Social Security Disability Attorneys – Get the Benefits You Deserve

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can be a frustrating and overwhelming process. Many individuals who are unable to work due to a disability have their initial claims denied, even when they clearly qualify for benefits.

At Ratliff Jackson LLP, we help clients in New Jersey and Pennsylvania navigate the complex Social Security disability claims process. Whether you are filing an initial application, appealing a denial, or seeking a reconsideration hearing, our firm is committed to securing the benefits you deserve.

Why You Need a Lawyer for Social Security Disability Claims

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has strict requirements for disability claims, and many applications are rejected due to missing information, procedural errors, or insufficient medical evidence. A lawyer increases your chances of a successful claim by ensuring that your application is complete, accurate, and supported by strong medical documentation.

Here is why hiring a Social Security disability lawyer is critical:

• Most Initial Applications Are Denied – The majority of SSDI and SSI claims are rejected, often requiring an appeal.
• Medical Evidence is Key – A strong case requires detailed medical records proving the severity of your condition.
• The Appeals Process is Complex – If your claim is denied, navigating reconsideration, hearings, and appeals requires legal expertise.
• You Do Not Pay Unless You Win – Social Security disability attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning no upfront fees.

Our firm has extensive experience handling Social Security disability claims in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and will fight to secure the benefits you need.
