Years Serving Clients
12,000+ disability claims approved is a historical firmwide total. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Social Security Disability Is Core Work
12,000+ disability claims approved is firmwide history, not a Tuscaloosa-only statistic and not a promise about your case.

Whether you have not yet applied, are waiting on a decision, received a denial, or have a hearing scheduled, we begin by understanding where your claim stands today.
Local Meetings, Federal Hearings
Our disability attorneys can represent claimants nationwide. Tuscaloosa clients still have a nearby office for the conversations that are easier in person.
It costs nothing to talk with our Tuscaloosa team about your potential disability claim.
Tuscaloosa Claims: Four Common Starting Points

SSDI Help in Tuscaloosa
Social Security Disability Insurance is based on work you did in jobs covered by Social Security. You generally need enough Social Security work credits for your age and when your disability began, plus a medical condition that meets SSA’s disability rules.
The credit requirement is not a single 10-year rule. Younger workers may qualify with fewer credits. Other workers generally need both enough total credits and enough recent work. A diagnosis by itself is not a decision, and being unable to return to your last job is not the whole test.
If you worked in Tuscaloosa for years and still got a denial, work history alone does not finish the analysis. We can help you see both the credit issue and the medical issue.
SSI Help in Tuscaloosa
Supplemental Security Income is a needs-based program with income, resource and other nonmedical rules. Unlike SSDI, you do not need your own history of Social Security work credits.
SSI can apply to people with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind or age 65 or older and meet the program’s other requirements. For an adult applying based on disability, SSA generally uses the same medical disability standard used for SSDI. Some people may qualify for both programs.
Some clients may need to consider SSI, SSDI, or both programs. We can help you understand the differences and which requirements may apply to your situation.
