Services
Long-Term Disability Insurance
We specialize in long-term disability insurance claims, helping clients navigate complex policy provisions and insurer requirements. Our contingency-based representation ensures financial accessibility while our direct attorney-client relationship guarantees personalized strategy development. Through thorough documentation and proactive case management, we maximize recovery probabilities for clients unable to work due to qualifying conditions.
ERISA Claims
Handling ERISA-governed claims requires understanding employer-discretion interpretation and limited judicial review parameters. We guide clients through administrative appeals to create complete claim records. Our approach emphasizes evidentiary development during initial stages to strengthen positions against insurer denials, leveraging decades of experience with self-insured plan challenges under this federal statute.
Social Security Disability
We represent clients in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) matters, focusing on eligibility criteria and evidentiary requirements. Our practice addresses common denial patterns related to subjective symptoms and mental health claims. Through strategic administrative hearing preparation, we help clients overcome initial denials and secure benefits they deserve based on medical documentation.
Administrative Appeals
Our administrative appeals process emphasizes comprehensive record creation through medical evidence compilation and vocational assessments. We exploit procedural weaknesses in initial denials while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. The contingency model ensures alignment with client outcomes, with success rates demonstrating effectiveness in overturning erroneous benefit decisions during administrative review stages.
Case Management
We implement streamlined case management through direct attorney oversight, avoiding staff delegation that could compromise quality. The moderate caseload model allows focused attention on evidentiary development and timely response to procedural deadlines. This approach ensures optimal resource allocation for each client's unique medical circumstances and claim complexity.

Questions
What types of disability claims do you handle?
We handle all disability benefit categories including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), ERISA-covered private insurance, and long-term disability claims.
How does your contingency fee structure work?
Clients pay no upfront fees - our legal fees come from successful recovery amounts. If we don't win your case, you owe nothing for legal services.
Why is legal representation important for ERISA claims?
ERISA cases have strict procedural requirements that limit judicial review options. Early legal involvement ensures proper claim development since courts typically only consider evidence submitted during initial administrative review.
What makes Social Security disability cases challenging?
Subjective symptom claims (like chronic pain or mental health conditions) face higher scrutiny. We specialize in documenting these cases to overcome credibility challenges during the multi-stage review process.
How do you differ from larger law firms?
We maintain smaller caseloads with direct attorney oversight. This model avoids staff delegation while keeping legal fees lower than traditional firms that handle similar claim complexities.
What happens if my claim gets denied?
Most valid claims require administrative hearings to secure approval. We prepare cases with this reality in mind, maintaining complete documentation throughout the process to maximize success at every appeal stage.
