Many of our clients feel overwhelmed and uncertain when filing for benefits. This is understandable, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) has strict guidelines to prevent fraudulent claims.

Our Richmond Social Security Disability Services

Initial Disability Claims & Appeals

Applying for disability benefits can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. We help with Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims. We offer skilled representation at every stage, from your first application to each level of appeal.

The Appeals Process: How We Help After a Denial

Many claimants are denied benefits the first time they apply, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. If your claim was denied, our disability appeals attorneys can help you:

• Understand the SSA’s reasoning for the denial and identify what’s missing or misunderstood in your application
• Gather additional medical records and evidence
• File a Request for Reconsideration, the first step in the appeals process
• Prepare for an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing (if you’re denied at the reconsideration level)
• Cross-examine medical and vocational experts and make legal arguments in your favor before the judge
• Help file an Appeals Council review or even a federal court appeal (if denied at the hearing level)

Our Social Security Disability appeals attorneys in Richmond thoroughly understand the appeals process. We have successfully reversed many denials for our clients.
