SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASES

From the initial application phase of disability cases, to reconsideration, and a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) we assist individuals living in the expanded Chicago Metropolitan area including Cook, Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Will, and Kankakee counties in Illinois.  We will also assist anyone who has a hearing pending with or assigned to the Rockford Hearing Office (Office of Adjudication and Review).  These cases are maintained in the Evanston hearing office, where we are located.

On appeal to the Appeals Council, Federal District Court, or possibly even to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, we will assist people residing within the Seventh Circuit, which includes all of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.     

We offer free consultations for all Social Security disability claims, other than overpayment claims.  For most disability claims we only charge a fee if we are successful in obtaining benefits for the client.

Please give us a call at 847-864-0224 or 312-368-0088 to set up an appointment.  If you live far from either our Evanston main office, or our Chicago interview space, or if you are unable to leave your home or to travel far, we can set up a telephone consultation for you.

OVERPAYMENT CASES 

If you have been overpaid by the Social Security Administration and believe the overpayment itself, or the amount of the overpayment is in error, or you are seeking to have the Administration waive the requirement that you repay the overpayment, we might be able to assist you.  Unless you are also seeking to have disability benefits reinstated, we charge on an hourly basis for these cases.  However, we have been successful in helping many claimants reduce the amount of their overpayments.  Give us a call if you wish to discuss an overpayment claim with us.

LONG TERM DISABILITY CLAIMS 

Our firm also has experience in representing people with claims for LONG TERM DISABILITY benefits from their employer, both at the initial levels, on appeal to the insurance company, and at times to federal district court.  The laws governing these claims are different than for Social Security disability claims, but the experience in analyzing medical evidence, obtaining medical information, and analyzing the way the disability decision was made by the insurance company is the same.  We often represent people with Long term disability claims on a contingent fee basis, or we could work on an hourly basis if the client prefers.
