Comprehensive Representation
When you come in for your free consultation, you will meet with attorney Don H. Jorgensen. If you choose to retain our firm for your case, Mr. Jorgensen will guide you every step of the way to seek the best possible financial and medical assistance.
Working with a staff of experienced professionals who will assist in your case, Mr. Jorgensen will speak with your doctors, help gather medical records, help file your SSDI or SSI application, and if a hearing is necessary, appear at your hearing on your behalf.
To ease your burden during difficult times, Mr. Jorgensen will provide detailed information about the Social Security Disability process. Explaining the process and keeping clients informed about the status of their claim is a priority at our firm.
SSDI/SSI Appeals
The Social Security Disability benefits program, as administered by the Social Security Administration, has been created in such a way as to discourage applicants from obtaining benefits. National figures show that approximately 70 percent of initial applications for relief are denied by the Social Security Administration.
Hiring a lawyer to handle your application from day 1 is the best way to protect your rights. It is a proven fact that applicants who are represented by counsel have improved chances of having their application or appeal granted.
If your application has been denied, our firm is pleased to assist with an appeal on your behalf. Remember, if your application for Social Security Disability benefits has been denied, you only have 60 days to file an appeal. If you do not file a timely appeal, you must start the process over again and re-file (unless you are able to show sufficient cause for your delay).
Helping Los Angeles Residents
Our firm has helped many Los Angeles residents suffering from a disability to seek and obtain SSDI and SSI benefits. We are also pleased to help clients determine which Social Security program is best for them.
SSI is for people with limited income and limited financial resources. People receiving SSI may be employed but unable to make a sufficient income to meet their needs due to a disability that limits their work capacity.
As a general rule, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is for people suffering from a qualifying disability that has significantly impaired their ability to work for 12 months or longer. However, if you have been injured and your disability will keep you from working for at least 12 months, you should speak with an attorney immediately who can assist with your SSDI application.
