Social Security Disability Federal Appeals Experts Joseph Whitcomb founded Rocky Mountain Disability Law Group in order to provide legal representation to claimants applying for disability benefits through the Social Security (SSDI/SSI) and the Veterans' Administrations (VA). Joe learned firsthand working for the Social Security Administration that applying for disability benefits can be extremely frustrating and confusing. He witnessed claimants being denied over and over again. Approximately 75% of initial claims are denied, and depending on where you live, that number may be even greater. Many of these claims are denied because of the confusion and difficulty surrounding the application process. Over the years, RMDLG attorneys have heard from many clients that they simply gave up after receiving their initial denials, or they were confused by the perpetual paperwork required to obtain benefits. Having an attorney on your side can ensure your application is completed properly, quickly, and that all deadlines are met. Most importantly, we won't let you give up the fight for your rights! At Rocky Mountain Disability Law Group, we serve our clients from the beginning to end: we will help you file your application, guide you through the initial process, appeal your initial denial to an administrative law judge, and take your claim all the way to Federal District Court if need be. Our commitment is to make the process of applying for disability as easy on you as possible. If you are unable to work due to a physical or mental condition, or both, we understand that you have enough of a burden already on your shoulders. Let us help ease the task and confusion of applying for disability benefits, which can be cumbersome and overwhelming to those already dealing with the difficulties of their conditions.
