Thanks to the legal team at this firm, especially Christy Bixby, who walked my family through a very tricky and sometimes frustrating process navigating through Social Security Disability process. She was kind, attentive and provided prompt responses to all of our questions. Would recommend to anyone needing help with SSD. Thank you!

I highly recommend Mark T Hurts office. I got a speeding ticket in VA and Frankie was the first person I had the pleasure of speaking with on the phone. She was so professional and very informative. Told me step by step what I needed to do. I highly recommend them and if I need any help in the future I know who I am going to call.

I applied for disability in 2022 on my own and was denied. I immediately called the law firm after a friend referred me. My pain, illness & other issues made it extremely difficult for me to focus. Monica Outten and Brian Gillette were very patient with my questions, concerns, confusion and anxiety going through this difficult process and then a second denial. I honestly feel if I had not had them fighting for me I'd still be fighting alone, or worse. They even reached back out to answer more of my questions after they won my case. I HIGHLY recommend them! They will take so much of the stress off of your shoulders. Don't be alone. They will take care of you.

In September 2023, I realized I could no longer endure the work force due to the pain I suffered from my chronic back condition(s). I applied for disability on my own and was denied in February of the following year. A close friend referred me to Gillette Law Group. They agreed to take my case and filed my appeal the same month. My Lead Case Manager Monica was awesome. She held my hand through the entire appeal process, addressing all my disability concerns in a very timely manner. I was approved 7 months later. Mr. Gillette followed up with me to make sure I was satisfied with the process, told me what to expect and answered all my questions. I am so thankful for Mr. Gillette and his wonderful staff. They exceeded my expectations.

Very happy with the level of professionalism, kindness, and understanding from Mrs. Walsh, Linda, and the entire staff.

Thank you again!

My husband broke his back four years ago. Ms Walsh was recommended to us by another attorney, to handle his social security disability case. Ms Walsh and her team were a pleasure to work with, and after a lengthy process (due to fed govt process) she won our case. Honestly she made the process as easy as it could have been for my husband. Thank you Ms Walsh and team!!!

Everything initially was perfect. Seemed like top notch service. But his paralegal Kristin is very condescending and a smart alllec. I was working with them for at least 6 weeks and although it was a peculiar situation, for them to all of a sudden to decide to fire me as a client was completely uncalled for. At the time I was renting a basement apartment from the people I was filing the lawsuit against. I didn't want them to receive the letter before I moved out. We had a move out date but then something came up with my new apartment and I asked if we could push it out one week. Later that evening Kristin sent me a rude email about them deciding to no longer work with me and then Doug sent me an email about how someone he knows specifically told him how slip and fall lawsuits are very hard to win in Virginia. Thankfully I was able to find another law office in Leesburg who were able to get me a very nice settlement. I'm just sad at the way I was treated by Kristin and for them wasting 6 weeks of my time!

I highly recommend Abrams Landau, Ltd if you’re filing for SS Disability. I filed on my own and was denied. I had Abrams Landau’s office to do my appeal.
They know the steps to take and give you the paperwork to provide to your doctors to have everything documented properly.
When it came time for my hearing, Mr. Landau was truly outstanding! Needless to say he won my case.
I will be forever grateful to him and his staff who were always so welcoming and very efficient in getting paperwork submitted.
I would give this law office 10 stars.

A Heartfelt Recommendation for Charles Inch, Attorney at Law
If you are looking for an attorney who is not only incredibly intelligent and skilled but also deeply empathetic and caring, I cannot recommend Charles Inch enough. Charlie is a true gem in the legal profession—someone who is not just focused on “winning” a case but on genuinely supporting his clients through some of the most difficult times in their lives.
When I was facing a custody battle with my ex, I felt like my world was falling apart. My ex had been blocking my access to my child, and I was emotionally shattered. That’s when I found Charlie, and he quickly became a source of hope and strength. Unlike many law firms that prioritize billable hours and courtroom victories, Charlie stood out because of his genuine concern for my mental health and well-being.
Throughout the process, Charlie was diligent and compassionate. He took the time to listen to my concerns, validate my feelings, and make sure I felt supported every step of the way. He didn’t just focus on the legal aspects of my case; he made sure my emotional needs were addressed too. His approach was nothing short of transformative.
Thanks to Charlie’s expertise and dedication, we were able to successfully arrange a child visitation agreement without incurring astronomical legal fees or unnecessary emotional distress. I’m now able to hug and kiss my child again, and I no longer feel trapped in a never-ending cycle of court battles. What could have been a drawn-out and painful process was resolved efficiently and compassionately, all because of Charlie’s tireless efforts.
Charlie is more than just an attorney—he’s an emotional healer and a true advocate for his clients. In my darkest moments, he offered me guidance, support, and a path forward. His kindness, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to his clients set him apart from anyone else in the field.
If you’re in need of legal help, especially during emotionally challenging situations, do yourself a favor and reach out to Charles Inch. I am forever grateful for everything he’s done for me, and I’m proud to offer my heartfelt endorsement of him as both an exceptional attorney and a wonderful human being. Thank you, Charlie, for everything!

