Cleveland SSD Hearing Lawyer
What You Can Expect When Applying for SSD
An SSD application form is long and complicated. You need to provide extensive information about yourself and your history to have any chance of being approved. One small mistake can set you back years.
You don't pay if you don't get benefits. Click here or call 877-230-5500 for a free consultation.
But if you do it right the first time, you could start receiving Social Security benefits within a few months. At Shifrin Newman Smith Inc., we have handled thousands of SSD applications since we first opened in 1985.
We can evaluate your condition, help you gather the necessary medical evidence and submit a strong, clean application. Our attorneys take pride in doing their jobs well.
Have you already submitted your application?
If so, you should wait to receive a response before you call us. Twenty-four percent of SSD applications in Ohio are approved on the first try. If yours is approved, you won't need a lawyer's help. If it's denied, you definitely will.
So, your SSD application has been denied — what next?
You enter into the appeals process. First, we help you request "reconsideration." If we fail to get a disability determination, we can request an administrative hearing with a judge.
Next, we can send a written appeal to the Social Security Appeals Council. And if it's necessary, we can even take your appeal to federal court. The entire process often takes years to complete.
We won't turn you away.
Even if your case looks difficult, we won't turn you away. Some law firms will, especially if they boast of a high "success" rate. At Shifrin Newman Smith Inc., we help everyone who comes to our door.
Our lawyers will help you make the best of a bad situation. They're known for achieving successful results in cases that looked impossible. And you risk nothing by trying — if we can't get you benefits, you don't pay us.
