I was referred to this law firm through a cousin several years ago because they had helped her get her disability from Social Security. I called and they were very kind and understanding and they reassured me that they could help me seeing how I had been denied twice already by doing it by myself. The intake specialist was great. I wouldn't change anything by coming to Victor Makris. He treated me well with respect and dignity and in the end won my case to receive benefits. I have since referred him to my neighbors and family members because I know he will get the job done for them like he did for me. V. Preston

I had been struggling to get any traction on my prior attempts to get disability. My ex wife recommended Makris and although it took close to 2 years to get my settlement, it was well worth it. They're finishing up the details in the next few days. I will say, at times it would get frustrating because of the slow moving government machine. Could've been due to covid, in the end I'd recommend Makris to anyone who is looking for help or representation for disability claim. Heartfelt thank you to Victor Makris and his very capable staff.

I highly recommend Makris lawfirm. I had and another law firm that was working on my case for 2 years and I discharged them for lack of communication, empathy and concern. Makris lawfirm was very helpful in getting me my disability. They stayed in contact with me through emails, text, and phone calls. They requested and obtained all of my medical records. They never left me with any unanswered questions and they were very efficient. Within 5 months I was approved for disability. If it wasnt for Makris lawfirm I don't know where I would be. I will always recommend Makris lawfirm to anyone that is trying so hard to get the disability benefits they deserve. Thank you Makris Lawfirm. Love you guys. Sincerely, Jacquelyn Lampkin

Safeguard Your Future with a Prenuptial Agreement

When you’re ready to say, “I do,” there are a lot of things to deal with and one of them should be what will happen if the marriage would not work out. A prenuptial agreement is a legal document that clarifies how assets and debts will be divided if the marriage were to end. Think of it as a formula that provides a blueprint for ending the relationship with peace of mind and safeguards for both partners’ interests. A prenuptial agreement should be tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. They can be touchy subjects with your partner to be, but we can guide you through the process, explain the benefits and confirm that it reflects your wishes and concerns about your assets.

Child Custody: Putting The Interest Of Your Child First.

When parents separate or divorce, child custody can sometimes become a contested issue. We know your child’s well-being is your primary concern. Sometimes petitioning for custody is the only option that is in your child’s best interest.

Our goal is to establish a custody arrangement that prioritizes stability and creates a positive environment for your child’s growth and development.

The legal proof needed for getting custody is proving that you can provide the kind of home, environment and parenting of the child that is in the child’s best interest. If the matter cannot be worked out in an agreed child custody arrangement reached through negotiation or mediation, then the next step is to get the evidence together to prove that you can provide what is in your child’s best interests in court.