I cannot thank Johnson and Masumi enough for their outstanding assistance with my green card application. After receiving a request for evidence (RFE), I was anxious and unsure of how to proceed. Their team stepped in with experience, professionalism and genuine care, guiding me through every step. They meticulously prepared my response to the RFE, ensuring every detail was addressed, which ultimately led to the approval of my case. Thanks to their hard work, I now have my green card. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of immigration assistance. They truly go above and beyond to deliver results!

I cannot recommend Johnson & Masumi, P.C. enough for their exceptional expertise, professionalism, and dedication to their clients. They handled my complex I-751 case with the utmost care and precision, demonstrating a deep and thorough understanding of immigration law.
From the very beginning, their team was meticulous in ensuring that every detail of my case was covered. They made sure every “t” was crossed and every “i” was dotted, leaving no room for error. I also appreciated their proactive communication; I was kept updated on the progress of my case every month, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a stressful process.
Their comprehensive preparation and strategic approach ultimately led to the approval of my case, and I’m thrilled to have recently received my 10-year green card. I am incredibly thankful for their hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to my success.
If you’re seeking immigration attorneys who are not only knowledgeable and reliable but also genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for their clients, Johnson & Masumi, P.C. is the firm to choose. They exceeded my expectations in every way, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Ritchie Law Firm has been a huge help to me in recent years. No one expects to be injured by another persons negligence - but, as people are so distracted & numbed, it seems it will happen more & more. I am so thankful for Ritchie Law Firm, as I have had to use their services several times in the last 10 yrs - who would have thought? In each case, I was rear-ended while following normal safe driving practices. Don't think that being rear-ended is an easy case - it's not. Ritchie Law Firm handled hospital, multiple doctor visits, & insurance problems that would have overwhelmed me - well worth their fee. I am thankful that they took my case - contact them if you need help, that's what they do

After being denied by SSDI, I contacted Natalie. She explained that I had a “chance” of having a positive outcome but it would take time. Natalie explained the long tedious process. She was not only extremely knowledgeable but would 'check in' with me and update my file periodically. It did take 2 years to finally get a hearing with a judge. I am happy that I did finally receive my benefits and would highly recommend Natalie King Powell’s services.

Mr Samuels was helpful as much as possible. I hired him over 2 years ago to assist me with my disability claim. I couldn't have been more pleased with the way he kept in touch and was always a step ahead in the claim process. As today,promptly returns calls.
I have a current insurance company issue & need guidance in the steps to get this rectified so providers can be paid as in the past 30+ yrs I have been with them as a spouse of a retiree.
Understandably, Mr Samuels does have to require a Escrow account deposit to start his assistance. He was very thorough in explaining the associated fee and is understandable given the possibility of time devoted. Unfortunately SSDI is my only income. I don't qualify for any assistance the government supposedly pays those who are unable to meet living requirements due to my being married and my husband receiving actually less per month than I do after the SS insurance Part B deduction.
Mr Samuels is so professional and shows genuine empathy given my disability when initially spoke with him in 2019. He has shown that same professionalism given my current situation. I would (and have) highly recommended this lawyer who genuinely cares more about the client than the understable need for case charge currency. However it is very competitive given the economy and other providers in his profession. Mr Samuels dedicated the time to assure my disability case moved swiftly through the system process and held true to any statement made. Worked with several of my providers as needed . Was very professional in guiding me through the required process of gathering office and the many procedure notes required by me from the Social Security Administration. Mr Samuels is very knowledgeable in the disability program and the way he breaks the language down to layman's terms is a helpful qualification of many definite accomplishments acquired by this top notch attorney.

