What Is Social Security Disability?
The Social Security Administration administers two separate and distinct federal income support programs for people who are disabled:
While the two programs differ in their objectives and eligibility criteria, both disability programs require that applicants meet the Social Security Administration’s criteria for a disability. In general, you must be able to prove that you’re unable to do significant work for a sustained period of time.
Why Choose Us as Your Social Security Disability Lawyers
There are so many reasons why our clients turn to us for Social Security Disability representation:
In-Depth Experience
Unlike general lawyers, our disability lawyers focus exclusively on SSDI and SSI claims. This focused approach ensures you benefit from deep familiarity with SSA procedures, timely policy insight, and strong advocacy at all stages.
Proven Results
Our attorneys represent clients nationwide at every level: initial claims, reconsideration, ALJ hearings, Appeals Council, and U.S. District Court. We bring a trial-ready mindset—whether we file paperwork, negotiate, or argue your case in court, our goal is clear: securing your benefits.
No Fees Unless We Win
We work on contingency, meaning you don’t pay unless we win. Fees are capped at 25% of retroactive benefits, up to the SSA’s legal limit. This means no upfront bills and no surprises.
What Our SSDI Attorneys & Team Do For You
Our disability attorneys and paralegals take care of everything so you can focus on your health. Here’s what you can expect from the process:
1. Initial Filing & Strategic Planning
We begin by assessing your medical and work history to determine eligibility, then prepare and file your SSDI or SSI claim—online, by phone, or in person. We craft compelling narratives and follow proper procedures to avoid any additional delays.
2. Appeals & Legal Representation
If your claim is denied, we handle each stage of the appeals process: reconsideration, ALJ hearings, the Appeals Council, and, if needed, federal court. We also manage communications with medical experts, legal briefs, witness preparation, and courtroom advocacy—always within strict deadlines.
3. Ongoing SSA Rules & Work Support
If you’re confused about how the process works, we help you understand key SSDI terms like Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), Trial Work Period, and Continuing Disability Review. We also help you navigate SSA work-incentive programs like the Ticket to Work to support your return-to-work goals while protecting your benefits.
How to Choose the Right Disability Attorney
Not sure who to hire? Here’s what to look for when choosing a Social Security Disability attorney:
Focused Legal Experience
Look for a law firm that works exclusively or primarily in disability law. SSDI and SSI are highly specific legal areas, and experience matters.
Proven Results
Ask about case success rates, hearing outcomes, and appeals experience. A good attorney should be able to demonstrate a history of helping clients secure benefits at various claim stages.
Clear Communication
You need a team that listens, explains, and keeps you informed. Good communication is essential during a process that can take months or even years.
No Upfront Fees
Legitimate disability attorneys work on contingency. That means you only pay if you win, and fees come out of your back pay, not your pocket.
National and Local Reach
Some firms offer nationwide service, while others work regionally. Ideally, choose a team familiar with your local SSA offices and judges, but also capable of handling your case no matter where it goes, even to federal court.
At Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates, we meet every one of these standards. From initial filing to federal court, we’re with you every step of the way.
FAQ – Social Security Disability Attorneys
Can I apply for Social Security Disability Insurance on my own?
Yes, you can apply for SSDI on your own, but statistics show that applicants represented by social security and disability lawyers are more likely to succeed, especially during appeals.
Will I have to go to a hearing?
Not always—around one-third of claims are approved initially. But if you need a hearing, our disability attorneys are there with you and will guide you.
Can I work while receiving benefits?
Yes. SSA offers Trial Work Periods and SGA thresholds. We help you navigate these safely to protect your benefits.
How long does the Social Security Disability approval process take?
Initial decisions typically take 4–6 months, and ALJ hearings another year or more. Representation often helps speed things up and ensures accuracy.
What does it cost to hire a Social Security Disability lawyer?
You’ll pay nothing upfront. Fees are deducted from past-due benefits at a maximum of 25%, capped per SSA rules.
