Learn About The Social Security Disability Claim Process
For most people who obtain benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), it is a long, frustrating process. Fewer than 30 percent of all initial applicants receive benefits the first time they apply. Without the help of an attorney, you risk losing out on SSDI or SSI benefits that you need.

We represent clients throughout the country who need guidance at every stage of the Social Security Disability process.

Helping You At Every Stage Of Your Social Security Claim
We have extensive experience at every step of the SSDI and SSI processes:
- Initial application: Many of our clients are surprised to learn that approximately 70 percent of all SSD claims are denied upon the initial application. We can help you complete the application and file it with the Social Security Administration (SSA).
- Reconsideration: This step in the process is exactly what the name implies. In all but the 11 states that do not have a reconsideration step, the SSA literally reconsiders the claim, starting at the beginning of the process with a different claims examiner. If you do not know whether you are in a state that has reconsideration, contact an attorney to learn more.
- Hearings with the administrative judge: If your claim is denied at the initial application and reconsideration stages, we will appeal that denial and have a hearing with an administrative law judge.
- Appeals: After the hearing, if you are still denied benefits, we will appeal that denial and have a hearing with an administrative law judge.
Wherever you are in your disability claim process, our attorneys will help make the best case for you, so you can get the benefits you need.
