Successful Appeals Start With Proper Testimony And Documentation

Simply resubmitting your application will probably not be enough. We will consult with expert vocational and medical witnesses to obtain the written documentation the board often requires. Before your hearing, we will review the details and help you thoroughly prepare.

Keep in mind that you are not alone if your application for SSDI benefits has been denied. Most applications are denied on the first try. To learn more, please see our overview of common reasons for Social Security Disability denials.

We Offer The Option Of Taking Your Appeal To Federal Court

Why is it important to hire a licensed attorney to help you with your SSDI claim? For unlicensed claims services in Florida, preparing your for your hearing is where they have to stop. As a licensed attorney, Mr. Matthews has access to representing your appeal through the federal court system.

You Pay Nothing Unless You Win

Throughout the process, you will pay no money for legal services. We handle your case on a contingency-fee basis. That means we collect only a percentage of any of the benefits the government already owes you, dating back to your date of qualifying disability. We cannot bill you for any money out of any future monthly checks you receive. By federal law, the amount we are allowed to be paid is capped at $6,000. You will NEVER owe us more than the amount of money you are entitled to receive for yourself.
