Services
SSD Application
Good Neil H assists clients in preparing and submitting initial Social Security Disability applications. Our attorneys ensure all medical documentation and legal requirements are met to maximize approval chances. We guide clients through gathering evidence, completing forms, and meeting deadlines, reducing the risk of denial due to technical errors.
Reconsideration
If your SSD application is denied, we file a request for reconsideration within the 60-day deadline. Our team works with Disability Determination Services to address the initial denials reasons, submitting updated medical records and legal arguments to strengthen your case for approval at this stage.
Hearing Representation
We represent clients at hearings before Administrative Law Judges, preparing them for testimony and presenting compelling evidence. Our attorneys cross-examine witnesses, challenge unfavorable medical opinions, and highlight the severity of disabilities to secure favorable rulings for clients denied at earlier stages.
Appeals Council
When a hearing decision is unfavorable, we appeal to the Social Security Appeals Council. Our lawyers analyze ALJ rulings for legal errors, submit briefs, and request remands or new hearings. This step ensures thorough review of procedural or evidentiary issues affecting your case outcome.
Federal Appeals
We represent clients in federal court appeals after exhausting administrative remedies. Our attorneys file complaints against the Social Security Commissioner, arguing cases before district judges to overturn denials. This final level of review often results in approvals for clients with well-documented disabilities.
