Initial Applications
I help you prepare and file a complete, well-documented application, giving your claim the strongest possible foundation from day one.
Services
Legal support at every stage.
From the initial application through appeals, I represent clients seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
Reconsideration Appeals
If your initial claim was denied, I review the decision, gather additional medical evidence, and file a timely appeal on your behalf.
ALJ Hearing Representation
With roughly 1,000 hearings of experience, including time advising judges directly, I prepare your testimony and present your case clearly.
Appeals Council & Federal Court
If a hearing decision is unfavorable, I evaluate next steps, including requests for Appeals Council review or federal court appeal.
SSDI Claims
Benefits based on your work history and prior Social Security contributions, for adults who can no longer work due to disability.
SSI Claims
Needs-based benefits for disabled adults and children with limited income and resources, regardless of work history.
Who I represent
Adults and children, many different impairments.
I have extensive experience representing claimants with physical, mental, and combined impairments, including musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular conditions, mental health conditions, autoimmune disease, and childhood disability claims for SSI.
