Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability Attorneys

i-socialIf a disability has hindered your ability to support yourself and your family, nothing should stop you from getting the benefits you deserve. Unfortunately, applying for disability benefits can be difficult and time-consuming, and applications are often denied the first time they are filed.

The Social Security Administration is an enormous, complex agency. If you are looking to file a disability claim or appeal a denial of your claim, the help of an experienced attorney is tremendously valuable.

At Hassakis & Hassakis, P.C., we have been representing Southern Illinois clients in Social Security Disability and other areas of practice since 1950. Our attorneys have the experience and skill to help you through the complicated Social Security process.

Social Security Disability Benefits Insurance

Our lawyers will guide you through the whole complicated process, we can help you find the right solution to meet your needs including:

  • Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI is available to disabled workers who have paid into the Social Security system through employment over the years
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI is available to people who meet certain medical and financial criteria. You do not have to have any previous employment history to qualify for SSI.

The Social Security Administration insures you benefits for certain qualifying illnesses. Unfortunately, people who are disabled and have legitimate qualifying illnesses are oftentimes denied coverage.

We have been helping people get the social security benefits they need since 1950. Some lawyers only want the big cases. We want our clients to get the best service possible, whether the case is big or small. When you come to see us our Mount Vernon office or elsewhere for your free consultation, we will sit down with you, discuss your situation, and help you determine your best course of action.
