Applying for Disability Benefits?

Nationally, more than two-thirds of initial disability claims are, in fact, denied. But the Social Security Disability team at Silver & Silver can help improve your chances. We’ve won disability benefits for thousands of Philadelphia-area residents. Let us help you with your application. We know the system inside and out and can help you avoid common mistakes in your Social Security application and throughout the process. Call us today for a free consultation.

If you have a scheduled Social Security hearing

If Social Security has notified you of an upcoming hearing, it’s very important to be prepared. You are strongly encouraged to seek out legal representation as quickly as possible.

Silver & Silver has over 40 years of experience helping people in the Philadelphia area and the surrounding counties. We’ll use our knowledge and experience to:

• Evaluate your impairments
• Analyze your Social Security file
• Prepare your case
• Obtain important evidence such as medical records and statements from medical sources
• Prepare you to testify
• Submit helpful legal arguments before and during the hearing
• Question witnesses
• Cross-examine any medical and/or vocational experts who testify at your hearing
• File any necessary appeals in a timely manner
• Represent you at each stage of your claim

Attending your Social Security hearing unrepresented should be avoided. Our attorneys will meet with you face-to-face before the hearing to help to focus and present your best case. Social Security statistics show that you have a much higher chance of winning if you are represented by an experienced Social Security Disability attorney.
