Frequently Asked Questions

Does Edward Zetlin Law handle both SSDI and SSI cases?
Yes. The firm works with clients on both Social Security Disability Insurance claims, which are based on work history, and Supplemental Security Income claims, which are based on financial need and disability status.
Can this firm help me with estate planning at the same time as my disability case?
That is one of the advantages of working with Edward Zetlin Law. Because the firm handles both disability law and estate planning, clients can address their immediate claim alongside longer-term planning needs like wills, powers of attorney, or special needs trusts.
What is a special needs trust and do I need one?
A special needs trust is a legal tool that lets someone with a disability hold assets without losing eligibility for government benefits like SSI or Medicaid. Whether you need one depends on your financial situation, and the firm can walk you through that analysis.
Is the firm located near public transportation in Arlington?
The office is on South Woodstock Street in Arlington, Virginia, which is accessible from several major roadways in the area. You can call the firm at (703) 379-0442 to ask about parking or transit options before your visit.
What should I bring to my first meeting about a disability claim?
It helps to bring any denial letters from Social Security, medical records or doctor information related to your condition, and a basic summary of your work history. The more context you can provide upfront, the more useful your initial consultation will be.
Does Edward Zetlin Law help with disability appeals after a denial?
Yes. Appeals are a significant part of disability practice. The firm can help you understand where your case stands in the appeals process and represent you at hearings before an administrative law judge if needed.
