If you have a physical or mental condition which prevents you from working, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits.

To schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced Social Security Disability attorney, contact us through this Web site or by phone.
Dealing with the rules, regulations, and seemingly endless red tape required by the Social Security Administration can frustrate and confound anyone. The Law Offices of Carlson & Meissner in the Tampa Bay area has years of experience helping ill or injured people claim the Social Security Disability benefits that are due to them after years of paying into the Social Security system.
Denial, Appeals, Reconsideration
Typically, potential clients contact The Law Offices of Carlson & Meisser after an initial Social Security Disability claim has been denied. We welcome the challenge of appealing denials received by deserving claimants. It is important to enlist our assistance in time to file an appeal within the time limit of 60 days after receipt of a denial letter.
Once we have agreed to work on your case, a lawyer form The Law Offices of Carlson & Meissner, we will begin the process of documenting your case and presenting a clear appeal.
Gathering Evidence for a Hearing
If your reconsideration appeal is denied, we will file a request for a hearing within 60 days. During the months (usually about a year) before the hearing, we will verify, gather, and update your medical records. You will help us to be sure that all treating physicians and therapists are represented in your files.
If you prevail, you may receive notice from the Social Security Administration of a favorable decision --- as well as a retroactive lump sum payment dating back to the date of your original application, or of your initial disability.
Appeals Filed in the United States District Court
If an unfavorable decision is received from the Office of Hearings and Appeals, we are prepared to go forward with an appeal to the Appeals Council. If the Council denies your appeal, you will have the option to proceed further and file an action in the United States District Court. During the lengthy process of appeals, we may request that the Social Security Administration expedite your claim if you qualify as being in dire need.
Our lawyers represent Social Security Disability and workers' compensation claimants on a contingency basis. This means that you will not owe us attorneys' fees until and unless your claim is approved.
