About Jackson & MacNichol

Jackson and MacNichol operates out of South Portland, Maine, just across the bridge from Portland, giving the firm a practical location for clients throughout Cumberland County and beyond. The firm dedicates its practice exclusively to Social Security law, which means every aspect of how they work, from the intake process to hearing preparation, is built around disability claims rather than divided across multiple legal areas. South Portland is part of the greater Portland metropolitan area, and many residents in this region face the challenging process of applying for and appealing Social Security disability benefits. Jackson and MacNichol's toll-free number at (800) 524-3339 reflects the firm's intent to be reachable for clients across Maine, not just those who can easily visit the Western Avenue office in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you paid over your career, while SSI is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources who may not have enough work credits for SSDI.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in Maine?
Timelines vary significantly depending on where you are in the process, but cases that go to the hearing level before an administrative law judge can take a year or more from the initial application.
Does Jackson and MacNichol only handle Social Security cases?
Yes, the firm focuses exclusively on Social Security law, which means its resources and knowledge are concentrated specifically on disability claims.
What if I have already been denied twice? Can I still get help?
