A Guide in this Process Who Cares About You

When you can’t work because of serious health problems, life quickly becomes overwhelming. Your income stops, bills stack up, and your future is uncertain.

Social Security Disability benefits are there to ease this difficult situation. But the process is confusing, time-consuming and frustrating.

Choosing the right disability lawyer matters. You might see national firms and companies advertising on TV, but when your health and livelihood are on the line, it’s best to have someone who knows your community and takes the time to get to know you.

Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal (HNB) is a disability law firm for Ohioans. We live and work in the same Ohio communities we serve. We know the local system that makes decisions on disability claims, the local disability judges, the local doctors and clinics who we contact for key medical records.

When it comes to something this personal, local matters.

HNB represents people in Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland and across Ohio. We know how to build strong disability claims and help you avoid mistakes that can weaken your case for benefits.

For our clients, we’re guided by a reputation we’ve built for over 40 years: “Helping me, that’s HNB.”

    Why a Local Disability Lawyer Can Give You Better Results

    There are a few reasons you’ll want to choose a local lawyer for your disability case.

    First of all, Social Security Disability may be a federal program, but each region operates a little differently. Each area has its own offices, staff, and administrative law judges who decide disability appeals, all with their own preferences and expectations.

    A local, Ohio disability lawyer like the lawyers at HNB understands these details. We know how long cases take, what kind of medical evidence judges want to see, and how to talk to local doctors and clinics to get the most complete documentation.

    National firms handle thousands of claims simultaneously, often with minimal personal contact. But with HNB Law, you’ll have a team that treats you like a neighbor.

    You’ll meet with a real advocate who prepares your case carefully, stays in touch, and stands beside you every step of the way.

    When you work with a national firm, you may never meet your representative until the day of your disability appeals hearing.

    They might not know your background, your community, or even the judge who’s deciding your case. That’s not the personal attention you deserve, especially with something so important like your health, family and financial security.

    At HNB, we listen. We meet with you in person or over the phone to understand how your health problems affect your daily life. We build your case around your story because your story matters.
