How They Can Help

Zea Proukou helps clients apply for Social Security disability benefits and navigate the often lengthy appeals process when claims are denied. For workers who have suffered on-the-job injuries, Proukou provides representation through the New York State workers compensation system, including appearances at hearings before the Workers Compensation Board. When a client's situation involves both a workplace injury and a long-term disability, Proukou can address how benefits from both programs may apply to their circumstances.
