Top Workers Compensation Lawyers Near Me in Pasadena Area

Social Security disability is the end result of a complex skein of conflicting and complementary rules. Much of the program is not intuitive. Rarely will  disability be found on initial application. It is more common that a claim will be denied and must be appealed to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. There are many doors within the Federal disability program. I believe that the initial application should be drafted by an attorney who has an eye on how the case will be presented to a Judge.. I like doing disability cases because they are complex and unique puzzles that must be solved  through application of the Law and client contacts.. When I am not working on disability claims I bicycle, do wood work and walk my large dog in the wild-lands.
