Social Security Disability, Veterans' Disability Compensation, and Long-Term Disability Attorneys

Whether you are seeking Social Security Disability, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Veterans’ Disability Compensation, or long-term disability benefits, the process can be frustrating, overwhelming, and discouraging.


Many people who apply are denied, and then denied again before getting approved for benefits. The vast majority of claimants are not turned away because their disability isn't genuine. The unfortunate reality is that many qualified claimants are denied because they do not hire a qualified disability attorney and do not know-how to get their disability claim approved.

We Make the Legal Process Simple


At LaVan and Neidenberg, we go the extra mile to help our clients through the process of securing their disability benefits.  We have years of experience securing disability benefits for our clients. Using our specialized and in-depth understanding of disability law we have obtained over $400 million in benefits.

We help you navigate through this complex process and appeal any denials. Unlike many other disability law firms, we help you every step of the way, from filing all of your paperwork to gathering your medical records. Without exception, we will assist you in completing the applications, questionnaires, and appeals, making sure that each document meets the proper requirements and standards. We will request your medical histories and evaluations from your past and present doctors, building your medical case. We make certain that your claim is getting the attention it deserves.

We have served thousands of claimants over the years, and we understand the stress and frustration that you may feel trying to battle the system alone. The application process can be intimidating and confusing, especially for those who are also struggling with debilitating mental disorders or physical disabilities. We can’t take away your pain, but let us relieve your legal burden.

At LaVan & Neidenberg, We Fight for Your Rights!
