Effective Applications and Appeals
Many people who have been denied benefits thought they could do it themselves, had help from a well-meaning friend, or first hired a lawyer who is not familiar with Social Security disability claims. Howard M. Hyman, Attorney at Law is familiar with the Social Security Administration and its complicated application process. Our lawyers are also well known and familiar with the judges who handle Social Security reconsideration hearings, and we know from experience what they want to hear in your appeal.
Applications are denied for many reasons, from incorrect or incomplete forms to an emphasis on unimportant issues to problems with the mental illness of the applicant. We are well versed in medical treatments, psychiatric treatment, common diseases and disabilities, and we will help you draft or re-draft your application for the greatest chance of success.
Helping War Veterans
We have a special practice assisting war veterans and former POWs who are having trouble with the Social Security system. Howard Hyman is known in the military community for his skilled work with Social Security Disability and SSI claims. We have handled many claims and appeals for clients with war-related disabilities, including combat injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Howard M. Hyman is active in war veteran groups, including the VFW, USO, and Vietnam Veterans of America, and is proud to help veterans in any way he can. He can help veterans not only with Social Security but also with other areas of law, including real estate, estate planning, immigration and business formation.
Vietnamese Refugees and Non-English Speakers
There is a strong Vietnamese refugee community in the Philadelphia area, and our lawyer works hard to help them with Social Security disability matters. For clients not fluent in English, we have ready access to interpreters in Vietnamese, Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese.
No Fees until We Are Successful
We will not charge any attorney's fees for our Social Security services unless we are successful in obtaining disability benefits for you. In the rare instance that we do not win your case, you would be charged only for our actual costs, usually less than $100. Even if we are denied on the first or second application, we will not give up on your case. We will file additional appeals as needed to obtain a victory.
