Offering a Hands-On Approach

If you have a disability that will prevents you from working and have been turned down for Social Security Disability benefits, you are not alone. In fact, most first-time applicants are turned down.

Do not give up. Working closely with you and your doctors, our lawyers can appeal your claim from the reconsideration stage to a court trial, if necessary. We will represent you at all hearings.

When you meet with us, we will closely analyze your medical records, your most recent income level, evidence that you meet all of the eligibility requirements, and any paperwork you have received from the Social Security Administration. Our detailed approach helps us effectively meet your legal needs.

Why Are Legitimate Social Security Disability Benefits Denied?

One reason Social Security Disability claims are often denied is that the medical evidence was not organized and presented in the way the Social Security Administration expected. We will work proactively with your doctors to make sure they record their medical evidence and fill out your medical records in the way Social Security expects. We will organize and present your benefits claim or appeal in the format and with the evidence that works.

When necessary, we can incorporate testimony from vocational experts to demonstrate the seriousness of our clients' disabilities and how those limitations keep them from working. We will scrutinize all available evidence and build a compelling case showing that you are unable to work for at least 12 months and are entitled to Social Security disability benefits.
