Our Attorneys Help Submit Your SSD Application

As if the SSD application process isn’t complex enough, it is especially difficult to navigate as you deal with your illness or injury and stress over how you are going to support yourself and your family.  You also must understand that your initial application is likely to get denied as an error or lack of proper paperwork causes 65 percent of first-time applications to be denied.  Of the applications that are denied, 91 percent of them go up for reconsideration through the appeals process.

What more can I say other than Neil Good did what others couldn’t, he saw my claim through to the end, which for me was a favorable judgment for benefits from one of the toughest judges my county has. His impeccable job in preparing not only my case but me also, made all the difference. I knew exactly what to expect when I walked in that courtroom and because of that I was able to answer all of the questions asked if me with no problems. Thank you again Mr. Good from me and my wife and kids
