TO WORK FOR YOU

On The Front Lines Of The Legal Battle

At Your Side In The Pursuit Of SSD Benefits

We are very pleased to recognize Susan O’Malley, who is a Board Certified Disability Specialist by the North Carolina State Bar and is available to assist with any Social Security Disability claims or referrals.

Susan, who frequently lectures other attorneys throughout North Carolina and the nation about how to assist Social Security claimants obtaining their disability, has successfully represented claimants at all levels of application and appeal through the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, only one step below the United States Supreme Court. Let Susan put her experience to work helping you or your loved one obtain your disability benefits.

If you are no longer able to work because of a physical or mental disability, you may be entitled to receive SSD benefits.

A Complex Legal Process That Mandates Legal Help

Disability can stem from many things such as diabetes, asthma, arthritis, depression, back injuries, strokes, and many other situations. Obtaining Social Security Disability benefits can be a long and confusing process for those who are unfamiliar with the law.

Social Security will consider your age, education, work history, and disabilities in its determination to deny or accept your application for disability benefits. It is important to know what information the Social Security Administration finds important in making a disability benefits decision.

In 2001, a California congressman cited statistics that support the choice of having expert representation in disability claims. In his statement, Congressman Matsui of California testified that “Claimants without professional representation appear to be far less likely to receive the benefits to which they are entitled. For example, in 2000, 64 percent of claimants represented by an attorney, but only 40 percent of those without one, were awarded benefits at the hearing level.”

An Initial Denial For Benefits Is Not The End

It is not uncommon to be denied a couple of times in your pursuit of Social Security Disability benefits. Do not give up hope. If an application is denied it can be appealed to a hearing before an administrative law judge, then to the Appeal’s Council, and even to Federal Court. Susan O’Malley has even successfully represented clients attempting to receive Social Security at the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, one step below the United States Supreme Court.

If your application is denied, O’Malley Tunstall, PC can help you with the appeal of your Social Security Disability claim. This includes gathering information that is important for Social Security to have in its decision-making process. It also includes representing you before the administrative law judge at a hearing. We don’t employ non-attorney Social Security representatives; our attorneys will be personally representing you.

There is a limited opportunity to file or appeal a claim that has been denied, so take action today. Our team of attorneys, legal assistants, a professional investigator, and a registered nurse will analyze and discuss your case with you in easy-to-understand terms. We will only collect attorney’s fees if there is a monetary recovery of funds.
