We have four locations in northern Ohio, in Toledo, Lorain, Mansfield, and Wooster. Being local has advantages. Our attorneys will meet with you initially to discuss your case to determine whether we can offer to help you. We are familiar with your doctors and other medical providers, which helps us to successfully request and obtain the medical evidence needed to prove your case.  If your case goes to a hearing, the attorney who will represent you at the hearing will meet with you to discuss the evidence in your case and prepare you for the hearing. And in Lorain and Wooster, we can even hold your hearing in our offices, by video-teleconference. We regularly practice before the judges who serve northern Ohio and know how to best present your case to them.

We understand the challenges you face. Not only are you dealing with symptoms from severe medical conditions, you are most likely suffering difficult financial pressures because you can’t work. You can’t help but have very real concerns about your future. This can lead to (or aggravate) problems with depression and anxiety. It can negatively affect your relationships. Some people don’t understand what you are going through and some may just view you differently than they did before.

We believe that every person is entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. We assign a legal assistant to each client who knows what is happening on the case and who is the client’s primary contact. We will answer your calls when we can, or return them promptly.

We will work with you to make sure that Social Security gets all the evidence about your medical conditions. We work with your medical providers and ask them to explain what your limitations are and the medical reasons for them. We file appeals at all levels. If your case requires a hearing, an attorney will be there to represent you. We handle cases even in federal court, when Social Security makes errors that result in a denial and won’t correct them.

We always will send copies of our correspondence to you and keep you informed about developments in your case. We work hard to help you obtain the benefits to which you are entitled.
