Social Security denies disability applications just when people need their benefits the most. You've paid your employment taxes your whole working life. It's time for Social Security to live up to its end of the bargain. Don't let them take away your benefits..
Schedule a Free ConsultUnlike some who advertise, I am a local attorney. I have been practicing law and representing disabled or injured clients for over 25 years. You can make an appointment to come see me whenever its convenient. If you prefer, we can do everything by telephone or video conference (except, of course, the Hearing). We will meet and prepare at least a couple of times before the Hearing to make sure you are ready, know what to expect, and know how to handle yourself. And unlike some representatives, I don't limit my practice to the easy cases just so I can claim a higher win rate.
1. Your Benefits: You've paid into the system with every paycheck that had taxes taken out. Social Security has taken its share every time. Now that your ill or injured, and your doctor agrees that you cannot return to work, it's time for your benefits to be approved.
2. Hire a Lawyer: Schedule a free consultation, below. Obviously I want to represent people (it's my job), but I am willing to meet with you for free, just to talk about your case, how strong it is, what can be done to make it stronger, and what you can expect from the process.
3. Attorney Fees: I get paid only when we win your case. And my fees are closely regulated by Social Security. I limit my fee to no more than 25% of past due benefits; I never charge a fee on your continuing monthly benefits after we win; and my fee is capped at $6,000.
4: Fighting on Appeal: Call for an appointment or appeal packet, while there's still time remaining after your denial. There's no reason to give in, and no reason to appear without an attorney at your side.

Read MoreAnyone who has been through the disabiltiy hearing process knows its a lengthy process. From application to hearing took almost 2 years. Wish they could have made it faster. It was easy to get in for appointments and go over how to win my case. Attorney paid attention and answered my questions, explained the process, and let me know what to expect at the hearing when we finally got to it.
Awesome! Without him I wouldn't have won my case!
Chris has been a very present surprise. So far my case has been pretty straight forward through work. Chris has reviewed Doc's and expand things to me. So far he has not charged anything for services and says we will square up at the end. I think he is a hell. of a good guy.
To the point, professional and got me results with my lawsuit quickly...
Obviously, I want to represent people who need to appeal social security disability denials. But I am willing to talk to you, and go over your case, the procedures, the inclinations of the Judges, etc, without charge. Hopefully after talking to me, you'll want me to represent you. But if not, I still won't charge you.
