A Fair Question...
Since neither the Social Security Administration nor the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requires you to have a lawyer to apply for or obtain benefits, it's fair to ask the question:
How will I benefit from working with your law firm?
While many law firms can offer you some of the benefits listed below, few are able or willing to provide all of them. Fewer still offer the level of experience you'll find at Shifrin Newman Smith Inc.
- We take care of all of the paperwork. The only exception is the initial application, which you have to complete yourself.
- We handle the task of gathering the required medical evidence. Disability claims don't succeed without strong medical evidence. Many firms ask their clients to gather this information on their own. We don't work that way. We will even cover the medical records fee if you can't afford it.
- We may be able to connect you with free and low-cost medical services. We can't guarantee health care for you, but our resources include listings of free and low-cost clinics and service providers throughout the state of Ohio, along with programs for free or reduced prescriptions.
- We work with your doctor to strengthen your claim. The Social Security Administration (SSA) can be very picky about how impairments are described and documented by doctors. We work with your doctor to get it right.
- We protect your rights at every stage of the process. As attorneys, we can't guarantee you'll receive Social Security Disability benefits. We can guarantee that we'll be here to help and protect you from the initial application all the way to federal court.
- We make sure that you get every benefit to which you are entitled. With the experience of 25 years and thousands of disability claims to draw from — we know the available resources and benefits, and we'll fight to get you all of the help that's there.
Our offices are located in Akron, Cleveland and Toledo, and we help people throughout the state of Ohio.
Our goal is your success. If we can't help you by recovering benefits, you don't have to pay an attorney fee. There is absolutely no risk — not a thing to lose and everything to gain. To schedule a free consultation, call 877-230-5500 or contact us online.
