About Tonya A. Fedewa PLC

Tonya A. Fedewa PLC is located at 2050 Breton Rd SE, Suite 108, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, placing the firm in a convenient location on the southeast side of one of Michigan's largest cities. Grand Rapids serves as the commercial and legal hub of West Michigan, and this firm provides focused Social Security and disability representation to individuals throughout the region who are unable to work due to a medical condition. The firm's practice is built specifically around Social Security and disability law, which means clients are working with an attorney whose daily focus is on SSA regulations, medical evidence standards, and the hearing process rather than a generalist who handles these cases occasionally. For someone facing the complexity of a denied disability claim or preparing for a hearing, that concentration on this specific area of law matters.

How They Can Help

Tonya A. Fedewa PLC guides clients through each phase of the Social Security disability system. For new applicants, the firm helps build a thorough initial claim by organizing medical records and ensuring that the application reflects the full scope of a client's limitations. For those who have already received a denial, the firm evaluates the SSA's reasoning and prepares a targeted appeal, which may include a formal reconsideration request and, if necessary, a hearing before an administrative law judge at the SSA's Grand Rapids hearing office.

What to Expect

New clients can expect the firm to start with a review of their medical history, work background, and any prior SSA correspondence. From that foundation, the attorney develops a strategy for moving forward, whether that means filing a new claim, responding to a denial, or preparing hearing testimony. Clients are kept informed about what documentation is needed, what the SSA is looking for, and what the timeline looks like at each stage of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Tonya A. Fedewa PLC located in Grand Rapids?
The office is located at 2050 Breton Rd SE, Suite 108, on the southeast side of Grand Rapids, which is accessible from many parts of the city and surrounding suburbs.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is available to people who have worked and paid into Social Security for enough years. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for people with limited income and assets who are disabled, regardless of their work history.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take?
Timelines vary significantly. Initial applications can take several months, and if a denial is issued, the reconsideration and hearing process can extend the total time considerably. Having an attorney helps ensure you meet deadlines and present your case as effectively as possible at each stage.
What kind of medical evidence does SSA require?
The SSA looks for records from treating physicians, specialists, hospitals, and clinics that document your diagnosis, the severity of your condition, and how it limits your ability to work. The firm can help identify gaps in your medical record and advise on how to strengthen your evidentiary file.
Does the firm handle cases that have already been denied more than once?
Yes. Multiple denials are common in the disability system. The firm can review where your case stands and advise whether to pursue further administrative review, request a new hearing, or explore other options depending on the specific circumstances of your claim.
Does Tonya A. Fedewa PLC serve clients outside of Grand Rapids?
Yes. While the office is based in Grand Rapids, the firm serves clients across West Michigan, including Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, and Barry counties, as well as other nearby communities.
