You’re a neighbor, not a number

If you live in Oak Lawn – or anywhere in the Southwest Chicago suburbs – and get Nash Disability Law to help with your Social Security Disability case, you’re getting a lawyer with a commitment to our community and neighbors. Our roots here are deep: Tom Nash graduated from Brother Rice High School.

It’s a real struggle when health problems make it impossible for you to work. We know your case isn’t just about your benefits – it’s about your life.

Your financial stability, your independence and your dignity are at stake. This is personal, so you deserve a lawyer who takes time getting to know you in order to help you win benefits.

At Nash Disability Law, this is our mission.

We opened our office in Palos Hills right next to the Social Security Administration office. Our goal is to make it as comfortable as possible for you to apply for benefits.

In all, we’ve helped thousands of Chicago-area people get benefits. So whether you’re from Burbank, Evergreen Park or Hickory Hills, the odds are we’ve helped a neighbor of yours.

Hard things happen to good people. But we Chicagoans are tough. We stand up for each other.

How having a local lawyer helps you

With some out-of-town firms, you’ll only see an advocate on the day you have a hearing with a judge. And sometimes, this person will not even be a lawyer.

That’s not how we operate. We’ll meet you ahead of time so we can better understand your case – and help you get ready and confident.

When you work with a local law firm, you get the advantage of local knowledge.

At Nash Disability Law, we know how the local system works:

• We know the people, neighborhoods and suburbs of Chicago.
• We know the local clinics, hospitals, doctors, social service agencies and the people who work in the Social Security offices.
• We know the job experts and medical experts Social Security pays to testify about you.

Social Security judges in Orland Park

The Social Security Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) in Orland Park oversees appeals for people who live across the Southwest Chicago suburbs:

• In early 2017, the administrative law judges in the Orland Park office were approving benefits about 44 percent of the time.
• The Chicago judges approved benefits 42 percent of the time.
• The Illinois state approval rate was 44 percent.
• Nationwide, it was 45 percent.

It should be simple to apply for Social Security Disability benefits, but it takes a lot of work and patience. It can take 17 months to get a hearing with a judge in Illinois.

When so many people are getting turned down, it makes sense to get a professional to help with your application or appeal.

Statistics from the Social Security Administration have shown your chances of winning Social Security Disability benefits are better when you have a lawyer.

You don’t pay any fee unless you win. If you live in the Chicago area and need Social Security Disability benefits, contact us today.
