About Metzger Wickersham

Metzger Wickersham maintains an office at 313 W Liberty St, Suite 104 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and offers legal services across three distinct but often overlapping practice areas: Social Security law, personal injury, and workers compensation. For individuals in Lancaster County who are unable to work due to a disability or injury, having attorneys experienced in all three of these areas can be particularly valuable, as claims under these different systems sometimes run concurrently. The firm's inclusion of Social Security law as a named practice area sets it apart from many general injury firms in the Lancaster area. Clients pursuing Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income benefits face a multi-step administrative process that benefits from experienced legal guidance. Metzger Wickersham is positioned to assist clients from the initial application through any necessary appeals before an administrative law judge.

How They Can Help

Metzger Wickersham assists clients with the full spectrum of Social Security disability claims, from preparing and submitting initial applications to representing clients at hearings before administrative law judges when claims are denied. The firm also handles personal injury and workers compensation matters, which means clients who are dealing with both an injury claim and a disability application can work with attorneys who understand how these cases can affect one another. This integrated approach helps clients avoid pitfalls that can arise when different claims are handled in isolation.

What to Expect

New clients at Metzger Wickersham typically begin with a consultation at the West Liberty Street office in Lancaster, where an attorney reviews the details of their situation. For Social Security disability matters, this often means going over the claimant's medical history, work history, and the basis for their disability. The firm then advises on the appropriate next steps, whether that means filing an initial application or challenging a prior denial. Clients receive guidance at each stage and are prepared for what to expect during hearings if the case proceeds to that level.
