Newport News Social Security Disability Lawyers

SSD Lawyers

No one plans for a serious injury or devastating illness to curtail their working life. Unfortunately, this happens all the time, and the disabled person has little or no income. Many people in this situation may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. The process is often complicated, time-consuming, and initial denials are the rule rather than the exception. That is why it is wise to seek legal help in filing an SSDI claim right from the start.

Most people get denied disability benefits on their initial application. Working with a Newport News Social Security Lawyer at Rutter Mills to file your appeal increases your chances of getting the maximum benefits.

What We Do

For over 60 years, the Newport News Social Security lawyers at Rutter Mills have helped thousands of clients receive the benefits they deserve for SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a program for low-income disabled individuals who do not qualify for SSDI.

SSDI Eligibility Requirements

Only those who are completely disabled, with a condition expected to last more than 12 months or end in death, are eligible for SSDI benefits. These individuals cannot have reached the official full Social Security retirement age. They must have sufficient Social Security work credits- which is full-time for five of the last 10 years.

The Newport News Social Security Disability Lawyers at Rutter Mills can guide the applicant through the difficult process. From the beginning, we make sure the SSA has the appropriate medical records for our client, including all test results. In fact, a lack of certain test results can be a major factor in why an applicant is denied benefits.

Because appeals are so frequently denied, many clients will have to testify before an Administrative Law Judge. We prepare clients for this testimony, which may also include calling witnesses, such as medical experts. Family and friends may also testify about how the disability has affected the client’s life and how the person can no longer take part in normal activities. We will also cross-examine witnesses brought by the SSA to the hearing.

We can also help those eligible for SSI. Eligibility criteria include blindness, disability, or being over 65 years of age. Disability means the physical or mental inability to hold any gainful employment. The disability must last at least 12 months or is expected to end with the applicant’s death. The person must have limited income and resources.

At Rutter Mills, our Newport News Supplemental Security Income Lawyers have been helping Virginians for over 60 years get the money they need to survive.

Your Best Next Steps

If you are disabled and can no longer work, you need the services of our team of Newport News social security lawyers at Rutter Mills. We will evaluate your case and determine whether you are eligible for SSDI or SSI benefits.

If you meet the criteria, we can assist you in filling out the complex forms and get the application process started.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. Rutter Mills LLP is the BEST.

I had and still do have the most valuable, professional and friendly relationship with Selena Paszkiewicz and Mr. Lotkin. It was a bit rough waiting for the case to conclude because of covid; however, it was DEFINITELY worth the wait and the experience. Not to mention how, as a 20 year plus employment. Selena was so gracious as to assist me in paralegal questions, as I've just graduated from studying law as a paralegal. Upon the case being concluded, she has still promised I could always call for advice and paralegal help. I'm going to grow up to be just like her (lol). Rutter Mills attorneys and paralegals, especially Mr. Lotkin and Selena Paszkiewicz, you're the best ever. PLEASE PLEASE keep doing what you love. When you do what you're meant for and with the joy you both have in it, it's not a job or work... it's a career for life!!!

Rutter Mills did exactly what I needed. Took all the pressure off of me, negotiated a fair settlement, and treated me royally in the process. At a low point in my mood, they even sent me cookies! My attorney Mr Boran, Kathy, Julie and the rest made a bad situation as painless as possible. I feel lucky to have chosen them after my accident. Thanks Rutter Mills team

Asia W.

My experience dealing with Rutter Mills was amazing! Gina Montgomery and Adam Lotkin answered every question and made sure I had a clear understanding of everything. They are hardworking individuals that will get every detail down in court! I would definitely recommend them to any and everyone! It was a blessing working with them and if I ever need them in the future, they will be the lawyers I'd call!

Mr. Young and his team exceeded my expectations in the way they handled the case and kept me informed. They got involved with my medical billing issues from the accident and a workman's comp claim. They have resolved the issues with workman's comp. I would whole-heartedly recommend this firm.
