I highly recommend Nicholas Callas! He and his associates went above and beyond! They basically do everything for you. I never had to go to his office. All appointments and updates were done virtual or through email. They are compassionate and responsive. They keep you updated each step of the way. He explained everything so it was easy for me to understand. He won my case in less than 2 months. As most of you know when filing for SSD can take up to months or possibly a couple of years. Thank you Nick for your services.

I had applied for a disability twice and was denied both times, I looked on line for a disability attorney and Mr. Callas name came up, I read his reviews and I was impressed with the reviews. I called him and I must say I was surprised with him no matter when I called or sent him an e-mailed he would always respond back to me within 30 mins to an hour. Even if he was not able to talk right then he would let you know and he would call back as soon as he could and I really liked that. If you want someone that’s concern about you and will do his best to help you win then call Mr. Callas he’s the one for you, I’m so Thankful I found him. We won the case

Nick just provided excellent service from start to finish. I never had to worry about what the next step was in the process Nick always explained it completely. I would recommend this law firm due to the compassion they have for their clients and the timeliness of response and no matter what your call would be answered or returned in a timely manner. Go with Nick Callas i promise you will not be disappointed.

Hired Attorney

I had a rather complicated disability case related to a delicate and embarrassing gynecological issue. Nick Callas was sensitive and compassionate throughout the whole process, working with my husband and I to get the best case results. When we went to court before the administrative judge, Nick was fully prepared and his many years of experience showed. In the end, my case was decided fully in my favor. I would highly recommend Nick Callas to others needing an attorney to guide them through the very confusing and challenging Social Security disability process.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
