Our firm had a busy 2025 for Social Security Disability (SSD) claims. The Social Security Administration (SSA) went through a lot of changes with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutting staff and field offices, the government closure during October and November and having a new Commissioner in charge. These changes meant our team had to work even harder to keep our clients’ claims moving through the application process and to keep the lines of communication open between clients, SSA offices, and ourselves.
Over 2025 Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys, PLLC, settled 285 claims. On average, each client was awarded $1,540 per month, or $18,500 per year. Since the average age of our clients is 52 years, SSD will provide for them until they reach full retirement age, which means each will receive about $277,500 in benefits until they reach retirement age..
Our hard work certainly paid off — for 285 clients, we obtained $79,087,500 — and that’s a record we’re proud of, especially given the challenges we and our clients faced this past year. Whatever the New Year brings, we will continue to bring our best to the table, and we’ll continue to get great results for clients.
