Social Security
If your medical conditions prevent you from working, you may be entitled to benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Employment Disability
Employers often make available short-term disability (STD) and/or long-term disability (LTD) benefits to their employees.
Railroad Disability
Railroad employees and disabled spouses may be entitled to disability benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB).
Federal Disability
Are you eligible for a disability claim? Have you already filed and been denied? Every case is different and the process can be complicated.
Our clients are like family.
“I retained this firm for help with a long-term disability appeal. Kyle was very responsive, up front, professional, and on top of my case from the very beginning. He explained things well. He answered all of my questions and kept me informed along the way. I would definitely retain his services again if needed.”
“I have called this law firm on a few different occasions and have gotten advice during very hard, difficult times in my life, despite not being a client. Not only advice, but today I needed help filling out some paperwork. Their team was there for me today when I needed help and they did not charge me any fee for their services. I am overjoyed by the kindness that they gave me today when I went in to fill out some paperwork. I highly recommend this law firm as their team is always so helpful, patient, and kind.”
