We believe in providing transparency, so we make sure to explain the entire process and what to expect. We encourage you to ask questions, as addressing your concerns is an essential part of ensuring you are well-informed every step of the way.

Application Assistance

Once we have a clear understanding of your case, we’ll begin working on your disability application. Our team ensures that every aspect of your application is thorough and accurate, which is vital for a successful claim.

We know that Social Security Disability reviewers require specific information to make informed decisions, so we’ll work diligently to gather the necessary medical records, employment history, and supporting evidence to strengthen your case. Our goal is to create a strong application that clearly demonstrates your eligibility for benefits.

As your claim moves forward, we’ll guide you through any necessary hearings or evaluations. Should your claim be denied, we’ll be ready to help you navigate the appeals process. Our dedication to your case remains unwavering until we secure the best possible result for you.

Choosing our law firm means working with a team that prioritizes your well-being and fights for your rights every step of the way. We are here to alleviate your burdens, offer professional support, and help you achieve the benefits you deserve. Together, we’ll navigate the disability claims process with care and determination.

Denied Claim? Contact Our Ann Arbor Disability Lawyers for a Free Consultation.

If your disability claim has been denied, our lawyers are here to help. We will vigorously challenge the decision, representing you at hearings and—if necessary—filing a lawsuit in federal court. Throughout the appeals process, we’ll keep you informed and ensure your case stays on track.

We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only charge for our services if we successfully recover benefits on your behalf. Since attorney fees are regulated by the SSA, costs are generally consistent across firms.

Know Your Rights as a Social Security Applicant in Ann Arbor

As an applicant for Social Security Disability benefits in Ann Arbor, it’s important to understand your rights throughout the process. Knowing your rights empowers you and helps ensure you receive the benefits you deserve. Here are several key rights every applicant should be aware of:

1
Right to Apply

You have the right to apply for Social Security Disability benefits regardless of your age, medical condition, or work history. If a disability is preventing you from working, you can initiate the application process without fear of discrimination.

2
Right to Representation

You have the right to choose a representative to assist you with your application and appeals. This could be an attorney who specializes in Social Security Disability or another qualified advocate. Having legal representation can ensure that your application is properly completed and that you receive guidance throughout the process.

3
Right To Information

You have the right to clear and complete information about the SSD process, including how to apply, what documents are needed, and typical processing times. The Social Security Administration (SSA) must provide this information so that you fully understand your rights and responsibilities.

4
Right to Appeal

If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. You can request a reconsideration of your claim or a hearing before an administrative law judge. This gives you the opportunity to present additional evidence or clarify any issues that may have led to the denial.

5
Right to Privacy

Your personal and medical information is protected by law. The SSA must ensure your information is kept confidential and only used for purposes directly related to your claim.

6
Right to A TIMELY DECISION

You are entitled to a prompt decision on your claim and any appeals. The SSA is required to process your application efficiently, and you should be notified of any delays or issues along the way. If you feel your case is taking longer than expected, you have the right to ask for an update.

7
Right to Fair Treatment

You should be treated fairly and without discrimination during the application process. The SSA must process your claim equitably, regardless of your race, gender, religion, or disability status. If you believe you’ve been treated unfairly, it’s important to report it and seek help.
