud took my case and won it. I won lifetime WC benefits and health care. I was able to seek medical attention from the best doctors out of state and in NY state. She helped me get social security benefits too.
Attorney Persaud represented my mother. I tried filing for SSD benefits for my Mother. The process was so complicated and overwhelming. I felt I needed to hire professional legal help. An acquaintance recommended Attorney Persaud. She was professional, her staff was great and her office was conveniently located. When my mother met her we thought it was just going to be a quick free-consultation however once we met the attorney we knew she was the right person for us. Wonderful and talented atty
Competent, knowledgeable and very helpful.
After being referred to Sharmine Persaud, I was immediately put at ease during our first in-person meeting. This was due to the fact that Sharmine gave me an accurate, up front, and realistic time frame for someone in my predicament in need of SSDI assistance. While the process in NYS certainly seemed arduous, Ms. Persaud's persistance was positively persuasive; I am happy to report I was given a favorable verdict by the judge presiding over my hearing. Sharmine made sure I was prepared by answering any questions I had in the preceding months, and for that I am thankful. I would absolutely reccomend her services.
Very professional, she explained all clearly . No false presumptions. Whenever I called, someone always returned my calls including my lawyer, Mrs. Persaud.
Worked with me through the whole process and got a big paycheck on my behalf! We were originally offered a not so desirable amount and Sharmine was able to get me the compensation I deserved. Would recommend working with Sharmine, very understanding and will walk you through everything A-Z.
It was a pleasure working with Sharmine Persaud. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and informative. I was terribly upset with the SSA disability process when I met her, but she kept me positive throughout the entire time. Sharmine and her staff were wonderful, and they always returned my calls and emails promptly whenever I had questions. I was extremely impressed at how quickly she was able to resolve my case. I am incredibly happy with the outcome of my case and would hire her again as well as recommend her to my friends and family.
Professional, knowledgeable and reliable. Helped my wife prepare for her court case, and guided her to know what to be ready for. Ultimately we won our case.
