QUESTIONNAIRE
I handled a case where a claimant had been denied benefits after an ALJ hearing. I filed an appeal with the Appeals Council, and the case was sent back for a second hearing before the same ALJ.At the second hearing, I was able, through cross examination of a medical expert, to establish that the claimant was in fact disabled from the time of the original application. The ALJ changed his opinion and found the claimant disabled. In another case, I cross examined another medical expert who had testified that my client was only "moderately" impaired. The medical expert was not able to define what "moderate" meant and the claimant was awarded benefits.
How did you build a successful practice?I built my practice by accepting the difficult cases that other lawyers turned down and winning them. Also by treating everyone respectfully, listening to people, and working hard for them.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?Clients should look for a lawyer who listens to them respectfully, asks the right questions, and allows them to work "with" him for the common goal of winning.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?Local knowledge would be knowing various individuals in the community where I practice who may have an impact on my clients' claims. Not just the ALJ's, but people within the SSA and medical community. Also various other specialists, like vocational experts and others who could provide professional opinions on the disability process.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?I usually provide information concerning the disability evaluation process, including the bureaucratic steps involved in processing a disability claim. I would provide some information regarding the standards applied by the SSA to evaluate disability claims, both medical and vocational. I would provide information regarding work activity as well.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?I need to know a person's age, work history, educational level and the kinds of skills used in their prior work.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?I have many years of experience in the Social Security disability area. I used to work for the agency myself from the time I was still a law student. I have actively engaged in this area of practice since I graduated from law school in 1981. I practice at all levels of appeal within the Social Security disability law. I have appeared at hearings or been the attorney of record in over fifteen states.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?Helping individuals and their families who need assistance is the biggest reward. It keeps me doing what I'm doing.
What are your other interests in addition to law?I enjoy music and play guitar and piano in my spare time.
Are you involved in your community?I have been involved in community organizations.
