How They Can Help

John T. Nicholson's office helps disability applicants through every phase of the Social Security process, from the initial application through reconsideration and Administrative Law Judge hearings. On the personal injury side, the firm assists clients who have been hurt in accidents and need someone to negotiate with insurance companies or pursue litigation to recover damages for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Because disability and personal injury cases often intersect, having one firm handle both can simplify the process for clients whose injuries have caused lasting limitations.

What to Expect

New clients can expect to begin with a consultation where the attorney reviews the facts of your injury or disability, looks at any existing documentation, and explains what steps make sense given where you are in the process. For disability cases, the firm will assess whether you have a pending application, a recent denial, or a hearing coming up and build a plan from there. For personal injury matters, the attorney will evaluate liability, your medical treatment, and the damages you have suffered before advising you on how to proceed.
