Donald R. Bleier

Donald R. Bleier maintains a focused Social Security law practice from his downtown Rochester office at 45 Exchange Blvd, Suite 625. By concentrating exclusively on Social Security law, he is able to provide clients with representation that is specifically tailored to the Social Security Administration's rules, deadlines, and hearing procedures rather than splitting attention across multiple unrelated practice areas. Rochester is home to a significant working population, and many residents find themselves facing long-term illness or disability that prevents them from continuing their careers. Donald R. Bleier works with these individuals to help them understand their options under Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs, and to present their cases effectively at each level of the SSA's review process.

Donald R. Bleier helps clients throughout the Social Security disability process, from filing the initial application to representing them at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge. Many disability claims are denied on the first application, and having legal representation during the appeals process can make a meaningful difference in outcomes. Bleier assists clients in building their medical record documentation, preparing for ALJ hearings, and, when necessary, pursuing appeals to the federal district court level.

If you contact Donald R. Bleier's office at (585) 454-2190, the process typically begins with a review of your medical situation and work history to determine whether you may qualify for SSDI or SSI benefits. From there, Bleier can assist with filing your initial claim or, if you have already been denied, guide you through the reconsideration or hearing appeal stages. Clients are kept informed about where their case stands within the SSA process and what documentation will be needed at each step.

Donald R. Bleier serves Social Security disability claimants in Rochester, Monroe County, and surrounding areas of upstate New York.
