Social Security Disability

(SSDI and SSI) A large percentage of people who apply for Social Security Disability have their cases denied at the application and reconsideration level. It has been my experience that a large number of those people can qualify for benefits if they appeal the denial of their reconsideration request to the next level, which is heard before an Administrative Law Judge.

Although these hearings are somewhat informal, it is my opinion that an applicant needs experienced counsel in order to prepare the case for trial, filling in gaps in the record that may have led to the previous denials, and to present the case to the Judge. This helps the claimant tell their story in a way that is both compelling and provides the information that the Judge needs to grant a favorable decision. I have twenty years’ experience in these cases, with consistently good results at both the Administrative Judge and Federal District Court levels.

I have handled disability cases involving various mental health issues such as depression and bipolar disorder, back and neck problems, fibromylagia, heart disease, chronic pain syndrome, arthritis, and many other disabling conditions.

I accept these cases on the contingent fee arrangement approved by the Social Security Administration, 25% of the past-due benefits up to $5,300.00.
