If you're searching for a skilled, local Social Security Disability attorney who gets results, you're in the right place.
We Handle Every Stage of the Disability Process
Initial Application Filing for Social Security Disability benefits starts with the initial application. We help you submit a strong claim the first time, avoiding common mistakes that lead to denials. We gather medical evidence, prepare your forms, and communicate directly with SSA so you don’t have to.
Reconsideration (Appealing the First Denial) If your initial claim is denied, don’t give up. Most are. We handle the reconsideration request by strengthening your case with additional evidence, correcting errors, and pushing back against improper denials.
Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) If reconsideration is denied, we represent you at a disability hearing before a judge. We prepare your testimony, question medical and vocational experts, and argue your case in a clear, compelling way to improve your chances of approval.
Appeals Council Review If your claim is denied by the ALJ, we can request review by the Appeals Council. We analyze the judge’s decision, submit legal arguments, and fight to get your case reviewed or reversed.
Federal District Court Appeals As one of the few firms equipped to handle federal district court SSD appeals, we take your case even further if needed. We file the brief, present your legal argument, and work to get your denial overturned and remanded for another hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions about Disability Claims
Do I qualify for Social Security Disability benefits?
To qualify for SSDI, you must have a physical or mental health condition that prevents you from working and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. You must also have worked and paid into Social Security long enough to meet their eligibility requirements. If you're unsure, we offer a free case review.
How do I apply for Social Security Disability benefits?
To apply for SSD benefits, you can start your application online through the Social Security Administration's website, or you can visit your local Social Security office. It's important to gather all necessary medical documentation and work history before applying to ensure a smoother process.
What should I do if my claim is denied?
If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. This process involves requesting a reconsideration of your claim, and if that is denied, you can request a hearing before an administrative law judge. Having legal representation can significantly improve your chances of a successful appeal.
How long does the disability claims process take?
The duration of the disability claims process can vary widely. Initial claims can take several months to process, while appeals can take even longer, sometimes over a year. Factors such as the complexity of your case and the backlog at the Social Security Administration can affect the timeline.
Can I work while receiving disability benefits?
Yes, you can work while receiving disability benefits, but there are limits on how much you can earn without affecting your benefits. The Social Security Administration has specific guidelines regarding work and earnings for SSD recipients, so it's essential to understand these rules to avoid any issues.
