About Advocates for the Voiceless

Advocates for the Voiceless is based in Riverdale Park, Maryland, just off Baltimore Avenue near the Prince George's County corridor. The firm's practice is built entirely around Social Security Law and Disability Law, meaning their attention stays fixed on the federal benefit systems that matter most to people who can no longer work due to a medical condition. Because the firm has not yet accumulated a public review history on Yelp, it can be helpful for those interested to call directly at (202) 796-0436 to discuss their situation and get a sense of how the firm approaches cases. Choosing a firm that handles only disability law can be an advantage, since the attorneys build deep familiarity with SSA regulations, medical evidence standards, and the hearing process at the Office of Hearings Operations.

How They Can Help

The firm handles the full range of Social Security disability matters, from preparing initial applications with the Social Security Administration to representing clients at reconsideration, Administrative Law Judge hearings, and Appeals Council review. A strong application requires organizing medical records, obtaining treating physician statements, and framing a claimant's limitations in the specific language SSA evaluators look for, and that is the kind of work this firm focuses on daily.

What to Expect

When you contact Advocates for the Voiceless, you can expect an initial conversation about your medical history, your work background, and where your claim stands in the SSA process. From there, the firm will explain what evidence is needed, handle communication with the Social Security Administration on your behalf, and keep you informed as your case moves through each stage, whether that means waiting on an initial decision, preparing for a hearing, or pursuing further review.

The firm is located at 6200 Baltimore Ave in Riverdale Park, Maryland, accessible from much of Prince George's County and the D.C. area.
How do I know if I qualify for SSDI or SSI?
SSDI is based on your work history and Social Security earnings record, while SSI is need-based and tied to income and assets. An attorney at this firm can review your situation and tell you which program, or both, may apply to you.

How does the firm charge for disability representation?
Most Social Security disability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. The fee is typically a percentage of any back pay awarded, subject to a federal cap. Call the firm to discuss their specific fee arrangement.
How long does a Social Security disability case usually take?
Timelines vary significantly. Initial decisions can take three to six months, and if a hearing is required, the wait can extend to a year or more depending on the hearing office. An attorney can help move things along by ensuring your file is complete and properly documented.
