✦Social Security Disability Representation
Federal Court Appeals Representation
Representation for Social Security Disability claimants seeking judicial review in Federal District Court after completing administrative appeals.
What We Handle
Judicial Review After Administrative Appeals
After an unfavorable decision and Appeals Council review, a claimant may have the right to ask a Federal District Court to review the Social Security Administration's decision. Federal court review is different from an administrative hearing and focuses on whether the agency applied the law correctly and whether its decision is supported by the record.
Strict Filing Deadlines Apply
Federal court cases involve formal filing requirements and important deadlines. A prompt review of the Appeals Council notice and administrative record can help identify the available next steps.
