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

I had called a number of SSDI lawyers when I was looking for a lawyer. Upon meeting with Ms Persaud I felt extremely at ease and comfortable explaining to her my situation. Ms Persaud knew that she would be able to help me out. I am so pleased that I made the right decision because she made the whole process very simple. Her office staff are all very good at what they do plus keeping me up to speed during the process. The main reason for using this office was the fact that getting to talk to Ms Persaud or Lillian Vaquiz was never a problem. They always got right on the phone or called me back right away. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for my Workers Comp lawyer. For now on I stick to the smaller office with the personable touch. Unfortunately I didn’t know Ms Persaud when I was looking for a Workers Comp lawyer. My thinking at that time was bigger would be better. Boy was I wrong. Unfortunately I could not change Workers Comp lawyers at that point.

I called SSA & they referred several Social Security Attorneys for me to Contact. I contacted & spoke with several Attorneys Offices.  I wasn't impressed until I contacted Persaud + Zeltman & spoke with Sharmine Persaud.  Sharmine & Francesca both were Extremely Professional, Knowledgeable, Supportive & Confident.  Upon visiting the Office, I learned about their backgrounds, beliefs & values. I was Very Impressed with Lillian Vaquiz & All of the same Professional Qualities that she possessed.

From the first day we meet Ms. Persaud was very personable and well versed. She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything step by step. Ms. Persaud was a welcome light during a difficult and long process. I wish all my dealings were with someone as kind and smart as she is.

Hired Attorney Sharmine Persaud

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

Hired Attorney Sharmine Persaud

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.
