Friedman Law Firm
Social Security Disability Lawyers
Social Security Disability Lawyers
Whether due to a sudden injury, debilitating illness or chronic condition, an inability to work almost always creates a pressing need for income from some other source. For many people in these circumstances, the primary source of financial support is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Things You Need to Know Before Applying for Social Security Disability
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is the federal agency responsible for evaluating disability claims and distributing benefit payments to people who meet established, detailed criteria. While this government program helps millions of Americans and their families, the steps required and hurdles to clear can be very imposing.
Do You Need to Apply for Disability Benefits?
For people unable to work, navigating the Social Security Disability process isn’t easy and hiring a lawyer is a big decision. Often times, people begin the process or obtain representation and have no idea what they are getting themselves into.
Whether you decide to hire Friedman Law Firm or not, we wanted to help you better understand the legal process and the role of a Social Security Disability Attorney.
Has Your Claim Been Denied?
A high percentage of applications for SSDI benefits are initially denied, and avoiding the delay and hardship this causes or getting a claim denial reversed on appeal often requires a skilled disability attorney. At Friedman Law Firm, P.C., we can provide a thorough assessment of your claim at any point in the process and take decisive action if you qualify for benefits.
Led by founding partner Douglas I. Friedman, who is a nationally recognized thought leader on issues related to disability insurance, our Birmingham Social Security disability attorneys focus their professional energies intently on helping people get the benefits they need.
In-Depth Knowledge to Analyze, Prepare and Pursue Your SSDI Claim
We assist clients with proper preparation of initial SSDI applications, and we also pursue hearings and appeals when valid claims are denied.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Claims
Our disability attorneys also help people with disabilities who have not paid enough into the system but qualify for benefits under a separate program called Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Experience with Disability Law
We shape our efforts based on extensive knowledge of the SSA's criteria and processes, achieving a high rate of success through careful evaluation and diligence every step of the way. In thousands of cases, we have navigated SSA processes successfully and obtained benefits for our clients.
