The Social Security Administration is an overworked, back-logged federal bureaucracy which is slow in processing claims. While the system was designed to help people like you, who have worked hard all their life and paid into the system through payroll deduction, too often truly disabled individuals are turned down by the system.  The appeals process is often times long and frustrating which can take up to two years before a final decision is made by an Administrative Law Judge.  Just because your claim is initially denied or denied on appeal (Reconsideration) doesn’t mean that ultimately you won’t receive benefits. However, if you are to be successful in winning your claim, it is important that the Social Security Administration has all of the relevant information available to approve your claim.

 

At McCracken & Martin, our experienced attorneys will help you cut through the red tape, assist you in understanding each and every step of the process and strive to make the system work for you. Our attorneys not only understand what medical evidence is necessary to win your case, but also how that medical evidence ties in with the law.  We’ll work closely with your doctors to ensure that the Social Security Administration and Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) has the necessary evidence to approve your claim.  We’ll not only be prepared for your hearing, but we’ll make sure that you are fully prepared for the hearing.

Our attorneys are prepared to offer close, personalized assistance with any type of Social Security Disability matter including:

• Social Security Disability Insurance

The federal program for those individuals who can prove disability and who have paid into the system through Social Security witholding taxes.

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

The federal program for those individuals who have not paid sufficiently into the system but can demonstrate both financial need and disability.

• Childhood Disability Income

• Widow's Benefits

​

Many other law firms are not interested in speaking with you or assisting you with your claim unless you have been turned down at least once. Our attorneys are willing to discuss the merits of your claim with you even before you have applied for benefits. If you desire, we’ll even assist you with the

initial filing of your claim and will be with you every step along the way. 

 

Regardless of what stage of the system you’re in, there’s no risk to you. Our fees are regulated by the Social Security Administration and we only get

paid if we are successful in having your application for benefits approved.  Contact us at (513) 737-8000, to schedule an appointment with one of our attorneys today.
