Social Security Law Is Our Specialty

At the Law Offices of Sharon J. Meyers, we specialize in Social Security Law and disability claims. We can help you access benefits that are rightfully due in the event that you have suffered an injury or illness that prevents you from making an honest living. We will guide you through the process of filing your claim or appealing the claim in order to receive your benefits.

We understand how the Social Security Administration calculates benefits. If your claim is approved, we monitor your claim to ensure that you are paid correctly. We understand that there are problems that can arise when a person collects Social Security and workers' compensation. We can guide you through these matters.

At the Law Offices of Sharon J. Meyers, we pride ourselves on:

Representing You At Each Stage In Your Claim

We will assist you with all stages of your claim, including representing you at administrative hearings and at appeals in federal court. In preparation for your administrative hearing, we will explain what issues are most important and will prepare you for the questions that the judge is likely to ask. Upon appealing in federal court, we will submit written legal arguments and will attend oral arguments if necessary. Non-attorney representatives cannot do this for you, and it is very difficult for an unrepresented claimant to understand what issues are most important in these proceedings.

Doing The "Legwork" For You

We will assist you with the routine matters on your claim, such as helping you file your appeals on time and assisting you in completing standard Social Security questionnaires. We will obtain your doctors' records as well as reports and medical questionnaires from your doctors concerning your medical condition, symptoms and limitations. These things can be very burdensome to you, but are routine for us.

Additionally, we have a highly skilled staff that is dedicated to keeping your claim running smoothly. They are able to quickly and knowledgeably answer your questions. Although hiring an attorney will not necessarily speed the process, we regularly follow the status of your claim to be sure it is being processed properly.

Understanding Your Impairments

Claims can be won on the basis of one impairment – physical or psychological – or on the basis of a combination of impairments. There are times when vocational factors such as age, education and work history are important. We are experienced in reading medical records and understanding the nature of complex diseases and injuries. We know what information is important to obtain from your doctors. We can help the administrative law judge assigned to your claim understand these issues and help you tell your story.
