Tuckahoe Social Security Disability Lawyers

SSD Lawyers

If you’ve suffered a severe injury or are diagnosed with a serious illness, which means you are unable to work, you likely have many fears. You may wonder, for example, how you will support yourself and your family. The good news is– you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which in essence provides you with Social Security benefits even though you have not reached retirement age.

Something that can significantly help your shot at SSDI is hiring a Tuckahoe Social Security Disability attorney

Having an expert working on your claim means having an experienced eye and a master negotiator on your side. Even if your claim has already been denied, Rutter Mills can help.

Unfortunately, the application process for SSDI is complicated, and denials are common. Whether you are just starting the process or have received a denial, the Tuckahoe Social Security lawyers at Rutter Mills can help. For over a half-century, we have helped clients who qualified for SSDI. We are among the most experienced attorneys in this field in the state.

To meet the criteria, a person must have worked and paid into Social Security for at least 20 out of the past 40 quarters, or five out of the prior ten years. This should ensure sufficient work credits for qualification.

Only those applicants who are totally disabled, with a condition expected to last more than one year or end in the person’s death, are eligible for SSDI. The person cannot have the capacity to work at any job [“full-time” or “on a full-time basis”], not just the one currently held, to receive SSDI.

Our Tuckahoe lawyers for Social Security disability can assist you with the original application or any appeals, and we can also represent you before an Administrative Law Judge if the appeal is denied. The latter is a common occurrence, so do not worry. Approximately two-thirds of all initial SSDI applications are denied. The major reasons for these denials are– the form was not filled out correctly, relevant medical records were not included, or the applicant did not appear to follow the doctor’s treatment plan.

Our lawyers will ensure that all necessary information is submitted to the Social Security Administration (SSA) in an initial application. While a denial is still likely, those applicants seeking legal counsel have a better chance of eventually receiving SSDI benefits– than those who try to go it alone.

If the claim gets to the Administrative Law Judge stage, we can present any new medical evidence bolstering your case, as well as bring in medical or vocational experts. The applicant has the opportunity to make their case before the judge, and we thoroughly prepare clients beforehand. Your lawyer can also cross-examine any witnesses appearing on behalf of the SSA.

If you cannot work due to total disability, contact the experienced Tuckahoe SSD lawyers at Rutter Mills. We offer free consultations, so call or text us 24/7 or submit our online contact form to arrange an appointment. If your SSDI claim has been denied, and you want to appeal, time is of the essence. There is a strict 60-day window from the denial date for appeal eligibility. Because we work on a contingency basis, you do not pay unless you receive benefits.

Victor B.

What I loved about my Rutter Mills experience was the team approach they provided from start to finish. The paralegal Selena D. was always keeping me updated and accurately collecting information to make sure my case was on a strong foundation. My attorney, Adam Lotkin raises the bar to the highest standard. Adam's knowledge, experience, and grit afforded me the strongest settlement in my case. Top 1% settlement is the best way to describe it. Your attorney matters and I am so glad I choose Rutter Mills, Adam Lotkin, and team to represent my case. I will use Rutter Mills again for my future needs.

Sergio C

Adam Lotkin, my attorney, was straight forward and solid. He did what he said he would do. He kept reassuring me I was in good hands, and in the end, he proved, I was. When my case was finished, they treated me fairly and worked quickly to pay out my settlement. When going up against large insurance companies, Rutter Mills proved, your law firm does matter. Thank you all again, for taking a difficult time in my life and making it bearable.

Brianna P.

I am beyond happy with my experience working with Rutter Mills. Rutter Mills was responsive throughout the entire journey and worked diligently on my behalf, making the process worry and stress free. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Krystal M.

My 1yr old and I were in a pretty bad accident. I called Rutter Mills and they were on it asap! They not only took care of me, but my daughter as well and I couldn't be more thankful!

Chuck C.

Rutter Mills did exactly what I needed. Took all the pressure off of me, negotiated a fair settlement, and treated me royally in the process. At a low point in my mood, they even sent me cookies! My attorney Mr Boran, Kathy, Julie and the rest made a bad situation as painless as possible. I feel lucky to have chosen them after my accident. Thanks Rutter Mills team