In 2003, I sought council for a terrible car crash. I was burned by another law firm. I felt their only motive was money, not justice. Then I met "Skip," aka Roger Ritchie Jr.. His dedication and desire to help me was sincere. He cared for me as a person, not as a dollar sign. I have never met anyone so dedicated to serving me. I could not believe that there was an honest and compassionate Lawyer left in the world until I met Skip. He is a devoted and brilliant man who stuck by me again and again, no matter how much "the cards were stacked against me." His mind and his heart are in the right place, which makes a difficult situation so much more bearable. Without him, I would not have a peace of mind, a fair settlement, nor an attorney I could truly count on to help me when I couldn't help myself. He is my Angel. Through the years, Skip has "gone to bat" for me many times. Never has he failed me. I believe it is built in his character to care for everyone like family.

JoAnna Suyes and her paralegal Christy Bixby were incredibly helpful from the first day I stepped foot into Marks & Harrison until 3 plus years later that I had my disability hearing. During the 3 year long process both JoAnna and Christy kept me informed of any and all changes as well the progression of my hearing. JoAnna was very positive, comforting, and reassuring each time that I either spoke to her or that I met with her which was so very important and appreciated, through a most difficult time. After my disability hearing, JoAnna was quite on point with how she felt the decisioning would be. I've not yet received the decisioning of my case but I can say with the strictest convictions either way the decision goes I couldn't have chosen a better attorney.
Thank you JoAnna & Christy

Joanna and her staff filed my application, my appeals, and Joanna went to a hearing with me. Her staff is very knowledgable about all aspects of Social Security. If I couldn't talk to Joanna, I could talk to K and she would be able to answer most of my questions. They were upfront and honest with me the entire time and never let me lose hope with kind words and a good sense of humor. It was an experience that I don't want to repeat, but if I had to, I would not go any other way. Joanna was able to tell me what she thought of the hearing/what decision the judge would make when we left. She was available to answer questions after my FAVORABLE decision and I will continue to send people to Joanna and Marks and Harrison.

Jennie did a phenomenal job in representing me on a tricky speeding case. I was pulled over on the end of a downhill slope for going 90+/70 and headed for a reckless driving conviction which could have had serious consequences for me. Jennie understood what was at stake and from the beginning had very thorough explanations and always made my available options clear to me. She tried to make a plea bargain with the prosecutor who would not accept it, and so she suggested that we tried the case in front of the judge. She laid out the facts very clearly and built up the case to the judge in a terrific manner. In the end the judge agreed with her and decided to reduce my charges to a speeding ticket. I can't say enough how grateful I am for her work. It was amazing and I am SO glad I contacted her. Thank you Jennie!

Jennie is a life saver for my driving record in Virginia. If it wasn't for her, I may not have my license right now. Covington may be a pretty small town, but they still have strict and frequent patrolling by State Police and Local Enforcement, specifically on the Interstate for anyone that knows the area. Nonetheless, I was pinned for a 80/70 that was reduced from an 84/70 on the spot by a friendly and forgiving Officer. Jennie worked with the Commonwealth Attorney directly to allow me to take a driving safety course and avoid negative points on my record by reducing it from a speeding ticket to another type of infraction without damage to my record. She completely got me off this first time and then, flash forward close to 3 years later it happened again, only worse at 90/70, and I thought for sure I was done for considering the Officer did not cut me a break whatsoever. I thought to myself "My luck has finally run out" but she managed to get it dropped to a regular speeding ticket and avoided a misdemeanor on my record and other severe implications caused by a reckless driving ticket/borderline intent to kill ticket (Virginia does not mess around with Speeding).
In both instances, I did not even have to attend the court hearings (luckily so as I am not from that area and can't afford to miss work). PLEASE Do not hesitate to contact Jennie as she will work until you are satisfied and do everything in her power to limit traffic ticket complications. Thank you Jennie.

