Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have been dealing with social security disability law for over 30 years. I was privileged to serve as a social security administrative law judge for 20 years, hearing and deciding thousands of disability cases of every type. Since leaving the bench in 1998, I have devoted my practice almost entirely to the representation of applicants for social security disability and other social security benefits in Connecticut and New York, including supplemental security income before the social security administration and the United States courts. I represent Connecticut, metropolitan New York, and Hudson Valley disability claimants at all stages—whether at application, first appeal, second appeal, or hearing level. A substantial portion of my practice consists of cases referred by attorneys, including many federal court appeals cases.
