Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Charles Edelson different from other disability attorneys in Beaverton?
Edelson handles Social Security disability, elder law, and workers compensation under one roof. This is particularly useful for older clients whose disability claim may also involve Medicare coordination or retirement benefit questions.
Does Charles Edelson help with elder law in addition to disability?
Yes. His Yelp categories include elder law, so he works with older adults on legal matters beyond just disability benefits, including issues that seniors commonly face when navigating government benefit programs.
What should I do if Social Security denied my disability application?
A denial at the initial stage is common, and most successful claims go through at least one round of appeals. Edelson can help you file a reconsideration request or prepare for a hearing before an administrative law judge, depending on your timeline.
How does workers compensation in Oregon work?
In Oregon, workers compensation provides medical benefits and wage replacement for employees injured on the job. If your claim has been denied or your benefits reduced, an attorney can help you challenge that outcome through the Oregon Workers Compensation Division.
Can I qualify for both Social Security disability and workers compensation at the same time?
Yes, but receiving both can affect your benefit amounts due to offset rules. Charles Edelson is familiar with both systems and can help you understand how to maximize your overall benefits under Oregon and federal law.
How do I reach Charles Edelson for a consultation?
You can call his office directly at (503) 866-3553. Be prepared to describe your situation, including whether your matter involves a disability claim, a workplace injury, or elder law planning, so he can advise you accordingly.
