Disability Benefits Law
When you’re living with a disabling illness or suffering from an injury, it can be difficult to have your needs met while also doing everyday activities and trying to pay your bills. Disability benefits can help, but applying for them can feel intimidating.

We represent individuals with disabilities throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C., including clients with long-term disabilities who are applying for Social Security disability insurance (SSDI). Our attorneys also handle federal disability retirement claims (FERS) for federal employees nationwide.

Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders and injuries that may qualify you for disability benefits include:
