NUNN Disability Law

  • We at Nunn Disability Law pride ourselves on having broad Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) practice experience, in-depth SSDI and SSI knowledge, absolute thoroughness throughout all aspects of our clients’ SSDI and/or SSI claims, and excellent client care—all necessary components to winning your SSDI and/or SSI claim.

    Specifically, we perform each of the following duties with first-rate attention:

    • Proofreading and submitting your SSDI and/or SSI claim paperwork in a timely, detailed and complete manner. At Nunn Disability Law, thoroughness is our priority and we guarantee that your paperwork is completed and processed correctly the first time to prevent any unnecessary setback(s) for your SSDI and/or SSI claim.

    • Providing you with constant availability throughout your SSDI and/or SSI claim application and appeals processes. All client email and voicemail messages are responded to by a Nunn Disability Law representative (usually an attorney) within 24 hours, with only very rare exceptions (like an emergency).

    • Consistent, timely updating of your medical records for your SSDI and/or SSI claim. Your medical records are the backbone of your SSDI and/or SSI claim, which is why it is vital that Nunn Disability Law gather a complete set of your medical records at the beginning of our representation followed by our periodically checking in with you to inquire whether any additional treatment records should be added from existing or new treatment providers. We also take very seriously our role to doggedly pursue outstanding medical records from treatment providers who either are delayed or are noncompliant with fulfilling our records requests.

    • Thorough, page-by-page examination of your records to ensure all relevant facts are accounted for in your SSDI and/or SSI claim. SSDI and/or SSI claim files, particularly medical records, can often span several hundreds or even thousands of pages, however it is essential that your attorney meticulously inspect every page of your records, no matter how voluminous, to uncover all important material that may either assist or potentially damage your SSDI and/or SSI claim, and then discuss those issues with you prior to taking any action.

    • Comprehensive preparation with you well in advance of your Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing date. It is crucial that your attorney thoroughly prepare you prior to your ALJ hearing, as well as giving you at least a few days between preparation and your ALJ hearing date the opportunity to ask your attorney any follow up questions about your SSDI and/or SSI claim.

    • Zealous representation of your SSDI and/or SSI claim throughout the Disability Appeals process, particularly at your ALJ hearing. Your attorney’s knowledge and skill during your ALJ hearing, specifically knowing what questions to ask (or not ask) you in front of your ALJ (judge), knowing how to effectively cross-examine Medical and Vocational Experts, and being able to cite the correct Medical Listing(s), Medical-Vocational Guideline(s) (Grid Rules) and/or Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) theory—all in a split-second—can make the difference between you winning and losing your SSDI and/or SSI claim.

    • Timely post-ALJ hearing representation which ensures that all outstanding medical records are submitted punctually to the ALJ. The conclusion of your ALJ hearing is often not the end your SSDI and/or SSI claim, which is why Nunn Disability Law guarantees that all post-hearing requested medical records and other materials are delivered timely to the ALJ.

  • Nunn Disability Law represents Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claimants nationwide—all 50 states, all districts and all territories throughout the United States.

  • Nunn Disability Law represents Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claimants at ALL 5 stages of the Appeals Process:

    1. Initial

    2. Reconsideration

    3. Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing

    4. Appeals Council

    5. Federal Court

  • Nunn Disability Law operates on a CONTINGENCY BASIS, meaning we charge NOTHING ($0) for attorneys' fees unless your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim is won.

    For the SSDI and/or SSI claims that are won at the Initial, Reconsideration or Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) stages, Social Security regulations permit attorneys to recover a maximum of either $9,200 or 25% of your backpay, whichever is lower, from your SSDI and/or SSI backpay award for an attorney’s fee.

    For the SSDI and/or SSI claims that are won at the Appeals Council or Federal Court stages, we normally will recover 25% of your backpay from your SSDI and/or SSI award for an attorney’s fee.

    Nunn Disability Law may, but will not always, also charge for excessive records, copying and/or filing fees for any SSDI and/or SSI claim that is either won or lost—charging for excessive records, copying and/or filing fees will be rare and will be addressed on a case-by-case basis with the client(s).

  • No. If your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim is won, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will pay Nunn Disability Law its attorney’s fee directly from your SSDI and/or SSI backpay—you personally will not be required to handle paying Nunn Disability Law for its attorney’s fee.

  • Successful Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims are most easily won when there is a team effort between you and your attorney. Where your attorney has multiple responsibilities, such as gathering evidence and preparing everyone for hearing, your duties as a client are equally important, which are to:

    • Initially disclose the names of all of your PAST or CURRENT doctors and other current treatment providers (even occasional ones) to your attorney for medical records recovery.

    • Promptly contact your attorney with the names of any NEW doctors and/or other new treatment providers (even occasional ones) at any time during the Appeals Process for further medical records recovery.

    • Promptly notify your attorney of any NEW contact information (telephone number(s), mailing address, email address) for yourself, such as if you move residences and/or switch telephone numbers—notifying your attorney of these changes are especially important when your Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing date approaches.

    • Promptly return all voicemail and email messages (hopefully within 1-2 days) to your attorney.

    • Be available for all agreed upon pre-ALJ hearing preparation session(s) as well as always reachable, especially on the ALJ hearing date/time itself.

    • Possess a collaborative spirit, flexibility and an open mind when working with your attorney.
