What If My Claim Was Denied?

Lafayette Lawyer for Social Security Disability Denial

If You Were Denied, We Can Help

Being denied for benefits can be frustrating, especially when you know your disability is legitimate and you need the benefits that federal law provides. While it is disappointing to be turned down by Social Security, it is very common to be denied initially, and a disability lawyer can reposition your case for another try.

Our attorney are highly experienced with the disability appeals process. With over 20 years in practice, we have successfully helped hundreds of disabled people get Social Security benefits after their initial claim was turned down. If your claim was denied, call us at 765-447-5588 to set up a free consultation about your case. We will take the time to sit down with you, understand your medical concerns and carefully explain your options for moving forward.

Get Assistance With Social Security Disability Appeals

If you choose us to represent you, we will give you all the help you need. Our attorney will stay with you from the beginning of your case to the end, helping you complete all the necessary paperwork and medical documentation and going to your administrative hearings with you, whether they are held directly before a judge or, in some cases, done by video. We have assisted many people who have been denied at different levels — initial applications, reconsiderations, administrative hearings and appeals in federal court, as well as cessations — and we can advise you regarding your situation.

A successful disability benefits appeal requires a convincing explanation of a person's medical situation to an administrative law judge (ALJ) with the Social Security Administration, or, if that is unsuccessful, to a Federal District Court judge. Important evidence will include detailed medical treatment records that document the person's disability.

If your claim was denied, our staff can help you gather the necessary medical records and use them in filing the most compelling possible appeal on your behalf. If we handle an appeal for you, we will not charge you a legal fee unless you are awarded benefits. Our fees are based on a government-approved percentage of back benefits that our clients are awarded. If you incur medical record fees, we will bill for those fees when the case is over, to spare you any upfront costs.
