Social Security Disability Attorney
A Social Security disability attorney is generally consulted at a very difficult point in a client’s life. Social Security Disability law is complex and requires an attorney who concentrates a portion of his or her practice on this specific area.
The very nature of disability claims means they are coming at a trying time for an individual and his or her family. When people are rendered unable to earn an income and they require Social Security disability benefits for themselves and/or their dependents, they need to know that their attorney is experienced in this area of the law in order to help them obtain the benefits they are entitled to.
Each Social Security disability attorney at Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law is experienced in this area of the law and understands the complexities of the Social Security disability system. They have the experience and the knowledge to provide our clients with sound legal advice and a firm grasp of the process to be approved for benefits.
Every Social Security disability attorney at our firm takes the time to sympathize with the situation our clients find themselves in. It is only after attaining this full understanding that your attorney will be able to develop the theory of the case that will guide your claim. This theory of the case includes several components. Some of the components include: the Listings, the Grids, the Treating Physician Rule, and the Sit Stand Rule.
When you meet with your Social Security disability attorney you will be given more information regarding these four components.
When we refer to “the Listings,” we are referring to the listing of qualifying ailments maintained by Social Security which have been deemed to render someone sufficiently disabled and, therefore, have warranted benefits.
Your Social Security disability attorney will also be able to explain to you the Treating Physician Rule. This applies if your treating physician renders you disabled and can back this up with evidence (e.g. medical tests, x-rays, etc.). In such cases, Social Security is required to give substantial weight to the opinion of the treating physician.
Another component that can be explained by a Social Security disability attorney from our firm is the Sit Stand Rule. This rule refers to people who are either unable to stand or unable to sit for specific periods of time, rendering them incapable of working and earning an income based on their experience, occupation, and so forth.
Unfortunately, the complexities of the Social Security disability system make it difficult for many people to maneuver within it. All too often, many people have their initial claims denied due to the intricate structure of the system and its forms.
Selecting a Social Security disability attorney who has experience with these types of cases will generally improve a client’s likelihood of success if, in fact, the client is entitled to disability benefits.
Each Social Security disability attorney at Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law views our clients as people and families, rather than files and cases. Every case is handled professionally and with the sensitivity each client deserves.
