Social Security Disability Representation
Determined to achieve the benefits you deserve!
Our firm is exclusively devoted to representing individuals who have become disabled to a level which prevents any form of work or maintaining a substantial income. As a Accredited Disability Representative (ADR) firm our philosophy is more client focused while we spend the time to learn the needs, goals, and problems of each individual and make a unique plan to help guide them through the difficult and stressful Social Security Disability processes.
Although the firm has extensive resources, our Accredited Disability Representative is a former SSA employee which was responsible for authorizing thousands of claims and has an in-depth, hands-on knowledge of how the process works and what it takes to achieve the best outcome for each individual case.
It is with this expertise, understanding, compassion, and determination that this firm stands out and develops lasting professional relationships with the individuals we represent.
At Federal Disability Specialists, we understand the struggles you face when dealing with Social Security Administration process. We will provide you with the support and guidance you need to understand the process, clarify any questions or concerns you may have, and present the facts throughout the process.

SSDI is a federal insurance program that provides benefits to people who are unable to work due to a disability.
SSI is a federal program that provides financial assistance to people who have a disability and low income.
To qualify for SSDI, you must have a disability that prevents you from working and have earned enough work credits.
The inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment(s) which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
The only way our firm is paid is if we WIN your case. There is no upfront cost. We are normally paid directly from SSA for any past benefits you are owed. The current allowed fee arrangements set by SSA are 25% or a max limit of $7200. Appeal council remands (if your claim was denied at the hearing level and later approved) are not typical but may remove the limit value.
Yes! However, there are unique criteria for each individual case. Call us today and we can look into your specific issues.
And ADR is a non-attorney representative who provides representation for claimants during the Social Security disability adjudicatory process. Qualified ADR's are eligible for direct payment of authorized fees for representing claimants. The ADR's scope of representation is specified in writing by the claimant and determines the ADR's authority in a pending claim, matter, or issue that they have been appointed to handle. An ADR can be appointed by a claimant to represent them with a pending claim or issue at any level of administrative review.
ADR's are required to have experience and expertise of Social Security's laws and procedures. One must pass an extensive examination governed by SSA, remain in good standing, complete yearly continuing educations courses, and perform their jobs ethically and professionally.
Both lawyer and nonlawyer representatives know Social Security's rules and procedures, the medical evidence you need to win benefits for your particular condition, and how to fill out disability applications. Nonlawyer advocates and professionals who work with SSDI and SSI applicants are actually more likely to spend a lot of time helping an applicant fill out the application and get all of the information the applicant needs. Some lawyers don't have time to help at the application stage, and will actually ask the applicant to call back after they get denied.
No matter what type of representative you hire, the most you'll pay is 25% ($7200 limit) of past due benefits (the lump sum of monthly benefits going back to when you first became disabled or applied for benefits). Both lawyer advocates and nonlawyer advocates are regulated by Social Security in the fees they charge, and they charge the same fees. Even disability advocates who work for legal aid agencies almost always charge 25% of disability backpay for their services. Both types of Social Security disability advocates are required to work on "contingency," meaning they get paid only if you win your case.
In addition, both lawyer and nonlawyer advocates can charge fees for out-of-pocket costs, such as copying and postage.
