Imagine not having to worry about dealing with the Social Security Administration, not having to wonder whether you filled out a form correctly or sent it in on time, and having one less thing to worry about.

Our office can handle your disability claim for you so that you can focus on your health and other priorities.

  • We understand the eligibility requirements for the two types of disability benefits, and can explain the differences to you in a way that is easily understandable.
  • We are very familiar with the application for Social Security disability benefits, and we understand why Social Security is asking certain questions.
  • We know how to best communicate with Social Security Administration directly on behalf of our clients.
  • We are aware of the deadlines set forth by Social Security, and are able to ensure that all paperwork is completed in a timely manner.

Our goal is to do as much as the work possible and guide you through each step of the process toward obtaining your Social Security Disability benefits.

Working with Rachel was a very pleasant and painless experience! Rachel is very knowledgeable in the disability arena and I can convincingly say I don't think I would have had the ability to win my case without hiring this law firm to represent me. I would recommend this law firm in a heartbeat to anybody especially my fellow veterans of the armed forces!!!

We will make sure your application is as complete and accurate as possible, we handle all of the paperwork necessary, and we communicate with the Social Security Administration on your behalf. We are here for you - to answer questions that you have and provide guidance every step of the way.

At the initial application level, our office provides a number of benefits to you:

  • We file your application for you when appropriate.
  • We guide you in completing additional necessary paperwork.
  • We update Social Security with changes in your medical condition.

  • We submit updated medical records prior to your hearing to support your disability.
  • We fully prepare you for your hearing by educating you about who will be present, the format of the hearing, and the issues the judge must decide to award you benefits.

David and Rachel are professional attorneys and their staff are very knowledgeable as well. Many calls I made to the office, Rachel answered the phone personally and answered my questions or concerns. As for the rest of the staff, I was just as impressed. With other offices I have heard you get shuffled around from person to person. Not with this office, they are all on your case and treat you like you are family. I can personally say I recommend the Law Office of David Hankus for anyone applying for disability. The fact that they are disability attorneys mean that they know their business and you can be sure they will handle your case with personal and professional attention.
