If you have medical problems which prevent you from working, you may be entitled to monthly Social Security disability benefits.

Attorneys David Hankus and Rachel Pinch concentrate in representing claimants throughout Michigan in claims for Social Security Disability Benefits and Supplemental Security Income.

The onset of a disability which prevents work is a devastating event. Claimants filing for Social Security Disability Benefits must not only battle significant medical problems but must also cope with a sudden and often unexpected loss of income. Claimants are easily overwhelmed by the Social Security disability process.

Mr. Hankus and Ms. Pinch recognize and appreciate the difficulties suffered by their clients. They pride themselves in delivering personalized attention to each client, insuring that each of their clients is diligently and vigorously represented.

I was told about this law office by a co-worker and Rachel was great. Whenever I had a question about my SSD the didn't hesitate to take my call and answer my questions. It took about 5 and a half months to get my SSD. I did see 2 doctors per SSD request, one about half hour away and one here in my town. These people are great. Everything is done over the phone and if they need to go to court they will come to you. I recommend any of the people in this office for any disability claims.

Mr. Hankus was extremely helpful in getting my Social Security disability approved.  I was denied benefits when I applied.  I contacted Mr. Hankus based on a referral of a friend.   He agreed to represent me and handled all the paperwork in filing for an appeal.  He represented me at my hearing and I was successful in getting my benefits thanks to Mr. Hankus.  I was extremely satisfied with the services provided.  He was very professional and I will recommend him to others seeking disability from Social Security.

Thanks to David Hankus, he didn't give up on my fight for my Disability Benefits. I couldn't have been in better hands than his. He treated me as a disabled person and my case with respect and dignity. I know without his knowledge and support I could not have succeeded. I will always remember and appreciate his tireless, hard work for me despite my not being able to pay him what he earned and deserved. I didn't know a lawyer in my life until Mr. Hankus, I was frightened every step of the way. He carried me mentally and physically so to speak on his back through every step while fighting for me with the court system. I will highly recommend him for the rest of my life. Thank you.

I was initially denied Social Security Benefits and actually tried contacting someone else, who referred me to Mr Hankus.   What a blessing that turned out to be.  My first lawyer dropped me real quick, but Mr Hankus reviewed my case and took off running with it.  It may have taken us 4 years (or more) to get through all the appeals, but Mr Hankus stood by me and I had complete trust in him, and we eventually won.  I cannot thank Mr Hankus enough, throughout this whole process he kept me informed and kept my spirits high even though I was giving up hope.  He never lost faith.  I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me.  I will definitely be sending more clients his way!!!!  Thank you SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After being denied, we contacted a local attorney. He said we would have to do all the the refiling and research of documents and he'd consider the case. My husband saw a TV ad for Attorney Hankus and called. He took over everything and won our case. We couldn't have done it without him.

David Hankus has been the best attorney I had worked with. I was a child on disability that aged out and was cut off. When I reapplied at 18 they denied me. Not knowing what to do, I just let it go until I was 22. When I found Mr. Hankus at 22 after I had been denied benefits again, he took my case and not only did he win, but he got them to back pay until I was 18. What an awesome job! I'm still giving referrals for him today, 10 years later!

Contacting David Hankus was the best decision in receiving Social Security benefits! Everyone else gave me the run-around, filling out papers over and over. When finally, I was referred to David Hankus and he did all the work for me! Best of all, I didn't have to pay anything before he won my case!
