Why Do I Need an SSD Lawyer?

Often, people with disabilities have a difficult time explaining how their conditions affect their lives and their ability to work. At Macdonald, Chase & Dufour, we have found that through personal discussions with our clients, we are able to identify many important aspects of their disabilities that may be useful in building their Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims.

For example, if you have a physical disability, you may only focus on how your disability contributes to your inability to work. There are many factors that contribute to a person's inability to work full time, including, but not limited to: sleeplessness, pain and side effects of medication, age, education and work experience.

Getting Help at the Initial Stage is Crucial

At Macdonald, Chase & Dufour, we encourage you to seek help from an experienced professional at the very start of the SSD claim process — the initial application stage. Our lawyers will make sure that the full extent of your condition is properly documented and will help you avoid any potential delays or pitfalls. With more than 25 years of experience assisting clients with SSD matters, we will do everything we can to make sure your application is approved the first time.

If your initial claim was denied, don't lose hope. Our attorneys and representatives can work to build a stronger case for benefits and oversee your SSD appeal. We are one of the few law firms in central Maine that offers court hearing video services.
