Best Consumer Protection Lawyers in Duluth, MN

The legal issues involved in a social security disability case can be complex. I can help you identify the strengths and weaknesses in your case and build on those strengths. In doing so we can avoid legal pitfalls and prepare the best possible case. We will also collect relevant evidence and communicate with your medical providers about your conditions, and deal directly with Social Security.

One of the most important pieces of evidence in any disability case is a detailed statement from a treating doctor addressing the very specific limitations that limit your ability to work.

In cases where a client is receiving Medical Assistance or other financial support from Minnesota I may be able to waive fees and instead ask be compensated by the state of Minnesota through a contract with DHS. If you are receiving MN state benefits please ask about the fee waiver option.

A person can still receive Social Security Disability if they are working a small amount which is considered less than Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). In 2014 the monthly amount for SGA is $1070 per month. Be aware however, that after you are approved for Disability you cannot continue to earn this amount for more than 9 months or your benefits could cease.
