Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Steven W Berg different from a general practice attorney?
His practice is concentrated in disability law, personal injury, and workers compensation, which means his experience is directly relevant to clients dealing with injury-related or medical disability claims rather than a broad mix of unrelated legal matters.
Can Steven W Berg handle my case if I was injured and am now applying for SSDI?
Yes. He handles both personal injury and disability law, so he can address both the injury claim and the Social Security application, which often involve overlapping medical documentation.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI, and which one applies to me?
SSDI is based on your work history and the payroll taxes you paid, while SSI is a needs-based program with income and asset limits. An attorney can review your situation to determine which program you qualify for or whether you may qualify for both.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in Illinois?
Initial decisions can take three to six months, and appeals can add significantly more time. Having an attorney from the start can help avoid procedural delays and strengthen your application early in the process.
Does Steven W Berg charge fees upfront for disability cases?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on contingency, meaning they collect a fee only if you win, with the amount regulated by federal law. Contact the office at (217) 525-1917 to confirm the fee arrangement.
Where is Steven W Berg's office located in Springfield?
His office is at 1217 S 6th St in Springfield, Illinois, which is also the address for Berg & Robeson, located in a convenient area near downtown Springfield.
