Disability Law
Our disability law practice is dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals whose physical, mental, or developmental conditions impact their ability to work and live independently. We provide comprehensive legal representation to help clients secure the benefits, accommodations, and protections they deserve under state and federal law.
Our services include:
Social Security Disability Benefits (SSDI & SSI): Guidance and representation through initial applications, appeals, and hearings to obtain federal disability benefits that provide crucial financial support.
FERS Disability Retirement: Helping federal employees apply for and obtain disability retirement benefits through the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), including preparing applications, gathering medical evidence, and appealing denials. We understand the unique requirements of federal employment and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) process.
ERISA Short- & Long-Term Disability Claims: Representing employees in claims under employer-provided disability insurance governed by ERISA. We handle applications, appeals of denied or terminated claims, and litigation against insurance companies to ensure employees receive the benefits they paid for.
Workplace Rights & Accommodations: Advising employees and employers on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related employment laws to ensure reasonable accommodations, prevent discrimination, and maintain fair workplace practices.
Educational Rights: Advocating for children and families to secure appropriate special education services, accommodations, and individualized education plans (IEPs) under IDEA and Section 504.
Disability Discrimination & Access: Protecting individuals when they are denied equal opportunities, services, or accessibility in employment, housing, education, or public accommodations.
We approach every case with dedication, empathy, and a commitment to achieving practical solutions that improve the quality of life for our clients and their families.
