Services
Social Security Disability
We help clients qualify for Social Security Disability benefits when medical conditions prevent work. Our attorneys handle applications, appeals, and hearings with the Social Security Administration. With board-certified specialists, we ensure proper medical documentation and legal arguments to maximize approval chances for clients facing financial hardship due to disability.
Veterans Disability
Our team assists veterans in securing disability compensation for service-connected injuries or illnesses. We handle appeals of denied claims and work to increase low disability ratings. With deep understanding of VA regulations, we prepare strong cases supported by medical evidence to help veterans receive the benefits they deserve for their service-related health conditions.
Disability Appeals
When initial disability applications get denied, our attorneys manage the appeals process. We prepare legal arguments, gather additional evidence, and represent clients at hearings before administrative law judges. With extensive experience in appellate procedures, we significantly improve clients' chances of overturning denial decisions at reconsideration and hearing levels.
Hearing Representation
Our board-certified attorneys provide expert representation at disability hearings. We prepare clients through mock sessions, coordinate medical records, and present compelling cases to judges. With decades of combined experience, we understand what evidence and arguments resonate with decision-makers, significantly improving approval rates for clients facing their most critical disability claim stage.
Medical Evidence Coordination
We handle all aspects of medical documentation collection and organization. Our team works directly with healthcare providers to obtain records, secure specialized evaluations, and ensure complete evidence submission. This critical service reduces client burden while creating comprehensive medical narratives that strengthen disability claims throughout the application and appeals processes.

Questions
What medical conditions qualify for Social Security Disability?
Qualifying conditions include physical impairments like joint disorders, chronic illnesses, and mental health conditions that prevent substantial gainful activity. Our attorneys help evaluate your specific diagnosis against SSA criteria.
How much does a disability lawyer cost?
We work on contingency - you pay nothing unless we win your case. Attorney fees are limited to 25% of back pay awarded, with a statutory maximum of $6,000.
Can I apply for disability benefits online?
Yes, but we recommend working with our attorneys to complete applications. We ensure proper documentation and avoid common errors that cause initial denials.
What happens if my disability claim gets denied?
Most initial claims get denied. We handle appeals at all levels, including reconsideration, hearings, and federal court litigation to challenge wrongful denials of valid claims.
How long does the disability process take?
Initial decisions take 3-5 months. Appeals add 12-18 months on average. Our experienced team expedites processes through proper documentation, with some clients receiving benefits in five months.
Do I need a lawyer for my disability hearing?
While not required, representation significantly improves approval chances. Our attorneys prepare clients through mock hearings and present compelling evidence to judges.
