No two cases are ever the same. We deal with each client individually and develop a custom strategy for every claim for government disability benefits. You will work with one case manager throughout the entire process.
We don't turn any clients away.
Some law firms "cherry pick" their cases — meaning they only take on claims they know they can win. If your case looks difficult, they turn you away. That way, they can maintain a high "success rate" and use it to advertise for new clients.
At Shifrin Newman Smith Inc., we work with every client who comes to us looking for help. We are your local Ohio Social Security Disability law firm, and our goal is your success. We are proud of our legacy of service to disabled Ohioans through this law practice and through our community involvement.
We have a reputation for doing the impossible. And even if your case looks difficult, we won't give up just to spare ourselves the effort.
You owe it to yourself to try. If we can't get you the benefits you need, you don't have to pay a fee for our services. You literally have nothing to lose by working with our firm.
