”I reached out to Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys after I tried to get approved for SSDI on my own without guidance from a professional, and was denied twice. Their team was very kind, supportive and caring towards my needs. I appreciated the hard work that they put into my case and with that being said, I was finally approved for SSDI! I would HIGHLY recommend this office to my friends and family.

Common Questions
The right Social Security disability attorney can make a difference.
Do I qualify for Social Security disability benefits?
Eligible individuals must meet the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability. Qualified applicants must also have been unable to work for at least one full year and have worked and paid into SSDI for five of the last 10 years.
How long does it take to get disability benefits?
Unfortunately, there is no single answer; disability claim timelines vary. Most initial decisions typically take six to eight months. If your claim is denied and you need to appeal, the process can take longer. With denial rates rising and SSA backlogs growing, having an experienced SSDI lawyer from the start gives your claim the best possible foundation and helps you avoid the delays that come with errors or incomplete documentation.
What do disability lawyers do?
SSDI lawyers build the strongest possible case for your benefits. At Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys, we help clients file initial claims and fight for their benefits through the appeals process. We manage deadlines and paperwork, gather medical evidence, and represent clients at hearings.
How do I appeal an SSA decision?
Most initial Social Security disability applications are denied. To appeal, you must request reconsideration within 60 days of your denial. The process can extend well beyond that, through multiple stages with strict deadlines. Having an experienced SSDI appeal attorney on your side makes all the difference.
