About Law Offices of Barbara B. Comerford

Caring and Compassionate Lawyers and Staff

Law Offices of Barbara B. Comerford concentrates its practice in the area of disability law. Since Ms. Comerford began the private practice of law in 1985, she has made it her mission to make every effort to approach her clients' needs with kindness and compassion. Our staff reflects that commitment. Our associates, bilingual paralegals and legal assistants take the time to listen, and to assist clients through the maze of forms, and bureaucracy which can often overwhelm them. And when our clients' legal needs require outside assistance, we refer them to others who may be able to help them. In that sense, we take a holistic approach to the law. We understand that a call to our firm usually reflects months of anguish about whether to retain an attorney to help navigate through the disability process. Contrary to the public perception, most people call a disability lawyer when they simply have no other choice.

While Barbara Comerford began her legal practice in 1985 representing personal injury plaintiffs, as well as disability clients, in the late 1990's, she made a decision to concentrate her practice on assisting disabled clients. Since that time, she has referred all personal injury cases to law firms with vast experience in personal injury matters. However, Ms. Comerford encourages those clients to continue to reach out to her if they have any other legal questions or concerns.

Our firm remains committed to zealously representing clients with disability claims against the Social Security Administration, long term disability insurance companies (ERISA and individual disability income policies) as well as state disability pensions. Ms. Comerford has more than two decades of experience in this field and has earned a reputation for working hard to ensure that her clients are protected, and that their rights are zealously guarded. Please contact our firm for a free consultation. We look forward to helping you!

I could not have been In better hands. Jasmine is patience, and quick to handle any situation that may arise. As a disabled person who needs to rely on a lawyer for direction, there has to be trust. Jasmine is going to handle your case as if she has no other client. I always felt respected and informed. She has proven to be the best in the business when it comes to representing a client to WIN!

On my very first visit,ESQ: Matthew Schrieks made me feel comfortable & confident in him handling my case. He promptly returned all my phone calls when i had questions or concerns. He along with ESQ: Jasmine Dickerson has been with me every step of the way with positive results. From the receptionist & office staff to the lawyers I felt that they had my best interest at hand. I would certainly recommend The Barbara B.Comerford law firm and in particular ESQ:Matthew Shrieks again

Barbara B. Comerford and her associates are amazing. I recommend this firm highly to anyone facing disability and the legal challenges. When I received a letter that my insurance claim was "closed" - I was completely in shock. It was a very traumatic experience. But from my first call with Barbara I knew that I had a team in my corner and I was going to be OK. I worked with Sara Kaplan to defend my case and she is wonderful. She fought so hard and she won! I cried happy tears. Call them!

Hired Attorney Jasmine Dickerson

I was very pleased with how Jasmine handled my social security disability appeal before Judge West. She literally got my file seven weeks before my scheduled hearing, got a good sense of what was going on, prepared me accordingly and put forth an amazing argument. She definitely knows what needs to be done and gets it done well. I have already gave her name to someone who can benefit from her services.

Outstanding! Matthew Schrieks is an amazing lawyer. He went above and beyond all of my expectations. He walked me through the whole process and his lines of communication were incredible. He always made himself available for questions and concerns. He fought diligently for my disability approval. Not only was he passionate, he was empathetic from the beginning to the end. I would highly recommend this law firm! I cannot stress enough the difference he has made for us!!

I dealt with Jennifer Manger and Matt Schreiks for my disability claims. The thought of dealing with the paperwork and bureaucracy was overwhelming for me, especially given my bi-polar disorder history. Jennifer was extremely thorough and compassionate at our initial meeting, and very easy to communicate with, Both Jennifer and Matt were easily accessible by phone or email, and answered all my questions in a timely fashion. During a stressful time in my life, they were patient and reassuring.

Jennifer Manger, Esq. of the firm has restored my faith in the legal profession. She was genuinely caring, extremely bright and sharp and always had the best interests of myself and my family. I commend her completely to represent anyone at any time. Her efforts and diligence were superb. This is an attorney that you want on your side at all times.

I was so grateful to have Jennifer Manger as my lawyer representing me in my disability claim.
She represented me professionally and also with compassion. Her knowledge of handling disability claims was excellent, as my claim was approved quickly in the reconsideration stage. It is my understanding that this does not happen often. I was impressed in the way she spoke with me as a person caring about my life and the outcome of my claim and not just another case.
It was comforting to know that when I left a message or sent an email, she would respond very quickly, even on her day off.
I would highly recommend Jennifer Manger and the offices of Barbara Comerford.
Thank you so much for all your help.
