Filing for Social Security Disability benefits can be complex. Pete will help you complete and file your initial application thoroughly and accurately—ensuring all key details, medical information, and supporting documents are included to give your claim the best possible start.

If your initial claim was denied, don’t give up. Most claims are denied at first, but you have the right to appeal. Larkin Law will help you file a request for reconsideration, addressing any issues in the initial decision and strengthening your case with additional medical evidence or details.

If your reconsideration is also denied, the next step is requesting a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Pete will  handle the paperwork, prepare you for what to expect, and ensure your case is presented clearly and completely.

This is your opportunity to explain your case in person. Pete will represent you at the hearing, questioning witnesses, presenting medical records, and making sure your voice is heard. With his many years of hearing-level experience, Pete knows how to advocate effectively on your behalf.

If the judge denies your claim, you still have options. Pete can help you request a review by the Social Security Appeals Council, identifying legal errors or oversights in your hearing that could change the outcome of your case.

You don’t pay anything up front. Larkin Law will only collect a fee from you if your case is approved—and even then, the fee is regulated and paid directly by the Social Security Administration, capped as percentage of your past-due benefits. This ensures our goals are fully aligned with yours: getting you the benefits you deserve.
