Guiding You Through the SSD Benefits Application Process
You pay for Social Security Disability (SSD) insurance with every paycheck. Obtaining benefits when you become disabled and cannot work should be easy. However, the vast majority of initial SSD claims are denied. If this has happened to you, do not panic. Rather, take positive steps to protect yourself. Call an SSD lawyer to help you take your claim to the next step.
I am attorney Cecelia M. Kendall, and I handle the SSD and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) practice at Foley-Walker Enterprises, L.L.C., a St. Louis, Missouri, law firm. I usually become involved in these cases when my clients' initial applications have been turned down, but I can assist with all aspects of the benefit application process. My goal as a St. Louis Social Security Disability attorney is to present clients' situations accurately and effectively so that they receive the benefits they need.
Setting Realistic Expectations, Providing Honest Advice About SSD and SSI
A hallmark of my legal practice is setting realistic expectations for clients. This means that I describe the claims and appeals processes thoroughly and give clients an honest assessment of their probability of success. I talk about attorneys' fees and how they are paid from the back benefits awarded to clients. Moreover, I make sure that they know that I do not get paid if their claims or appeals are unsuccessful.
I am known as an accessible attorney, available to answer questions as the legal matter moves forward. I understand that my clients are experiencing frustration, worry and a host of other emotions in addition to physical pain from their partial or permanent disabilities. As I guide clients through the claims and appeals processes, I strive to take away the mystery and confusion so that clients have one less thing to worry about.
