Appealing a Social Security Disability Denial
SSD Claim Denied? Let a Trusted, Aggressive SSD Attorney Fight For Your Rights!
For decades, we've been successfully appealing denied SSD claims. We're ready to pursue the Social Security payments you deserve as well, including representing you at a hearing if that's what it takes. We represent our clients at appeal hearings all the time, handling all the paperwork, legal forms and medical documentation required. If you take on an SSD appeal case on your own, it's very likely you'll have your SSD claim denied a second time due to common SSD application mistakes or not enough medical evidence.
A Tough Disability Lawyer Can Ensure That Denied SSD Claims are Reversed at the Hearing
Social Security Disability hearings are less formal than typical court hearings, usually lasting less than an hour. The Administrative Law Judge may wear traditional black robes and sit behind a judge's bench, but an SSD hearing is fairly relaxed and you may dress neatly, but casually. Sometimes SSD hearings are held in a hotel or bank conference room, or may be held via video-conferencing. Whatever format, your SSD hearing can be a key aspect of fighting a denied SSD claim and it is vital that you hire a real Social Security Disability lawyer and not an SSD "advocate." They may not have the experience and background that you need to get your desired results.
Don't Go Into an SSD Appeal Hearing Alone-Call an Experienced Law Firm
There could also be other participants at your Social Security hearing, including a medical expert, a court reporter and a vocational expert (VE). Before the hearing, we'll prepare you for what to expect and go over your testimony. When the hearing starts, the court reporter will swear in all parties and the judge will most likely ask you questions about your injuries or illness, and mobility and performance limitations it caused. In some cases, the judge won't ask you any questions during the SSD appeal hearing, instead talking only to the Social Security Disability lawyer, who will speak on your behalf. The judge may ask the VE what type of work someone in your situation could handle. But the judge will usually give you the chance to speak at the end if we, as your attorney, feel that your testimony would help your denied SSD benefits claim case.
