To begin a Social Security Disability case, you must file an application at your local Social Security field office. You can file in person, online, or reach out to our office. We like to get involved early to help develop your case for the best chance of success. If your initial application is denied, you can file a request for reconsideration at the same field office. Hiring us from the beginning means we will assist you throughout the entire process.

If you receive a denial of your reconsideration request, the case is transferred to the hearing office for a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. It is vital to have an attorney experienced in Social Security law represent you at your hearing.
