About Salus-Law

Salus-Law brings together Social Security law and business law under one roof at its downtown Seattle office on 4th Ave, offering clients access to legal help across two distinct but sometimes overlapping areas of need. The firm's Social Security practice focuses on helping individuals who have been denied disability benefits work through the complex federal appeals process. With 4 Yelp reviews on record, the firm maintains a presence in one of Seattle's most accessible commercial corridors, convenient for clients traveling from across King County. The inclusion of business law in the firm's practice areas means Salus-Law also serves small business owners and entrepreneurs alongside individual disability claimants. This combination can be particularly relevant for self-employed individuals whose businesses have been affected by a disabling condition, as Social Security rules for self-employed applicants involve additional documentation and analysis of work activity. Prospective clients can contact the firm at (206) 485-4066 to learn more about how they approach these intersecting legal needs.

How They Can Help

Salus-Law assists clients through every stage of the Social Security disability process, from preparing an initial application with thorough medical documentation to representing claimants at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge. The firm understands that most initial SSDI and SSI applications are denied, and that building a strong appeal record is often the key to an eventual approval. On the business law side, the firm advises clients on matters that may arise in the course of running a company, providing a broader base of legal support for clients whose professional and personal legal needs are intertwined.

What to Expect

New clients at Salus-Law can expect the firm to begin by reviewing their medical history, work history, and any prior correspondence with the Social Security Administration to understand where the case stands. The attorneys will explain the stage of the process the client is in, whether that is an initial application, a Request for Reconsideration, or a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, and outline what evidence will be most important to develop. Throughout the representation, the firm works to ensure that the SSA's record contains a complete picture of the client's medical condition and its impact on their ability to work.

Service Area

Salus-Law serves clients in Seattle and throughout the greater King County area, with its downtown 4th Ave location making it accessible to individuals from across the Puget Sound region who need Social Security or business law representation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over your career. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources, regardless of work history. Salus-Law can help you determine which program you may qualify for.
My Social Security disability application was denied. What should I do next?
A denial is not the end of the process. Most applicants are denied initially and must go through one or more levels of appeal. You have 60 days from receipt of a denial notice to file the next appeal, so it is important to act quickly and contact an attorney who can help you build a stronger record.
Can Salus-Law help me if I am self-employed and applying for disability benefits?
Yes. Self-employment adds complexity to a disability case because the SSA evaluates your work activity differently than traditional employment. The firm's background in both Social Security law and business law can be useful when documenting how your condition has affected your ability to run your business.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take?
Timelines vary significantly. An initial application can take three to six months for a decision. If appeals are needed, including a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the process can take one to two years or longer depending on the hearing office's backlog. Your attorney can give you a more specific estimate based on your situation.
Does Salus-Law charge fees upfront for Social Security cases?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency basis, meaning they only collect a fee if you win your case. The fee is set by federal law and comes out of back pay you receive. You should confirm the specific fee arrangement directly with the firm during your consultation.
Where is Salus-Law located and how can I reach them?
The firm is located at 1414 4th Ave in downtown Seattle, a central location with access to public transit. You can call them at (206) 485-4066 to schedule a consultation about your Social Security or business law matter.
