Social Security Disability Lawyer

Getting Social Security Disability benefits from the Social Security Administration can be a long and arduous process. Submitting the forms, medical reports and supporting documentation can seem endless. A Social Security attorney can help you understand the process so that you can submit your application or appeal your denial of benefits.

Often in Social Security Disability cases, having a disability lawyer can mean the difference between getting benefits and not getting benefits. In fact, statistics show that if you have to appeal a benefits denial, your appeal has a greater chance for success if you are represented by a Social Security disability attorney.

To qualify for SSI you do not have to work or pay money into the system and you do not have to be insured. You will, however, have to prove you have VERY limited income and resources to qualify for SSI benefits.
