Green Bay Social Security Disability Lawyer

Serious Illness Preventing You from Working? We Can Help.

Getting approved for Social Security Disability benefits isn’t easy when you try to do it on your own.

The process involves thousands of rules from the Social Security Administration (SSA), getting information out of the health care system and sometimes even talking to a disability judge about why you should get help.

It can leave you feeling buried under deadlines, documentation and complex forms to fill out.

This is additional stress on your shoulders at a time when you’re already dealing with health problems and financial struggles.

For hardworking people in Green Bay—whether you work in manufacturing, shipping, transportation, warehousing or any other of our local industries—help is here.

Talking with an experienced Wisconsin disability attorney as early as possible, even before you start your application, can be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.

Geary Disability Law helps people in Wisconsin win benefits that put income back in your pocket and cover your health insurance. In Green Bay, we can help you rebuild your independence.

Help with Your Initial Application for Disability Benefits

Unfortunately, more than two-thirds of initial applications get denied.

But when you go to a hearing with a Social Security Disability administrative law judge (ALJ), one government study found you are three times more likely to get approved if you have a representative like a disability lawyer by your side.

Here are some of the ways a Green Bay disability attorney can help you:

Evaluating Your Case

A disability attorney will gather the facts to help you figure out if you’re eligible based on Social Security’s own five-step process, which looks at:

Are you working? Social Security only pays disability income to people who are unable to work.
Is your medical condition severe? Does your illness or injury significantly limit your ability to do basic activities (like lifting, standing, walking, sitting and remembering information), and is it expected to last for at least a year?
Is your medical condition officially recognized by Social Security?
Can you do the work you did before?
Can you do any other type of work?

Managing the Documentation

Once you decide to apply for disability benefits, your attorney can make it easier for you, lifting the burden of phone calls, forms, legwork and compiling evidence.

An attorney in the Green Bay area is well equipped to help you navigate local Wisconsin Social Security offices, disability judges, health clinics and doctors.

Geary Disability Law has helped thousands of people for over two decades.

Help with Appealing a Denial of Social Security Disability Benefits in Green Bay

If Social Security denies your application, they’ll likely inform you by mail. If you disagree with their decision, you’ll need to file an appeal within 60 days of the date you received their notification.

The first level of appeal is a hearing in front of an administrative law judge, and you’ll want to have an experienced disability attorney representing you—someone who can set a solid strategy for your case and present it in a clear and compelling manner with all the supporting documentation required.
