Social Security Disability

Disability can pose an insurmountable obstacle to earning a living. As a former law enforcement officer who was injured on the job, Mr. Pelham understands your concerns about providing for yourself and your family members. If you or a family member suffers from an injury or disease that prevents you from working, or is expected to prevent you from working for one year or longer, then you may be entitled to Social Security Disability benefits.

At Pelham & Andrews in Tallahassee, Florida, our Social Security Disability attorneys have experience in obtaining Social Security benefits on behalf of disabled persons. Pelham & Andrews represents disabled persons who are filing for Social Security Disability as well as individuals who have filed and have been denied. We are able to guide you through the overwhelming maze of regulation and red tape that characterizes the application process. An astonishingly large percentage of Social Security Disability applications are turned down, only to have the decisions reversed on appeal. An initial denial of benefits is not the final word.

If you have been denied by Social Security or are simply considering whether you should apply, please contact us today. We handle Social Security Disability cases on a contingency basis, receiving 25% of the back due benefits awarded. This means that if we are not successful in obtaining disability benefits, then our client does not owe Pelham & Andrews any amount of money. Referring attorneys are compensated in accordance with Florida Bar rules.
