SSI and SSDI Claims
Our Newark and Manhattan offices offer assistance in matters related to Social Security. We are available to help clients file and pursue Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claims. If your claim has been turned down by the U.S. Social Security Administration, we offer legal counsel through all four stages of the administrative appeal process. If necessary, we also appeal claims in Federal court.
Long-Term Disability Claims
Our law firm handles long-term disability claims. We work with clients who have been denied benefits in a long-term disability claim by a private or work-related insurer. We meet with our clients, helping them understand the law and working towards a successful administrative hearing, settlement negotiation, or courtroom appeal.
