About SSD

The Davis Law Firm charges no fee for any work performed on your Social Security Disability case unless and until a favorable decision is made.

How can we help you? We can help you file a claim

By contacting the Davis Law Firm before contacting the Social Security Administration, we can determine your eligibility, evaluate if you have a valid claim and help you decide what type of claim you should file. The Davis Law Firm offers you free consultation for this purpose. Our office will schedule an application interview with Social Security and explain what will be discussed. We will identify potential problems with your case while saving you time and travel to the Social Security office. We will assist in helping you complete application forms correctly and in the most effective manner.

Once your application is submitted, it is critical to your case to provide evidence confirming your mental and/or physical disability. We provide dedicated Medical Records Specialists who are expert in obtaining your medical records. We will work with your doctors and other medical facilities to obtain information to support your claim. Experience and knowledge regarding Social Security rules and regulations guide our efforts in presenting your case to the Social Security Administration to your best advantage.

We can help you file an appeal. If your claim is denied, you have a right to file an appeal. There are four appeal levels:

  • Reconsideration

    Reconsideration is a complete review of your claim by someone who did not take part in the first decision. All the evidence considered in the application and any new evidence submitted will be evaluated.

  • Hearing

    A hearing is the second appeal and will be conducted by an administrative law judge who had no part in the first decision or the reconsideration of your case. You will have an opportunity to appear and present your case. Our office will advise you of the procedures at the hearing and the issues that will be discussed. Our office will review your case file and update with any needed medical evidence. At the hearing the judge will question you and any witnesses you bring to the hearing. The judge often schedules a medical expert and/or vocational expert to appear. Your attorney will be prepared to question expert witnesses and make certain facts presented are favorable to you.

  • Appeals Council

    If you disagree with the hearing decision, you may ask for a review by the Appeals Council. The Appeals Council will review the judge's decision. During this process, our office will monitor the case and keep records updated with relevant evidence and presents a brief to the Appeals Council in support of your case. If the Appeals Council believes the judge's decision is correct, it will decline to review it. If a review is conducted, the Appeals Council will either reverse the judge's decision and issue a favorable decision or send the case back to the judge for further consideration.

  • Federal Lawsuit

    If you disagree with the Appeals Council's decision, you may file a lawsuit in federal district court.
