Why Should I Get Social Security Lawyers Near Me in Ohio?
How Can a Social Security Lawyer Near Me Help?
Some national firms will tell you to apply for benefits on your own and come back if your claim gets denied by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
That’s not how HNB works. We think you should have a lawyer who can help you build a convincing disability claim from the beginning.
An Ohio disability lawyer near you will help you with each step of the process:
Step #1: Figuring out if you qualify for disability benefits.
Social Security runs two disability benefits programs, and our lawyers can help you figure out which benefits you qualify for and what you’ll need to show the SSA.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is meant for people who have worked and paid into Social Security before developing a work-stopping health problem.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a need-based program, so having worked isn’t a requirement. Instead, you must have limited total financial means.
Step #2: Helping you with your application.
Applying for disability benefits is more work than you might expect. You have to fill out forms, gather evidence and respond to requests from Social Security.
We’ll help you with all of that so that you don’t encounter unnecessary delays or make any mistakes that could endanger your benefits.
Step #3: Supporting your appeal if you get denied disability benefits.
Getting denied disability benefits is discouraging, but it’s not the end. Many people win benefits on appeal, but the appeals process is long and complicated.
You should have an experienced local Social Security Disability lawyer on your side when you go through this. We’ll help you request reconsideration within the 60-day deadline. We’ll represent you at your disability hearing.
If you need to go to the Social Security Appeals Council or file a suit in federal court, we’ll help you with that too.
When you work with a lawyer near you in Ohio, you get to work with someone who gives your case more time and personal attention.
You aren’t left to go through any of these steps in the Social Security Disability process on your own.
We can also help you maximize other forms of disability assistance that may be available to you. If you have a long-term disability insurance policy, HNB also has long-term disability lawyers who can help you fight a denial of private benefits.

National or out-of-state firms may have big staffs and other resources, but they don’t know the local landscape like we do.
The disability lawyers of HNB Law know the state’s employers and industries. We know what kind of jobs Ohioans do and how health issues can make it impossible to work and support yourself.
Don’t trust your disability claim to just anybody. Work with a knowledgeable attorney who knows Ohio well.
Is It More Expensive to Hire a Disability Lawyer Near Me?
Some people turn to big national firms when they need help applying for disability benefits because they think they’ll charge less for their services than a smaller firm would.
This simply isn’t the case. Social Security has its own rules about how much an attorney can charge you for help with your disability application, and the rules apply the same to everyone.
If a disability attorney helps you with your claim, you can only be charged once you’re awarded benefits. Social Security also caps the fee at 25% of your back pay or $9,200, whichever is less.
This means that there’s no upfront fee to worry about and you don’t even have to cut a check to your lawyer yourself, since the attorney fee comes out of your back pay.
If you’re going to pay the same fee either way, work with a Social Security Disability lawyer near you who cares about local people and will take the time to really understand your situation.
We’ll treat you like a person, not just another faceless disability claim.
HNB has won more than $500 million in benefits and settlements for everyday Ohioans facing health impairments, injuries and other setbacks in life.
