About The Law Firm of Amale Knox

The Law Firm of Amale Knox is based in Pontiac, Michigan, and brings a concentrated focus to Social Security disability and disability law matters.

The firm currently carries a 5-star rating on Yelp, which reflects early client feedback on the quality of service provided. For Oakland County residents dealing with a disability that prevents them from working, the Law Firm of Amale Knox offers local, dedicated legal representation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

How They Can Help

The firm helps clients at every stage of the Social Security disability process, whether they are filing for the first time or fighting a denial that has already gone through reconsideration. Social Security disability cases often require building a strong medical record, understanding how the SSA evaluates a claimant's residual functional capacity, and presenting that evidence effectively at a hearing. The Law Firm of Amale Knox works to make sure clients understand what the agency is looking for and that their documentation supports the full extent of their limitations. For SSI claimants, the firm also addresses the financial eligibility rules that accompany medical eligibility requirements.

What to Expect

When you contact the Law Firm of Amale Knox, the first step is a review of where your claim currently stands, whether it is a new filing, a pending reconsideration, or an upcoming hearing before an Administrative Law Judge in the Detroit area hearing offices. The firm will identify what medical evidence is on file, what gaps need to be addressed, and what arguments are most likely to succeed given the specifics of your condition. Clients are guided through each step, including gathering records from treating physicians, preparing for hearing testimony, and understanding how benefit amounts are calculated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of disability cases does the Law Firm of Amale Knox handle?
The firm focuses on Social Security disability law, including SSDI and SSI claims, denials, reconsiderations, and hearings before Administrative Law Judges.
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. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for those with limited income and resources. Some people qualify for both at the same time.
My disability claim was denied. Is it too late to get help?
No. Most denials can be appealed within 60 days of receiving the decision. The firm can review your denial and help determine whether reconsideration or a hearing request is the right next step.
How does the firm charge for disability representation?
Social Security disability attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. The fee is capped by federal law, so there are no upfront costs to get started.
How long does it take to get a disability hearing in the Pontiac or Detroit area?
Wait times vary depending on the hearing office caseload, but hearings before an Administrative Law Judge can take a year or more after a denial. Getting an attorney involved early can help ensure your file is complete and your case is presented as strongly as possible.
Can the firm help if I was already approved for benefits but received an overpayment notice?
Yes. Overpayment disputes are a real issue for many beneficiaries, and the firm can assist with challenging or negotiating overpayment claims with the Social Security Administration.
