  If an individual is unable to work due to an injury or a medical condition, he or she could be eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. Our attorneys and paralegals explain the SSD process to our clients and help them apply for those benefits. And, because SSD claims can be hard to prove, it is important to have a knowledgeable law firm working for our clients. Our attorneys have represented disabled workers in Social Security hearings and in federal courts for many, many years and have won benefits for many different kinds of physical and mental disabilities. We take the time to explain the process to our clients and to make sure that our clients understand their rights. Most importantly, we fight to make sure that our clients are awarded any benefits to which they are entitled.
