Ryan & Ryan

Ryan and Ryan is based at 535 S Burdick St, Suite 115 in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan, putting them close to the federal and state agencies that disability and injury clients frequently deal with. The firm's Yelp categories include Social Security Law, which means they are set up to handle the full range of SSDI and SSI matters, from initial applications through administrative law judge hearings at the Social Security Administration. Having Social Security disability as a named practice area alongside personal injury and workers compensation gives them a well-rounded view of how injuries and disabilities overlap in their clients' lives. Many people who seek Social Security disability benefits have already been through a workers compensation claim or a personal injury case, and Ryan and Ryan's coverage of all three areas means clients do not have to coordinate between separate firms. Whether a client is filing for the first time, appealing a denial, or preparing for a hearing before an ALJ, the firm can be reached at (269) 381-0142 to walk through the specifics of a given situation.

Ryan and Ryan assists clients with the entire Social Security disability process, from preparing and submitting initial SSDI or SSI applications to representing claimants at hearings before Administrative Law Judges in Michigan. On the injury side, the firm pursues compensation for clients hurt in accidents or workplace incidents, handling negotiations with insurers and pursuing claims through the appropriate legal channels under Michigan law.

A new client at Ryan and Ryan can expect the firm to start by reviewing the medical evidence, work history, and prior claim history that are central to any Social Security disability case. The attorneys then identify the strongest arguments for why a claimant meets the SSA's definition of disability, handle all written submissions, and prepare clients for what to expect at any hearings. For injury cases, the process shifts toward evidence gathering and demand negotiations, but the firm handles communication with the other side throughout.

Ryan and Ryan serves clients in Kalamazoo and across southwest Michigan, including surrounding counties where Social Security disability hearings and injury claims arise.
