Successful Courtroom Arguments

As your lawyers, we develop a strategy to win based on your specific medical or mental health issues. There are several approaches to proving disability that we use to meet SSA’s definition of disability. Specifically, the three most common disability arguments we use include:

• proving that you meet a disability listing
• proving that your capacity to perform even a simple, entry-level job has been so diminished by your
  medical problems that you would not be a reliable worker
• proving that you should be deemed disabled because you meet a “grid rule,” based on your age, educational
  background and past work skills

Sometimes only one of these arguments may apply, and in other cases all three may be applicable. Either way, in order to convince a Social Security claims rep or, later, an Administrative Law Judge that you are disabled, we will need evidence in the form of a complete set of medical records as well as case specific checklist forms that we prepare.
