For many people struggling to manage the responsibilities of a job while dealing with physical or mental ailments, there comes a point when it becomes too difficult to continue working.

To help replace lost income, those who are unable to work can apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. However, many people with genuine needs are denied time and again by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

At Bridgman Law Offices, we are a local practice committed to helping people struggling with disabilities get the SSD benefits they need. We work with clients in Charlotte and across North Carolina. We also help people in South Carolina and the Atlanta metro area.

Dealing with a serious mental or physical injury or disability is difficult enough without having to navigate the paperwork, rules, regulations and complex language of the SSA's application process.

Don't try to navigate the initial application or the appeals process on your own; we can offer clear directions and guide you through every step. We can help you fill out and file the forms correctly the first time and improve your chances of getting approval. If you've already received notice that your claim was denied, we can explain the appeals process, help you gather evidence and opinion letters, and represent you before an administrative law judge while presenting your case.
