Social Security Disabiliy

Get the SSD Benefits You’re Entitled to Receive

Social Security Disability Lawyer

If you are disabled and unable to work, you are already dealing with enough stress. Navigating the application process for Social Security Disability benefits may just be too overwhelming. The experienced lawyers at Mike Brandner Law understand these frustrations.

Our highly respected team helps people with all types of disabilities, including chronic illnesses and mental illness. We’ve won and negotiated more than $20 million in verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients, and we take pride in helping injured and disabled Louisiana residents avoid common errors that will harm their chances of approval.

Why gamble with the future of your livelihood? While not required, a lawyer will assist you at your disability hearing. Statistics show that hiring qualified counsel will greatly improve your chances of winning your claim.

Was Your Social Security Claim Denied?

There are many setbacks and delays associated with initial disability claims. Not only does it take a long time to process initial claims, but a large majority of SSD claims are initially denied. A knowledgeable Social Security Disability lawyer will make sure your claim is filed early, helping you avoid unnecessary hardships.

If your claim has been denied you will likely benefit from an experienced Social Security lawyer to help you through this difficult process. Successfully obtaining benefits, under Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), can be very challenging without assistance.

Attention to Detail

We cannot underscore the importance of paying attention to details. Even if you are eligible and meet the requirements for social security benefits, you may receive a rejection simply because you did not file properly. Another critical component is diligent research. This is especially important for applicants suffering from rare or uncommon conditions.

Are You Suffering from a Serious Illness or Injury that Is Preventing You from Working?

Most applicants do not realize that receiving medical treatment for the condition(s) that prevent you from working is an important way of proving your eligibility for benefits. You always want to obtain copies of your medical records. While this will not guarantee that you will receive benefits, it serves a dual purpose:

• It prevents a disability examiner from making a decision on your claim based on insufficient records
• It prevents unnecessary delays when the examiner is processing your paperwork

From injuries to illnesses, our disability lawyers personalize the claims of all of our clients. We then conduct one-on-one meetings to carefully document and gather the evidence necessary to help you prepare an appropriate strategy.
