SSI and SSDI Claims

Our Newark and Manhattan offices offer assistance in matters related to Social Security.

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.
