Social Security Disability

Have you applied for Social Security Disability and been denied?  If you feel that the denial was wrong, then you need to appeal.

Appealing a social security denial is a very complicated and difficult process.  There is nothing simple about the Social Security Administration’s rules and practices, and you may be tempted to give up. 

At Driscoll Law Office, we know exactly what needs to be done to get you the benefits you deserve, and the first consultation is always free. Attorney John Driscoll has been representing social security claimants for over twenty years, successfully obtaining benefits for clients in virtually all cases he pursues.

Your doctors are a big key to your success, but they are busy and don’t always provide the type of opinion you need to succeed.  Attorney John Driscoll has read hundreds, if not thousands, of medical files in his career.  He knows what to look for, and he knows what the social security administration is looking for.  He has had great success working with doctors to be sure that the right kind of evidence is in the file, and his advocacy skills are unmatched in both Maine and New Hampshire.

When you are awarded benefits, there is often a ‘retroactive’ award, meaning that you receive past monthly benefits that you would have received if you had not been denied in the first place.  This also means you don’t pay us up front. You get all those back benefits in one lump-sum, and the attorneys are paid out of that amount.  Attorneys are paid 25% or $6,000.00, whichever is less.

Your chances of success are much higher with a good lawyer than if you go it alone.
