How having a local lawyer helps you

With some out-of-town firms, you’ll only see an advocate on the day you have a hearing with a judge. And sometimes, that person will not even be a lawyer.

That’s not how we operate. We’ll meet you ahead of time so we can better understand your case – and help you get ready and feel confident.

When you work with a local law firm, you get the advantage of local knowledge.

At Nash Disability Law, we know how the local system works:

• We know the people, the neighborhoods and the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
• We know the local clinics, hospitals, doctors, social service agencies and the people who work in the Social Security offices.
• We know the job experts and medical experts Social Security pays to testify about you.

Social Security judges in Oak Brook

The Social Security Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) in Oak Brook oversees appeals for people who live in Elgin and across the Northwest Chicago suburbs:

• In early 2017, the administrative law judges in the Oak Brook office were approving benefits about 56 percent of the time.
• The Chicago judges approved benefits 42 percent of the time.
• The Illinois state approval rate was 44 percent.
• Nationwide, it was 45 percent.

It should be simple to apply for Social Security Disability benefits, but it takes a lot of work and patience. It can take 17 months to get a hearing with a judge in Illinois.

When so many people are getting turned down, it makes sense to get a professional to help with your application or appeal.

Statistics from the Social Security Administration have shown your chances of winning Social Security Disability benefits are better when you have a lawyer.
