Cliff Weisberg has been a practicing attorney for over 40 years. Most of that time has been devoted exclusively to Social Security Disability law, handling his first Social Security Disability case in 1969. In 1979, he was one of the three founding members of the National Organization of Social Security Claimant Representatives (NOSSCR), the only nationally recognized group of attorneys specializing in social security disability law.
As past president, member of the executive committee, and current member of the Council of Past Presidents, he has seen NOSSCR grow into a 4,000-member organization. As part of his duties, he has given over 200 presentations on various aspects of the Social Security Act and has conducted numerous training seminars for attorneys just starting practice. He has also been a member of the editorial board of West Publishing Company’s SOCIAL SECURITY REPORTING SERVICE, since its inception in 1985. In 1993, Mr. Weisberg was presented with the NOSSCR Pro Bono Award for legal services to the poor.
Mark Aiello Focusing primarily on cases pertaining to Social Security disability, workers compensation, estate planning and veteran’s benefits, it’s clear to see Mark A. Aiello’s passion is finding justice for hard-working and deserving people. Attorney Mark A. Aiello is one of few who can boast a 90% success rate for acquiring compensation for cases having to do with Social Security, and has recovered millions of dollars for countless clients over the years. He is a member of the National Advocates Top 100, recognizing him as one of the top disability attorneys in Michigan. His VA accreditation allows him to travel anywhere throughout the country and service the men and women who have fought for our country by representing them in their claims to receive the disability benefits they deserve.
His passion for helping good people, vast knowledge, experience, and determination to seek out justice for those who cannot fight for themselves is what allows him to win nearly every case. With over 20 years of experience, working with men and women who have suffered and lost so much, his goal for Aiello Law Group is to continue providing excellent legal representation for people and families who have nowhere else to go, and no one else to trust. By trusting in attorney Mark A. Aiello’s legal advice and capabilities, you can rest easy knowing that you are taking the best approach to get the justice you deserve
