federal, and state and local government employers and their workers’ compensation insurers.

We provide the knowledge and legal expertise to make the Social Security disability process less confusing, less intimidating and more convenient for people with disabilities.

Social
Security Claims Process |
| Do not be surprised if you are denied at the initial stage (good reason why it is wise to have an attorney). Only about 40% of the claims are approved at that stage. The next stage, Reconsideration, about 20% of the individuals win at that stage. The last stage, the Hearing stage is where the individual actually has a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge. The hearing is informal with only the judge, his secretary and often times the judge will have a vocational expert present to testify as to what jobs the individual can perform.
