Our practice is limited to disability cases, and we understand that our disabled clients are in a very difficult situation. When they come to us, our clients have lost their health, their income and their health insurance. Some are even on the verge of losing their homes. Our job is to help disabled people regain their financial stability and dignity by helping them get the disability benefits that they deserve.
We are dedicated to this work and take great personal satisfaction in it. After more than 30 years of helping disabled people get their Social Security disability benefits, we have experience with all sorts of cases and all types of disabilities. We have represented Social Security disability claimants with every kind of physical and mental impairment.
We are also alert to the constant changes in the federal Social Security regulations that govern Social Security disability benefits. We develop the medical evidence needed to best present disability cases to the Social Security Administration.
