Missouri Social Security Disability Lawyer

Missouri Social Security Disability Law Firm—Aaron Sachs and Associates provides legal assistance with disability claims in Springfield, Columbia, Joplin, Cape Girardeau, Kansas City, MO and their surrounding areas, as well as Kansas.

Are you disabled and unable to work? Do you have a disabling condition that will make you unemployable for a year or more? If the answer is "YES", you may qualify for Social Security Disability and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

However, these benefits are not always easy to get, and the majority of Social Security Disability applicants are often turned down when they first apply. This is merely how the system works. However, if you have been disabled, and are unable to work or provide for your family, you need experienced legal assistance to successfully navigate this complicated and time consuming system. Let us help you get the benefits you urgently need, and are entitled to by law.

Denied!

If you applied for Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and were turned down for disability benefits, the law firm of Aaron Sachs and Associates may be able to help you in the appeal process. Attorney Lynne C. Lamy and paralegal Tammy Davis work with Social Security Disability claims and appeals on behalf of the firm.

Both Aaron Sachs and Lynne Lamy are proud members of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR), an organization dedicated to providing representation to Social Security claimants.

Ten Things You Need to Know About Missouri Social Security Disability

1. Apply for disability as soon as you are aware you will be disabled for a year or longer. It is important not to wait.
2. You will receive a decision on your original application in 4-5 months. You can speed up the process if you submit your medical records when you file your initial application.
3. Approximately 60% of initial applications are denied. This does not mean you do not have a good claim, and will not eventually receive benefits if you persevere.
4. If your initial application is turned down—you have only 60 days to appeal that decision.
5. If you need to file an appeal, don’t do so without legal representation from a Social Security Disability Lawyer.
6. If your appeal is also denied, (which is quite frequent) the next step is a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
7. The national average wait time to present your case in front of the ALJ is approximately 18 months.
8. It is entirely possible for the entire Social Security Disability process to take two to three years.
9. The Missouri Law Firm of Aaron Sachs and Associates offers a FREE consultation to assess your claim. Let us help you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
10. We will not add to your financial burden—there is no charge to you unless we win your case.
