How They Can Help

At The Law Office of Christopher Mukon, clients seeking Social Security disability benefits get help preparing their claims, building the necessary medical evidence, and navigating the appeals process if they receive a denial. For those who have been injured in accidents, the firm handles personal injury cases to pursue compensation for damages. The criminal defense side of the practice means the firm is equipped to assist clients who are facing charges in addition to other legal challenges.

What to Expect

New clients typically begin with a consultation where the attorney reviews the details of their situation and identifies which legal avenues are available. For disability cases, this includes looking at your medical history and work record to assess eligibility for SSDI or SSI. The firm then guides clients through each step, from filing the initial application to preparing for an administrative hearing if the claim is contested. Personal injury and criminal defense clients go through a separate process appropriate to those case types.

Can I file for Social Security disability if I was injured in a personal injury accident?

What is the Social Security disability process like in New York?
You start by filing an application with the SSA. If denied, you can request reconsideration and then an ALJ hearing. New York claimants often face long wait times for hearings, so having an attorney prepare your case thoroughly from the beginning can matter.
How did the firm earn its 5-star Yelp rating?

Is the firm able to handle both my disability claim and a criminal matter at the same time?
The firm does handle both practice areas, so it is worth discussing your full situation during a consultation. Whether one attorney handles both or coordinates with another within the office is something to clarify directly with the firm.
What should I bring to my first meeting with a disability attorney?
Bring any medical records you have, information about your work history, documentation of any prior SSA filings or denial letters, and a list of your treating doctors and medications. The more information you can provide upfront, the more useful the consultation will be.
