Yes, the firm works on Social Security disability appeals, including representation at hearings before administrative law judges after an initial denial.

Can this firm help with both a workers comp claim and a Social Security disability claim at the same time?

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?

How long does a Social Security disability appeal take in Oregon?

Wait times vary, but disability hearings before an administrative law judge in Oregon can take anywhere from several months to well over a year depending on the backlog at the relevant hearing office.

Does the firm charge upfront fees for disability cases?

Most Social Security disability attorneys, including those handling cases in Oregon, work on a contingency fee basis regulated by the Social Security Administration, meaning you typically pay nothing unless you win.
