Free Initial Consultation - You Can't Afford to Wait!

We represent claimants for Social Security Disability Benefits and Supplemental Security Income at every stage of the proceedings from the Application to Court.

One of our professional staff members will assist you in completing the necessary paperwork in processing your claim. I also appear with claimants at their hearings before Administrative Law Judges.

We obtain the necessary medical documentation to support your impairments and submit this information to the Social Security Administration.

When you hire us, we file the appropriate Social Security forms and appeal any further decisions SSA issues prior to having a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.

If you have any questions about our services, please contact our office at (419) 246-5760 or you may use our toll free number, 1-888-744-4539. My staff is experienced and knowledgeable about the procedures of Social Security Disability Claims and can answer most questions.

Our office is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; however, you may leave a message on our voice mail 24 hours a day. Please keep all of your appointments with our office. If you need to make a cancellation,
please call us immediately so that we may reschedule.

Please contact our office upon receiving any letters or materials from the Social Security Administration. This would especially include any decisions SSA makes on your claim.

You will also need to keep my assistant who will be working on your claim, informed of any new medical treatment or new medical conditions that you are diagnosed with. This would include hospital stays and emergency room visits. When you are diagnosed with new conditions or your present impairments become worse, it is very important for us to let SSA know about these changes.

There may be times when we will need you to help us obtain copies of your medical, school or employment records