I was recently awarded my SSDI case with the help of GGL Law Firm. He, and his assistant, Anne are knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, determined, extremely responsive and organized. Calls were never screened and they pick-up or respond to you immediately. They made sure I understood the facts of my case. Mr. Lutkenhaus did not give false hope and most of all, encouraged me to be honest about my disability. It’s very hard to discuss the disabling conditions due to my young age, but he made sure that no favorable facts were unturned during my ALJ hearing. They continue to care even after the case was heard. I highly recommend this firm to anyone.

Wendell Allen took "personal" favors to give custody to a mother that relocated kids to another state without the father consent when he was the Guardian of the kids. He is not to be trusted.

A relative applied for social security disability benefits and had the claim denied. I was asked to help and began to research the social security disability application process. The statistics of denial although staggering were pretty easy to find. It seems that about 67 percent are denied initially and the figure jumps to about 87 percent for reconsiderations. Apparently your chances of success for reconsideration are even lower if you don’t appeal after the initial denial which was the case for my relative. Although I am retired while employed I valued contractors that had memberships in professional organizations specific to their trade or profession. This is the approach I used to help the relative retain a lawyer well versed in social security disability law and contacted NOSSCR – the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives and asked for the names of local members. Much to my surprise only two members worked in the Richmond metropolitan area. Gerald G. Lutkenhaus had far better reviews. From the beginning it was clear that Mr. Lutkenhaus was well versed in social security disability law, rules and procedures. I actually read an entire book on SSA disability before I joined the relative for the initial meeting with the GGL Law Firm. Everything I read was confirmed ten times over. GGL had both the knowledge and the essential experience needed for these types of cases. I must confess that my dislike for most lawyers is that they charge you for every minute you talk to them and they nickel and dime you for everything and anything they can which is definitely not the case with GGL. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Anne the paralegal at GGL. Anne too has an encyclopedic knowledge of social security disability law and procedures and is extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. So what’s the bottom line? Our relative had a hearing 9 months after the first meeting with GGL and was granted a favorable outcome. GGL beat the statistics!!!! I certainly would recommend GGL without hesitation.

