How They Can Help

The Law Offices of James S. Aven assists clients with the full range of Social Security disability filings, from initial applications for SSDI and SSI through the appeals process if a claim is denied. The firm also represents clients in personal injury matters and workers compensation disputes, which frequently intersect with disability claims when a serious injury prevents someone from returning to work. Having all three areas under one roof allows the firm to see how these legal tracks affect each other and advise clients accordingly.

What to Expect

Prospective clients who call (508) 586-0800 will go through an intake process where the attorney reviews the medical history, work history, and current limitations relevant to the disability claim or injury case. For Social Security disability matters, this involves examining the five-step sequential evaluation process used by the Social Security Administration and identifying where your case fits. The firm then prepares documentation, communicates with the SSA or relevant insurers, and represents you at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge if your case reaches that stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of disability claims does the Law Offices of James S. Aven handle?
The firm handles Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applications, reconsideration requests after initial denials, and hearings before Administrative Law Judges.
My disability claim was denied. Can James S. Aven still help me?
Yes. Many successful disability cases go through at least one denial before being approved. The firm can review the denial notice, identify grounds for appeal, and represent you through the reconsideration and hearing stages of the process.
Can I pursue both a workers compensation claim and a Social Security disability claim at the same time?
Yes, and it is actually common. A serious workplace injury may qualify you for both workers compensation benefits under Massachusetts law and Social Security disability benefits through the federal SSA program. The firm handles both areas and can explain how an offset provision may apply.
How much does it cost to hire a Social Security disability attorney?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis regulated by the SSA. Fees are only collected if you win, and are capped by federal rules at 25 percent of back pay up to a set maximum. The firm can explain the exact fee structure during your consultation.
Where is the office located and is it accessible by public transit?
The office is at 1342 Belmont St, Suite 302 in Brockton, MA. Brockton has local bus service through the GATRA and BAT transit systems, which may provide access to the Belmont Street corridor.
How long does the Social Security disability process take in Massachusetts?
Timelines vary significantly. An initial decision can take three to six months, and if you appeal to the hearing level, wait times before an Administrative Law Judge in Massachusetts have historically ranged from several months to over a year depending on the backlog at the hearing office.
