Alex Dell law firm is the absolute best! I hired them for NY State disability Retirement and Social Security Disability and I’m here to tell you that this law firm will do everything they can to fight for you. They are organized and truly care about you. I have gotten calls and emails from them on weekends and past the normal working hours. With their help I won both cases! I personally want to thank Alex Dell, Rebecca Striker, Ann Zagare and the paralegals for everything they did for me and my family!
