Social Security Disability
Why do you need an SSD lawyer?
Social Security has some textbook disability cases that will always get approved. The problem is, most people don’t fit into those textbook cases. Your case, your disability is different from anyone else’s claim. You need a lawyer who understands the unique and individual aspects of your case and who will stay with you throughout the appeals process. David Gantt is an experienced Social Security Disability Claims Attorney and will guide you through the process.
For nearly 40 years, David Gantt has guided disabled people through the complex process to obtain benefits.
- The Social Security disability claims process is complex and confusing. Almost everyone is denied the first time. Most will get denied a second time before having a fair chance at winning their case. You need a lawyer who has a thorough understanding of the process.
- If your application has been denied, an experienced attorney can correct the statements and documents used and get them back into the consideration process, handling all SSD appeal matters.
- Your attorney can determine if additional information — such as a vocational or psychological evaluation — is needed.
- An experienced, determined lawyer can get your case before a judge with the appropriate information from your doctors.
- David will attend every hearing for your case and provide the necessary information for application approval.
- There is no cost to you unless your lawyer obtains the benefits you applied for.
Before getting the Social Security Disability benefits that you rightfully deserve, your claim will likely be denied at least one time. Most claims are denied a second time. While this can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening, it is not the end of your case. Well over 80% of initial Social Security Disability (SSD) claims are denied. There is a process for appeals, however, and our office can help.
At David Gantt Law Office, we have over 30 years of experience standing up for the rights of injured and disabled people and their families. David is a North Carolina lawyer who represents people denied Social Security Disability benefits. He and his staff work hard to help clients seek the disability benefits that they deserve when they are unable to work as they used to due to disability from illness or injury.
We work hard to thoroughly prepare your SSD appeals. Whether we have been involved since your initial filing or have been enlisted to help with the appeal, we work together with clients to see that all information is provided and that the Social Security administrators and judges can understand your situation. We have experience presenting your medical records and evidence of the impact that the injury has had on your life, as well as testimony from family, friends, co-workers and other individuals who help bolster your claim.
