Carol Herdman - Columbus Social Security Disability Lawyer Reviews & Ratings

I was born in Denver, Colorado but have spent most of my life in Central Ohio. I graduated from Dublin Scioto High School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from The Ohio State University, majoring in International Studies with a specialization in Security and Intelligence. I received a Juris Doctor degree from Capital University Law School. During law school I was a staff member of the Capital University Law Review and participated in numerous externships, including a clerkship with the Federal District Court in the Southern District of Ohio. I was admitted to the Ohio Bar in November 2011.. Prior to attending law school, I worked in a small litigation practice that focused on workers' compensation and personal injury cases.  After graduating, I worked for a small firm that focused on workers' compensation claims at the administrative level.  I was asked to take on Social Security disability cases, and over the next five years built a thriving SSD practice from the ground up.  In 2017, I left that firm to follow my dreams and open my own practice with my partner, Christopher Yeager.  We now represent injured workers in hearings before the Industrial Commission and assist with appeals in both the Ohio Courts of Common Pleas and the Tenth District Court of Appeals. I continue to represent claimants seeking Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income benefits at all levels - from initial applications for benefits to appeals before the Social Security Administration and the United States District Court. In addition, I represent State of Ohio employees in their claims for OPERS, STRS, and SERS disability benefits.
