Worried About SSD?
WE CAN HELP

Our disability lawyers are knowledgeable about the “Blue Book” technical listings for different impairments. We work with clients and their doctors to ensure that the medical records of their disability and treatment reflect the criteria.

Symptoms don't always fit neatly into one category or don't precisely match the listed criteria. The SSA gives special leeway to applicants who are over age 50 or have multiple physical impairments. We also help clients qualify under the medical-vocational allowance if their disability does not match the listing but still prevents them from keeping a job.

Caring and Committed Representation

We help convince the SSA that your medical condition or injury is real and that you cannot participate in the workforce because of the impact on your life. Our disability lawyers help you prepare for the ALJ hearing, and we handle our own administrative and court appeals of denied claims.

Few firms can match our in-depth medical knowledge, our focused legal experience, or the close relationships we develop with clients. We take the time to understand your condition and build a solid case.

Our Social Security Disability lawyers invite you to call us or contact us online. There is NO OBLIGATION to hire our firm, and there are NO FEES unless we secure your disability benefits.
