A social security lawyer from our firm will help you find your way through the confusing world of government disability benefits. We can appeal a decision if you have been denied. These benefits are your right. We fight for your rights.
Types of Social Security Benefits
If you can no longer work, there are monthly cash benefits you can receive from the federal government because you have been injured, you have an illness, or you have a medical condition that is getting worse. The Social Security Administration oversees these payments and determines who is eligible. There are two kinds of benefits that a social security lawyer in our firm can help you with.
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): You are “insured" if you have worked for enough years and have paid social security taxes. The amount of money you receive each month is based on your earnings over the past 10 years.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pays benefits based on your financial need. It pays monthly assistance to disabled people who have not worked long enough or paid enough social security taxes to qualify for SSD.

- Someone (often a doctor) who knows about your medical conditions.
- The names of medicines you are taking and who prescribed them.
- Names and dates of medical tests you have had and who sent you for them.

- Information about any insurance or workers' compensation claims you filed.
