Social Security Disability

Why Should I Hire an Attorney?

While you do not need a lawyer to file for social security, people represented by attorneys typically are more successful in their claims. The process is frustrating and stressful and there is no guarantee that the medical evidence necessary to win your case ever makes it into your case file. Most physicians don’t provide opinions on your functional limitations in their reports.

I will meet with you and discuss your case and help develop a theory to pursue your claim and explain the process to you. I will assist you in the application process, help to obtain the necessary medical reports to support your claim, and strive to obtain opinions from your doctors regarding your functional limitations. I will represent you at a hearing and meet with you before your hearing to prepare your testimony and how to tell your story to the Judge. I will also be there after the hearing to make sure your benefits are paid correctly.

If you have been denied, don’t get frustrated and give-up-call me to discuss whether an appeal of your case is appropriate. I represent individuals in SSDI and SSI cases in upstate New York and will assist you in:
