The Starting Point in Your Retirement Journey

Social Security is a safety net for older adults and people with disabilities who are no longer able to work. Social Security benefits are also available to citizens who can show long-term illness that prevents them from working. Even though most people can count on a Social Security check, the reality is it doesn’t always provide enough income to live comfortably in retirement.

How an Attorney Can Help You

The Social Security process can be handled without an attorney’s involvement. They primarily handle social security claims that have been denied or where a dispute has arisen over benefits. During the appeal process, they will evaluate a claimant’s medical condition and challenge the basis for the initial administrative decision. Because Social Security is an administrative process quite unlike a courtroom, it can be very helpful to have an attorney who specializes in the procedures and laws involved.
