How They Can Help

The firm assists clients at every stage of the Social Security disability process. That includes preparing and submitting initial applications, gathering medical documentation to support a claim, responding to denials with a formal reconsideration request, and representing clients at hearings before an administrative law judge assigned through the SSA's hearing office. For cases that do not resolve at the hearing level, the firm can advise on further review options including the Appeals Council and federal district court.

What to Expect

After reaching out to the office, clients typically discuss the status of their claim, whether it is a new application or an existing denial. The firm will review your medical records, work history, and the specific reasons SSA gave for any denial, then advise you on the strongest path forward. For hearing cases, the attorney will prepare you for what questions to expect and present your medical and vocational evidence to the judge.

Service Area

The firm primarily serves clients in Clinton Township and throughout Macomb County, with accessibility to residents of neighboring communities in the northern Detroit metropolitan area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of disability cases does this office handle?
The firm handles Social Security disability cases, including both SSDI, which is based on your work and earnings history, and SSI, which is based on financial need. These are federal programs administered by the Social Security Administration.
I was denied Social Security disability. How long do I have to appeal?
You generally have 60 days from the date you receive a denial notice to file an appeal. Because missing this deadline can require starting the entire process over, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible after receiving a denial.
What happens at a disability hearing before an administrative law judge?
At the hearing, you and your attorney present evidence supporting your disability claim to an administrative law judge. The judge may question you about your medical conditions, daily activities, and work history. A vocational expert often testifies as well about whether someone with your limitations could perform any jobs.
How does the firm charge for disability representation?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis regulated by federal law, meaning you pay no upfront fee and the attorney only receives payment if you win your case, with the fee capped by SSA rules. You should confirm the specific fee arrangement directly with the office.
Is Clinton Township near the SSA hearing office?
Clinton Township is in Macomb County, which is served by the Social Security Administration's hearing offices in the Detroit area. An attorney familiar with the local SSA offices and procedures can help manage the logistics of your hearing.
Can I apply for disability if I have never worked?
If you have limited or no work history, you may still qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which does not require prior work credits but does have income and asset limits. SSDI requires a sufficient work record, so the right program depends on your individual situation.
