Are you entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income benefits? Do not let anyone tell you that you are "asking for a government handout" if you apply for Social Security. You have been paying into the Social Security system throughout your working life much the same way that you pay private insurance. If you are no longer able to work because of a severe impairment and are unlikely to return to work for at least a year, you may be a candidate for Disability Insurance Benefits.
Clients of Shifrin Newman Smith Inc. who are applying or appealing denials of Social Security benefit applications look to our attorneys for advice, assistance and advocacy. We can help you file your applications. If you have already applied, and have been denied, we will help seek a favorable outcome with our lawyers' guidance and direction. Contact us to learn how we can help you.
The Social Security Administration reaches out to Americans in rural areas, small- to medium-sized communities and in metro areas. Administrative Law Judges hear appeals when claims are denied through national hearing centers serving an Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODARs). Video conference centers operate throughout Ohio, so you do not have to travel far from home for a hearing.
Our lawyers are prepared to prepare you for your hearing and to accompany and represent you at the video conference where you will appeal your denial. If your appeal is successful, you will begin receiving benefits. Our attorneys' fees are a percentage of back benefits. If we do not help you obtain benefits, you will not owe us any attorneys' fees.
We won't turn you away.
Even if your case is likely to be challenging, we won't turn you away. Some law firms boast of high "success" rates — because they refuse to work on difficult cases. At Shifrin Newman Smith Inc., we aim to help everyone who comes to our door.
