"I believe everyone deserves to retire with dignity. Unfortunately, many people do not, frequently because they have been denied their rightful pension benefits. That is why I became a pension attorney (rather than some other type of attorney); I believed that if I helped people recover their pension benefits, I could make a real difference in their lives. In many ways I have accomplished this goal, although it is one with no end." — Eva Cantarella
