Our firm can help you pursue an appeal of your denied claim and will use our considerable experience to your benefit.

Sacramento Social Security Disability Appeal Lawyers
The first step in appealing the initial denial of a SSD or SSI claim is to file what is known as a request for reconsideration. This request must be filed within 60 days, plus five mailing days, of the initial denial. This step essentially asks the SSA to have a different person look at the file and review the decision. Again, in most cases, these claims are denied and, according to national statistics, only about 13 percent of people win at this step. With an experienced attorney, this rate can increase greatly.
If the second appeal is denied, you may appeal to an administrative law judge. If you're prepared for this step, it is the best chance for winning a claim. Attorney Jeffrey Milam has experience as an advisor to these judges and, for more than seven years, he worked at reviewing and developing thousands of claims, as well as drafting decisions and doing legal research for these judges.
