About Shelly Leeke Law Firm

Shelly Leeke Law Firm operates from 147 Commons Way in Greenville, SC, with a practice that explicitly includes Social Security law alongside personal injury and workers compensation. For individuals in the Upstate region who have been denied disability benefits or who are filing for the first time after a disabling condition has prevented them from working, having a firm familiar with Social Security law is a meaningful advantage in a process that can be complex and time-consuming. The firm's combination of Social Security, personal injury, and workers compensation practice areas reflects the reality that many clients facing disability have experienced either a workplace accident or a serious injury that triggered their inability to work. Shelly Leeke Law Firm is equipped to look at a client's situation from multiple angles and identify which legal claims or benefit programs apply, whether that means filing for SSDI, pursuing a workers comp settlement, or bringing a personal injury action.

How They Can Help

Shelly Leeke Law Firm helps clients apply for Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income, assists those who have received denial notices with the appeals process, and also handles personal injury and workers compensation matters. For clients whose disability stems from a job-related injury or someone else's negligence, the firm can pursue those underlying claims while also helping the client navigate the Social Security system, since both processes may be running simultaneously.

What to Expect

When a client contacts Shelly Leeke Law Firm, the firm starts by reviewing the individual's work history, medical condition, and any prior claims or denials to understand where things stand. For Social Security disability cases, this means evaluating whether the client meets the medical and work history requirements, identifying what evidence needs to be submitted, and preparing for hearings before an administrative law judge if an appeal becomes necessary. Clients are kept informed at each stage and are not left to interpret government correspondence on their own.

Service Area

Shelly Leeke Law Firm serves clients in Greenville and throughout Upstate South Carolina, including individuals in surrounding counties who need Social Security disability or injury 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, while SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or elderly.
My Social Security disability claim was denied. Can Shelly Leeke Law Firm help with an appeal?
Yes, appealing a denied disability claim is a significant part of Social Security law practice, and the firm can assist with requesting reconsideration, preparing for hearings before an administrative law judge, and presenting the medical evidence needed to support your case.
Can I file for Social Security disability while also pursuing a workers compensation claim?
It is possible to pursue both at the same time, though receiving workers compensation benefits can affect the amount of Social Security disability benefits you receive, and an attorney can help you understand how the offset rules apply to your situation.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in South Carolina?
Initial applications can take several months for a decision, and if a claim is denied and goes through the appeals process to a hearing, it can take a year or more in total. Having an attorney involved from the start can help avoid unnecessary delays caused by incomplete or poorly documented applications.
Does the firm charge upfront fees for Social Security disability cases?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis that is regulated by the Social Security Administration, meaning fees are only collected if you win your case and are capped by federal rules. You should confirm the exact arrangement with the firm during your consultation.
