Lourdes Velez – Office Manager

Lourdes Velez has been working with Daniel Berger for over 16 years. She has helped thousands of clients obtain there Social Security benefits. But recently it became personal for me when my father became ill and could no longer work. I felt that I needed to be his voice because I realized what our clients go through and how much they rely on us. Helping my dad was familiar because we treat our clients like family.
