What Working With Us Looks Like
A general view of how a matter moves through our office. The exact steps vary depending on the stage your case is in when we first speak.
We begin with a focused conversation about your situation, your health, and the timeline of what has happened so far.
We review any notices, records, and prior filings to understand where your matter currently stands and what is still required.
We organize the evidence and documentation that support your case, and we explain each step before it is taken.
We present your case clearly and respectfully at each stage of the process, keeping you informed throughout.
Eligibility and Case Evaluation
Disability claims rely on a combination of medical, vocational, and procedural factors. Before we can take on a matter, we look at the stage your case is in, the documentation that exists, the deadlines ahead, and the broader picture of your situation.
During an initial conversation, we will ask focused questions and let you know honestly whether we believe we can help. If we do not think we are the right fit for your matter, we will say so directly.
The firm assists with disability-related claims and appeals. The Services page lists the categories we typically work with. If your situation is not listed, you are welcome to contact us and we will let you know whether we can help or recommend another resource.
A denial is not the end of the process. There are formal opportunities to request reconsideration and to appeal, each with its own deadline. We help review the denial notice, identify what additional evidence may be needed, and prepare a thorough response within the applicable timeframes.
Some claims are resolved without a hearing, but others are decided by an administrative law judge after a hearing. If a hearing is required, we explain what to expect, prepare you for any testimony, and represent you throughout the process.
Please tell us about any accommodations that would be helpful. We make a sincere effort to communicate in ways that work for your situation, including alternative scheduling and accessible communication methods where possible.
Next Step
We listen carefully, explain what we see, and let you know how we can help. There is no obligation to retain the firm after an initial conversation.
