Reasons to Choose John L. Roberts as
Your Social Security Disability Attorney

There are many disability claims services and law firms that are eager to sign you up as a client. Why choose a local attorney to work on your case? Here are reasons to hire Attorney Roberts:

Legal Experience. I became a lawyer in 1989. My first job was with the United States District Court in Springfield. Working as a Judicial Law Clerk on long term disability cases and Social Security disability appeals, I learned how the medical evidence in each case had to fit the disability laws and regulations. Legal experience can help you obtain a favorable disability decision earlier in the claims process. Check Massachusetts Registration. Check Connecticut Registration.

We Focus on Disability Benefits Law. By limiting our practice to Social Security Disability and government benefits eligibility law, your disability case gets our full attention. It's not a side issue for us.

Sustaining Member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants RepresentativesIf you are referred to us by a worker's compensation lawyer, we will work with your comp lawyer to protect your interests and help the comp lawyer coordinate your settlement to maximize your SSDI benefits. If you are referred to us by a personal injury lawyer, we will work with your P.I. lawyer to get your SSDI benefits as quickly as possible. We can also work with your personal injury lawyer to make sure that your injury settlement does not disrupt your eligibility for benefits and services. We keep track of the eligibility law and regulations.

Practical Experience. I opened this law practice in 1991, upon completing the Federal Court clerkship. Having practiced disability law and litigation since then, I understand the time constraints and problems faced by you, your doctors and the people in the health care professions who treat your disability. My job is to work with you and the busy people who are treating you. I'll explain the Social Security regulations and obtain reports that are consistent with what Social Security needs to make a favorable disability decision for you. This practical experience can save you from the trial and error that slows down the claims process.

Convenience. We are close to your home. For in-person meetings with you, our suburban office is convenient and accessible. We are close to the Social Security offices where the agency workers and officials make the initial disability decisions, and conduct the administrative hearings. Office Location: 1200 Converse Street, Longmeadow, Massachusetts 01106.

You Can Monitor Your Case from Your Home. Talk to us by phone from your home now, and whenever you have a question about your case. When you want to check on the progress of your case, just call us at (413) 567-5600 and request a case report update. Our report shows what's in the Social Security Disability case file, including updates on your treatment records and your doctor reports.

MOST IMPORTANT: Prompt Attention to Your Case, Every Step of the Way. When evidence needs to be reviewed promptly and submitted to the Hearings Office in Springfield, we can deliver it to them on the same day, either by in-person or electronic delivery. If information about your work history, or signed forms are needed by the District Office in Springfield, they get it the day they are working on your case. This kind of service has made a big difference for our clients. They get the disability decision they need, so their benefits checks begin sooner. Listen to the voices of our clients, who explain how our work got things going for their claim.

Local Access to Your Case File. Your case file won't be with a paralegal, claims clerk or attorney in Boston, or New York. You can talk directly with us, during each step of the case.

Massachusetts and ConnecticutCoordination of Your Case. Distance is one less problem when you hire an experience local attorney. We can help with referrals to medical specialists who can answer the questions raised by Social Security about your physical and mental impairments. If you are seeing doctors in Boston, I have found that they do appreciate and cooperate with a hometown professional who knows and understands the needs of a patient from Western Massachusetts. They know you are traveling many miles to get the medical treatment you need.

Continuing Education. I graduated from Western New England College School of Law, cum laude, in 1989. That was just the beginning of my education. Every year I attend classes on medical treatment taught by doctors, and disability benefits law seminars taught by lawyers.

Research and Preparation of Your Case. Hours of medical and legal research will be needed to get you the disability decision you need. With a full understanding of your diagnosis and treatment, we can effectively present your case, and get your disability decision. Call for a free evaluation of your case: (413) 567-5600.

Confidence, and Hope for Your Future. You can monitor our work on your disability case from your home. We'll take care of all the details that are needed to get your disability decision. You can focus your time on your treatment and other important things, knowing we care about you, and we are working hard to get you a favorable disability decision.
