| Common Client Questions What is your experience? I have represented disabled people since 1984. Does it cost me anything to call you? No. Is there any obligation if I call you? No. I would like an opportunity to talk to you about your case. Do you win most of your cases? Yes. I had better win most of my cases since I do not get paid unless you win. My success is tied to yours. What is your fee? Usually 25% of any back pay. This fee is the same for all attorneys across the United States because the U.S. government sets the fee. Do I owe you anything if we do not win? No. |
Social Security Disability Claims
If you have been injured or have an illness that prevents you from working, you may have a right to collect Social Security Disability benefits. If you have filed a claim and your claim has been denied, don't get discouraged. You have a right to a hearing before a United States Judge.This office can help you win at that hearing.
This office has over 20 years of experience representing individuals in Social Security Disability disputes. We work with clients throughout southeastern Michigan and the thumb. Contact us to arrange a confidential consultation.
The Social Security Disability system was established to provide benefits to individuals who cannot work due to illness or injury. To qualify, your injury does not have to be work-related. Your disability must, however, prevent you from working in any capacity for at least 12 months. Your claim can be denied if the government determines that you can still work, even though you have physical limitations.
When this office represents you, it will fully prepare your case and work with your doctor to prove you are unable to work in any job, based on the nature of your disability.
File Your Claim Immediately
If you have been injured or have been diagnosed with an illness that prevents you from working, you should file a claim for Social Security Disability benefits as soon as possible. If you have filed a claim and it has been denied, you must appeal the claim within 65 days or you will lose your rights to a review of the denial.
Qualifying For Social Security Disability Benefits
To qualify for benefits, you must have a severe impairment. A severe impairment may include the following:
You may also qualify for benefits if you have physical limitations that affect your ability to work, such as shortness of breath, pain, the inability to lift moderate objects or the inability to sleep because of pain.
I would apprciate the opportunity to talk to you if you are unable to work because of illness or injury and want experienced legal counsel to protect your interests. You can contact this office for a confidential consultation.
