Should I hire a lawyer for my SSD or SSI claim?

The Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) system is complicated, and hiring a lawyer is the best way to have the best chance of being successful (getting the benefits to which you are entitled). As in almost every system, having a lawyer helps because lawyers know the systems, they speak the language, and they know what has to be done to help their clients win.

Attorney Daniel J. Siegel has handled SSD claims for nearly 40 years, and his office, including attorney Christa Frank High, has the experience to understand each client’s specific needs. They know how to help their clients so that Social Security has all the information (the evidence) it needs to get you benefits.

Our Team Understands Every Step of the Process

We will work with you to file your application and your appeals in a timely manner. We also make sure that we obtain your medical records and reports, which are crucial to winning a claim.
