It is a privilege to help people with health problems secure benefits for which they are entitled. My focus as a lawyer is to help clients navigate government and insurance claim systems to obtain the assistance they deserve.

People would rather work than endure bad health that keeps them from working. However, when medical care is not successful, a person should be able to have a measure of security and peace with an assured income. This is not welfare – rather it is making a claim for benefits paid for through their payroll deductions and premiums.

After the government or an insurance company has originally said no in denying an application for disability benefits, I welcome the challenge of getting an unfavorable decision reversed in favor of the client.
