What We Do
“I’m so grateful. This calls for a happy dance! Thanks!”
When you hire us to represent you in your Social Security disability or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim, you will not be hiring a law firm in Indiana or New York with an attorney you meet for the first time at your hearing. You'll deal directly with a friendly, dedicated staff who are committed to winning your case.
We’ll let Social Security know we’re handling your case and get started on preparing your case for review. We’ll handle any necessary appeals. We do not charge any attorney’s fees unless you win. We’ll take responsibility for all the details of your claim, and we'll keep you informed of your claim's progress every step of the way.

osteoarthritis
rheumatoid arthritis
chronic pain

We meet with you well before your hearing to prepare your for the hearing.

We prepare a written statement (also known as a brief) for the the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) assigned to your case to show the ALJ why your claim should be approved.