What a Social Security & Disability Lawyer Can Do for You
A Social Security and Disability lawyer specializes in helping individuals navigate the complex process of applying for and securing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. These lawyers assist clients in filing applications, gathering necessary medical evidence, appealing denied claims, and representing them in hearings before administrative law judges. A lawyer can help maximize the chances of approval by ensuring that the paperwork is accurate, deadlines are met, and legal standards are addressed.
If you are disabled and unable to work, or if your Social Security Disability claim has been denied, a Social Security and Disability lawyer can guide you through the legal process to obtain the benefits you’re entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Social Security & Disability Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer in the following situations:
- Applying for SSDI or SSI benefits: The application process for disability benefits can be complex, with strict requirements and documentation. A lawyer can assist in completing the application correctly and submitting the required medical evidence to improve your chances of approval.
- Denied disability claim: If your initial claim for SSDI or SSI benefits has been denied, a lawyer can help file an appeal and represent you in hearings. Many claims are denied initially, and having legal representation during the appeal process significantly increases the chances of success.
- Requesting reconsideration: After an initial denial, you have the right to request reconsideration of your claim. A lawyer can help present new medical evidence or correct any errors in your original application.
- Hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ): If your reconsideration request is denied, you may request a hearing before an ALJ. A lawyer can represent you during the hearing, preparing you to answer questions and presenting a strong case based on your medical and work history.
- Proving medical conditions: If your disability involves complex medical conditions, a lawyer can help gather expert medical testimony or additional evidence to demonstrate that your condition meets the legal criteria for disability.
- Overpayments and cessation of benefits: If the Social Security Administration (SSA) claims you were overpaid or attempts to terminate your benefits, a lawyer can assist in challenging the decision and protect your right to continue receiving benefits.
- SSI for low-income individuals: If you are applying for SSI, which is based on financial need in addition to disability, a lawyer can help ensure that your financial records are correctly submitted to meet SSA’s strict income and asset limits.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help you avoid mistakes that could delay or jeopardize your claim.
What Does a Social Security & Disability Lawyer Do?
A Social Security and Disability lawyer provides a range of services to help individuals navigate the application and appeals process for SSDI or SSI benefits. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing initial applications: A lawyer can help prepare and file your SSDI or SSI application, ensuring that all necessary forms are completed accurately and medical evidence is included.
- Gathering medical evidence: A lawyer works with your doctors and healthcare providers to collect medical records, treatment histories, and expert opinions to support your disability claim.
- Filing appeals: If your initial application is denied, a lawyer can file an appeal and guide you through the reconsideration process, ensuring that any additional documentation or evidence is provided.
- Representing you in hearings: A lawyer will represent you in front of an administrative law judge, helping you prepare for the hearing and arguing your case to demonstrate that your disability prevents you from working.
- Handling deadlines and paperwork: A lawyer will ensure that all deadlines are met, and that any requests for additional information from the SSA are responded to promptly.
- Negotiating settlements (for private disability insurance claims): If your disability benefits claim involves private disability insurance (in addition to or instead of SSDI/SSI), a lawyer can help negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.
- Fighting benefit terminations or overpayment claims: If the SSA attempts to terminate your benefits or claims you were overpaid, a lawyer can defend you in administrative proceedings or file for a waiver or reconsideration.
How Are Social Security & Disability Lawyers Paid?
Social Security and Disability lawyers are typically paid on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if your case is successful, either through the approval of your disability benefits or winning an appeal. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The fee is usually 25% of your past-due (backpay) benefits, but no more than $7,200. This fee structure is set by the SSA, and lawyers cannot charge more than this amount for SSDI or SSI cases.
- No cost for future benefits: Lawyers are not entitled to any portion of your future monthly disability benefits. Their fee is strictly limited to a percentage of your backpay.
- Additional costs: In some cases, you may need to pay for additional expenses, such as obtaining medical records or expert witness testimony. These costs are usually minimal, but it’s essential to ask your lawyer about any additional expenses upfront.
It’s essential to confirm fee arrangements with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid misunderstandings.
How Much Does a Social Security & Disability Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer is typically structured around the contingency fee system outlined by the SSA. General cost information includes:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is capped at 25% of your backpay, with a maximum of $7,200. For example, if you are awarded $10,000 in backpay, the lawyer will receive $2,500 (25%), and you will receive the remaining $7,500.
- No cost for future benefits: Lawyers are not entitled to any portion of your future monthly disability benefits. Their fee is strictly limited to a percentage of your backpay.
- Additional costs: In some cases, you may need to pay for additional expenses, such as obtaining medical records or expert witness testimony. These costs are usually minimal, but it’s essential to ask your lawyer about any additional expenses upfront.
Overall, there is no financial risk in hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer, as they only get paid if your case is successful.
Top Questions to Ask a Social Security & Disability Lawyer
Before hiring a Social Security and Disability lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with Social Security Disability cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling SSDI and SSI cases similar to yours, particularly if you have a complex medical condition. -
How do you charge for your services?
Confirm that the lawyer charges a contingency fee and that you won’t owe any fees unless your claim is successful. Ask if there are any additional costs for medical records or other expenses. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and the potential challenges you may face. -
How long will the process take?
Disability claims can take time, especially if you’re appealing a denial. Ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what the typical timeline is for cases like yours. -
How will you help me prepare for my hearing?
If your case is going to a hearing before an administrative law judge, ask the lawyer how they will help you prepare for testimony and present your medical evidence effectively. -
What happens if I’m denied again?
Ask about the next steps if your reconsideration or appeal is denied, including the possibility of further appeals to federal court.
How to Check the Credibility of a Social Security & Disability Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable Social Security and Disability lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for Social Security experience: Review the lawyer’s website or profile to ensure they specialize in Social Security and Disability law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on Social Security Disability matters.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Membership in organizations like the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to representing disability claimants.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a Social Security and Disability lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Medical records: Bring copies of your medical records, including doctor’s notes, test results, treatment histories, and any disability-related diagnoses.
- List of medications and treatments: Provide a detailed list of any medications you are taking, treatments you have received, and ongoing medical care related to your disability.
- Denial letters (if applicable): If your disability claim has been denied, bring a copy of the denial letter from the SSA, along with any documentation related to your appeal.
- Work history: Provide information about your previous jobs and work history, including details about how your disability has impacted your ability to work.
- Social Security application (if already filed): If you’ve already submitted an application, bring a copy of the application and any correspondence you’ve had with the SSA.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions you have about the legal process, the lawyer’s fees, and what to expect in terms of timelines and outcomes.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your situation.
