Why Do I Need a Social Security Lawyer?

Experienced Philadelphia Social Security Disability Attorney

If you live in the greater Philadelphia area and you have become disabled due to a physical or mental impairment you need an experienced Philadelphia social security lawyer.  You are not only dealing with the symptoms of your medical condition but you are most likely experiencing financial difficulties due to your inability to work.   We understand the importance of obtaining your Social Security Disability benefits to which you are entitled. Even if you have already applied, it is not uncommon for your application to be lost, ignored, or denied without receiving a written notice.  It takes months for the Social Security Administration to make a decision on your application for benefits.   Because of the extremely long periods of time that are spent waiting for a resolution of their claim, many applicants become frustrated and a sense of hopelessness sets in as your medical and financial situation gets worse.

Most claims are denied at the initial application level and are not favorably resolved until a decision is made by an Administrative Law Judge at a hearing at which you must personally appear to answer questions about your medical problems.    Having a Philadelphia disability lawyer at every stage of the process enhances your chances of getting the benefits you deserve.   An experienced Philadelphia social security disability attorney can help you cut through the red tape that is involved in this process at no cost to you unless you receive your benefits.   At the Bernstein Law Offices, we know disability law and how the Social Security Administration works. We have handled thousands of cases before the Social Security Administration.

At the Bernstein Law Offices, we can review your case and advise you on how to maximize your chances of success.  We can tell you how the Social Security Administration evaluates medical conditions or combinations of conditions, how vocational experts assess claims, and other crucial information that influences the claims and appeals process.  We can assist you in filling out required paperwork, provide calculations of benefits, liaise with your doctor and other health care providers to obtain pertinent medical information, and assess this information for additional ways to substantiate your disability. If appropriate, a Philadelphia disability attorney from our firm can advise you about supplementing your claim with additional documentation and medical opinion evidence.

The most important aspect of your Social Security Disability claim lies in how your medical condition is presented and documented to the Social Security Administration. Our firm has been successful in helping thousands of clients win their claims.
