Our experienced Social Security Disability Lawyers guide you through every phase of the application and appeals process to ensure you receive the full amount of the Social Security Disability benefits you deserve. During this time of physical, emotional and financial turmoil, we will partner with you to ensure that you are well-prepared for your case. Preparation is critical to getting a claim approved quickly. We will be sure that all required forms and supporting documents are completed meticulously and that you get the treatment you need for your condition.

There is no need to leave home or wait in long lines at government offices.  Our team of expert social security disability lawyers and professional staff members will handle all aspects of your social security disability benefits claims: file initial paperwork, request reconsideration of denied social security benefits claims, file appeals, gather medical records. And, we do this work at no cost! Remember, we don't get paid until you do. Statistics show that 60% of Social Security Disability Benefits claims filed without consulting a social security lawyer are declined. As the Social Security Administration's rules and regulations grow increasingly strict to prevent fraudulent social security disability benefits claims, legitimate social security disability applications can be denied due to a minor clerical error. You need to consult with social security attorneys experienced in intricate requirements and successfully navigating through bureaucratic red tape.

How We Help

In winning a social security disability claim, it is not so much the opinion that one is "disabled" that matters. In fact, such an opinion doesn't hold much importance in winning a social security disability claim. What matters most is the assessment of what a claimant is still able to do, and not able to do. Social security examiners, doctors, medical experts or your physicians can provide a "residual functional capacity" assessment, which means that these experts say what you can still do, despite your limitations. This is the stage of the process when it is most important to have legal representation!

One of the major benefits of representation is apparent when determining residual functional capacity for a claimant. Attorneys, like Disability Group lawyers, can provide your treating doctors with detailed forms that ask the right questions to provide a meaningful assessment. After all, judges are no doctors. You may have two degenerated discs in your back, or cardiac problems or affective disorder. But, does it necessarily mean that with treatment, you cannot work at all?

Medical impairment must be translated into functional capacity. So, for example, the forms Disability Group provide are meant to obtain a treating physician's assessment of ability to perform exertional activities, as well as make assessments of non-exertional impairments that affect ability to perform sustained work.
