Social Security Disability

Jacksonville SSI Claims Lawyer

The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income Disability programs are the largest of several Federal programs that provide assistance to people with physical and/or mental disabilities. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pays benefits solely based on financial need.


Initial claims for these benefits are often denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA) due to paperwork errors or insufficient medical evidence verifying a disability. There are a number of levels to the appeals system that leaves most people overwhelmed and frustrated. RITE law can assist you with this lengthy and tedious process. There are no upfront fees, and we are paid only if a benefit is recovered on your behalf.

How An SSI Attorney Can Help You With Your Claim

Here at Law Offices Of RITE Law, we always start with a free case evaluation where we’ll help you determine whether you should even file for benefits.

In the event your medical and work records meet the SSA requirements, we’ll proceed with the claim and forward your information to the local Disability Determination Services office, after which you’ll receive a decision.


If your application is denied, you’ll need to attend a hearing. Worry not as our disability attorney Jacksonville FL will prepare you for the questions you may have to answer in order to maximize your chances of success.


Since you’re entitled to have legal representation, it doesn’t hurt to involve a professional as early as you can. In our experience, Social Security is more likely to approve those who are represented by an attorney than those flying solo.
