Social Security Disability Lawyers

You Paid Into the System. You Deserve Your Benefits.

Getting approved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) shouldn't feel like a fight — but for most applicants, it is. The majority of initial applications are denied, often over paperwork technicalities or incomplete medical documentation rather than the merits of the claim itself.

Consumer Lawyers of America helps claimants at every stage: first-time applications, reconsideration requests, and hearings before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). We work on contingency for appeals — under SSA rules, we only get paid if you win.

In some cases, yes, under SSA's "trial work period" and substantial gainful activity rules. We can walk you through what's allowed based on your specific benefit type.
