My first attorney position was with the Social Security Administration in the administrative law division.  It was called the Office of Hearings and Appeals at the time.  I received extensive legal training on the Social Security Act and the Cofd of Federal Regulations.  I received medical training to learn medical terminology, as well as about injuries and disease processes that can interfere with a person's ability to hold a job. 

After leaving the Social Security Administration, I began representing claimants in the private sector. Since 1982, I have represented thousands of clients in disability appeals.

In addition to Social Security cases, I also acquired expertise in the area of Alabama Workers' Compensation claims.  I understand workers' comp offset and other issues related to windfall offset and benefit computation.

I consider myself to be an expert in the field of how injury. illness, age and work history impact the ability to earn a living and perform gainful work.
