After becoming unexpectedly disabled I was placed in a position where I now needed representation for my Social Security Disability case. After asking around several people recommended the Avard law firm, they all said they were a good firm. Those recommendations of Avard being a good firm was a severe understatement, they are an outstanding firm.
With some law firms it’s just about the money, but the Avard Law Firm truly cares about their clients and will fight to the end for what is right and just. I had numerous instances where the Social Security Judge violated not only my rights but social security law and they caught him every time, they are not afraid to fight for their clients. It has been my experience watching lawyers perform in court over the years that most of the time they are unprepared and looking to make the quick deal and buck, but not this firm. They are heavily involved in their cases and are completely prepared when representing a client. As far as their expertise in the law you cannot find a more knowledgeable firm and they will do everything in their power to get you what is deserved.
I won my case due to their hard work and dedication to the client, I strongly recommend this firm to anyone needing representation and you would be doing yourself an injustice by going with any other Law Firm.

Please accept my sincere thanks for handling my case.  I was relieved beyond words when I learned that the decision from the SSA was in my favor.  For the last three months, I was reassured knowing that you were representing me with expertise and experience.

With appreciation,

1. Are You Working?
If your earnings average more than $1,000/month, you are generally not considered disabled.
2. Is Your Condition Considered Severe?
A “severe impairment” is one that significantly affects your capacity to do work-related activities. If your impairment is not severe then you will lose your claim at this question.
3. Does your condition prevent you from returning to your last job?
If you can return to your previous job within 12 months of your disability onset, you will generally not be considered disabled.
4. Does your condition prevent you from doing all other kinds of work?
You may have a strong disability benefits claim. You can contact a Social Security attorney to assist you with filing a Disability Application right away.
You may still have a disability claim based on other factors; if you believe you are disabled, you should get a consultation on your case.
For a free disability case evaluation or to see if you qualify visit www.AvardLaw.com or call (800) 814-0808 or (239) 945-0808 to speak with a Legal Assistant.

HOT COFFEE, is filmmaker Susan Saladoff’s documentary which “debunks” the myths about frivolous lawsuits. The film poignantly shows that so-called frivolous lawsuits  are largely a fairy tale created by powerful corporations and the insurance industry to try and limit injured citizens equal access to our system of justice. Hot Coffee demonstrates that fundamental fairness and the ability to pursue well-founded claims make up the very fabric of the American judicial system.
