Social Security Disability Advocate

As a Social Security Disability Advocate, I help people suffering from a disability apply for and receive disability benefits through Social Security.  When a person suffers from a disability, their first concern is taking care of their own health and personal needs.  If the person recently became disabled, then they are also dealing with the stress and anxiety that comes with relearning how to do tasks that may have at one time been easy for them to complete.

People suffering from disabilities should not be required to fill out the complex Social Security Disability application, gather all of their medical records, and interact with the Social Security Disability office without assistance.  That is where I can help.

I can help people with their initial Social Security Disability application, help them apply for reconsideration if they have been denied, and I can represent them at an appeals hearing if necessary.  I will also assist them in gathering all of the medical records and doctor affidavits.  Once I am representing someone with a disability, the Social Security Office will send their correspondence through me, so that I can explain it to my clients.

In many cases, I can help people apply for disability benefits without them having to pay any money out of their pocket.  Then, Social Security ultimately decides what I am entitled to receive in payment, usually only if we are successful in getting benefits.  This means that people who are already suffering financially because of mounting medical bills or because they are no longer able to work can receive services without having to worry about coming up with a retainer up front.

Lastly, I am willing to represent people from Logan to Saint George.  I am even willing to work with people in surrounding states as well.

As always, I will continue to provide legal services in the areas of Divorce, Custody, Wills and Trusts, Car Accidents, and Worker’s Compensation.  In fact, I have had a successful month mediating and litigating divorce matters.  However, in addition to these services, I would love to help your friends or loved ones who may be suffering from a disability.

Ammon Nelson Law, PLLC has officially been in business for one year! It has been an exciting and successful inaugural year for my firm.  I want to thank everyone who played a role in helping me build my firm from virtually nothing to the thriving and busy practice that it has become.  If you have referred me to your friends, given me advice, supported me with encouraging words, or have otherwise supported me, thank you.

I have been busy over the last year.  In addition to helping several clients successfully start and complete their divorce and custody matters, I also helped clients with a variety of other legal matters.  I have negotiated settlements in contract disputes, helped landlords evict unsavory tenants, drafted estate plans, navigated Utah liquor laws, settled personal injury matters, and successfully finalized step-parent adoptions all in Ogden and surrounding areas.

In addition to successfully completing the above types of matters, I continue to help people with social security disability applications, guardianships, divorce, custody, car accident, collection, collection defense, and general litigation.

As always, I work hard to ensure that my clients’ rights are represented.  Aside from ensuring that all necessary research and preparation is done on every case, keeping my clients informed regarding their matters, working to push client cases quickly through the court system and aiming to keep client bills low, I also provide my clients with resources to ensure they have the tools to handle the stress and emotional consequences of litigation and the help they need to move forward with their lives.  A special thanks to the family therapists, massage therapists, accountants, and other attorneys who have stepped up to ensure my clients receive all of the support they need.

I look forward to the coming year and the expected challenges of expanding my practice while still providing the personal, comprehensive, and results driven legal services that have made this first year a success.  I also look forward to deepening and enriching the relationships I have made in the community over the past year.  I would not be celebrating the success of the last year without your support.  Thank You!

Social Security Disability Attorney Ogden

Filing a Social Security Disability claim can be complicated…Here are a few things I do to help

I am pleased to announce that I will now be accepting clients with Social Security Disability claims from Logan to Provo, including Ogden.

I will continue to work with people with family law matters, but I am expanding my practice to include those who are disabled and cannot work.

As always, I provide a free consultation for people to help explain the qualifications for disability and to educate them on the process for being approved for benefits.  The process for being approved for benefits is generally broken down into three phases: 1) the Application phase where the person initially applies for benefits; 2) the Reconsideration Administrative Hearing where an applicant who has been denied benefits seeks to be reconsidered for benefits but is denied again.  A hearing is then requested to determine whether the denials were proper; and 3) the Appeal where the applicant appeals the decision made at the administrative hearing.  I will work with people at any phase of the process to ensure the application is presented in the most effective manner.

If you are unsure whether your family, friend, client, or acquaintance will qualify for Social Security Disability, here are a few basic guidelines for determining if they might have a valid claim:

• Cannot work due to a disability
• Have been (or are expected to be) disabled for at least 12 months
• Are under the age of 65
• Have worked at least 5 of the last 10 years (SSDI) or have limited income (SSI)
• Have a doctor that can provide medical evidence to support the disability claim

I promise to provide each social security disability client with the same high quality representation I provide to my divorce and custody clients.  If you have questions about Social Security Disability, or know someone who does, please have them call me at 801-668-2490 or check out my website at www.ogdendivorceattorney.net/social-security-disability.
